Tracked to the real source — flashing, pipe boots, cracked tile, ponding — in Phoenix and all around it.
"Reparamos goteras" is on Gilberto's own list of what he does, and the craft in it is simple to say and hard to do: water rarely enters where the stain shows up. We track it back to the real source — a lifted flashing, a failed pipe boot, a cracked tile, a ponding low spot — and fix that, not the symptom.
A roof only has to fail once to cost you a ceiling. Monsoon season is when Phoenix finds out which details were done right, because wind-driven rain enters sideways in ways a gentle rain never tests. If a leak shows in July, do not wait for the next cell to confirm it.

The Valley is not one market — a 1950s block ranch in central Phoenix, a Tempe rental near ASU and a Scottsdale HOA home are three different jobs.
