After the hurricane, we saw a wet spot in the attic that we think a leak from our old roof. I have been shifting through the forum and everyone highly recommend Ark Roofing - except that when I called him he is 4-6 weeks booked. The guy was a pleasure to speak with though. Is there any other good roof repair service that you can recommend? We need the service fast. The more recommendation the better, since the guy said many roofers are very busy now.

This is roofer lingo for "we want full roofing job$$$ right now, no time or interest in small emergency calls that put less profit in our pockets". Start out the call saying you've been getting quotes in the $35k range and would like to see if you can do a little better and observe the different reaction.

Error.
ARK only does repairs and is a family business with a well-earned tremendous reputation that helps them maintain a healthy backlog of work.

It's clearly obvious that you know nothing about Ark roofing.

Horse hockey. Any roofing company that specializes in repairs would get a huge amount of their business by being able to service emergencies, thus, if they had a generous backlog of work they would simply grow their employee base to meet demand. Most people aren't dumb enough to pass up free money, and would do whatever is necessary to capture it if leaking it.
A roofing company specializing in repairs that has a 4-6 week backlog is kind of like an emergency room with a 6 week waiting list for patients.
I respectfully disagree. Ark Roofing (Dale & Peter Clement, a father-and-son team) did a roof repair for me. Wonderful job, reasonable cost, recommended. When I subsequently needed a whole-roof job I contacted them... and they politely declined the job... because they do only repairs.
Although *****rd Roofing gave us a high-ish quote when looking for a new roof (we went with Roofwerks and were pleased), *****rd did repair work for us a few years prior for what seemed like a reasonable price & it held up very well.

I speak fact.
You speak attitude and theory.
The Op came looking for fact.
