We fix roof leaks across East Pine Bluff, including Broadmoor, Broadmoor North, Belmont and Hallmark Manor. It is one of the oldest residential parts of town, with 92% of homes built before 1980, so most leaks here come from aging chimney flashing, pipe boots and decking. Our office is about 4 minutes away.
Roofs in East Pine Bluff
East of downtown, streets like Belmoor Avenue, Belle Meade Drive, Avalon Avenue and Boston Drive are lined with brick ranches from the 1950s and 1960s. In this Census tract the median home was built in 1967, and 92% of homes are older than 1980 (US Census ACS 2024). That is the highest share of any area we serve.
A roof on a 1960s ranch has usually been replaced once or twice. The shingles may be fine, but the flashing, pipe boots and decking underneath are often older than they look. Most of these homes have a brick chimney, a low-pitched roof and a carport or porch that was added later. Those are the three places we find leaks most often here.

Close to the office, close to the river
East Pine Bluff runs toward Harding Avenue and the Arkansas River side of town. Being this close to our office on S Tennessee St means a leak called in during the day can usually be looked at within hours. It also means we have worked on a lot of roofs just like yours, and we know where 60-year-old flashing tends to give out.
A typical East Pine Bluff leak
Here is a call we get often. A homeowner off Belmoor or Avalon sees a brown ring on the living room ceiling near the fireplace after a hard spring rain. In the attic, the wood around the chimney is dark and the insulation below it is matted. On the roof, the counter flashing is glued to the brick with caulk that has pulled away, and the step flashing underneath is rusted through in two spots. The fix is new step and counter flashing cut into the mortar joint, a couple of sheets of decking if the wood is soft, and a stain-block coat on the ceiling. It takes a day, not a new roof.
Many homes here also have a carport tied into the side of the house. If the carport roof is nearly flat and shingled, water backs up under the shingles where it meets the house wall. That is a different fix, covered on our porch and carport page.

Roof leak repair in East Pine Bluff: FAQ
Why do so many Broadmoor homes leak around the chimney?
Most chimneys here are original to 1950s and 1960s homes, and the flashing was often tarred over during later reroofs instead of replaced.
My ranch roof is low-pitched. Is that a problem?
Many ranches in this area have low slopes. They are fine with the right underlayment, but porches and additions tied into them are often too flat for shingles.
Is it worth repairing an older roof in Belmont?
Often yes. If the shingles are sound, fixing the flashing and boots can add years. We show you photos so you can decide.
How fast can you get to Broadmoor?
About 4 minutes from our office, so same-day visits are usually quick.
Do you replace decking on older Broadmoor roofs?
Yes, sheet by sheet where it is soft. We photograph it first and only replace what needs it.
