What we fix

Ten Kinds of Roof Work

Start with what you can see. A stain on a ceiling and a slipped tile lead to very different conversations, and only one of them is urgent.

Photographs and a written scope. If the honest answer is that it can wait another season, you will get that answer.

Four places account for most South Florida roof leaks. None of them is the middle of the roof.

The four failures behind most of it

Nearly every leak we are called to is one of these. None of them is in the middle of the roof.

where the roof meets a wall or a chimney

Flashing

Where the roof meets a wall or a chimney. The most common failure on a South Florida house.

wind gets under the leading edge

Edges and attachment

Wind gets under a leading edge and works. Uplift can break attachment without moving anything visible.

the seam opens, not the panel

Seams and penetrations

Every hole in a roof was a decision to accept risk. Boots and seams age faster than the surface around them.

water still standing 48 hrs laterthe deck is sagging, or the drain is not there

Standing water

On a low-slope roof, water still sitting 48 hours after rain is the clearest diagnostic there is.

Why a general contractor

By the time most people call, the roof has been leaking for a while, and the roof is no longer the whole job. Soaked sheathing, a compromised truss end, wet insulation and a ceiling to rebuild are all work a roofing-only crew has to hand to somebody else. Romco is a licensed Florida general contractor across all 67 counties, so it stays one contract and one schedule.
