Roof Replacement

A Deteriorating Roof Can Ruin Your Entire Home

A roof does much more than protect a structure from the elements, but unfortunately Even the highest quality roof can’t last forever and eventually gives way to the forces of nature. We know how important it is for you to find a roofing company that you feel comfortable with and can trust to install or repair the roof that will keep you safe and comfortable for years to come.

It is not a question of if you need a roof replacement, but of when. On average, a home’s roof should be replaced, in some cases just repaired, every ten years. Our highly trained crewmembers and project managers will fully inspect your roof and work with you to ensure that all your roofing needs are met.

Here are some signs that indicate that your roof may need to be replaced:

  1. Missing shingles
  2. Daylight through roof boards
  3. Decaying shingles
  4. Blistering shingles
  5. Curling and buckling of shingles
  6. Chimney flashing
  7. Shingle granules in the gutters

We understand how replacing a roof can be inconvenient, generating uncertainties about the integrity of your home and having to adjust your daily routines. With Texas Home Roofing, you can rest easy knowing our trusted crewmembers are committed to alleviating all of the stress and frustration that come with roof replacements by making the process hassle-free by keeping you informed throughout every step of the project.

Roof Repair

If your roof has damage from hail or high wind, call Texas Home Roofing immediately, so we can assess the damage and offer solutions that make sense. Regular maintenance and inspections of your roof will help you to locate repair issues as early as possible and treat them before they become big problems. Roofs in Texas are subject to weather damage from heat, hail, wind, or storms. A heavy storm can cause minor damages that lead to leaks and property damage in the future. Our inspectors will look for these issues, as well as inspect for animal or tree damage, skylight and turbine issues, and flashing and gutter problems. When you contact Texas Home Roofing, we will send an experienced member of our team to thoroughly evaluate and inspect your roof for damage or other issues.

Once the inspection is complete, we will provide you with a free estimate of suggested repairs. Taking care of small roofing issues as they occur will help to protect your warranty, extend the life of your roof, and ensure that your roof is in the very best condition.

UNDERSTANDING STORM DAMAGE

High winds can tear and remove shingles, leaving the roof deck, underlayment or old shingles from a previous roof exposed to the elements. Wind can also lift and curl shingles by breaking the seal that bonds them together, leaving your roof vulnerable to wind-driven rain.

Damaged Shingles

Hail can leave dents or pockmarks in shingles, dislodging the protective granules that protect against rain and sun damage.

YOUR STORM DAMAGE CHECKLIST

So you think you need a new roof. Don’t worry. This helpful guide will walk you through everything you need to know — and everything you need to do — to make your roof replacement go smoothly.

  1. Assess your roof for storm damage. Walk around the perimeter of your home and photograph or take note of any damage. Obvious signs of damage may include dented, torn, curled or missing shingles.
  2. Check gutters, roofing accessories and windows. Though your shingles may appear undamaged, dents in gutters and roof vents may point to hidden roof damage. Also be sure to inspect windows for cracks, loose weatherstripping and torn screens.
  3. Inspect the area around your home. Check for fallen tree limbs, broken fences and damage to lawn furniture and exterior decorations. Look closely at flat surfaces such as patios and decks for signs of hail damage.
  4. Look for leaks and water spots in your attic and ceilings. Even though your roof may appear undamaged from the outside, wind and hail may have caused leaks that can lead to problems later. Check ceilings and light fixtures for signs of water and inspect your attic closely with a flashlight.
  5. After a storm, there may be a lot of contractors competing for your attention. Make sure you choose a contractor you can trust — such as Texas Home Roofing — to assess your damage, provide an estimate and replace your roof using proven products.
  6. Call your homeowner’s insurance company. Refer to your notes, report a claim with your insurance company and arrange for an inspection.

NOTE: We recommend that you do not attempt to climb up on your roof. Especially after a storm, the roof structure may be weakened and shingles may be slippery. If you suspect roof damage, call Texas Home Roofing to assist you with your assessment.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofs are both durable and stylish. They are made from large sheets of metal that run the length of the roof and overlap each other concealing the seam fasteners and creating a “standing seam.”Metal roofs are durable, highly impact resistant, fire retardant, recyclable, and require very little maintenance. They are available in a wide variety of colors and styles. Lighter color metal roofs can help home owners save money on their energy bills as they will reflect much more heat than a traditional asphalt tile roof.

For a modern, stylish roof that will save money on both maintenance and energy costs, metal roofs are an excellent choice for Texas homeowners.

There are three general types of metal roofs- screw down panels, metal shingles and standing seam.
Standing seam metal roofs are by far the longest lasting and most leak-resistant roofing option. Standing seam panels are cut to length and are attached with clips recessed under the panel, eliminating the holes left by screws and minimizing the potential for leaks. Straight Solutions offers standing seam options in either galvalume or a wide variety of colors.

Why Consider Metal Roofing?

  • Metal roofs are 100% recyclable.
  • They weigh less than composition and tile roofs.
  • They are made from up to 75% recycled materials.
  • Depending on the type of metal roof you choose, your metal roof will last from 50 years to lifetime.
  • They increase the energy efficiency of the building and make it easier to cool your home.
  • They can be the ideal platform for solar panels and water collection units.
  • Metal roofs mean fewer composition shingles in the landfill.
  • They are not a petroleum-based product, reducing our dependency on petroleum production.

Once you’ve settled on purchasing a metal roof, you’ll want to ensure that you pick the right roofing company to install and maintain your new home improvement solution. With over 25 years of experience under our belts, you can count on Keith Barker Roofing and Solar to deliver results that you can rely on for years to come.
