Can My Roof Be Repaired?

Robert Moore By: Robert Moore

Short answer — yes. But whether a repair is the right call depends on a few things. Let’s start with the most common repairs we do at Green Country Roofing.

Eave repair in progress — shingles pulled back, new galvanized drip edge being installed, DeWalt drill and hammer in gutter, new shingles staged.

Chimney Repairs

Chimneys are one of the most common leak sources we see — usually flashing failure, not the shingles themselves. A typical chimney repair runs $750-$1,200 depending on how much flashing needs to be replaced and whether any decking underneath has gone soft.

Blown-Off Shingles

It is very common in Oklahoma. A small section of blown-off shingles — say 10 to 15 shingles — starts at $500. The bigger question is why they blew off. If it’s wind damage, your homeowner’s insurance is likely to cover it. Get an inspection before you pay out of pocket.

Popped Nails

If nails all not hammered properly that can work loose overtime. The nail holes leak but are easily fixable — don’t ignore them. Catching it early is a simple repair starting at $500. Let it go and that same nail hole becomes a water intrusion point that rots the decking, soaks the insulation, and works its way into your ceiling. At that point you’re not talking about roof repair anymore — you’re talking about interior work that can run into thousands.

Valley Repairs

Usually caused by improper installation. An entire valley section can be replaced without touching the rest of the roof. Valley repairs typically run $500-$900 depending on the length of the valley and what’s underneath.

Pipe Jacks

Pipe jacks break down before the roof does — the rubber collar deteriorates from UV exposure and Oklahoma heat. Prices will vary up on steepness of a roof.  Minimum charges will apply for one pipe jack.

When to Think Twice About a Repair

Storm damage — hail and wind are covered by insurance, so before you pay out of pocket for anything, get an inspection first. You may be entitled to a full replacement at little more than your deductible.

Appearance — older or discontinued shingles won’t match, and a visible patch on the street side of your house affects curb appeal and resale value more than most homeowners expect.Completed shingle repair patch — gray replacement shingles in older red/brown roof, honest color mismatch visible, turbine vent background

Recurring repairs — if you’ve had the same section repaired twice in three years, the roof is telling you something. At that point, get a full replacement number in your hands and do the math. Three $500 repairs over five years are $1,500 you didn’t have to spend.

If you’re not sure whether repairs or a full replacement makes more sense, call Green Country Roofing at (918) 607-7409. We’ll get on the roof, take an honest look, and tell you exactly what we find.
