Roof Repair — Fix the Problem Before It Fixes Your House

What We Repair and How We Do It

A Roof repair, isn’t just slapping on a shingle and calling it a day. A real repair starts with understanding where the problem actually comes from.

Water that seeps into a house rarely enters exactly where it stains the ceiling. It could come from a poorly installed flashing, a cracked caulking joint around a chimney, a missing shingle, or even ice buildup along the roof edge—what we call ice dams.

Common repairs we handle:

• Replacement of Damaged, missing, or lifted asphalt shingles
• Repair or replacement of flashing around chimneys, skylights, and wall junctions
• Ice dam correction and water drainage issues
• Ridge cap redo and inadequate roof ventilation
• Sealing and caulking of high-risk areas
• Localized sheathing repair (plywood / OSB) after water infiltration

We always start with a full visual inspection—not just the visible area, but the entire roof. Sometimes the real problem is two feet away from where the leak shows up inside.

How to Know If You Need a Repair

You don’t need to wait for a puddle in your attic to take action. Several signs can alert you well before the damage becomes major.

Outside, keep an eye out for:

• One or more shingles missing or lifted after a storm
• Black granules building up in your gutters
• Moss or algae on a section of the roof
• Rusted, lifted, or poorly sealed flashing around the chimney
• Visible sagging or warping on the roof surface

Inside, it’s often more telling:

• Yellowish or brown stains on the ceiling, especially after rain
• Musty smell in the attic or upper rooms
• Paint bubbling or plaster swelling for no apparent reason
• Water marks around skylights or ventilation ducts

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to act. Every week you wait—especially before fall or winter—can turn a small repair into a major job.

Why Roof Repair Is a Skill All Its Own

A lot of people think anyone can do a roof repair. That’s often where the trouble starts.

A poorly done repair is often worse than no repair at all. Water seeps through the new joints, the added shingle doesn’t match the rest in thickness or angle, and six months later you’re calling someone else to undo what was done wrong.

At Deluxe Group, our roofers have over 15 years of hands-on experience in residential roofing. We know how to read a roof, spot vulnerable areas, anticipate what will fail in the coming months, and repair for the long haul—not just patch things up to buy time.

Always Our Own Team

We don’t send a subcontractor we called the day before. It’s our own crew that shows up at your door—the same people you met during the inspection. That matters for the quality of the work and for your peace of mind.

If a targeted repair is enough, we’ll tell you straight. We don’t push for a full replacement when it’s not necessary. Our reputation is built on honest recommendations, not hard sells.

Frequently asked questions, roof repair

How much does a roof repair cost in Quebec?

It varies a lot depending on the nature of the problem. A simple repair of a few shingles can range between $200 and $600. Flashing work around a chimney or replacing a section of decking can easily reach $800 to $2,500. Only an inspection can establish a fair price.

Can you repair a roof in winter?

For emergencies or one-off repairs, yes, with the right materials suited to cold temperatures. However, some membrane or shingle work requires minimum temperatures for proper adhesion. We assess each situation on a case-by-case basis.

My roof is 18 years old—is it better to repair or replace?

It depends on the overall condition of the roof, the extent of the damage, and the quality of the original materials. An honest inspection will give you a clear answer. If the damage is isolated and the rest is in good shape, a repair is often the right call. If it's widespread, we'll tell you straight.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes, no cost and no obligation. We get up there, we take a look, we explain things to you. You decide what comes next.

How long does a roof repair take?

Most residential repairs are completed in half a day to a full day. More complex jobs—replacing multiple flashings or decking repairs—can take up to two days.
