Why Roofs Leak in Hollywood (and How to Spot Trouble Early)
Hollywood’s climate is beautiful—and tough on a roof.
Heat & UV: South Florida sun dries out shingles, sealants, and tile underlayment.
Wind uplift: Gusts attack edges, corners, and ridge caps first.
Wind-driven rain: Water pushes under laps and flashings during storms.
Ponding & gutters: Clogged gutters or low areas push water back under the edge.
Foot traffic: Satellite installs and service visits can cause hidden punctures.
Early warning signs
Brown rings or fresh damp spots on ceilings/walls
Granules in gutters; curled, cracked, or missing shingles
Slipped/broken tiles; loose ridge or hip trim
Musty attic smell; daylight through decking; damp insulation
If you notice any of these, take photos and call 954-995-9985 for a friendly, fast check.
What to Do First (Before Anyone Gets on the Roof)
Protect the inside. Move items, put a bucket under drips, and cover what you can.
Collect simple details. When did you see water? What was the wind/rain like? Snap a few photos.
Stay safe. Avoid walking a wet or steep roof—and never walk tile if you’re not trained.
Call a pro. A quick inspection prevents small issues from spreading.

Roof Repair vs. Replacement—Plain-English Rules of Thumb
Repair is likely enough when
The damage is localized (one vent boot, a few shingles/tiles, a single flashing).
The roof is younger or in generally good shape.
You have a clear, storm-related issue (branch impact, lifted edge).
Replacement or partial reroof may be smarter when
Leaks show up in multiple areas or after most storms.
Shingles are brittle/curling; tile underlayment is at end-of-life (common around 15–25 years).
Decking is soft/sagging, or the membrane on a low-slope section is failing in several places.
Timing tip: If peak storm season is here, we’ll stabilize first (dry-in, targeted repairs) and map the longer fix with clear photos and a realistic schedule.
Where Home Roofs Fail—and the Right Fix for Each
1) Flashings & penetrations (vents, pipes, chimneys)
Problem: Dried sealant, cracked boots, loose collars.
Fix: New boot/collar, proper flashing refit, sealed laps.
2) Valleys & transitions
Problem: Debris traps and wind-driven rain overwhelm laps.
Fix: Clean and re-underlay valley, correct overlaps, re-flash as needed.
3) Edges, rakes, and eaves
Problem: Uplift and backed-up gutters force water under the edge.
Fix: Reset drip edge, re-fasten per code, ensure proper underlayment and gutter flow.
4) Shingle fields
Problem: Missing tabs, nail pops, heat blisters.
Fix: Replace to match, re-nail/seal, address ventilation if heat is cooking from below.
5) Tile roofs
Problem: Slipped/broken tiles; aging underlayment.
Fix: Replace tiles, reset fasteners/clips, repair or replace underlayment sections; re-secure ridge/hip.
6) Low-slope (porches/additions)
Problem: Ponding and seam failure.
Fix: Prep/prime, correct patch with reinforced seams; improve drainage to prevent repeat leaks.

Materials 101: What Works in Hollywood (Pros & Watch-Outs)
Asphalt shingle
Pros: Budget-friendly, many styles, quick repairs.
Watch: Heat aging at edges; wind-lift at corners; granule loss in gutters.
Tile (concrete/clay)
Pros: Strong in wind when installed to code; great curb appeal.
Watch: Underlayment lifespan is the first failure point; broken/slipped tiles after heavy weather.
Metal
Pros: Sheds water fast; reflects heat; excellent wind performance when fastened right.
Watch: Incorrect fasteners or fatigued sealant at laps can cause leaks later.
Low-slope membranes (on additions/porches)
Pros: Clean look; good for tricky shapes.
Watch: Ponding water shortens life; seams must be done right the first time.
If you’re unsure what you have, that’s okay—we’ll identify it on site and explain options in plain language.
Storm-Season Playbook: Simple Steps That Prevent Big Bills
Before the storms
Trim branches away from the roof.
Clean gutters/downspouts so water exits freely.
Photograph your roof and ceilings as a baseline.
Secure outdoor items that can become wind-borne.
After the storms
Walk the property (from the ground) to spot missing shingles/tiles or gutter damage.
Check ceilings for new stains or damp drywall.
Take photos and call 954-995-9985 for an inspection and a clear plan.
Maintenance That Really Matters (and Takes Minutes)
Twice a year (before and after storm season):
Clear gutters, check downspouts.
Look for cracked pipe boots or lifted edges.
Peek in the attic for damp insulation or dark stains.
After heavy wind:
Ground-check for missing shingles/tiles, branches on the roof, or bent gutters.
Don’t walk tile or steep slopes—call us for a safe look.
Keep a simple “roof file.” Save all photos and invoices. This history speeds up decisions and any future claims.
FAQ: Roof Repair Hollywood FL (Homeowner Edition)
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It helps. You can show where/when you saw water. If not, we’ll send photos and talk you through them by phone.
Can you match shingles or tiles?
Usually, yes. Expect slight color variation on older roofs—sun fade is real.
My tile roof looks fine. Why is it leaking?
Often the underlayment is failing beneath those intact tiles. We’ll show you photos so you can see the truth.
The same spot leaks after big winds. Why?
Edges and corners take the most uplift. We’ll re-fasten per code and address laps and sealants the right way.
The flat section always leaks. What gives?
Likely drainage or seam issues. The fix is a proper repair plus a plan to move water off that section.
