Why Roofs Leak In Hollywood
Hollywood enjoys sun and sea breezes, but the climate is tough on a roof. Knowing what causes leaks helps you act fast and avoid repeat issues.
Heat and UV dry out shingles, sealants, and tile underlayment
Wind uplift pulls at edges, corners, and ridge caps
Wind driven rain pushes water under laps and around penetrations
Gutters and ponding send water under the edge when drains clog
Foot traffic from satellite installs or service visits creates punctures
Common roof types in Hollywood
Asphalt shingle is affordable and quick to repair, but heat ages the surface
Tile roofs look great and can handle wind when fastened correctly, yet underlayment age is a frequent leak source
Metal roofs shed water well and perform in wind, but joints and fasteners must be right
Low slope sections on porches or additions need specific membranes and solid drainage
What To Do First When You See A Leak
Take simple, safe steps. You will save time, money, and stress.
Protect the interior
Place a bucket, move items, and cover valuables. A small towel inside the bucket softens drips and reduces splatter.Document the problem
Snap photos of stains, ceiling bubbles, or drips. Add a note with the time, weather, and wind direction if you can.Open your attic if it is safe
Look for dark stains, damp insulation, or daylight at the deck. Do not climb where footing is unsafe.Stay off the roof
Wet, steep, or tile surfaces are dangerous. Leave ladder work to a pro.Call a professional
A quick inspection finds the true entry point. Water often travels under the surface and shows up far from the source.
For friendly help now, call 954-995-9985 and request a same day or 24 hour inspection.
Roof Repair Versus Replacement In Plain English
You do not need jargon to make a good decision. Use these simple rules.
Repair often makes sense when
Damage is localized such as a cracked pipe boot, missing shingles, or one flashing detail
The roof is younger and the field looks sound
A branch strike or wind event created one obvious issue
Replacement or partial reroof may be smarter when
Leaks appear in several areas or after most storms
Shingles are brittle or curling, granules fill the gutters, or nail pops are widespread
Tile underlayment is at end of life and multiple slips or breaks keep happening
Low slope sections have recurring ponding and seams that fail again and again
Timing tip
If storm season is close, stabilize first with a secure dry in or targeted repair. Then schedule the larger fix with a clear plan and photos.
Where Leaks Start And How Pros Fix Them
Flashings and penetrations
Problem: cracked pipe boots, dried sealant, loose collars
Fix: replace boot or collar, re flash chimney saddles, seal laps correctly
Valleys and transitions
Problem: debris traps, heavy water flow, driven rain at overlaps
Fix: clean, re underlay the valley, correct overlaps, and re flash where needed
Edges and gutters
Problem: water backs under the edge when gutters clog or wind lifts the perimeter
Fix: reset drip edge, re fasten to code, and restore gutter flow so water exits fast
Shingle fields
Problem: missing tabs, nail pops, heat blisters
Fix: replace damaged pieces to match, re nail and seal, improve ventilation if heat from the attic is cooking the roof
Tile roofs
Problem: slipped or broken tiles and aged underlayment
Fix: replace tiles, reset fasteners or clips, repair or replace underlayment sections, and re secure ridge and hip lines
Low slope membrane areas
Problem: ponding and seam failure near parapets or door thresholds
Fix: prep and prime, reinforce seams, upgrade scuppers or drains to move water off the roof

Hollywood Homeowner FAQ
Do I need to be home for the inspection
It helps. You can show where and when you saw water. If not, we send photos and go over them by phone.
Can you match my shingles or tiles
Usually yes. Older roofs may show minor color variation due to sun fade.
Why is my tile roof leaking when the tiles look fine
Often the underlayment has aged out under intact tiles. Photos from the inspection will make this clear.
The same corner leaks after every big wind. Why
Edges and corners take the most uplift. The fix is a secure refastening and correct laps with the right sealants.
My porch roof keeps leaking
Low slope areas need the correct membrane and better water flow. We combine a proper repair with drainage improvements to stop repeat issues.
How fast can you get here
For urgent cases, inspections are typically same day or within 24 hours.
