Roof leaking right now?
Call (661) 213-2203. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, and someone is on call after hours, so you can call anytime. We tarp roofs in emergencies to help limit the damage until a permanent repair can be made.
While you wait: move furniture and electronics away from the leak, put a bucket under the drip, and stay off the roof, especially when it's wet.
Home roof repair
Most home roof leaks start small. These are the repairs we see most often on shingle and tile roofs:
- Missing or damaged shingles, often after wind.
- Cracked, broken or slipped tiles that let water reach the layers underneath.
- Worn underlayment under tile roofs, fixed with a tile lift-and-relay: we lift the tiles, replace the underlayment and relay the tiles.
- Worn or loose flashing where the roof meets walls, chimneys and pipes.
- Leaks around vents and other roof penetrations.
- Worn spots on flat or low-slope sections of the roof, repaired with TPO or roof coatings.
- Swamp cooler openings. When an old cooler comes off, we close up the opening in the roof. Whether the old stand or curb comes off depends on the roof and the job, and we check that during the inspection. See how to close up a swamp cooler opening.
Shingle or tile, we'll explain what we found and what the repair includes before we start. If the damage came from a storm, we can help you with your insurance claim. See residential roofing for more about the roofs we work on.
Flat roof sections on homes
Plenty of Bakersfield homes have a flat or low-slope section over an addition, a patio cover or a back room. Shingles and tile need slope to shed water, so these spots are a common source of home leaks. We repair flat sections of houses with TPO or a roof coating and tie the repair into the rest of the roof so water keeps moving the right way.

Finding the real source of the leak
The stain on your ceiling often isn't under the hole in the roof. Water can run along the deck or a rafter before it drips, sometimes a long way from where it got in. That's why patching the spot right above the stain so often fails. We look at the whole area, find where the water is actually entering, and fix that.
Repair, coat or replace? Honest options
A repair is the right call when the problem is limited and the rest of the roof is in good shape. On a flat section that's aging but still sound, a roof coating can be a cost-effective next step. When damage is spread across the roof or leaks keep coming back, roof replacement may be the better use of your money. You'll get the options in a written, itemized estimate, and you make the call.
Common roof problems in Bakersfield
- Heat and sun. Months of triple-digit heat dry out shingles, sealants and flashing.
- Wind. Strong gusts lift and tear off shingles and can shift tiles.
- Failed flashing. Flashing around walls, chimneys, pipes and vents is a common leak point.
- Ponding water on flat roofs, which finds weak seams and wears out coatings.

Roof repair FAQ
How much does a roof repair cost in Bakersfield?
It depends on what's wrong, how big the area is, the type of roof and how easy it is to reach. A few missing shingles and a leak that has damaged the deck are very different repairs. We'll find the problem and give you a free written, itemized estimate. Call (661) 213-2203.
Can you fix my leak, or do I need a new roof?
Often a repair is enough. If the problems are limited and the rest of the roof is sound, we'll repair it. If damage is spread across the roof or leaks keep coming back, we'll explain why replacement may make more sense, and you decide.
What if my roof is leaking after hours?
Call (661) 213-2203. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, and someone is on call after hours. We tarp roofs in emergencies to help limit damage until a permanent repair can be made.
Do you repair tile roofs?
Yes. We repair cracked, broken and slipped tiles and track down leaks on tile roofs. When the underlayment under the tiles has worn out, we do a tile lift-and-relay: we lift the tiles, replace the underlayment and relay the tiles.
Do you help with insurance claims?
Yes. If your roof was damaged by a storm or a leak, we can help you with your insurance claim. We inspect the roof and give you a written, itemized estimate for the work, and your insurance company decides what is covered.
Do you repair flat sections on houses?
Yes. Many homes have a flat or low-slope section over an addition or patio, and we repair those with TPO or a roof coating. For commercial buildings and flat-roofed businesses, see commercial roof repair.
Can you close up the hole after a swamp cooler comes off?
Yes. We always close up the opening and tie it into the surrounding roof. Whether the old stand or curb comes off depends on the roof and the job, and we check that during the inspection.
