Questions
The things people ask about a roof
Straight answers, no sales pitch, and no numbers invented to look precise.
How much does roof repair cost in Houston?
There is no single number, but there are five things that decide it, and you can work out roughly where your roof sits before anyone comes out.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof repair in Texas?
Sudden storm damage usually yes, wear and age no, and the deductible is the number that decides whether a claim is worth filing.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Age, how much of the roof is affected, and whether this is the first repair or the fourth.
How can I tell if my roof has hail damage?
Look at the soft metal first. If the gutters are dented, the shingles took the same hits.
How long does a roof last in Houston?
Less than the shingle packet says. Heat, humidity and hail take years off every roofing material here.
My roof is leaking. What should I do right now?
Catch the water, move what is under it, photograph everything, and do not go on the roof.
Do roofers need a license in Texas?
No. Texas has no state licence for roofing contractors, so you have to check other things instead.
Why does my roof only leak when it rains hard?
Because the water is being pushed uphill, under something that sheds a normal rain perfectly well.
How long does a roof repair take?
Small repairs are a visit. A replacement is usually a day or two. Weather and materials move both.
What does a roof inspection include?
Every slope walked, every flashing checked, the attic looked at from below, and a written report.
