This is the Palmetto page for roof leak repair. The short version: you want to stop water coming in and to know why it started, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteA mix of eras means a mix of decking — plank, plywood, OSB — and a roofer needs to know which before pricing. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision. A sealed roof deck — peel-and-stick underlayment over every seam — earns secondary water resistance credit on the wind mitigation form and is worth asking for by name.
On cost: diagnosis plus a single-point fix is a few hundred to low thousands; chronic leaks around chimneys, skylights, or dead valleys cost more because the fix is flashing work, not shingles.

How it works
Water travels along rafters and decking before it drops. The entry point is almost always uphill of the stain, often at a pipe boot, a nail pop, or a flashing seam.
A temporary fix (sealant, patch, or tarp) usually yes. A permanent fix depends on the cause. Ask for both on the quote.
