This is the Tybee Island 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 quoteInsurers scrutinize coastal roofs hardest at renewal, and a dated inspection report with slope-by-slope photos is the cheapest way to survive that review. Metal and tile score best on wind mitigation for a reason, but a properly nailed architectural shingle roof with a sealed deck closes most of the gap at a fraction of the cost. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off.
What it costs in Tybee Island: 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.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
How it works
Only if a specific storm event caused it. Wear-and-tear leaks are not covered and filing can count against you. When it's a storm, document the date and get the inspection before you call the carrier.
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.
