Stop the water. Find the source. Repair the roof system.

SAFETY FIRST

Keep away from wet ceilings, light fixtures and electrical equipment. Place a container only if the area is safe, move valuables and call an electrician or emergency services when electricity or ceiling collapse is a concern.

What you may notice

Visible clues help define the inspection—not the final diagnosis.

Use these examples to describe what you see from a safe location. A photo cannot confirm every roof layer, hidden moisture, cause or repairability.

Before the crew arrives

Five first steps for the homeowner.

Do only what can be completed safely from the ground or a stable interior area.

  1. 01

    Protect people first and avoid wet electrical areas.

  2. 02

    Move belongings and document the interior location.

  3. 03

    Note when the leak starts: wind-driven rain, steady rain or after the storm.

  4. 04

    Do not puncture or walk under a bulging ceiling.

  5. 05

    Request a roof inspection as soon as conditions permit.

How Majestic handles this specific problem

A documented path from concern to completed roof.

The exact scope depends on safe access and what the inspection confirms. These five stages show how this particular roof condition is evaluated and repaired.

01

Interior reference point

We record the stain or drip location and accessible attic evidence.

02

Exterior tracing

We inspect the roof path above and upslope, including valleys, flashing, shingles and penetrations.

03

Moisture-control plan

If safe and necessary, temporary protection is separated from the permanent repair.

04

Repair recommendation

We explain the observed source, affected components, proposed work and what cannot be confirmed until removal.

05

Verification

After authorized work, we document completion and explain what to monitor during future rain.

What happens when we arrive

Six checkpoints from arrival through closeout.

Majestic documents the roof as a construction system, explains choices before work begins and keeps insurance coverage decisions separate from contractor work.

01

Arrival, interview and safety check

The technician confirms what happened, when the condition was first noticed, whether water is entering now and which interior rooms are affected. Before using a ladder, Majestic checks weather, electrical, tree, structural and fall hazards and explains any access limitation.

02

Interior and ground-level reference

When relevant and accessible, the team starts at the stain, drip or impacted room, reviews the attic from a safe access point and then walks the exterior perimeter. This creates a reference line between the interior evidence and the roof area above it.

03

Roof-system inspection

When safe access is available, Majestic reviews affected slopes plus shingles, ridge and hip caps, valleys, flashing, pipe boots, vents, skylights, roof edges, gutters, fascia and soffit. Wide photographs show location; detail photographs show the condition.

04

Measurements and factual documentation

The record identifies visible conditions, roof geometry, affected components and estimated quantities. Storm-related observations are separated from age, maintenance, installation details and hidden conditions that cannot be confirmed without authorized removal.

05

Options explained before authorization

Majestic explains immediate protection, localized repair, section rebuild and replacement paths when applicable. The homeowner receives a written roofing path and can choose an out-of-pocket project or use the factual documents in a claim they manage with their carrier.

06

Construction, verification and closeout

After a written scope is approved, materials and schedule are confirmed. Majestic performs the authorized roofing work, controls debris and cleanup, photographs completion and provides the applicable invoice, warranty and project-closeout documents.

Repair options

The inspection determines which option can be built reliably.

Final materials, quantities, code requirements and hidden conditions are confirmed in the written scope.

Shingle repair

Replace torn, missing or failed shingles and restore adjacent water-shedding details when the surrounding roof remains serviceable.

Flashing or penetration repair

Replace or rebuild failed flashing, boots, vents or related underlayment instead of relying only on surface sealant.

Valley or transition repair

Open the affected transition, inspect the substrate and rebuild the layered drainage path.

Replacement

Consider a larger replacement when multiple leaks, brittle materials, widespread failure or incompatible old repairs prevent a dependable localized solution.
