This is the Decatur 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 quoteOlder homes have older electrical and plumbing penetrations through the roof; replacing the boots and flashings on all of them is cheap during a re-roof and expensive later. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable. This is the edge of the hail belt: storms are less frequent than up the I-35 corridor, but the ones that arrive are the same size.
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
A temporary fix (sealant, patch, or tarp) usually yes. A permanent fix depends on the cause. Ask for both on the quote.
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.
