ROOF REPAIR & MAINTENANCE
How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
-Our inspection includes roof photos and a clear explanation of the findings. Some issues can be repaired, while age or widespread damage may indicate a full replacement is the better option.
What should I do if I notice a roof leak?
-If you see moisture inside your home, it’s best to schedule an evaluation as soon as possible. Addressing a leak early helps prevent damage to insulation, drywall, or framing.
Do you offer roof maintenance plans?
-Yes. Our maintenance plan includes scheduled roof checkups and basic upkeep to help prolong the life of your roofing system. Many homeowners pair this with small repairs to prevent issues from growing over time.
What should I expect on build day?
-Our crew arrives early, protects your exterior property and landscaping, maintains a clean job site, and hauls away all debris. A project manager reviews the completed work with you at the end.

ROOFING MATERIALS & OPTIONS
What roofing materials do you install?
-We install architectural shingles, Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, standing seam metal roofing, and commercial TPO/coating systems.
How do I choose the right shingle for my home?
-Shingle selection depends on budget, design preference, durability needs, and your home’s location. We offer standard architectural shingles as well as Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for added longevity.
What is standing seam metal roofing and why is it popular in Texas?
-Standing seam metal roofing uses vertical panels with raised seams and concealed fasteners. This design creates a clean appearance and long-term durability. Because the panels resist expansion, contraction, and harsh sunlight, standing seam roofing has become a popular choice for many Texas homeowners.
How long does a metal roof last compared to shingles?
-A properly installed standing seam metal roof can last 40–60 years or more. Architectural shingles typically last 20–30 years depending on weather exposure and upkeep. The lifespan of each system depends on materials, ventilation, and maintenance.

What is included in a roof inspection?
-A roof inspection includes checking shingles or metal panels, flashing, vents, chimney areas, seals, penetrations, and drainage points. We also examine attic ventilation when accessible. Photos are provided so you can clearly see the condition of your roof.
Do you provide drone inspections?
-Drone inspections are available to capture aerial images of the roof. This helps document panel layout, roof slopes, transitions, and overall design.
