StormBear repairs leaking and damaged shingle and flat roofs — flashing, missing shingles, seams and soft decking — for homes across Chicago and the nearby suburbs. Your next step is to book a free inspection so we can find where the water is getting in.
Every job includes a written warranty with terms in your estimate; see our insurance claim guide for claim questions.
Minor shingle repair: $400 – $750; flashing repair — active leak or damage: $400 – $950. The exact scope depends on the leak location and how much surrounding roofing needs attention.

It’s hard to find a roofing company you can truly trust, but Chris and his team have been great to work with. I highly recommend them and will definitely continue using them for future projects!”Water can travel along roof layers, framing, or other surfaces before becoming visible inside. That is why a repair inspection considers the surrounding roof rather than assuming the stain marks the exact entry point.
A limited repair can make sense when the surrounding shingles remain serviceable. We check the neighboring material and flashing so the proposed repair addresses the affected area rather than leaving an obvious connected problem untouched.
Not necessarily; a missed flashing defect or damaged vent boot can cause repeated symptoms. If deterioration is widespread, we explain why a larger repair or replacement may be more appropriate instead of recommending another isolated patch.
A lasting repair addresses the actual entry point, often flashing, a lifted shingle or a failed vent boot, and ties new material into the surrounding roof so water sheds over it. Surface sealant alone tends to fail as Chicago freeze-thaw cycles open it again.
Painting a stain does not stop water from entering through the roof. Keep a record of when the spot appears and whether it grows after particular weather, because those observations can help explain the problem during the inspection without requiring you to access the roof.
