Patch Job vs. Professional Roof Repair

The first option is a quick patch job. Let’s say you have a leaking roof and need an immediate fix. You might watch a few YouTube tutorials, apply some tar over the leak, and call it a day—or hire a handyman to do it for you. In about 10-20 minutes, you’re done, but several issues remain:

– The root cause of the problem hasn’t been addressed.
– It’s based on guesswork, with tar applied randomly in hopes of solving the issue.
– Even if it works for a while, it’s only a temporary fix—within a year, the tar will dry out, crack, and you’ll be dealing with the same problem again.

The second option is to have a professional do a full roof repair. While it may cost a little more than a patch job, this provides a permanent and quality solution that will outlast the rest of your roof.

At Rhino Building Solutions, our goal is to remove the affected area and replace it with new roofing materials, ensuring you won’t experience another leak in that spot. If necessary, we will replace flashing and any damaged substrates. Whether we need to tear off the area or not, we guarantee that the problem will be fixed. Additionally, we offer warranties on most of our repairs—a benefit that many other companies don’t provide—and, more importantly, we stand by our work. We treat your home as if it were our own.

If you’re looking for a quick, temporary fix, a handyman might be the right choice. But if you want a lasting, high-quality repair, call us at 626-587-3920 or fill out this form to schedule an inspection.

Please note that we have a minimum service charge of $1,200, which covers the cost of two or more crew members for the service. If your repair costs less than $1,200, our inspector will inform you of this and provide recommendations during the assessment.
