Most leaks are not the field of the roof. They are penetrations and transitions - step flashing at walls, pipe boots, valleys, chimney counterflashing. A roof can look sound and still leak at a boot that has gone brittle.
Storm claims turn on documentation. Photographed hail bruising and lifted shingles, recorded before any tarping, is the difference between a paid claim and a denial.
Freeze-thaw cycling is the governing condition. Water that gets into masonry, grout or a roof detail expands when it freezes and widens the gap it entered through.
What the job includes
- Full tear-off and replacement
- Leak diagnosis and targeted repair
- Flashing, valley and boot replacement
- Decking repair and ventilation
- Metal and low-slope systems
- Storm damage documentation for claims

Rainfall is substantial: about 41 inches a year, 12 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Where heavy-rain days are common, the quote should name the underlayment and the valley and flashing details, which is where most leaks start.
Snowfall averages about 16 inches a year.2,3 Even light snow sits on a roof for days, so the eave membrane and gutter condition still belong on the inspection list. Summers bring about 35 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Owner-occupied homes in Columbia are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1996 against 1991.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
