| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair for loose, hail-hit or wind-lifted metal roofing across Chico and Butte County. Repair of damaged, loose or storm-hit metal roofing, replacing panels dented by falling oak limbs, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the next winter storm pushes water inside. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Leak tracing for metal roofs that locates the real fault before anyone seals over it.

Emergency tarping available during winter storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Fastener replacement for metal roofs backing out under valley heat and summer wind. Triple-digit summers and wet winters crack washers and loosen screws on older exposed-fastener roofs across the valley, the top cause of slow leaks on barns, orchard sheds and outbuildings.

Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Coatings that revive sun-bleached metal roofs instead of replacing the panels. Restoration of sun-faded, chalking or rusted metal roofs, surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that cut triple-digit summer heat gain and extend roof life 10-15 years. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Chimney and skylight flashing rebuilt so storm water stops getting inside. Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys and wall transitions, the number one leak point on Chico roofs in winter storms. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Ice and debris guards fitted only where the roof needs them, without leaks. Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs, useful on the ridges of Paradise, Magalia and Forest Ranch where winter snow at elevation can slide off a metal roof all at once onto entries and driveways. |
