A-04Services
Thirty jobs,one roof.
Every roofing service we offer, sorted into the five kinds of problem they solve. Open a row to see what's in it.
See every serviceHail bruises shingles, wind lifts them, and a storm can open a roof in ten minutes. We find the damage, tarp what can't wait and repair the rest.
Most leaks start somewhere other than where the ceiling stain is. We follow the water back to where it gets in and fix it there.
When a roof is past repairing, we tear it off to the deck, check the wood, and build the new one up layer by layer. Homes and commercial buildings.
Asphalt shingle, standing-seam and sheet metal, clay and concrete tile, and flat roofs with coatings. We'll tell you which one suits your house and your budget, and why.
The small parts cause most of the trouble. Flashing, ventilation, skylights, soffit, fascia and gutters, set right so water goes where it should.

A-06Materials
Which roofsuits Texas?
Texas asks two things of a roof: take the hail and take the heat. Here's how the common systems compare. We'll tell you which one suits your house.
| Roof | Best for | Hail | Heat | Upkeep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | Most homes and most budgets | Standard shingles bruise and crack in large hail. Impact-rated shingles, tested to UL 2218 Class 4, are built to take more. | Dark colors soak up heat. Lighter colors and a well-vented attic help. | Check after storms and replace damaged shingles. |
| Metal | Homes, barns, shops and warehouses | Large hail can dent panels. Many metal roofs carry an impact rating, and a dent doesn't always mean a leak. | Reflects a lot of sun, especially in light colors. | Low. Check fasteners, seams and sealant. |
| Clay or concrete tile | Spanish and Mediterranean-style homes | Shrugs off small hail. Large hail can crack individual tiles. | Handles heat very well. The air gap under the tile helps. | Replace cracked tiles. The underlayment beneath eventually needs renewing. |
| Flat and low-slope | Commercial buildings and modern homes | Membranes can be punctured by large hail. | White membranes and reflective coatings keep the roof cooler. | Keep the drains clear. Standing water is the main enemy. |
General guidance, not a quote. Sources: UL 2218, the impact-resistance test for roof coverings; U.S. Department of Energy guidance on cool roofs; Texas Department of Insurance consumer guidance on roofing. Some insurers in Texas offer a discount for impact-resistant roofs, so ask your agent.
A-07Inspection
Check us beforeyou hire us.
Texas doesn't license roofers at the state level, so anyone with a ladder and a truck can call themselves one. Here's what to ask any roofer before they start. Ask us for every one of these.
01
Insurance
Proof of liability insurance and workers' comp, so an accident on your roof isn't your problem.
02
Written estimate
A price in writing that names the materials, before any work starts.
03
Warranty
The manufacturer's warranty and the roofer's workmanship guarantee, both in writing.
04
Certification
Shingle makers list their certified installers on their own websites. You can look it up yourself.
05
No rush
Nobody should push you to sign on the spot, least of all on the day after a storm.
06
No deductible deals
In Texas it's against the law for a contractor to offer to waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible. A roofer who offers is telling you something.
Source on deductibles: Texas Department of Insurance, Roofing and insurance: know the law.

Five metros,one phonenumber.
- DallasNorth Texas sits in the heart of hail country, and spring storms here can drop large hail in minutes.
- Fort WorthSame spring hail season as Dallas, with plenty of older ranch homes whose roofs have seen several of them.
- AustinLong, hot summers are hard on shingles and attics, and spring storms roll through the Hill Country.
- San AntonioPlenty of tile and metal roofs, strong summer sun, and the occasional spring hailstorm.
- HoustonHeavy Gulf rain, humidity and hurricane season make wind ratings and drainage the big questions here.

A-09Notes
Questionswe geta lot.
Twice a year is a good habit, once in spring and once in fall, plus after any storm with hail or strong wind. Texas heat and storms wear roofs faster than people expect, and small problems are much cheaper to fix early.
It depends on the house and the budget. Asphalt shingles are the most common and the least expensive to install. Metal handles heat and wind well and reflects sun. Clay and concrete tile last a long time in heat but are heavy. Impact-rated shingles are worth asking about in hail country. We'll recommend what suits your roof and explain why.
Stay off the roof. Photograph any damage you can see from the ground, such as dented gutters, downspouts and AC units, and note the date and time of the storm. Check ceilings and the attic for damp spots. Then call us for an inspection and, if you plan to claim, call your insurance company.
Yes. If water is coming in, call (833) 332-1958. We stop the water first, usually with a tarp, and then come back to make the full repair.

The materials carry the manufacturer's warranty and the labor is covered by our workmanship guarantee. The length depends on the roof system you choose. We tell you the exact terms before you sign anything.
