Finding the real leak
Water travels. A stain over your bedroom can start ten feet away at a pipe boot or a failed piece of step flashing. We check the roof and the attic — and the basement or chimney chase when it matters — so we fix the source instead of the symptom.
Common repairs we handle
- Missing, creased or wind-lifted shingles
- Cracked pipe boots and failed vent flashing
- Chimney leaks — counter flashing, crickets and crown sealing
- Skylight flashing and seal failures
- Valley and wall-to-roof flashing
- Tree-limb punctures and storm damage (with emergency tarping)
- Soft decking around penetrations
When a repair isn't the answer
Some roofs are past the point where repairs make financial sense. If yours is, we'll show you why with photos — and if it isn't, we'll say that too. More than one of our reviews starts with a company that tried to sell a full roof and ends with us fixing a leak for a few hundred dollars.
The repairs Atlanta roofs need most
- Pipe boots. The rubber collar around plumbing vents cracks in the Georgia sun, usually in 8 to 12 years. It's one of the most common leak sources we find - and one of the simplest to fix.
- Step and counter flashing. Where roofs meet walls and chimneys. Caulk is not flashing; we replace the metal so the fix lasts.
- Valleys. Two slopes dump water into one channel, and pine needles and leaves dam it up. Worn valleys are a leading cause of ceiling stains in tree-heavy neighborhoods.
- Wind-lifted and missing shingles. After a storm we re-seal or replace damaged shingles and check the rest of the roof for creased tabs you can't see from the ground.
- Skylights and chimneys. See chimney and skylight leak repair.
- Exposed nails and nail pops. Small, but each one is a hole in your roof.
Repair, or is it time to replace?
We'd rather fix a roof than sell you one. A repair is the right call when the damage is localized, the shingles still have life in them and the deck underneath is sound. Replacement starts to make more sense when the roof is near the end of its rated life, granules are washing into the gutters, leaks are showing up in more than one place, or you're paying for repairs every year.
You'll get our honest recommendation with photos either way. If replacement is the better value, we'll show you why - and if insurance should be paying for storm damage, we'll tell you that too. See roof replacement and storm damage repair.

- We match your shingles as closely as possible and tell you upfront if an exact match isn't available.
- Every repair carries Mosaic's 1-year workmanship warranty.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you get here for a leak?
Same day in most of metro Atlanta — often within 4–6 hours for an active leak. We tarp first if needed to stop further damage.
Can you match my shingles?
Usually. For discontinued shingles we source the closest match available; if a match isn't possible and the damage is from a storm, that can matter for your insurance claim.
Is there a warranty on repairs?
Yes — a one-year workmanship warranty on repairs.
Can you repair a roof the same day?
Often, yes. For active leaks we aim to be on site within 4 to 6 hours and will tarp or make a temporary repair right away. Permanent repairs that need materials are usually scheduled within a few days.
What if you find more damage during the repair?
We stop and show you photos before doing any extra work. Nothing is added to your bill without your approval.
Do you repair metal, tile and flat roofs?
Yes. Along with shingles we repair standing seam and screw-down metal, concrete and clay tile, slate, and commercial flat roofs including TPO, PVC, EPDM and modified bitumen.
What's the difference between your repair and just re-caulking?
Caulk is a temporary patch that breaks down in a few seasons of Georgia sun. We replace the failed part - the boot, the flashing, the shingle - so the repair lasts.
