Roof Hole Repair

Get Small Holes Fixed Before They Become Big Problems

A hole in your roof—no matter how small—is a serious issue that requires prompt attention. Left untreated, even tiny punctures can allow water, pests, or debris into your home, leading to leaks, mold, insulation damage, and structural decay.

At Dallas Roof Repair Co., we help you get connected with experienced local contractors who specialize in targeted roof hole repairs. Our approach is repair-first. That means finding the most cost-effective way to stop leaks and protect your home—without jumping straight to full roof replacement.

What Causes Holes in a Roof?

Roof holes can result from a variety of issues, most of which are common in Dallas due to storm activity, aging materials, and heat exposure. Some of the most frequent causes include:

Storm Damage: Hail, wind-blown debris, and falling tree branches can puncture shingles or metal roofing.
Animal Intrusion: Squirrels, raccoons, birds, and rodents may claw or chew their way in.
Roof Wear & Tear: Over time, aging shingles or corroded metal panels can develop holes or thin spots.
Improper Installations: Screws, nails, satellite mounts, or old vent pipes that weren’t sealed correctly can become leak points.
Water Deterioration: Poor drainage can lead to soft spots in the decking that eventually collapse.

What Happens If Roof Holes Aren’t Repaired?

Small holes can lead to much bigger damage if not addressed quickly. Here’s what can happen:

Water leaks into attic or walls
Growth of mold and mildew
Damaged insulation, reducing energy efficiency
Rotting of roof decking or rafters
Electrical hazards from water exposure
Ceiling stains and bubbling paint
Pest infestations through exposed openings

The good news? Most holes can be quickly and affordably repaired—if you act early.

How Roof Holes Are Repaired

Different holes require different repair methods depending on size, location, roof material, and the extent of the underlying damage. A skilled contractor will start by identifying the exact source and recommending a targeted solution.

Typical Roof Hole Repair Process:

Final Water Test (if needed): Some roofers may test the area with water to ensure the repair holds and that no other leaks are present.
Inspection & Leak Detection: A thorough inspection locates the hole(s) and checks for related damage in nearby shingles, decking, or underlayment.
Temporary Covering (if needed): For active leaks, a tarp or patch may be applied immediately to prevent further intrusion until permanent repairs can begin.
Material Removal: Shingles, tiles, or panels around the hole may be removed to access and evaluate the decking.
Decking or Sheathing Repair: If the plywood or OSB is rotted or compromised, a section is cut out and replaced with new sheathing.
Flashing and Underlayment Check: Contractors make sure the hole wasn’t caused or worsened by failed flashing or moisture barrier.
Material Replacement & Sealing: New shingles, tiles, or metal pieces are installed to match existing materials, and the area is sealed to prevent future leaks.

Types of Roofs We Help With

Through our network, you can get matched with professionals who work with a variety of roofing materials:

Asphalt Shingle Roofs: The most common in Dallas. Holes are often caused by missing shingles, nail pops, or hail impact.

Metal Roofs: Screw holes, corrosion, and impact damage can be repaired with patches or seam sealing.

Tile Roofs: Cracked or missing tiles can expose underlayment to water damage. Targeted tile replacement is usually the fix.

Flat or Low-Slope Roofs: Punctures from foot traffic, tree limbs, or weather require membrane patches or full section resealing.

Common Roof Hole Repair Questions

Can I repair a roof hole myself with a patch kit?

Small holes might look easy to patch with DIY kits, but even minor leaks can lead to major damage if not sealed properly. A professional will make sure water, wind, and future leaks are prevented with proper materials and flashing.

How much does it cost to repair a hole in a roof?

Costs depend on the size and location of the hole, type of roofing material, and whether the decking beneath is damaged. Minor repairs may cost $150–$400, while larger holes or underlying structural damage could increase the price.

How do I know if there’s a hole in my roof?

Look for water stains on ceilings, light coming through the attic, unexplained mold growth, or damp insulation. You may also spot visible damage from the ground, like missing shingles or torn flashing.

What size hole is considered serious?

Any hole that allows water or pests in needs immediate attention. Even small punctures (under 1 inch) can let in enough moisture to cause hidden damage.

Will roof insurance cover hole repairs?

If the damage was caused by a covered event—like hail, falling debris, or a storm—your homeowners insurance may cover the cost of repairs. It’s best to document the issue and consult your insurer for specifics.

How quickly should I get a roof hole repaired?

Immediately. The longer a hole remains unpatched, the more water can enter your home. This leads to escalating repair costs and potential structural issues. A small same-day repair could save you thousands.
