Did you recently move to a brand new build, or perhaps just recently got a Brookshire roof replacement? Have you discovered a leak from the recent downpours the Greater Houston Area has experienced? If so, this might be due to a poorly executed Brookshire roof replacement. In this article, our Houston roof experts offer some signs that indicate your roof shingles were incorrectly installed and how we can help you correct this.

Signs Your Brookshire Roof Shingles Weren't Installed Properly

The following are some signs you should look out for when figuring out if your previous Brookshire roof replacement may have been poorly executed.

Missing Roof Shingles

This is the most obvious sign that your previous contractor did a bad job installing your roofing. A rather newly installed roof should not be missing any roof shingles unless a violent hurricane ripped through Houston. Even then, this isn’t likely when you have a brand new, properly installed roof that is securely in place.

Brookshire Roof Leak

A Brookshire roof leak occurs when roof shingles have been severely damaged, but if your roof hasn’t been around long enough for extensive damage to take place (you can always compare your roof with your neighbor’s), then a roof leak tends to raise suspicions and usually indicates that the roof shingles weren’t fastened properly or that the frame wasn’t built correctly if you live in a new build.

Reusing Old Flashing

It’s not illegal to reuse old flashing when completing a Brookshire roof replacement, but a reputable Brookshire roofer would never reuse old material, simply because of the fact that it would be weaker than the rest of the structure and cause more harm than good. 

What To Do If You Think Your Brookshire Roof Shingles Were Poorly Installed

These signs are very helpful to keep in mind when assessing the roofing job your contractor completed, but the best way to know for certain that your installation was faulty is by contacting our Houston roof experts for a free Brookshire roof inspection.

It’s official–as of this week the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season has begun, and as we wait around to see if any storms begin to form, now is the perfect time to determine if your roof shingles are in acceptable condition. Different types of Kingwood roof shingles last a different amount of time and their condition will play a critical role in how your roof handles the hurricane season. In this article, we will discuss what your Kingwood roof shingles mean for you this storm season.

Signs Your Kingwood Roof Is Damaged

Here are some signs that your Kingwood roof is in bad conditions that may put you at risk of hurricane season roof damage. If the damage is severe enough, we will recommend you get a Kingwood roof replacement.

• Missing shingle granules
• Lifting roof shingles
• Patches of missing shingles
• Cracked, dented, or buckled shingles
• Damp shingles

When your Kingwood roof is perfectly intact, it will have solid roof shingles that lay flat against your roof decking, which keeps out rain, wind, debris, and protects your roof from mold and bacteria.

Entering Your Home

Once critters have torn at the exterior roofing shingles, they can now make their way into your attic, where they may chew up your attic’s wires, insulation, floorboards, and drywall, and make their way into the rest of your home.

When homeowners think of roof damage and Houston roof replacement, they typically think of damage to the exterior, particularly on the roof shingles and flashing, but did you know that your home can also sustain interior Houston roof damage? One type of roof damage we often see is damage to the decking in the form of roof rot–which can take place on the interior and on the exterior. In this article, we will explain what roof rot is, as well as both types of roof decking damage and how our Houston roof experts can help. 

What Is Roof Rot?

Roof rot takes place when the wooden roof decking that lies beneath your roof shingles quite literally rots due to excessive moisture. The decking cannot be repaired and must, instead, be replaced. In some cases, the damage is so severe that you require a complete Houston roof replacement in addition to replacement decking.

Houston Roof Deck Damage From Excessive Storm Damage

It’s no secret that storms are notorious for causing severe Houston roof damage, especially during the hurricane season when winds are fierce. Strong winds like those we experience during the hurricane season tend to rip off loose roof shingles, and when roof shingles are blown off, the underlying layers become exposed and prone to damage from rain and/or hail, which causes leaks in your home. After further storm damage, this material starts to break down and your decking retains moisture, resulting in roof rot. 

Houston Roof Deck Damage Due To Poor Attic Insulation

When exterior damage to your roof isn’t the case, roof rot may occur due to interior Houston roof damage–particularly from within your attic. Attics tend to be very warm and humid without sufficient ventilation, which not only raises your energy bill, but also allows moisture to accumulate and destroy your roof decking from the inside out and risking the effectiveness of your roof shingles. This may result in the need for Houston roof replacement as soon as possible.
