Finding the leak, not just the stain
A water stain on the ceiling is rarely directly under the hole. Water runs along sheathing and rafters before it drips, so a good roof repair starts with tracing it back — most often to flashing around a chimney, vent pipe or skylight, a lifted or missing shingle, or an ice dam that pushed water up under the shingles at the eaves.
Repairs that match the rest of the roof
Small repairs are done with shingles matched as closely as possible, fastened and sealed the way the manufacturer intends. Where the sheathing underneath has gone soft, it gets replaced rather than covered over. Flashing gets rebuilt or re-sealed so the fix lasts longer than one season.
Re-roofing cabins, garages and outbuildings
Smaller roofs — a hunting cabin, a detached garage, a shed or a new lean-to — are a good fit for a hands-on crew. That can mean stripping to the deck, replacing bad sheathing, new underlayment, drip edge and shingles, and clean-up of the nails and debris afterwards.
After a storm
Wind and falling limbs can lift shingles, crush eaves and tear gutters loose. Steve's Handyman Services offers 24-hour emergency service for exactly that — call 989-858-6732 to get the opening covered and the damage documented, then schedule the proper repair.
