Greenville requires a permit on all roofing work — no threshold, no small-job exemption. And its two published fee documents disagree with each other, so we ring the city rather than guessing what your repair will cost.

Finding where water actually enters rather than patching under the stain. Water tracks along decking, rafters and ductwork before it drops, so the entry point and the ceiling stain are frequently on different slopes.
Greenville's wind record is dominated by trees coming down on houses. That is decking, rafters and sometimes framing — a structural repair, not a shingle repair — and it needs opening up properly rather than patching over.
The cracked rubber collar on a plumbing vent boot is the most common ordinary leak source on a Greenville house, because it fails years before the shingles around it do. Replaced, not caulked over.
Hunt County's hail arrives in clusters — eighteen of forty-two reports in two years. Mat fracture is invisible from the ground and shortens a roof's life years before it leaks.
Same-day tarping on an active leak, including after a tree strike where the priority is getting the opening closed before the next rain.
With photographs, and including the version where we tell you the roof is sound and to call back in a few years. It costs us the sale and it is why people call us back.
From the attic and from the roof. The stain and the hole are regularly several rafter bays and sometimes an entire slope apart, which is why a leak that was already 'fixed' once so often was not.
After a tree strike the shingles are the least of it. We open the area, assess the decking and the rafters underneath, and price the structural repair honestly rather than shingling over a compromised deck.
Greenville requires a permit on all roofing work with no threshold. Because the published fee schedule and the codified fee ordinance disagree — $50.00 flat versus $0.50 per square foot — we confirm the current position with the city rather than quoting one of them.
Photographs at the open stage and at completion, debris removed, and a magnet run over the drive and lawn. Repairs are small jobs, which is exactly why they are where corners get cut.
The rubber collar hardens and splits years before the shingles around it wear out, making it the single most frequent ordinary leak source on a Greenville house of any age.
The local wind record is full of trees on houses. That means cracked decking and sometimes damaged rafters under an apparently small hole — structural work that has to be opened up and repaired properly rather than covered.
Fractured mats from hail and creased, lifted shingles from wind. Both need somebody on the roof to find, and Hunt County's hail comes in concentrated years rather than evenly.
Written, on the repair itself. Small jobs are where warranties usually evaporate, which is why ours is written down on them.
Same-day tarping on an active leak for Greenville addresses, including after a tree strike.
Including the version where the roof is sound and we say so. It costs us the sale and it is the reason people call us back.

Yes. Greenville's re-roofing packet states that permits are required for all roofing projects, with no square-footage or scope threshold. There is no small-job exemption here.
We confirm it with the city rather than quoting a figure, because Greenville's own documents disagree. The published fee schedule lists a Re-Roofing Permit at $50.00, while the codified fee ordinance — Ordinance 19-037, adopted 23 July 2019 — prices residential alterations, remodels and repairs at $0.50 per square foot. Those are very different numbers, and we would rather get the current position than guess which applies.
Partly, and the rest is structural. Greenville's wind record is dominated by trees toppling onto homes — the NWS specifically documented many trees and branches falling onto homes, vehicles, storage buildings and fencing. Under an apparently small hole there is usually cracked decking and sometimes a damaged rafter. That has to be opened up and repaired properly; shingling over a compromised deck is how a tree strike becomes a ceiling collapse two years later.
Almost never in the middle of the field. In order of how often we find them: cracked pipe boots, chimney and wall flashing, valley metal, roof-to-wall transitions and vent penetrations. The rubber collar on a plumbing boot in particular hardens and splits years before the shingles around it wear out.
Often not. Water runs along the underside of the decking, down rafters and along ductwork before it finds somewhere to drop, so the entry point can be several rafter bays or a whole slope away. Tracing it from the attic is what makes a repair hold.
It comes in clusters rather than evenly. Eighteen of Hunt County's forty-two hail reports in the study window fell in 2023 and 2024 alone. That pattern matters: a roof can go years with nothing and then take two bad seasons back to back, which is why an inspection after a cluster year is worth having even if nothing is leaking.
It depends on remaining roof life rather than the size of the leak. We give you the answer in writing with photographs, including when the honest answer is that a repair is genuinely right. Greenville is also one of the few cities that permits a layover, so if replacement is the answer there is an extra conversation to have about whether a re-cover is sensible — usually it is not.
No — including the version where we look, find nothing wrong, and tell you to call us in a few years. A company that has never once given a homeowner that answer is not inspecting roofs, it is prospecting them.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
