Chris & Greyson Buster, Owners · About us

Repairs we handle every week

Roof leaks

We trace the leak to its source. Most leaks are not directly above the stain on your ceiling.

Shingle damage

Missing, lifted or creased shingles from wind, matched as closely as possible to your existing roof.

Flashing and chimneys

Re-flashing chimneys, walls and skylights, where a lot of leaks start.

Pipe boots and vents

Cracked rubber boots and failed vent seals, a common and inexpensive fix.

Valleys

Worn or poorly installed valleys that channel water under the shingles.

Storm damage

Hail and wind damage, documented for insurance when it is a covered loss.

How a repair works with us

You call or text, and Chris or Greyson gets back to you within 15 minutes during business hours. We inspect the roof and attic, photograph the problem, and show you what we found. You get a scope-based price for the fix. If the roof is at the end of its life, we show you the photos and explain why, and the decision stays yours.

Active leak? Call or text 512-777-1751. If water is coming in, we will help you get it under control first. What to do during an emergency roof leak.

What roof repair costs

Most repairs are priced on the actual scope: how much material, how much labor, and how hard the area is to reach. A pipe boot or a few shingles is a small job. Re-flashing a chimney or rebuilding a valley takes more. You get the price before any work starts. For typical ranges, see roof leak repair costs and average roof repair costs.

Questions homeowners ask us

Will you repair a roof you did not install?

Yes. Most of the repairs we do are on roofs someone else installed.

My ceiling has a water stain. Is that a repair?

Usually, yes. A stain means water got in somewhere, and the source is often a few feet away from the stain. We find it and photograph it.

Will you try to sell me a new roof?

No. Repair-first is our rule. If replacement is the better option, we show you the photos and you decide.

Can storm damage go through insurance?

Sometimes. If hail or wind caused it, we document the damage so you can decide whether a claim makes sense. Storm damage and insurance help.

How fast can you come out?

We call back within 15 minutes during business hours and set the inspection at a time that works for you, sooner for active leaks.
