The Scoop on Roof Repair
The hard truth is that leaks and weather damage can turn into much bigger problems down the road, so time is of the essence if you have a problem with your roof. The good news is — most roof repairs are simple and inexpensive if addressed immediately.
If you suspect an issue with your roof, you need to get it checked ASAP by a roofer who will do a repair (many won’t) because you could save thousands of dollars if your roof issue can be resolved with a fix rather than a replacement.
The three most common reasons for roof repairs are:
- Leaks
- Storm damage
- Improper workmanship and/or installation
Though some of those issues may be obvious to homeowners, many go unnoticed until the damage has already been done. Many problems with subpar roofing work are not immediately apparent and can be challenging to identify, even for seasoned professionals. This is where experience comes in handy. Having dealt with all kinds of roof issues/repairs, we'd love to put our expertise to work for you.
We’ll never try to sell you a new roof if all you need is a repair. We will do our best to find and use the same or closest matching type(s) of materials used on your current roof so the repairs blend in as much as possible. An untrained eye (aka: anyone who isn’t a roofer) likely won’t even be able to tell where the repair was done. Your roof will look great, and if you can act fast to get your roof repaired before too much damage is done, you can extend the life of your current roof and save thousands by dodging a full roof replacement.

They did a terrific job repairing my roof.
I had another company tell me that they would only replace the whole roof. Pedro thoroughly inspected my roof, showing me pictures of the areas that needed attention and quickly provided a quote… They completed the repairs and cleaned up after themselves. Pedro says I can get several more years on replacing the complete roof! I am extremely happy with [them] and highly recommend them.Michael K. -
Happy Roofing was the only one that would give me a “live” estimate
I am very pleased with Happy Roofing. After calling several roofers to give me an estimate to repair my roof, others told me they couldn’t come out for less than a few thousand dollars. I certainly didn’t need to pay that price for a small repair. Happy Roofing inspected my roof and gave a fair quote for the work to be performed. I am recommending them to my friends and neighbors.Thank you, Happy Roofing! -
Happy Roofing did the fix and everything is great now!
Had Happy Roofing come out and inspect my roof when I had water dripping from a ceiling fan in my living room. Pedro came out and was able to identify the issue quickly and explained the cause and what needed to happen to fix the issue. I would definitely recommend anyone needing help with roofing issues reach out to Happy Roofing for help.

FAQs
In many cases, yes. If you just need new flashing then there’s no sense in ripping off the entire roof. If a few shingles have been blown off in a storm, we can replace those shingles without much trouble. The best way to get the full life span out of your roof is to get regular roof inspections so you catch problems while they’re still cheap and easy to fix.
The three most common reasons for roof repairs around Naperville, IL are (1) leaks, (2) storm damage, and (3) subpar workmanship. Roofs are being exposed to the elements every day, and eventually, that takes a toll. Heat, rain, wind, cold, ice, and snow are very damaging to a roof system. If your roof is leaking, it’s time for a repair. By the time a leak is noticed, it’s likely already caused a lot of damage internally. That’s why it’s important to identify roof leaks early and make repairs immediately once they have been discovered.
It depends on the size of the problem, the extent of the problem, the size of the roof, and how far the damage has progressed. A typical roof repair costs anywhere from $400 to $3,000+ depending on the scope of work. The lower end covers a simple repair such as replacing a couple of blown-off shingles, a single pipe boot, etc. The higher end of the pricing spectrum would be for something more in-depth, such as replacing a whole roof slope, flashings, or damaged decking (plywood). If it costs much more than about $3,000, we’ll usually recommend a roof replacement, which often is less expensive in the long run. Keep in mind that no roof lasts forever, and so it’s a question of when (not if) you need to replace it, and how much you save on repairs by doing it sooner rather than later.
Roof repairs include fixing leaks, swapping out shingles, replacing flashing, and fixing ventilation and insulation issues. Although asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing, we also handle repairs on cedar shake, synthetic slate, clay and concrete tile, and metal roofs.
