  • How do I know if I need a new roof?
    A few signs that you may need a new roof include frequent leaks, visible damage such as cracked or missing shingles, significant granule loss, or a roof older than 20 years. Often, smaller issues can be repaired. It’s best to get a professional roofing assessment to determine whether a repair or full replacement is needed.
  • Why do I need a roof inspection?
    Regular roof inspections can catch minor issues before they become expensive repairs. They help extend the life of your roof and ensure your home is safe and protected from the elements. We offer free professional roof inspections as part of our services.
  • Can I get a virtual estimate?
    No. While many processes have gone virtual these days, an accurate quote depends on a physical inspection of the roof (and sometimes the attic). The good news is, we can get you scheduled quickly and our assessments are free of charge. For repairs & retail roof replacements, we provide a Roof Inspection Report that includes any estimates to give you an accurate picture of your specific situation. For insurance claims, your carrier determines the price of your roof replacement, and we will help you with your next steps in filing a claim.
  • What factors affect the cost of a roof replacement?
    Several factors influence the cost of a roof replacement, including: The size of the roof The type of roofing material you choose The condition of the existing roof The complexity of the installation Any upgrades you choose to add
  • What does the roof replacement process like?
    Our roof replacement process includes: Consultation & Estimate: We assess your roof and provide an Inspection Report along with any estimates or next steps for filing a claim with insurance. Material Selection & Installation Agreement: We help you choose the best materials for your needs and budget and send you a final contract before scheduling your roof installation. Installation Day: Our expert team carefully removes the old roofing material then installs the new roof. Other trades you may need, like gutters or garage doors, are also scheduled. Final Inspection: We ensure the new roof meets quality standards before completing the project.
  • Do you work with insurance companies?
    Yes. We work with insurance companies to help homeowners with storm damage claims. Navigating insurance claims can be quite overwhelming, and we walk through every part of the process with you. We will assist in documenting the damage and communicating with your insurance provider to make the process easier for you.
  • Do I have to pay my deductible?
    Yes. In Texas, it is illegal for contractors to waive a homeowner's insurance deductible. Contractors and Homeowners face hefty fines and possible jail time for violating the law. The short of it is, roofers who waive deductibles are cutting corners and helping you commit insurance fraud. Find more information about House Bill 2102 here and here.
  • What do RCV, ACV and depreciation mean?
    We understand how confusing it can be to understand insurance company lingo! These are important terms that reflect how your insurance carrier designates the funds of an insurance claim, and the values are determined by your carrier. RCV / Replacement Cost Value RCV is the amount your damaged property (primarily the roof in our case) is worth brand new. Depreciation Depreciation is the loss of value of your property over time due to factors like age and wear. (For example, a 10-year-old roof is not worth as much as a brand new roof; the difference in value is depreciation.) ACV / Actual Cash Value ACV is the current market value of your property considering its age and condition at the time of damage, or RCV minus depreciation. The amount of the first insurance check will be for the ACV minus your deductible.* Once work is complete, we will submit an invoice and insurance will release depreciation and write a check for recoverable depreciation.** *This is the process for RCV policies. ACV only policies do not receive funds for depreciation. **If the policy has non-recoverable depreciation, that amount is payable by the Homeowner.
  • What is a supplement?
    A supplement is an additional claim or request for additional funds submitted to your insurance carrier after the initial claim is approved. Often, the insurance adjuster doesn't account for certain details or misses items in the initial claim. Other factors that may necessitate a supplement include hidden damages not visible during the inspection and city code requirements. We will gather all the documentation necessary to file any supplements and submit them for review. When insurance approves supplements, they may write a check by itself or include the amount with the depreciation check.
  • How do I maintain my roof?
    Proper roof maintenance includes: Cleaning gutters regularly Checking for damage after storms Keeping debris off the roof Keeping tree limbs trimmed away from the roof Checking for nail pops Re-sealing exposed nail heads and roof accessories Ensuring attic ventilation is working properly Having annual inspections to identify potential issues
  • Do low-hanging branches and debris build-up really matter?
    Yes! Low hanging tree branches can scrape shingles causing abrasive damage, which leads to premature aging of the roof and makes it more susceptible to water and UV damage. A heavy or large branch can fall onto the roof (especially during a storm or high winds) causing immediate and severe damage. Leaves and branches that build up on the roof or in the gutters can cause water to back up under the shingles and seep into the roof or walls, leading to water damage and leaks. Steps to prevent tree damage to your roof: Trim Back Overhanging Branches. A general rule is to keep branches at least 6-10 feet away from your roof. Remove Dead or Weak Trees. Dead or dying trees pose a risk of falling onto your roof, especially during storms. Clean Gutters Regularly: Prevent blockages with frequent gutter cleanings, especially in the fall and after severe storms. Inspect the Roof. Check for any damage caused by tree branches. If you notice damaged shingles, leaks, or areas of concern, contact a roofing professional to repair the damage. Trim Trees After Storms. After storms or high winds, inspect the trees around your home to ensure no branches have fallen or are at risk of falling onto your roof.
  • How often should I have my roof inspected?
    We recommended an annual inspection, and after severe weather events (namely hail and high winds) or if you notice any leaks. Regular inspections can help catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
  • Can I repair my roof myself?
    "May the odds be ever in your favor." J/K While some small repairs may be manageable for DIYers, like most things: you get what you pay for. Cheap labor isn't skilled, and skilled labor isn't cheap.
  • How can I tell if my roof has a leak?
    Common signs of a roof leak include water stains on ceilings or walls, mold growth, or damp spots in your attic.
