When to Schedule Storm Damage Inspection for Your Roof

Monday, August 14th, 2023

Major storms often hit the Houston area with rains, strong winds, and hailstones—and these storms can create severe damage on the roof over your head. But if you think of storm damage only as something drastic like a tree collapsing onto the roof, you might overlook some extensive damage that needs repairs. This is why it’s important to know when to schedule a storm damage inspection with professionals. The damage may not look extensive from the ground, but shattered shingles and damaged flashing can lead to water getting under the roof and causing severe damage that can lead to an early roof replacement.

Whenever you’re ready for a storm damage inspection in Richmond, TX, simply call Reign Roofing.

At What Point Is a Roof Past Repair?

The roof over a house may seem like a part that will last for as long as the house does. But this isn’t true. Roofs have limited lives, and in most cases a roof will last for 16 to 18 years, even though they’re called “30-year roofs.” The lifespan of a roof can also drop because of serious damage from wind and hail, or because of lack of repairs that allowed water to seep into the roof underlayment.

A roof replacement in Katy, TX is a big job and not something you’ll want to undertake unless you need to. But when do you need to? We’re roofing professionals with many years of experience with repair and replacement, and we can shine some light on this topic to help you better understand when you need a new roof.

If the roof of your house is damaged, you know it’s a major problem. What happens the next time it starts to rain? The troubles with a damaged roof go beyond water leaking during a storm.

With cracked or shattered shingles, the roofing structure of your house is exposed to the elements, which can lead to extensive damage that may require you to have to replace the whole roof. 

Once you know you have a damaged roof, it’s necessary to have it repaired.

Before you go looking for a tall ladder and purchase supplies from a hardware or home goods store (roofing cement, roofing nails, new tiles, etc.), you need to ask yourself if you can handle this job on your own. If you’re honest, the answer is likely no.
