Roof Repair

A roof leak doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Bakeris Roofing provides rapid-response roof repair for homeowners across the Des Moines metro. From a single missing shingle to complex multi-layer leaks, we diagnose the real issue and fix it.

Many roofing companies push full replacements when a targeted repair would solve the problem. We believe in honest assessments. If your roof has years of life left, we'll tell you and repair only what's needed.

Our repair technicians carry the most common materials on their trucks, so many repairs can be completed same-day. For complex issues, we'll provide a detailed scope and timeline before starting any work.

Most repairs we run on Des Moines homes fall into a handful of buckets. Flashing failures around chimneys and skylights. Missing shingles after a wind event. Pipe boot cracks that finally let water through after years of UV exposure. Ice dam leaks at the eaves on north-facing slopes during long winters. Each has a real fix, and most of them take a few hours, not days.

A general rule we use: if your roof is under 12 years old and structurally sound, a targeted repair almost always beats a full replacement. The shingles still have plenty of granule retention, the deck is solid, and isolated damage doesn't compromise the system. Past 18-20 years on an asphalt roof, repairs become temporary patches on a roof that's already at end of life. We'll tell you which side of that line you're on.

Storm-driven damage and wear-and-tear are different problems with different solutions. If a hail or wind event hit your neighborhood in the last 12 months, an insurance claim is often the right path and we manage that process for you. If the leak traces back to age, weather cycling, or a manufacturer defect, those are repair-only situations and we handle them on a fixed scope.

Repairs come with a 1-year workmanship warranty. If our fix fails because of how we installed it, we come back free. If it fails because the rest of the roof finally gave out, we'll credit the repair cost toward a replacement. That's our way of saying we stand behind the work without trapping you on a roof that's past its prime.
