About Pillar Roofing
Chimney Roof Leak
The first photo shows the leak, a small gap in the shingles on the side of the chimney flashing, allowing water to travel into the home and appear on the ceiling around the fireplace.
Instead of covering the symptom with another layer of caulk, Pillar Roofing opened the entire area to trace the leak to its source. We removed the shingles and failed waterproofing, repaired the underlying roof assembly, rebuilt and resealed the chimney base, and then carefully wove in matching shingles from the same manufacturer. The finished repair seamlessly blends with the existing roof, correcting the issue from the deck up.
About Pillar Roofing
low-slope Roofs: NO Shingles
The homeowners called Pillar Roofing after water began leaking through the shingles and reaching their newly remodeled patio and its beautiful wood ceiling.
Our investigation revealed that the contractor who installed the patio roof did not apply the proper transition detail between the old roof line and the new patio cover roof, allowing water to travel beneath the plywood.
The slope was also far too low for shingles, so reinstalling them would only have repeated the problem.
Pillar Roofing removed the unsuitable roof covering, protected every transition with ice-and-water shield, and completed the patio cover with a low-slope roofing system carefully integrated into the surrounding roof slopes.
A continuous, watertight result.
About Pillar Roofing
Is Your Attic Breathing?
If your attic seems extremely hot, it may not be breathing properly. Using a temperature gun and a small smoke dispenser, we can identify heat buildup, air leaks, drafts, and blocked pathways that affect your attic and its ventilation.
Usually, we find clogged soffit vents, insulation blocking airflow, or not enough soffit vents installed. Roof Vent Issues: either you don't have enough roof ventilation, or the builder installed only passive roof vents like box vents, turtle vents, and slant-backs.
The goal is to move air from the bottom of your attic to the top, where the exhaust pushes it out. "Heat Gain" in your attic starts early as the sun rises. One proactive option to move hot air up and out is a solar attic fan.

Your Roof's Health Matters
Just like a doctor helps patients stay healthy through routine checkups and preventative care, Pillar Roof Care™ helps Homeowners extend the life of their roofing system with our Roof Tune-Up.
Most homeowners don’t think about their roof until something goes wrong, and by then, a small problem has usually become an expensive one.
The Pillar RoofCare™ Tune-Up is a proactive way to catch minor issues early, extend your roof’s lifespan, and avoid problems before they become major issues.
The service begins with a thorough visual inspection of your roof, both from the ground and by climbing onto the roof and walking each slope. If your roof system is too steep to walk, we will launch our small Drone to take high quality photos of each roof slope, fixture, and chimney flashings.
Other items we look for are visible signs of damage, such as:
Broken Shingles,
Cracked or Damaged Flashing,
Clogged Gutters, and Soft Decking.
Shingle Repair and Replacement
Loose or damaged shingles are repaired or replaced to prevent leaks and further damage. This step is crucial in maintaining the roof’s integrity and ensuring it can effectively protect your home.
Flashing and Sealant Inspection
Flashing is inspected for signs of corrosion, damage, or improper installation. Any issues are addressed to ensure a watertight seal around roof penetrations like chimneys, vents, and skylights. Sealants are also checked and reapplied.
Gutter Cleaning and Repair
Gutters and downspouts are cleaned to ensure proper water drainage, which prevents water damage to your roof and home’s foundation. Any damages to the gutters are repaired to maintain their functionality.
Debris Removal and Cleaning
Debris, moss, algae, and other growths are removed from the roof surface. This not only improves the roof’s appearance but also prevents moisture retention and potential damage.
How Tune-Up Needs Differ by Roof Type
The material your roof is made from affects how often it needs a tune-up, what the process focuses on is making sure the roof fixtures and flashings are waterproofed and not cracking open.
Note: Asphalt Shingles are the most common roofing material in the DFW Metropolis. These roof systems also need the most maintenance or frequent attention. Our region here in Texas produces high heat and UV exposure that causes shingles to lose granules, curl, and crack faster than in cooler climates.
Home Roof Repair FAQs
Common questions we hear from homeowners about roof leaks, storm damage, pricing, and what to expect when you work with Pillar Roofing.
- How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?
We look at the age of the roof, the extent of damage, leak history, and how much of the system is affected. Many roofs can be repaired without replacing the whole thing. We give honest recommendations, explain your options clearly, and provide a free estimate so you can decide with confidence.
- What are the most common signs of roof damage?
Watch for water stains on ceilings, missing or lifted shingles, cracked flashing, granule loss, sagging areas, or visible storm damage. Small problems can turn into bigger repairs fast. If you notice any of these signs, we recommend scheduling a roof inspection as soon as possible.
- Can you repair a roof leak quickly?
Yes. Roof leaks should be handled fast to prevent damage to insulation, decking, ceilings, and walls. We respond quickly, find the source of the leak, and make the needed roof repairs with care. Our goal is to stop the problem early and protect your home from further damage.
- Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof repair?
It depends on the cause of the damage and your policy coverage. Storm damage is often handled differently than wear and tear or age-related issues. We can inspect the roof, document visible damage, and help you understand what to discuss with your insurance company before moving forward.
- How much does home roof repair cost?
Roof repair costs depend on the type of roofing material, the size of the damaged area, roof access, and how severe the problem is. We keep the process simple by offering free estimates and clear recommendations, so you know what to expect before any work begins.
