Roof Repair
Roof repair solves damage from rain, wind, hail, and the relentless deterioration from the Texas sun. You may have looked up at a ceiling and discovered a stain. Perhaps you spotted lost shingles, loose panels or flapping trim and want them fixed before it leaks. Or, a falling branch or fire may have caused an emergency. For homes or businesses, you want experienced repair.

Expert leak repair
A leak is seldom directly above the place you see the stain. The problem may be eight to ten feet from the visible damage, because roofs slope and water runs. This is why a professional inspection from our expert is necessary.
- Wind and hail can scour off asphalt granules. This weakens water resistance and almost always requires roof repair. Materials can crack, nails and glue can loosen, and aging roofs simply come to the end of their useful life.
- Your roof will also have flashing where it meets a wall, plumbing vents, furnace vents, and skylights. Flashing is often the source of leaks.
- Commercial flat roofs suffer pooling water and cracking, making leaks inevitable.
- The tar paper, or felt, laid under shingles is the second line of defense against wind drive rain. If it was substandard or put in poorly, it gives way to wind and rain. Roof repair often involves replacing this sub-surface.
The three Ws: What Went Wrong?
This is what our inspector will determine when he examines your roof. It’s a fact that severe weather may compromise almost any shingle or tile. Our experts can often determine roof repair is the answer, not an entire replacement roof.
- If the shingles or tiles were not properly installed even a moderate storm will loosen them. Subdivision developers putting up rows of houses may not have followed manufacturer specifications installation in high wind areas.
- Another factor in wind damage is the “glue”. Adhesive strips bond a shingle to the one nailed atop it. If the glue strip was dirty, the glue doesn’t hold.
- Finally, the original builder of your home or building may have installed the wrong kind of material for the slope of your roof.
- Improper installation of metal roofing makes it susceptible to wind.
Damage from falling trees
Of course, a roof in top condition may not stand up to a large branch or entire tree toppled by wind. Call us for emergency roof repair. We will be your advocate with your insurance company. This is our commitment, whether your emergency is from wind or fire.
Hail accompanies our thunderstorms
Hailstones can be quite large; “golf-ball sized” is not a cliché. Hail slams asphalt shingles so hard that the granules are knocked loose, deteriorating the water resistance of your roof. Roof repair also replaces dented tiles or metal panels.
Deterioration from the sun
Ultraviolet rays cause roof deterioration. The sun “cooks” the materials causing a chemical transformation that impacts water resistance. Even slate faces more rapid deterioration on roof slopes with the most severe exposure to the sun. An asphalt shingle roof installed in a sunny climate often has five fewer years of useful life than up north.
Ask about new wind resistant shingles
There are excellent new options for roofing material that have been tested to hold up in strong winds. These brands are so storm-resistant their warranties specifically cover high wind.
