The most durable roofing materials for Texas homes, designed to withstand intense heat, high winds, and hail, are metal (40–70 year lifespan), clay/concrete tiles (50+ years), and slate (100+ years).

If a storm damages your roof, we recommend homeowners conducting a preliminary visual inspection of their roof from the ground. Key indicators of damage include missing, cracked, or curling shingles. You can also look for an accumulation of shingle granules in your gutters. From inside, clear signs of roof damage are new leaks or ceiling stains. Regarding metal roofing, check for dents on vents or flashing. If hail impacts your area, you can generally notice impact spots on your roof from the ground. If you observe any of these damages, contact us for a free roof inspection to get started on your repair or replacement.

The difference between roof repair and replacement can be determined by the extent of damage, age of your roof, and the overall condition. 

Roof repair focuses on fixing smaller roof problems such as missing or damaged shingles, minor leaks/water intrusion, flashing, and storm or wind damage only in a small area. Repairs are typically cost effective and ideal when a roof is new and the damage is in a smaller area. 

Roof Replacement involves removing the existing damaged roof and installing a new roof system. Replacement is more common when the roof is near or past its lifespan, damage is widespread across the roof, there are underlying structural/decking issues, and multiple repairs have already been made over time.

When receiving a roof repair or replacement, it’s important to ask your roofer any questions you may have regarding insurance and licensing, written estimates, repair versus replacement recommendations, materials and warranties, roofing project timeline, permits and inspections (confirm the roofer will handle required permits and ensure work meets local building codes.), cleanup and property protection, and local experience/references.

Some of the most common problems are caused by weather exposure over time. Weather exposure includes sun, heavy rain, strong winds, seasonal storms (winter & spring), causing cracked or broken shingles, curling/buckling shingles, missing shingles, and granule loss.

When shingles deteriorate, they can no longer properly shed water which can increase the risk of leaks, rotting wood, and interior damages.

Hail damage can cause bruised or cracked shingles, granule loss, dents or punctures.

Roof leaks can appear later as water can travel and build up long before it becomes visible inside your home. Damage on your roof doesn't always cause immediate leaks or stains and can sometimes take weeks or months to appear. Common reasons leaks can appear later include: slow moisture accumulation in cracks, nail holes, or missing shingles allowing small amounts of water in over time, hidden damage beneath shingles, storm damage that worsens over time and saturated insulation.
