Frequently Asked Roofing Questions
Let’s address the most common questions and concerns about our roofing services in North Houston. Our aim is to provide you with comprehensive information to ensure your roofing needs are met with expertise and professionalism.
How can you tell if your roof needs to be replaced?
You may need a roof replacement if you notice significant wear and tear such as missing, cracked, or curling shingles, leakage in the attic after a storm, dark streaks, or moss growth on the roof surface. If your roof is over 20 years old, it’s also wise to consider a replacement.
What is the best type of roof for my house?
The best type of roof for your home in the Houston area depends on your budget, and aesthetic preference. Common options include asphalt shingles for affordability and ease of installation, metal roofing for durability, and slate for a long-lasting and natural appearance. We can provide samples of our roofing products upon request.
If my roof leaks do I need a whole new roof?
Not necessarily. A leak could be due to a minor issue like a lifted shingle or a breach in the flashing. It’s essential to have a professional assess the situation to determine if a repair can fix the issue or if a full replacement is necessary.
How long do roofs last? My roof is relatively old but seems fine.
The lifespan of a roof depends on the material and environmental factors. Asphalt shingles can last 15-30 years, metal roofs 40-70 years, and slate can last over 100 years. If your roof is old but seems fine, it’s still wise to have it inspected regularly to catch any potential issues early. Especially after any type of storm or consistent rain.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
The time to replace a roof can vary based on the size of the roof, the type of materials used, and weather conditions. Typically, a shingle roof can be replaced in 1-2 days. A metal, slate, and tile roof can take 2-5 days.
How can I get a quote for my roofing project?
You can request a quote by contacting us via phone or any of our social media platforms. We will schedule a consultation to assess your specific roofing needs and provide a detailed and transparent quote.
Do you warranty your roof repair work?
Yes, most reputable roofing companies will offer a warranty on their repair work. We offer a 5 Year Workmanship warranty that can be read here.
My roof looks fine after the last hail storm from the ground. Why should I schedule a inspection if it looks fine?
Hail can cause subtle damage that isn’t visible from the ground but can lead to more significant issues over time. Scheduling a free inspection ensures any hidden damage is identified and addressed promptly to maintain the integrity of your roof. It isn’t something that should be taken lightly because of the bigger problems hail damage can cause.
Do I need to consult my Homeowner Association (HOA) before my new roof is installed?
Yes, it’s crucial to consult your HOA before installing a new roof, as many have strict rules regarding the style, material, and color of roofing that can be used in the community.
We will assist in this process.
A new roof is expensive and I cannot pay cash. Do you offer financing?
Yes, there are multiple ways to get financed when going through us. We can suggest multiple financing options and you can choose which one you’d like to go with after learning about what interest rates are currently available and how long the terms are.
Insurance Claim
If your roof has sustained damage from hail or wind, it’s crucial to act promptly to prevent further damage to your property.
This would be considered an emergency situation and we would need to be at your home to assess what temporary repairs we would have to make to ensure your home is not damaged any further. We are ready to respond quickly to your initial call and have the necessary materials to start temporary repairs as we help guide you through the steps you will take when filing an insurance claim and how we will ensure that you do not pay a dime over what is needed for your roof.
