roof repairs

Patching the top

Roof repairs are work done to fix damage or deterioration on a roof—patching leaks, replacing shingles, sealing flashing, or addressing structural issues.

The phrase functions as a mass noun for this category of maintenance: The insurance covered roof repairs after the storm.

Often appears in estimates, contracts, and homeowner discussions about property upkeep.
