Gilroy Roof Pros provides professional roof leak repair in Gilroy, CA for residential and commercial properties across the South Santa Clara Valley. A leak on a Gilroy tile roof is almost never the tile. It is the felt or membrane underneath, which is the part actually keeping water out. The tile is a rain screen and a sunshade. Knowing that changes how a repair gets diagnosed.
We start in the attic where there is one, because water leaves a record on the sheathing that it never leaves on the ceiling below. Then we lift tile in a controlled path from the ridge down, rather than walking the field and cracking pieces on the way to the problem. Broken tile costs you money and tells us nothing at all about where the water came in.
City rules give us useful room here. A repair of 100 square feet or less does not need a permit, and where a solar array is involved, a repair that stays under ten percent of the roof area or 200 square feet, whichever is smaller, and does not disturb the array is exempt as well. That lets us open enough roof to find the real path without turning a leak call into a permitted project.
What we find on 1990s tract stock is predictable once you have seen enough of it. Thirty-pound felt gone brittle at the laps. Pipe jacks whose collars split years ago and were never noticed. Valleys where the metal is perfectly sound and the underlayment either side of it has failed. Anti-ponding risers at the eave that were never installed, so the last two feet of felt sat wet every winter.
Here is the part that rarely makes it onto anybody else's written estimate. If we are lifting tile and the felt tears in our hands away from the repair area, the repair is a stopgap, and we will say how long it buys. On a roof where this is the third patch, the honest recommendation is to stop paying for patches and start pricing the underlayment. We would rather lose the repair and be there for the reroof.
When a repair is the right call, it is a real repair. New self-adhered membrane lapped properly into the existing field, flashing replaced in 26-gauge galvanized to the city's stated minimum rather than sealed over with mastic, and photographs of the opened assembly before we close it back up. You get to see what was actually under your roof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, 26-gauge galvanized wall and roof intersection flashing, net free ventilating area at a one-to-150 ratio — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Gilroy and nearby communities including Morgan Hill, San Martin, Hollister, San Juan Bautista.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof leak repair
The difference between roof leak repair that lasts and roof leak repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Gilroy job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the South Santa Clara Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
