A “Little” Leak Is Never Little

Stop Small Leaks Before They Become Major Bills.

Lake-effect storms, freeze-thaw swings, and the Midwest sun keep Lake County roofs under year-round stress. One loose shingle or hairline flashing crack can let water track six feet sideways before it shows up as a ceiling stain. Behind the paint, wet insulation collapses R-value, mold seeds in forty-eight hours, and framing lumber begins to soften. The longer that hidden moisture lingers, the faster repair bills multiply.

Cittrix treats every drip as an urgent structural threat. A call today launches a same-day drone and infrared scan that maps moisture without lifting a single shingle. Within twenty-four hours you receive a narrated video quote that locks price, parts, and timeline for thirty days. Our written seventy-two-hour repair pledge puts certified crews on your driveway before the damage spreads. Each fix ends with side-by-side thermal images proving the area is dry and a lifetime transferable workmanship warranty that follows the home to its next owner.

Drone & Thermal Leak Audit

Roof Repair Warning Signs

Red Flags Over Your Head.

  • Ceiling Spots or Dark Streaks

    Water has passed insulation and drywall, inviting mold and structural rot.

  • Loose, Curled, or Missing Shingles

    Wind-driven rain bypasses underlayment and destroys deck plywood fast.

  • Granules Crowding Gutters or Downspouts

    Exposed shingle mats bake in UV, speeding leaks and shortening roof life.

  • Flashing Gaps at Chimneys, Skylights, Vents

    Open seams funnel water directly to framing around roof cut-outs.

  • Soft or “Spongy” Decking Underfoot

    Saturated OSB loses strength and can no longer grip fasteners securely.

  • Ice Dams Along Eaves

    Melt-freeze cycles force water under shingles and rot fascia boards.

  • Moss or Algae Mats

    Vegetation traps moisture against shingles and accelerates decay.

  • Energy Bills Up 15 % or More

    Wet insulation loses R-value, making HVAC run longer and harder.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

  • How long does a typical repair take?

    The overall project includes inspection, quoting, parts sourcing, and final paperwork, but the hands-on roof work itself is typically completed in a single full work shift. When hidden deck damage or complex detailing is discovered, the crew may return the next morning to finish, yet the area is always sealed and weather-tight before they leave for the day.

  • Can you match the color of my existing shingles?

    In most cases, yes. We carry current architectural lines from the major brands and maintain a library of discontinued colors for blending. When an exact match no longer exists, we feather replacement shingles across multiple rows so the variation disappears.

  • Will a repair compromise my manufacturer warranty?

    No. We follow each brand’s installation manual, photograph every stage, and register the repair with the manufacturer when required. This keeps your material warranty fully intact.

  • What if hidden damage shows up once the shingles are off?

    We pause, document the discovery with photos, and review options and revised timelines with you before any additional work proceeds – no surprise invoices.

  • Is financing available for repairs?

    Yes. We offer short-term, no-interest plans on qualifying projects, plus same-as-cash options that let you spread payments without long-term debt.

  • Do I need to be home on repair day?

    Only for a brief pre-start walk-through and a final sign-off. Our crew lead can keep you updated by text with progress photos if you need to step out.

  • How quickly can you schedule the repair after I approve the quote?

    Crews typically mobilise within three business days; if weather delays occur, your job automatically moves to the next clear slot on the calendar.
