Roofing in McAllen, TX

Have you noticed problems with your roof such as a minor leak, missing shingles, or torn flashing?

Not sure whether your roof needs a minor repair or a complete replacement?

Knowing when you should have your roof replaced and when to simply have it repaired could be the difference in thousands of dollars.

Here are a few things to consider when deciding if you should go for a roof replacement or roof repair:

How long have you had your roof?

The average roof will last about 15 years (the length may vary depending on maintenance and weather) before a replacement is necessary. If you have had your roof a lot longer than that and you are noticing leaks, torn flashing, and other problem areas it may be time that you have the roof repaired. Read more »

Now while it is true that now and again, a consumer may find a contractor that offers decent services at a very low price, but 9 out of 10 times, you get what you pay for.

Even a well-built roof will eventually have maintenance and repair problems. But if the roof was installed using a cheap contractor, you may start experiencing some very costly problems.

A common issue that you may experience after getting a “cheap roof” is roof leaks, and that alone can end up costing you thousands of dollars. Read more »

Inspecting the home’s roof is not necessarily a thing that homeowners do very often. Most of the time, people may glance over their roofline quickly – but that’s about it when it comes to a roof.

What most homeowners may not know is that regular roof inspections and then smaller fixes are essential to keep the roof in top shape and to protect against any costly repair costs in the future.

Only with such regular inspections, you can keep your home dry and cozy (who would want it to rain right into the home due to a faulty roof?). Roof inspections will likewise be a good thing to do in order to keep your home’s worth and value high for many years.  Read more »

For McAllen, this was one of the worst storms. Given the magnitude of the storm, the whole community is fortunate to have escaped with no serious injuries or fatalities. However, the storm did leave behind A LOT of damage. How much damage? Over $200 million, according to the Insurance Council of Texas.

By April 1st, thousands of auto and home insurance claims had been made. Additional insurance claim adjusters were sent out to McAllen to deal with the huge increase in insurance claims. Read more »
