Our Roof Repair Services in Wellesley

Flashing Repair

Flashing failures are the most common call we get from Wellesley’s pre-WWII housing stock. On a 1920s Colonial on Abbott Road, we repaired a flashing failure where the original copper step flashing had fatigued at a dormer valley. The owner wanted to keep the slate roof, so we matched the copper with new lead-coated copper from our stock, cleaned the surrounding slate, and added a zinc strip along the ridge to prevent moss recurrence on the shaded north slope. Complex valley intersections and dormer joints on multi-plane rooflines can’t be patched with caulk and hope - they need full re-flashing with matching materials. We stock copper, lead-coated copper, and modern alternatives, and we’ll tell you honestly when original material is worth preserving versus when a modern solution will outlast it.

Valley Repair

Wellesley’s steep-pitched Colonials and Tudors create valley intersections that channel massive water volume during spring thaws and summer downpours. When the woven shingles or metal valley lining fails, water penetrates directly into the roof structure. We replace valley linings with ice-and-water shield extending at least 24 inches inside the interior wall line - state code, but on Wellesley’s wide overhangs that translates to substantial additional underlayment coverage. Most valley repairs in Wellesley run $1,200-$2,400 and are completed in a single day.

Shingle Replacement

Not every damaged shingle means a new roof. On 1950s Colonials in Cliff Estates and similar neighborhoods, we often replace wind-lifted or cracked asphalt shingles in isolated sections, matching color and manufacturer where possible. We’re authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and four other leading brands, so we can source matching material rather than forcing a mismatched patch. Typical section repairs run $450-$1,100. We’ll tell you straight when repair stops making sense and replacement becomes the square deal.

Leak Repair

Leak calls spike in Wellesley every March and April when freeze-thaw cycling exposes weaknesses. Ice dam damage at eaves is particularly common on older homes whose attic insulation and ventilation predate modern building science - the leak is the symptom, but the cause often requires both roof repair and attic retrofit. We trace water intrusion to its source, repair the immediate damage, and document any attic work needed to prevent recurrence. Simple leak repairs start around $650; ice dam-related repairs with attic ventilation work typically run $1,400-$2,800.

Flat Roof Patch

Wellesley’s flat roofs are concentrated on additions, dormers, and occasional mid-century modern homes. We patch EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen systems, and we’ll match the repair method to your existing membrane. Most flat patches run $550-$1,200 and carry the same 90-Day Done Right Promise as our full replacements.

Vent Boot Repair

Cracked rubber vent boots are a cheap fix that too many contractors use to sell unnecessary roof replacements. We replace boots with proper lead or high-grade rubber alternatives, seal the surrounding shingles, and move on. Most vent boot repairs in Wellesley run $350-$650.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellesley

We carry stock for GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning - the three brands we see most often on Wellesley’s asphalt shingle roofs - plus Atlas and Tamko for specialty matches. For slate and tile work, we source through Boral and specialized New England suppliers. Our warehouse in the area keeps common repair materials on hand, which means most Wellesley repairs don’t wait on shipping. When your 1920s Tudor needs matching slate that hasn’t been quarried in forty years, we know the salvage yards and custom cutters who can replicate it. No substitutions without your knowledge, no “close enough” color matches.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Wellesley Homes

• Original slate tiles cracking from freeze-thaw cycles. Wellesley’s interior Norfolk County location means no coastal moderation - temperatures swing hard, and 80-100 year old slate fatigues. Matching replacement tiles often don’t exist, requiring custom cutting from salvage slate or conversion to synthetic slate that preserves architectural character.
• Ice dam damage at eaves on pre-modern homes. Attic insulation and ventilation that predates building science creates the perfect conditions for ice dams. The repair isn’t just the leak - it’s understanding why warm air hits cold sheathing and fixing the pathway.
• Moss and lichen colonization on shaded north and east slopes. Wellesley’s dense, protected tree canopy keeps these slopes in near-permanent shade. Our crew routinely installs zinc strips or applies biocide treatment as a standard part of every roof repair in town - not an upsell, just necessary maintenance here.
• Copper and lead-coated copper flashing corrosion at complex joints. Multi-plane rooflines with multiple dormers create intersection points where original flashing has simply reached end of service life. Patching isn’t possible - full re-flashing with matching material is the only repair that lasts.
