Fast, Reliable Roof Repair in Rochester, NY
Need roof repair in Rochester? We fix leaks, cracked and missing shingles, damaged fascia, and the flashing around chimneys and skylights. We have repaired every kind of damage this climate throws at a roof, and we tarp the same day when a repair cannot wait.
How Do You Know If a Roof Needs Repair or Replacement?
Repair the roof when the damage is isolated and the rest of the system still has life in it. Replace it when the shingles are curling across the whole roof, the deck is soft, or you are patching the same leak twice a year.
Most Rochester roofs we look at do not need replacing. A roofer who only quotes replacements is selling, not diagnosing. We get on the roof, find where the water actually enters, and tell you which one you are looking at. If a storm took shingles off your roof, that is usually a repair, not a new roof.
Leak traced to the source
Water travels. We find where it gets in, not where it drips.
Flashing and penetrations
Chimneys, skylights, and vents are where most leaks start.
Shingle and wind damage
Lifted, cracked, and missing shingles replaced to match.
Decking checked underneath
If the wood is soft, you need to know before we close it up.
Flat and low slope repairs
TPO and EPDM seams, flashing, and drains on flat roofs.
Straight repair or replace call
If the roof has life left, we say so and quote the repair.

Read Kaptein Contracting Reviews From Around Rochester, NY
We had a roof leak recently. I called numerous roofers of which a few didn’t call back. I had 5 come out and look at the roof. All but John Kaptein wanted to sell me a roof. John took 1 look and saw the problem. Went up on roof to verify what he thought was the issue. He fixed the roof yesterday for a few hundred dollars versus over $20,000 for a new roof. I appreciated his honesty and when I do need a roof I’ll be calling Kaptein Contracting. Thanks John

John and his crew did an excellent job on my challenging roof. He took the time to listen to several specific requests and fixed three problems with the roof, ventilation, and flashing that had existed during the 19 year life of our house. I highly recommend him and his company.

Kaptein contracting has been a pleasure to work with. They came out and fixed my roof on short notice, for a fair price, and the service was exceptional! I would recommend Johnny Kaptein to anyone who needs contracting work done, I can’t say enough about what a great experience I had working with Johnny and his team.

Roof Repair Questions, Answered
Who does the best roof repair in Rochester, NY?
Kaptein Contracting is widely regarded as one of the best roof repair companies in Rochester, NY. We are a family-run, fully insured, GAF Certified Plus contractor, roofing Rochester since 2006. We repair leaks, flashing, storm damage, and flat roofs across Monroe County and Wayne County.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Repair it if the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof still has life. Replace it if shingles are curling across the whole roof, the deck is soft, or you are patching the same leak every year. We will tell you which, not sell you a roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in Rochester?
It depends on what is actually wrong. A flashing repair around a chimney is a few hundred dollars. A section of decking and shingles costs more. We get on the roof, diagnose it properly, and give you a written price before any work starts.
How fast can you get out to look at a leak?
We provide free written estimates within two to five business days. If you have water actively coming into the house, call us and say so. We will move you up and get the roof covered before the damage spreads any further inside.
