Finding the Source of the Leak
Water travels. A leak that shows up over your kitchen might actually be coming from a flashing detail on the other side of the roof. That is why we start with a thorough inspection — roof surface, flashing, valleys, penetrations, attic, and decking. We document what we find, show you photos, and explain what is causing the leak before we recommend a fix. No guessing, no shortcuts. That is how we make sure the repair actually solves the problem.

Common Causes of Roof Leaks
Most leaks come from a handful of common failure points: aging or missing shingles, failed pipe boots and chimney flashing, clogged or misdirected valleys, ice dams in winter, and storm damage from hail or wind. Each has a different repair approach. For localized damage, a targeted repair can add years of service to your existing roof. For widespread failure on an older roof, a full replacement is the right call. We explain the trade-offs so you can make the decision with real information.
Storm Damage & Insurance Claims
When a storm damages your roof, time matters. Water gets worse fast, and insurance claims have deadlines. We inspect storm-damaged roofs, document findings with photos and detailed notes, and work directly with insurance adjusters when needed. Our goal is a clean, fully covered claim with a repair or replacement that restores your roof. If you just had a major storm and you are worried about your roof, call us for a free inspection.

Homeowners and business owners across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware trust Greenawalt Roofing Company for honest pricing, quality workmanship, and service you can count on. Here is what some of our customers have to say.
The company communicated very well. They did what they said they were going to do and did it well. We were impressed with how hard the roofers worked and how polite they were. We were happy with the process and are pleased with our roof.
These guys are the best. Competitive pricing and amazing customer service. Everyone was incredibly friendly. The guys that were on the roof were fantastic; fast, efficient, and terrific workmanship. I would definitely recommend Greenawalt.
I worried for years about budgeting for a new roof and was pleasantly surprised when Greenawalt’s estimate was a couple thousand under what I anticipated. They installed a good quality roof in the right color for the price quoted. In addition, it was completed in one day. They do quality work and left no evidence they were on the property other than a great roof. Extremely pleased and would refer them to anyone.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ceiling has a water stain — how urgent is this?
Any active leak is urgent. Even a small drip causes damage to decking, insulation, and drywall over time, and it can lead to mold. Call us as soon as possible for an inspection.
How do you find the source of a roof leak?
We inspect the roof surface, flashing details, valleys, penetrations, attic, and decking. Because water travels, the leak often starts in a different location than where it shows up inside. We document everything with photos before recommending a repair.
Can you repair my roof, or does it need full replacement?
It depends on the roof’s age, overall condition, and how widespread the damage is. Localized leaks on a healthy roof can be repaired cost-effectively. Widespread failure on an older roof usually warrants replacement. We give you an honest recommendation.
How much does roof leak repair cost?
Simple repairs are relatively affordable. Complex repairs involving decking replacement, flashing, or multiple areas cost more. We provide free, detailed estimates before any work.
Can you repair a leak in the rain?
We can install emergency tarps in almost any condition to stop active water damage, but a permanent repair usually requires dry weather. We prioritize storm damage calls and stabilize the situation quickly.
How long does a roof repair take?
Most repairs are completed in a few hours to a single day. We give you a clear timeline before starting work.
Do you help with insurance claims?
Yes. We document storm damage with photos and detailed notes, and we work directly with insurance adjusters to support your claim.
What causes most roof leaks?
The most common causes are aging or missing shingles, failed pipe boots or chimney flashing, clogged valleys, ice dams in winter, and storm damage.
Can a roof leak cause structural damage?
Yes. Prolonged leaks rot decking and framing, ruin insulation, and can damage drywall and flooring below. Catching and repairing leaks early saves significant money.
Is it safe to ignore a small leak?
No. Small leaks rarely stay small, and hidden water damage often becomes a mold problem. Get any active leak inspected quickly.
Will my repair come with a warranty?
Yes. All of our repair work comes with a workmanship guarantee, and manufacturer warranties apply when we install new materials.
Can you repair leaks around chimneys and skylights?
Yes. These are two of the most common leak points and require careful flashing work. We handle both.
How do I prevent future roof leaks?
Annual inspections, cleaning gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and addressing minor issues early are the best prevention. We offer inspection services if you want a trained eye on your roof once a year.
Is Greenawalt Roofing Company licensed and insured?
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured in Pennsylvania.
