Residential Roof Repair
Leaks, storm damage, missing shingles, flashing failures — handled fast across Central Florida by a state-certified roofing contractor.
Fast, Honest Residential Roof Repair
If your roof is leaking right now, call (321) 419-1532. Sun State Solar and Roofing offers 24/7 emergency response for active leaks and storm damage across Central Florida — emergency tarping, temporary patching, and permanent repair scheduled fast.
For non-urgent repairs, the same approach: free on-site assessment with photos, written scope, honest answer about whether a repair will hold or whether your roof is far enough into its lifecycle that replacement is the smarter call. We do not patch roofs we know will fail in another season, and we do not push replacements you don't need. Owner-operated by Joe McKenna; state-certified (CCC1334700).

- Final invoicing and certificate of completion
Roof Leak Repair: Finding the Real Source
Leak repair is most of what our roof repair calls involve, and the hard part is rarely the fix. It's finding where the water actually gets in. Water runs along decking and rafters before it shows up as a ceiling stain, so the wet spot inside is often several feet from the entry point on the roof. We trace it from outside and, where there's access, from the attic, and we photograph the source before we touch it.
The usual Central Florida culprits:
- Cracked or dried-out pipe boots, especially once a roof is past 8-12 years
- Flashing pulled away at walls, chimneys, skylights and dormers
- Valleys where leaves and debris hold water against the roof
- Wind-lifted shingles after summer storms, or cracked and slipped tile
- Nail pops and failed sealant around vents and other penetrations
A proper leak repair replaces the failed part (the boot, the flashing, the damaged shingles or tile) instead of smearing sealant over the top and hoping. Leaks around a skylight need the right flashing kit for your roof material; our skylight repair page covers that work.
Roof Damage Repair After a Storm
Florida's summer thunderstorms and hurricane season cause most of the roof damage homeowners call about: lifted or missing shingles, cracked tile, debris impacts, and soaked soffit and fascia. If water is coming into the house, call first. Emergency tarping keeps it out while the claim and the permanent repair get sorted. On storm damage repair that involves insurance, we photograph the damage before the tarp goes on so your adjuster sees what actually happened.
Not sure whether there's damage at all? Lifted shingles can look flat from the street with their seal already broken. A post-storm roof inspection gives you dated photos and a written report to work from. Wondering what your policy will pay? Our guide to whether home insurance will cover a roof leak covers the Florida deadlines and deductibles.
Repair or Replace?
You'll get a straight answer. A roof with plenty of life left and a single problem gets repaired. A roof with leaks in several areas, widespread granule loss or a sagging deck is usually past the point where repairs make sense, and we'll tell you when a roof replacement is the smarter money. Keeping up with annual roof maintenance catches most of these problems while they're small. For flat roofs, membranes and rooftop equipment on business properties, see commercial roof repair.

Most single-spot leak repairs run $300-$1,500, depending on access, roof material and what failed. A pipe boot sits at the low end; flashing around a chimney or wall sits higher. Leaks that turn out to come from several areas can run $2,000-$6,000. Every estimate is free and itemized, with photos of the source.
It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden damage from wind, hail or falling debris is often covered, while wear and tear and old-age leaks usually aren't, and your deductible applies. We document the damage with photos, meet the adjuster on-site, and negotiate the scope so the claim reflects what's actually on the roof.
Move belongings out of the way, catch the water, and keep people out from under any sagging ceiling. Photograph the stain and anything damaged for your insurer. Don't climb onto a wet roof. Then call (321) 419-1532. We offer 24/7 emergency response, tarp to stop the water, and schedule the permanent repair.
