Fixing Damaged Roofs of All Types
Roofing by Curry has been repairing roof leaks in Sarasota and Manatee county since 1986. We have the right repair and maintenance solutions that can keep you from having to replace your roof entirely. Common locations for a roof leak include damaged shingles or tiles, valleys, flashing, vents and chimneys. The exact location of a leak can be tricky to find, so hiring a professional roofing contractor is part of the solution.
We understand roof leaks are upsetting and stressful. Roofs are meant to protect what matters most: your family, pets, and your stuff! If your roof is leaking give us a call and we will have a trained roof consultant out to your home to address the issue as soon as possible.
Did you know leaks can travel? It's true! Where water comes through your ceiling may not be where the leak originates on the roof. This is because water can cling to and travel along boards, trusses, and other structures in your attic. This is why our estimators will often need to check your attic. The attic reveals the wood and water stains that are hidden from the outside. This is why the attic can help us find exactly where the water is getting in so we know where the crew needs to repair. Once they uncover what is causing the leak your estimator will put together a plan and proposal for repairing that issue.
The most common locations of roof leaks are places where water collects, like a valley, or where structures break up the roof system, such as a chimney.

Decades of Expertise in Roof Repairs
If your roof is in dire need of repair, a professional roofer is your best option. We advise against trying to complete repairs by yourself. Roofing can be dangerous and a fall from even the lowest point on your roof can result in injury. Repairs cost much less compared to replacements and a quality repair can increase the time until a replacement is necessary.
We have crews dedicated to roof repairs and making sure your roof preforms perfectly the next time it rains.

Is a Roof Replacement Necessary?
Our repair estimators will take a detailed look at your roof, which will help determine if your roof needs a replacement instead of a repair. If a replacement is necessary, we can get you an estimate right on the spot! There is no waiting on someone else to come out and look at it.
However, we want your roof to last as long as it can. We will never try to sell you on a roof replacement if you don't need it!

What are "ghost leaks"?
"Ghost leaks" refer to leaks that appear once and never again, or rarely. They can happen during severe weather, so it can be hard to know if your roof sustained damage or if it was a ghost leak.
The cause of these is simple and may offer you some peace of mind. Here is what they are and what causes them:
The appearance of ghost leaks are fundamental to the way a roof system works:
- A roof is designed to shed water.
- An attic needs ventilation, either through soffit (under the overhangs) or through roof vents.
When it rains normally, water comes down at a mostly vertical angle and is shed from the roof.
However, during severe weather, wind pushes water at high angles and splashes water into the vents designed for normal weather conditions.
Normal Weather
Severe Weather
During a thunderstorm or hurricane these winds can be strong enough and last long enough for water to enter your attic.
Roof Vents & Air Flow
Here you can see an example of how air flow works in your attic! Every vent is designed to shed water, with air ventilation hidden or underneath. However, with enough wind and water, rain can be splashed into the vents, causing a ghost leak.
Now I Understand Ghost Leaks... Why Does it Matter?
Well these leaks are important to know about because when severe weather does hit, often roofers become overwhelmed with requests for roof repairs. This can lead to longer wait times for appointments with our estimators and roof repair technicians.
The Silver Lining & How to Know if You Have One
The silver lining of ghost leaks is that they may have only occurred due to the temporary extreme conditions your roof experienced. While only our trained roof consultants can check and know for sure, one thing homeowners can do while they wait for their appointment is continue to monitor the leak.
If your roof leaked once during a hurricane and then not again throughout more rain, then you might have had a ghost leak!
Now you can rest easier knowing your roof system is performing well in normal conditions until our team comes out to confirm.
Your Roof is a System!
Roofs are complex systems designed to protect your home from everything outside. Replacing a roof is the most expensive home renovation--so our goal when repairing your roof is to target the trouble areas and resolve them with as little disruption to the rest of the roof as possible. This will help keep your roof protecting your home for many years to come!
