How a Roof Repair Works at RCRS
Most repairs are a fraction of the cost of a replacement and a fraction of the disruption. Here is how RCRS handles a typical leak, missing-shingle, or flashing repair from first call to final invoice.
- 1
Phone triage & dispatch
Same dayYou describe the symptom (active leak, missing shingles, stain on a ceiling). Our office decides whether a same-day tarp, a next-day repair visit, or a full inspection is the right next step.
- 2
On-site inspection & quote
Same day - 2 business daysA technician walks the roof, identifies the actual point of failure (it is rarely where the ceiling stain is), and gives you a written repair quote on the spot.
- 3
Repair scheduling
1 - 7 days (weather-permitting)Small repairs often happen the same day as the inspection. Larger repairs that need ordered material (matching shingles, flashing kit, pipe boot) are scheduled within a week.
- 4
Repair work
2 - 6 hours on-site (typical)Most residential repairs are completed in a single visit by a 2-person crew. Tarps come off, shingles or flashing get replaced, sealant gets re-applied at all penetrations in the affected zone.
- 5
Water test (when appropriate)
Same day as repairFor repairs driven by an active interior leak, we hose-test the repaired area before leaving so you know the leak is actually solved — not just relocated.
- 6
Cleanup & 1-year repair warranty
Same dayMagnetic nail sweep, debris haul-off, and a written 1-year warranty on the specific repair. If the leak comes back at the repair location, we come back at no charge.
