Quick Roof Repair & Leak Fixing in Lansing, MI

Project Overview

A recent spring storm sent water into a Lansing home’s attic, leading to stains on the ceiling below. The homeowner contacted Christopher’s Handyman Service for urgent roof repair and leak resolution.

Inspection & Assessment

• Tarped the affected roof area immediately to prevent further water damage

• Climbed onto the roof to inspect shingles, underlayment and flashing at the ridge, chimney and valleys

• Identified cracked architectural shingles, deteriorated chimney flashing and minor underlayment gaps

Repair Process

1. Remove damaged materials

   • Carefully pried up and discarded the compromised shingles and old flashing without disturbing surrounding shingles

2. Replace flashing

   • Installed new metal flashing around the chimney and ridge vent, cutting to precise angles and securing with corrosion-resistant roofing nails

3. Underlayment check

   • Lifted adjacent shingles to verify underlayment integrity, applying self-adhesive roofing tape over any small gaps

4. Shingle installation

   • Matched new architectural shingles to the existing roof color and pattern, nailing to manufacturer specs and sealing exposed nail heads

5. Sealants & caulking

   • Applied premium, paintable roofing caulk around all penetrations—vents, flashings and pipe collars—for a watertight barrier

Materials & Techniques

• Matched Owens Corning architectural shingles for durability and wind resistance

• Used galvanized steel flashing with a baked-on enamel finish to resist corrosion

• High-temperature synthetic underlayment and premium-grade roofing sealant

Cleanup & Final Inspection

• Removed all roofing debris and nails from the roof and yard

• Brushed the attic and ceiling area to clear residual granules

• Performed a water-test run with a hose to confirm no leaks remained

• Walked through findings and warranty details with the homeowner
