During a storm in Texas, damaging winds can exceed 50 miles per hour, but even low-speed winds can cause damage to the roof. While well-constructed, high-quality roofing materials can withstand storms better than their low-quality counterparts, any roof is vulnerable to damage during a Texas storm.

An obvious sign that your roof has been damaged in a storm is a leak. You may notice a few drops of water in your attic, or you could have a large hole in your roof leaking water. Most likely, the damage will be somewhere in between for most people affected by a storm. However, one thing is certain: roof leaks do not improve over time. They only worsen, and the longer you delay repairing a leak, the more extensive (and costly) the damage will be.

Strong winds have the potential to displace shingles from their secured positions on your roof, posing a significant issue. Shingles serve as the primary barrier protecting your roof against harsh weather conditions and safeguarding the layers of roofing materials below them.

In the event of missing shingles or if they are slightly lifted following a storm, it is advisable to contact a professional to inspect your roof for any additional signs of damage. Prompt replacement of missing shingles is crucial to maintain the integrity of your roof.

Bald Spots on Shingles

Asphalt shingles are coated with small granules that help them repel water and reflect the sun's harmful UV rays.

Over time, it is natural for these granules to loosen or fall off, and following a storm, your shingles may lose their protective coating entirely. If you observe what appear to be bald spots on your shingles, or if you discover small shingle granules in your gutters or near your downspouts, it is essential to promptly contact a roofing expert.

Clogged or damaged gutters can pose significant risks to your home. It's important to inspect your gutters promptly after a storm. Clear any blockages you find, as they disrupt the natural water flow. When water is unable to move through the gutters, it can overflow, leading to damp piles of leaves and debris accumulating near your home. These damp areas can cause moisture to seep into the wood supporting your roof, potentially resulting in mold growth or wood rot, both of which can compromise the integrity of your roof.

Broken gutters present a different yet equally serious issue. The primary function of gutters is to channel water safely through a downspout and away from your home's foundation. If the gutters are broken, this function is impeded, causing water to overflow into the soil surrounding your home. Excessive water seepage can lead to basement leaks and foundation cracks, both of which are significant and costly problems.

Although we wish there was a simple answer to this question, there are too many variables to give you a solid figure on how much a Brothers Roofing costs. What we can tell you is that:

• Your roofing materials will play a huge role in the cost of your Brothers Roofing. For example, slate tiles are more expensive than asphalt shingles; that means you’ll spend more depending on what materials you choose. Remember, too, that roofs cover your entire home – and even if individual tiles don’t seem to cost a lot, you’ll need a lot of them to cover your Brothers Roofing.
• The extent of the damage to your Brothers Roofing will be a big factor in your total cost. If you need to replace part of your Brothers Roofing, or if you only need shingles rather than a complete tear-off and rebuild, you’ll spend less money than you would if you needed a complete Brothers Roofing replacement.
• We guarantee our work and can ensure that you’ll be satisfied with the finished project, no matter your budget. Our experts will work with you to choose the right materials and complete the work quickly and efficiently.
