| When a roof begins to leak, it may need to be replaced. However, on an otherwise sturdy roof, a repair of a small area may be all that is needed. | | |
| Typical costs: | - Repairing a 10x10-foot square of asphalt shingles, considered one square of roofing, runs $100-$350 using a roofing company. Repairing a few missing or broken asphalt shingles through a handyman service runs $95-$127.
- Reparing wooden shingles using a roofing company for a 10x10-foot square costs $210-$1,000. Repairing a couple of broken or missing shingles using a handyman can run $135-$175.
- Homeowners can take care of individual broken or torn asphalt or wooden shingles, according to Better Homes and Gardens.
What should be included: | - Roof repair jobs should include the installation of new shingles, sealing with a roof cement product and cleanup of any old shingles and debris.
Additional costs: | - Flashing is the metal or vinyl stripping that acts either as a sealed barrier between the roofing material and chimneys or skylights, or when the roof slopes into a valley where the flashing material helps water run off into a gutter system.
- When the vinyl or metal flashing that seals the edge of a skylight to the roofing material tears or is pulled away from the skylight, a leak will appear and costs $300-$500 to repair.
- Valley roof flashing, which is used anywhere on a roof where slopes create a valley where water drains off, runs $15-$25 per linear foot to repair.
- Faulty flashing around a chimney is priced $200-$500.
Discounts: | - Some roof repair companies offer senior citizen discounts of 10-30%.
Shopping for a roof repair: | - While roofing companies generally handle larger jobs, some services will take on small repairs involving only a couple of shingles. These smaller jobs may also be tackled by the homeowner or a handyman.
- The National Roofers Contractors Association offers an online locator for members across the country.

You guy are pretty far off with most of your costs. Not mention the 35% shingle increase in the past two months and gas costs rising. |

| Roofing cost per square |
| Amount: $300.00 |
| Posted by: All Around in Every Where USA, IL. | Posted: September 4th, 2009 01:09PM |
| Contractor: Licensed Roofer |
The prices in this place are prehistoric! A Licensed Roofing contractor gets way more than 350 per square. You have to consider a few factors to. How many layers of old shingles need to be removed, remember each layer = 1 whole roof! What kind of shingle is to be applied 15 year, 30year, 3 tab shingles, architectual shingles, metal shingles?
What is the pitch of the roof? What is the height of the roof? All these factors can add up to more money. Yes you can get a hack with no license and uses illegal aliens who get paid next to nothing for their labor, but when your roof leaks or the shingle start to blow off due to there incompetence, good luck trying to get the warranty to hold up! The first thing they will ask for is the contractor who applied the roof and the license number of the contractor! If you don't have it then your warranty is void! |

emily young of woodland nc stated that she had a roof replacement done bt norbert torres and she states he saved her 3000.00 on her roof, the reason he can do jobs for less is because he hires men off craigslist in the area ne is working and promises men 150.00 per day, when the job is done he will tell you I will mail you A check, I worked for him for 3 days and he sent me A check for 140.00, he is A scam and a thief and if i ever come across him again xxxxxxxx |

| Contractor: A to Z (Chad) |
After the recent weather that came through Oklahoma City in June of 2010 I was having a horrible leak. I called A to Z and spoke with Chad and he was fixing the leak later that day, he told me that a chimney was not properly flashed, and after being taken advantage of by another contractor that had put the roof on two years before I was glad to see some professionalism, in a roof that stood by his word. Since then the roof has not leaked and a few days after the repair Chad called me back to make sure I was completely satisfied. Thanks Chad (615) 347-0838.
Sincerely,
Warm and dry |

Shingles were blown off after storm. Doc removed shingles in damaged area. He informed me that the previous roofer had not installed felt paper. Doc installed felt to affected area, Replaced damaged shingles with new ones. There was a spot on the ceiling that was stained from the water damage. Doc treated the stain. I thought he was cheaper than most and very professional. His number is 865-771-3637... Thanks Doc |

We had a leak between the garage and the rest of the house. The reason was the flashing was not making contact very well and it had to be fixed and resealed. Also the flashing above two bay windows needed to be resealed. One of the windows actually needed a piece of metal put on top. They also patched-resealed a few spots above the kitchen area. |

| Contractor: Prime Seamless Gutters and Roofing |
I called this company for a new Gutter. The contractor told me of a recent hail storm in my area, so he proceeded to look at my roof. I asked him for an estimate and ask how many squares were up on the roof and he told me, he would work directly with my insurance company and he didn't even measure my totaled roof.
The contractor had a lot of fancy forms loaded on his IPad, I was impressed and he asked me to sign his form so that he could talk directly with my adjustor, this made sense as I was real busy but I proceeded to tell him I would be getting estimates from other companies as my agent told me to do so.
Several days later, the adjustor came out the contractor met with him and I found out my roof was 30 sq. My husband asked how much his estimate was he said what ever the insurance is paying plus your deductible, paid to me.
This is where our meeting went sour...he told me I signed a contract.BEWARE of strong arm contractors, charging 30% whether you use him or not. |

| Contractor: Vince Koach |
This guy is no good..he never called back when contacted after having roof leaked heavily along side of bay skylight window's living rooms. The only reason my husband hired him was because his wife employed by same company at my husbands office & he just barely pass his licensing..I cannot recommend him! I felt better when Douglas Cotey Roofing came in to evaluate the mess this guy created!rnThis will cost us additional $900 yaiiiips..rnBuyer beware of this problem of newly licensed person with possibly no experience and messing up your skylight with metal sheet. Not allowing for proper drainage...now, will have to be redone!rnThere, I said my peace! |
