|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic inspection and leak trace | Free | No charge — including the photos of whatever we find |
| Pipe boot or vent flashing replacement | $450–$950 | The single most common residential leak source |
| Chimney or wall step-flashing repair | $800–$2,200 | Full re-flash costs more than a patch and lasts materially longer |
| Isolated shingle section replacement | $500–$1,800 | Colour match on aged shingles is approximate, never exact |
| Valley repair | $900–$2,600 | Open metal valleys outlast woven on this climate's debris load |
