Tile Roof Repair
Specialized tile roof repair services addressing leaks, cracked tiles, and flashing issues. Our technicians use manufacturer-certified materials and ice-and-water shield underlayment to ensure lasting repairs. Each job includes photo documentation and a 2-year 'No Leak Warranty' guaranteeing complete leak resolution for clay, concrete, and Spanish tile roofing systems.
Skylight Repair
Comprehensive skylight repair focusing on flashing replacement and waterproofing. We remove old roofing materials to inspect deck conditions, replace damaged components, and install premium sealing systems. Our process maintains roof integrity while extending skylight lifespan with upgraded ice-and-water shield protection around curb-mounted installations.
Dry Rot Repair
Professional dry rot remediation targeting fascia boards, eave trim, and structural components. We replace damaged wood with pressure-treated materials, reinforce connections, and apply protective coatings. Annual inspections help prevent recurrence while maintaining aesthetic consistency with existing architectural elements in residential properties.
Roof Inspection
Detailed roof inspections combining interior ceiling checks with exterior tile-by-tile evaluations. Our certified inspectors use thermal imaging and moisture testing to identify hidden damage. Reports include high-resolution photos documenting problem areas, repair recommendations, and maintenance timelines tailored to tile roof systems.

Report
Jesse/South Country roofing are GREAT! We have used their services twice and Jesse has done a fantastic job. We had a leak and he came out, literally, right before the recent HUGE rainfall we had and his work help up beautifully. Not a drop in the house. And he's a great guy, on top of it. And honest. Don't look further. Great company, great guy and he does great work!
