AFTERRoof Leak Diagnosis & Repair
We find leaks other contractors miss — systematic inspection traces water paths back to the true source, then we fix it right.
Why SMF for leak repair?
Most contractors treat the symptom — we find the actual source. Rafael uses a systematic water-path inspection method that traces leaks back to where they actually enter, not just where they show up inside. That's why our repairs last. We also give you a straight answer on what's wrong and what it'll cost before any work starts.
Dead Valley Repairs
Dead valleys trap water and eventually fail every roof system they touch. We redesign and rebuild them properly.
Why SMF for valley repairs?
Dead valleys are one of the most misdiagnosed problems in roofing — water pools slowly and the damage compounds over years before it's obvious. We redesign the valley for proper drainage and fabricate the flashing on-site so it fits perfectly. Most customers who call us have already had another contractor fail to fix it.
Skylight Flashing Repair
Most skylight leaks aren't the skylight itself — they're failed flashing. We reseal or completely reflash skylights.
Why SMF for skylight flashing?
Skylight leaks almost always come from failed flashing, not the skylight itself. We replace the flashing system completely and integrate it properly with your roofing material — no shortcuts, no sealant-only fixes that fail in a year. We fabricate custom flashing on-site when needed.
Siding & Trim Repairs
Damaged siding and rotted trim let moisture into your walls. We repair or replace with engineered and fiber cement siding.
Why SMF for siding & trim?
We work with fiber cement, engineered wood, and composite siding — whatever matches your existing home. Every repair is finished paint-ready so you're not left with raw materials. Rafael has replaced siding on everything from small patch repairs to full exterior replacements in Central Texas.
Chimney Flashing Repair & Install
Chimney flashing is the #1 cause of roof leaks in Central Texas. We repair or fully replace step, counter, and base flashing.
Why SMF for chimney flashing?
Chimney flashing is the most common cause of roof leaks in Central Texas — and the most commonly botched repair. We use lead or galvanized steel with proper step and counter flashing, not just caulk over existing material. If it's failing, we tear it out and do it right.
Chimney Chase Cover Fabrication
We fabricate custom-fit galvanized or stainless steel chase covers on-site. No generic sizes — built to fit your exact chimney top.
Why SMF for chase cover fabrication?
We fabricate custom chase covers on-site to fit your chimney's exact dimensions. No ordering a generic size that doesn't fit — each cover is built with proper pitch so water runs off instead of pooling. We use galvanized or stainless steel depending on your preference and budget.
Flue Cap Replacement
A missing or damaged flue cap lets rain, animals, and debris into your flue. We replace with properly sized caps that seal and draft correctly.
Why SMF for flue cap replacement?
A failed flue cap lets water, animals, and debris directly into your chimney. We stock multiple sizes and can usually complete the replacement same-day. Every cap is properly sealed and fitted — not just set on top. Simple job done right.
Chimney Cricket Installation
A chimney cricket diverts water around wide chimneys before it pools and leaks. Required by code on chimneys over 30" wide.
Why SMF for chimney crickets?
A cricket is a small peaked structure built behind your chimney to redirect water around it — without one, water pools at the back of the chimney and works its way in. We design and build crickets that match your roof pitch and integrate cleanly with your shingles and flashing system.
Custom Metal Flashing Fabrication
We fabricate custom flashing on-site for any condition — no ordering parts, no waiting. Galvanized steel, stainless, or copper.
Why SMF for custom metal flashing?
We fabricate all metal flashing on-site — valleys, transitions, step flashing, pipe boots, and specialty shapes. On-site fabrication means the flashing fits your roof perfectly rather than being bent to approximate dimensions. Rafael has been doing custom metal work for over 5 years across Central Texas.
Drywall Repair & Installation
From water-damaged patches to full room installs — texture matching included so repairs blend in seamlessly.
Interior & Exterior Painting
Clean prep, proper priming, and quality finish. We paint interiors and exteriors after repair work or as a standalone project.
Flooring Installation
Hardwood, LVP, tile, and carpet. We install new flooring and repair damaged floors from water leaks or normal wear.
Bath & Kitchen Remodel
Full remodels or targeted repairs — tile work, fixtures, cabinetry, and everything in between.
Framing & Structural
From interior partitions to load-bearing wall work — we frame new spaces and repair structural damage from water or rot.
