Roof Repair and Leak Detection in Winter Park, FL
A stain on the ceiling is where the water came out, not where it came in. We follow it uphill until we find the opening, and we fix that.

Summary
Fixing the cause, not the stain
Water travels along rafters and under shingle before it drips, so the wet spot inside can sit several feet from the opening. Finding it takes a look at the attic, the flashing and the penetrations, not a guess from the ground.
Most leaks we see around Winter Park come from a short list: pipe boots that have cracked, flashing that has dried out at a wall or chimney, nail pops, damaged shingle and valleys clogged with oak debris.
After a storm we also document damage with dated photographs. Those help with a claim, though whether the claim is paid is a matter between you and your carrier.
Why us
What you get from USA Roofing
Source found first
We trace the water back to the opening before any sealant is used.
Small repairs welcome
A single boot or a short run of flashing is a normal call for us.
Storm documentation
Dated photographs and a written condition report for your carrier.
Dry-in on request
A leaking roof can be covered while a longer repair is arranged.
The usual causes
Most leaks trace to one of these.
- Cracked or split pipe boots
- Dried-out flashing at chimneys, walls and skylights
- Nail pops and exposed fasteners
- Cracked, missing or lifted shingle
- Broken or slipped tile
- Clogged valleys and overflowing gutters
After a storm
A storm leaves marks that are easy to miss from the ground.
- Lifted edge shingle and loosened ridge caps
- Dents and cracks from falling limbs
- Displaced tile and damaged flashing
- Water in the attic or stains that appear later
- Tarp-and-dry-in coverage until a repair is made
- Photographs with dates for your records
When repair stops making sense
We would rather tell you than keep patching.
- Several leaks across a roof near the end of its life
- Brittle shingle that breaks when handled
- Decking that is soft from long exposure
- Repairs that would cost close to a replacement
Pay for the roof over time
Do not let the budget decide the date
A leak or an insurer's letter sets the schedule, and the money should not hold up the work. Our financing starts a new roof with nothing down.
- No credit check required
- $0 down with 100% financing
- Secured and unsecured financing
- 10, 20 and 30 year terms
- No pre-payment penalty
Terms vary with approved credit and project size. Ask us for the exact numbers on your roof.
The monthly payment for a 15-year home improvement installment loan of $10,000 with an APR of 10.99% would be $113. No down payment required. Not all loan products will be available to all partners or all consumers.
Questions
Roof Repair: your questions
Can you find a leak that only shows in heavy rain?
Often, yes. We check the attic and the likely entry points, such as boots, flashing and valleys, and in some cases test the area with water to reproduce the leak under controlled conditions.
Will a repair match my old shingle?
Close, though old shingle has faded and weathered. We say how close the match will be before the work, and we place new pieces where they will be least visible from the street.
Do you tarp a roof?
Yes. We can dry in a damaged roof to stop further water entering while a repair or a replacement is planned, and we document the damage with dated photographs before we cover it.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
We document the damage and give you a written report with dated photographs. Whether the claim is paid is a matter between you and your carrier, and we do not negotiate with them for you.
Is a repair estimate free?
Yes. The visit and the written estimate are free and bind you to nothing, and if the roof does not need a repair we say so rather than looking for something to fix.
