Why Roof Damage Can't Wait
A Small Leak Becomes a $15,000 Problem
In the Pacific Northwest, water doesn't just damage shingles — it works its way into the underlayment, the decking, and eventually the framing and insulation. The Eastside averages 37 inches of rain per year. A missing shingle or cracked flashing in October can turn into mold behind drywall, a sagging ceiling, and a full structural repair by spring.
Most roof leaks start small and invisible. You won't notice a problem until you see a water stain on the ceiling, feel a soft spot underfoot in the attic, or find granules collecting in the gutters. These are all signs that your roof's protective barrier has already been compromised.
C & A Roofing specializes in finding the source of the leak — not just patching the symptom — and fixing it permanently with GAF and CertainTeed materials matched to your existing roof.
Leak Detection & Repair
We trace active leaks to their source using systematic inspection. Most leaks originate at flashing points, valleys, or pipe boots — not where the stain appears on the ceiling.
Storm & Wind Damage
Missing shingles, lifted tabs, broken ridge caps, exposed underlayment. Same-day emergency response. We work directly with your insurance company.
Flashing Repair
Chimney, sidewall, pipe boot, and valley flashing — the most common failure points on Eastside roofs. Custom-bent aluminum, not pre-formed stock pieces.
Emergency Tarping
Roof actively exposed? We get a tarp on it within hours to stop further interior damage while we schedule the full repair.
Repair vs. Replacement — Our Honest Take
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is limited to a specific area, a targeted repair is almost always the right call. We match the shingle color and profile to your existing roof and inspect the surrounding area to catch anything else.
If the damage is widespread, the decking feels soft, or we find multiple failure points during inspection, we'll be honest — a full replacement may be the better long-term investment. We never push a replacement when a repair will do.
Materials We Use for Repairs
We repair with the same premium materials we use on full replacements: GAF Timberline HDZ and CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment, Grace Ice & Water Shield, and custom-bent aluminum flashing.
We don't use builder-grade materials for repairs. If you're paying for a fix, it should last.
“We had a leak that two other companies couldn't find. C & A diagnosed it in 20 minutes — bad chimney flashing. Fixed the same afternoon. Should have called them first.”
