Steps on how to prevent a damaged roof:

- Keep your gutters clean by either pressure washing, air-blowing it, or installing a leaf guard based gutter.

- If your roof is older than 20 years check it annually by keeping an eye out for the signs listed in this section.

- Check your roof after a hurricane or big storm to see if there has been any damage, not all damage occurs right away, sometimes it can be weeks before any signs of a leak occur.

- Having proper ventilation for your roof. Having a ridge vent helps with this. This helps reduce heat, moisture, and mold. This all helps to save on a energy bill.

- Check to see if there is any structural issues with your home, sometimes the architecture of the home is to blame.

- Replace flashing every 3-5 years to make sure that it doesn't rust and you can get the full benefit of your roof.

- If shingles are curled at the edge of the roof, remove and replace them. If left alone it will accumulate water and damage your ceiling or wall.

- If replacing shingles, do it in sets of 3 or more. This ensures the damaged area is properly covered.

- Make sure that your roof is matching in color and is from the same brand manufacturer, not all brands are the same size.

- If you have a flat asphalt roof, have a metal dripping edge on the edge of the roof to reduce water damage and rusting.

- Install reflective coating instead of paint or tar products to reduce cracking and causing potentially more leaks. And it's easier to clean up.

- If you are a new owner to a property that has had multiple owners, check the roof to make sure it is in proper shape.

-If you do find yourself with multiple leaks, find the sources before patching them up or calling a roofing contractor to come fix it. If there is already a significant amount of damage call a trusted roofing professional immediately so no more damage occurs.

Since Lake Jackson and southern Brazoria County is located near the the Texas Gulf Coast, we highly recommend property owners to have their roof inspected for roof leaks and other potential problems. A roofing professional will be able to determine and do a thorough investigation into whether or not the damage from a storm or accident has compromised your roof.

My roof leaks. Do I need to have it replaced completely?

Not necessarily. It's possible that a section of your roof is loose, or that damage occured in one place only. We'll conduct a thorough investigation before suggesting repair options.

How long can I expect my roof to last?

Depends on the material grade of the roof, slope of the home, climate, and extreme storms at any given time. It is hard to say, but a good estimate should be anywhere from 20-50 years on average. For a more in detail answer, check our service page to see what each material will last you.

Are your services covered by my home insurance?

The average homeowners insurance does cover a damaged roof. Most homeowners insurance companies do if the roof is damaged by an act of nature and or if it is a sudden accident. 

We recommend talking with your insurance company first to make sure, in order to have a smooth process.

When there is no rain and or weather that would cause internal damage to the house if the roof was being repaired. Ideally no clouds in the sky would be best, but often it can be in cloudy and have windy conditions as well.
