Roof repairs shouldn't be complicated or stressful. At EHL Roofing, we've streamlined the repair process using drone technology and AI-powered estimates to give you accurate quotes in hours, not days—and we complete most repairs within 3-5 business days of approval.

We don't upsell unnecessary work, and we don't under-repair only to have you call us back in 6 months.
Serving 25 cities across the Bay Area—from Daly City to San Jose, Pacifica to Fremont—we've repaired over 2,000 roofs in the past 5 years. We understand the unique challenges of Bay Area roofing: coastal fog moisture in Pacifica, intense sun exposure in South Bay, wind patterns in the Peninsula, and seismic considerations throughout the region.
Every repair includes a free drone inspection (value $150) to ensure we identify all issues, not just obvious ones. We provide a detailed report with photos and a transparent quote breaking down labor, materials, and any additional work needed. No surprises, no hidden fees—just honest roofing.

Common Issues We Fix
We repair all types of roof damage. Here are the most common issues Bay Area homeowners face:
Roof Leaks
HIGHWater entering through damaged shingles, flashing, or underlayment. Most common repair request.
Symptoms:
- Water stains on ceiling or walls
- Dripping water during or after rain
- Musty odor in attic or upper floors
- Mold or mildew growth indoors
- Paint bubbling or peeling near leak
How We Help:
We use drone inspection to find the exact leak source (often different from where water appears inside). Repair includes fixing cause, replacing damaged underlayment, and sealing properly. Average repair: $800-$1,800.
Missing or Blown-Off Shingles
HIGHBay Area windstorms (especially on coast and ridgelines) blow off poorly-secured shingles.
Symptoms:
- Visible gaps in roof from ground
- Shingles found in yard or gutter after windstorm
- Exposed black underlayment visible
- Immediate leak after wind event
How We Help:
Replace missing shingles with color-matched materials. Check surrounding shingles for loose nails. Re-secure if needed. Most windstorm repairs: $500-$1,200 depending on area affected.
Damaged Flashing
HIGHMetal flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys deteriorates or separates over time.
Symptoms:
- Rust visible on flashing
- Flashing pulling away from roof or chimney
- Water stains near chimney or skylight
- Caulk or tar patches from previous DIY attempts
- Flashing bent or dented
How We Help:
Remove old flashing completely and install new properly-sized, properly-secured flashing. Use step flashing (not continuous) for best weather-tightness. Chimney flashing repairs: $600-$1,400.
Cracked or Curled Shingles
MEDIUMAge, UV exposure, and temperature cycles cause shingles to crack, curl, or become brittle.
Symptoms:
- Shingle edges curling upward
- Visible cracks in shingle surface
- Shingles appear dry and brittle
- Granule loss exposing asphalt
- Roof age over 15 years
How We Help:
Replace damaged shingles individually if limited area. For widespread curling (20%+ of roof), recommend replacement. Selective replacement: $400-$1,000.
Valley Leaks
HIGHRoof valleys channel water and are high-stress areas prone to failure.
Symptoms:
- Water stains along valley line inside home
- Visible rust or holes in valley metal
- Debris accumulation in valley
- Previous patch attempts with tar
- Valley flashing pulling away
How We Help:
Completely re-line valley with new flashing. Option for open valley (visible metal) or closed valley (shingles woven). Open valleys last longer in Bay Area climate. Valley repair: $800-$1,800 per valley.
Vent Boot Deterioration
MEDIUMRubber boots around plumbing vents crack and fail, causing leaks.
Symptoms:
- Water stain on ceiling near bathroom
- Cracked rubber visible on roof
- Vent boot brittle to touch
- Roof age over 10 years
- Recent hot summer accelerated aging
How We Help:
Replace entire vent boot assembly, not just rubber part. Properly seal with high-quality roofing cement. Most vent repairs: $250-$500 per vent.
Storm Damage
HIGHHail (rare in Bay Area), falling branches, or flying debris during storms.
Symptoms:
- Visible dents or punctures in shingles
- Branch or debris on roof
- Sudden leak after storm event
- Gutters damaged
- Neighbors also reporting damage
How We Help:
Same-day emergency response to prevent further water damage. Temporary tarp installation, then permanent repair within 3-5 days. Assist with insurance documentation. Average: $1,200-$3,500.
Skylight Leaks
HIGHFlashing around skylights fails more often than skylights themselves.
Symptoms:
- Water dripping from skylight frame
- Condensation between skylight panes
- Water stains around skylight opening
- Skylight flashing rusted or separated
- Previous caulk repairs failed
How We Help:
Remove skylight, install new step flashing properly, reinstall skylight with new gaskets. Most skylight leaks are flashing, not skylight itself. Repair: $800-$1,600.
Moss & Algae Damage
MEDIUMBay Area's coastal moisture promotes moss growth which lifts shingles and causes leaks.
Symptoms:
- Green moss or black algae visible
- Shingles lifted by moss roots
- Fuzzy texture on north-facing slopes
- Nearby trees create shade and moisture
- Gutters full of moss debris
How We Help:
Remove moss professionally (pressure washing damages shingles). Treat with zinc strips to prevent regrowth. Replace lifted shingles. Install zinc strips for prevention. Treatment + repair: $600-$1,400.
Improper Previous Repairs
MEDIUMDIY or unlicensed contractor repairs that created more problems than they solved.
Symptoms:
- Excessive tar or caulk applications
- Mismatched shingles
- Nails visible on surface
- Shingles installed incorrectly
- Problem persists after "repair"
How We Help:
Remove improper repair completely. Repair correctly using manufacturer specs and building codes. Document issues for potential legal action against previous contractor. Re-repair cost: varies widely.
