Most common leak on 12–20 year roofs

Pipe boot repair.
$395 flat.

The rubber collar around a plumbing vent cracks with UV and freeze-thaw. Water follows the pipe into the attic and shows up as a mysterious stain months later. New boot, shingles cut in and sealed — $395 on the published price book.

What’s included

Clear scope. Published prices.

$395 first boot

New boot over the vent stack, shingles woven back in and sealed. The single most common repair we sell.

$145 each additional, same visit

Once we’re already on the roof, extra boots are priced to finish the weak ones before they fail next season.

Why boots fail before the field shingles

Field shingles can look fine while every penetration on the roof is past its service life. That’s normal — rubber ages faster than asphalt. Caulking a cracked collar is a season at best; swapping out the boot is the permanent repair.

Not sure the boot is your leak? Our field guide on how a cracked pipe boot shows up indoors walks through the attic and ceiling clues we check first.

We photograph before and after so you can see the collar that failed and the new installation. No “while we’re up here you need a whole new roof” conversation — that’s not our business.

What we found

A failing vent pipe collar, before repair.

Before-repair photos from real jobs. Cracked, separated sealant around the collar is a common leak point: water can run down the pipe and into the attic.
