Advanced Diagnostics Solve Haight-Ashbury's Most Frustrating Roof Problem

David and Lisa Morrison had a leak that was driving them insane. Every time it rained, water appeared in their bedroom ceiling, but never in the same spot twice. They’d hired four different roofing contractors over six months. All four had “fixed” it. All four had failed.

“We’d spent almost $4,000 on repairs that didn’t work,” Lisa told us, exhausted and frustrated. “One guy said it was the chimney. Another swore it was a valley. The third one blamed our gutters. The fourth just shrugged and said old houses leak sometimes. We were ready to sell the place.”

When they called Royal Roofing CA, we could hear the skepticism in their voices. “What makes you different from the others?” David asked. Fair question.

“We don’t guess,” we told them. “We diagnose.”

Our lead technician arrived with thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and decades of experience reading San Francisco roofs. He didn’t start on the roof. He started in their attic, mapping every water stain, measuring moisture levels, and photographing the pattern of damage.

Then he went up top. Not to patch randomly, but to think. Forty minutes later, he came down with the answer: “Your leak isn’t where you think it is. It’s traveling. Water is entering near your plumbing vent, running down a rafter, hitting a junction, and spreading out. That’s why it appears in different spots.”

Two days of precise, surgical repairs later, the leak was gone. Not maybe gone. Not probably fixed. Actually, completely, verifiably eliminated.

That was three years ago. The Morrisons haven’t had a single drop of water since. “You did in two days what four other companies couldn’t do in six months,” David told us. “And you charged less than what we’d already wasted. That’s not just skill. That’s integrity.”

At Royal Roofing CA, we don’t believe in guesswork. We believe in solutions.
