The problem
Multiple minor leaks, surface corrosion and lifted ridging on a character villa. Two re-roofing quotes had priced the owners toward selling.
The diagnosis
Structure and substrate sound. Corrosion was surface-level; the leaks came from fastener back-out and two failed apron flashings — all restorable.
The repair
Full fastener replacement, two flashings re-detailed, ridging refixed, corrosion treated, then a three-coat protective membrane system in heritage grey.
The result
Watertight with a 10-year coating warranty, at roughly 40% of the lowest re-roof quote. The villa kept its original roofline.
“Honest advice that saved us tens of thousands.”
