Common Roofing Questions
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Signs worth paying attention to include leaks or ceiling stains, missing
or damaged shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, sagging areas,
and a roof that is getting old. Those signs tell you something is wrong,
but not how big the problem is. An inspection is the reliable way to
find out whether a repair will do the job or replacement makes more
sense.
Can a roof leak be repaired without replacing the entire roof?
Often, yes. Many leaks come from a specific source, such as flashing, a
pipe boot, a vent or a damaged section of shingles, and can be repaired
on their own. Whether the repair will last depends on the condition of
the roof around it. If water has already caused damage inside, see
water damage restoration.
Should I have my roof inspected after a hail or wind storm?
It’s a good idea after a significant storm, or if you notice
missing shingles, dented gutters or vents, or debris on the roof. Damage
isn’t always visible from the ground, and finding it early can
keep a small problem from becoming a leak. Our
storm damage page covers this in more depth.
How long does a roof inspection take?
It varies with the size, pitch and layout of the roof and how much
damage there is. We’ll talk you through what to expect when we
schedule the inspection.
Do you work on residential and commercial roofs?
Yes. Tejas Restore works on both. When you
request an inspection, tell us a little about
the building so we can plan the visit.
