Roof Leak Detection & Repair
We trace the water path from the stain back to the entry point — cracked tile, failed boot, open seam or wind-lifted shingle — and repair the source, not just the symptom.
Palm Beach County · Roofing Repairs
Dr Handyman Service repairs tile, shingle and low-slope roofs from Boca Raton to Jupiter. We trace the water path, show you photos of the actual defect, and quote the repair in writing before anything is touched.

Dispatch triages live leaks ahead of routine work and gives you a real window, not a vague promise.
You approve a line-item scope with materials and access notes before a single tile is lifted.
Technicians routed across coastal and western Palm Beach County communities every week.
Roofing repair services
We trace the water path from the stain back to the entry point — cracked tile, failed boot, open seam or wind-lifted shingle — and repair the source, not just the symptom.
Broken, slipped and cracked barrel or flat concrete tile replaced with the closest available match, re-bedded and re-pointed so the field sheds water correctly.
Missing, curled and storm-lifted asphalt shingles replaced, nailing patterns corrected, and ridge caps re-secured for South Florida wind exposure.
Chimney, wall, valley and skylight flashing plus plumbing vent boots — the most common leak sources on a Palm Beach County roof — resealed or replaced.
Modified bitumen and rolled roofing patched at blisters, seams and ponding areas on additions, porches and Florida rooms.
Post-storm inspection, temporary dry-in, debris removal and permanent repair, with clear photo documentation of what we found and what we fixed.
Rotted fascia, sagging soffit panels and detached gutters repaired so roof runoff leaves the structure instead of sitting against it.
Seasonal tune-ups before hurricane season: sealant checks, debris clearing, fastener tightening and a written condition summary.

How it works
Describe the leak, stain or storm damage. The Assistant collects the address, access notes and photos, then routes your request to our Palm Beach County dispatcher.
Dispatch confirms a realistic window for your area and sends the technician's name. If we cannot cover the request, you are told directly instead of being left waiting.
We inspect the roof surface, penetrations and, where accessible, the attic side. You get photos of the actual defect before any work is approved.
A line-item scope with materials, access requirements and price. Repair-only options are offered when a full replacement is not warranted.
Work is completed with matched materials where available, magnets run for stray fasteners, and the site left clean.
Water testing where practical, after-photos, and a follow-up check after the next significant rainfall.

FAQs
Repairs are the focus of this service. Many Palm Beach County leaks come from a handful of tiles, a failed vent boot or open flashing, and those are repairable. If an inspection shows the underlayment is at end of life, we say so plainly rather than selling a patch that will not hold.
Scheduling is handled by our central dispatcher, so timing depends on live technician availability in your city. Active leaks are prioritized. The Assistant shows you the real status of your request — it never confirms a visit that has not been accepted.
Concrete and clay tile, architectural and three-tab asphalt shingle, metal panel details, and low-slope modified bitumen on additions and porches — the roof systems common across Palm Beach County housing stock.
We try to match profile and color from salvage and current stock. Discontinued tiles from older neighborhoods cannot always be matched exactly; when that happens we show you the closest option before installing anything.
Often yes — water can travel along battens, trusses or ductwork before it appears indoors. That is why we trace the path rather than repairing directly above the stain. It can also be an AC condensate or plumbing issue, and we will tell you if that is what we find.
Yes. After a named storm, demand across the county is high and windows get longer. We provide temporary dry-in where it is safe to do so and schedule the permanent repair afterward.
Permitting requirements depend on the municipality and the scope of the repair; we tell you up front whether your job needs one. We provide photo documentation and a written scope you can submit to your insurer, but we do not act as a public adjuster.
