We repair roof leaks on rental houses, duplexes and small apartment buildings around Pine Bluff for owners and property managers. We coordinate access with your tenant, send you a written price to approve by text or email, fix the leak and send before and after photos you can keep with the property records.
Almost half of the occupied homes in Pine Bluff are rented, about 48% (US Census ACS 2024). Many are older houses with older roofs. When a tenant reports a leak, you need someone who shows up, fixes it and tells you exactly what was done, without you having to drive over and climb a ladder.

Why rental roofs leak
- Older roofs that have been patched instead of repaired
- Pipe boots and flashing that have not been checked in years
- Gutters that nobody cleans between tenants
- Porch and addition roofs built without proper flashing
- Storm damage that tenants did not report right away
Small leaks in rentals often go unreported until the ceiling stains. By then the decking or insulation may be wet. A quick yearly roof check between tenants, or before storm season, catches most problems early.
Arkansas landlord responsibilities
Arkansas Act 1052 of 2021 set basic standards for rental homes. For leases that began on or after November 1, 2021, landlords must provide and maintain a working roof and building envelope, except for damage caused on purpose or by negligence of someone other than the landlord. If a landlord does not fix a problem after written notice, the tenant can give at least 30 days’ written notice and end the lease. Our answer on who fixes a roof leak in a rental in Arkansas covers the details. This is general information, not legal advice.
Call or text Jacob. We coordinate with your tenant, send you a written price and photos, and fix it.
For property managers
If you manage several properties, we can keep a record of each roof, check them once or twice a year, and send a short report with photos and any recommended repairs, ranked by urgency. That helps you budget and cuts emergency calls. For commercial buildings you manage, see commercial roof leak repair.

Ranges based on published Central Arkansas roofing cost guides (2025 and 2026). They are not quotes. Your written price comes after we look at your roof, and you approve it before any work starts.
Vacant homes and between tenants
About one in four housing units in Pine Bluff sits vacant (ACS 2024). An empty house with a small leak can rot for months before anyone notices. If you own a vacant or for-sale property, a quick roof check and any small repairs protect the value. We can work with you or your agent on access.
We do the most rental work around the UAPB and Warbritton area and in Dollarway, where a large share of homes are rented.
Between tenants: a quick roof check
The move-out window is the easiest time to look at a roof. Nobody is inside, and small repairs will not disturb anyone. When a unit turns over, we can check the attic for old stains, look at pipe boots and flashing, clear the gutters and valleys, and send you a short photo report. Fixing a cracked boot for a few hundred dollars now costs far less than a ceiling, insulation and a tenant complaint in the middle of the next storm season.
Keep the photo reports with each property file. If there is ever a dispute about when a leak started or what was done, dated photos settle it.
