Simple habits that help your roof last longer through Texas heat, hail and wind, and catch small problems before they become big ones.
Check for hail and wind damage after every storm. Clean gutters and downspouts. Book an inspection if you see dented gutters or loose shingles.
Make sure attic vents aren't blocked. Excess attic heat shortens shingle life and raises cooling bills.
Clear leaves from gutters and valleys. Trim branches that hang over the roof before winter winds.
Look for ceiling stains after rain or ice. Check flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights.
Keep gutters clear, trim trees, look at your roof from the ground after storms, and schedule a yearly inspection.
Pressure wash shingles, walk on the roof in hot weather or when wet, or put off small leaks. Small repairs are far cheaper than water damage.

Once a year, and after any major hail or wind storm. Spring and fall are good times to schedule.
No. Pressure washing strips the protective granules from shingles and can void your warranty. Use a gentle cleaner made for roofs, or call a professional.
Yes. Branches scrape off granules and can fall in storms, and leaves trap moisture. Keep limbs trimmed at least 6 to 10 feet from the roof.
Signs of poor ventilation include a very hot attic, frost or moisture on the underside of the decking, and shingles that curl early. We check ventilation during every inspection.
No pressure, no obligation. Just clear answers about your roof.
