General Roofing
-
Most roofs in our area last 10-20 years depending on the material, ventilation, installation quality, and weather exposure (Texas sun, wind, and hail are big factors). Architectural shingles tend to outlast 3-tab; and metal, tile, and composite can last significantly longer with proper install and maintenance.
What are the signs my roof needs to be replaced?
Common replacement signs include:
Shingles curling, cracking, missing, or sliding
Granules collecting in gutters/downspouts
Soft spots, sagging, or decking damage
Repeated leaks (especially in multiple areas)
Flashing failures around chimneys, valleys, and penetrations
Roof age pushing 20+ years (or sooner after major hail/wind events)
-
A repair is usually the right call when damage is localized and the roof still has life left. A replacement makes sense when:
Damage is widespread (hail hits, wind lift across slopes)
The roof is near end-of-life
Multiple leaks keep popping up
Underlayment/decking issues are present
We’ll document what we find and give you the straight answer—repair if we can, replace if we should.
-
Yes. We plan around weather windows and protect your home throughout the process. Cold temps and rain can affect certain materials and seal times, but a professional crew can still replace a roof safely and correctly with proper scheduling and protection.
-
We recommend:
Once per year, and
After major storms (hail/wind)
Catching small issues early can prevent expensive interior damage.
-
Simple maintenance goes a long way:
Keep valleys and gutters clear
Trim back overhanging limbs
Check/replace pipe boots as they age
Watch flashing around chimneys and walls
Make sure attic ventilation is doing its job
We can point out the “high-risk” areas during an inspection.
-
We don’t recommend it. Walking on a roof can damage shingles, void warranties, and it’s a serious fall risk. If something looks off, call us—we’ll inspect it safely and document everything.
-
In most cases, yes—especially for storm checks and replacement evaluations. If you need a specialty inspection (real estate documentation, engineering-style reporting, etc.), we’ll tell you upfront before scheduling.
-
Delaying can turn a roof problem into a home problem:
Leaks spread into insulation, drywall, framing
Mold risk increases
Decking rot can expand and raise replacement cost
Insurance may reduce coverage or require action on older roofs
If timing is the issue, we can talk options to stabilize it short-term.
