Roof repair by an Emerald Coast roofing company
Florida roofing contractor since 2010. Licensed, insured and bonded. GAF Certified.
A small roof problem turns into a big one when water gets in. LJB Construction & Roofing finds what’s failing and fixes it, so your roof keeps doing its job.
What we Fix
Residential roof repair services
Most roof repair calls start where the roof meets something else, like a vent, a chimney or a wall. These are the roofing services our team handles:
Flashing around vents, chimneys, and walls that has pulled loose or cracked
Lifted or missing shingles after high wind
Wind-damaged sections of a shingle, metal or tile roof
Cracked or slipped tiles
Loose fasteners and open seams on metal roofs
Leaks, traced back to where the water gets in
We fix the cause, not just the stain on the ceiling. Every job includes a check under the damaged area.
Repair or Replace
Roofing repairs by roof type
Each roof type fails in its own way, so roof repair looks different on each one. Our team repairs shingle, metal and tile roofs with roofing materials suited to each type.
Shingle roofing
Shingle roof repair usually starts after high wind. Wind lifts shingles and breaks the seal that holds them down. Once a shingle lifts, water can run under it. We replace damaged shingles, reseal the area and fix the flashing around it.
Metal roofing
Metal roof repair usually starts at the fasteners and edges. Salt air near the Gulf speeds up wear on exposed parts. We tighten or replace fasteners, reseal seams and repair flashing.
Tile roofing
Tile roof repair starts with tiles that crack or slip out of place, and the underlayment beneath them does most of the waterproofing. We replace broken tiles and check the underlayment in the damaged area before we close it back up.

Repair or Replace
When a repair is enough for your home
A repair is usually the right call when:
The damage is in one area, not spread across the roof
The rest of the roof is in good shape for its age
The deck under the damage is solid
It’s the first problem in that spot, not a leak that keeps coming back
If the problems are spread out or keep returning, a repair only buys time. Our roof replacement page lists the signs to look for.
In Florida, the size of a repair also matters. The 25% rule can require more of the roof to meet current code on older roofs.
Our roofers will tell you whether your home needs a repair or more after we see it in person.
Our Process
How our roofing team works
If a recent storm damaged your roof, here’s how we work:
1
Call or request an estimate.
Tell us what you’re seeing: a stain, a missing shingle, a drip.
2
We inspect in person
We look at the damaged area and the rest of the roof, the same way we handle roof inspections.
3
You get a written estimate
It lists what we’ll fix and how.
4
We do the repair
The work is done to the Florida Building Code
Florida code
Do you need a permit?
Small jobs often don’t need a permit in Florida, but the rule depends on where you live. In Fort Walton Beach, for example, replacing a few shingles doesn’t need one, but a repair of 100 square feet or more likely does. Other cities and counties set their own limits.
We check with your local building office and pull one when the job needs it.

Price
What affects the price
Every roof repair is priced after we see the roof. These are the things that move the price:
You get a written estimate before any work starts.
Roof type. Shingle, metal, and tile each require different materials and labor.
How far the damage goes. Water often spreads past the spot you can see.
The deck underneath. Soft or rotted decking adds to the job.
Access and pitch. Steep or high roofs take more setup and safety gear.
Roof age. Older roofing materials can be harder to match.
After a storm or after hours
Roof damage from storms doesn’t wait for business hours. Our phone line is open 24 hours a day. Call (850) 588-3131 and tell us what happened.

FAQ
Roofing FAQ
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a roof?
A repair costs less up front. When damage is spread across the roof or keeps coming back, the repairs add up and a replacement may make more sense. An inspection tells you which one fits your roof.
Is patching a roof worth it?
Yes, when the damage is in one spot and the rest of the roof is sound. A patch on a worn-out roof only delays the next leak.
What does roof repair include?
Finding the cause, removing the damaged material, checking the deck underneath and putting in new material. It also includes new flashing or sealant where the roof needs it.
Can a handyman repair a roof in Florida?
No, not unless they hold a roofing license. Florida law includes roof repair in the work of a licensed roofing contractor (Florida Statute 489.105). You can check any roofer’s license on the DBPR website.
Do I need a permit to repair my roof in Florida?
It depends on the size of the repair and where you live. Small repairs, like replacing a few shingles, often don’t need one. Larger repairs usually do. LJB checks with your local building office and pulls the permit when one is needed.
