Roofing FAQ

Here are straight answers to the questions Katy homeowners ask us most about roof repair, replacement, storm damage, and insurance. If you don't see yours, reach out through our contact page and we'll answer it directly.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

It depends on how much of the roof is affected and how much service life it has left. A repair usually makes sense when the damage is localized, the shingles are otherwise in good shape, and the roof isn't near the end of its lifespan. Replacement is the better value when there's widespread hail bruising, repeated leaks in several areas, or the roof is simply worn out. A free inspection will give you a clear, honest answer.

What drives the cost of a roofing project?

The main factors are the size and steepness of your roof, the materials you choose, the extent of the damage, and whether any decking underneath needs to be replaced. Accessory components like flashing, vents, and valley metal also factor in. We give you an exact, itemized written estimate up front so you can see where every dollar goes.

How does the hail and insurance claim process work?

After a storm, we inspect the roof and document any wind or hail damage with photos and measurements. You use that documentation to file your own claim with your insurer, who sends an adjuster to assess the damage. We provide documentation only, we don't file or negotiate claims for you, and our detailed report gives your insurer clear evidence of what the storm did. See our insurance claim help page for the full process.

Can you cover or discount my insurance deductible?

No, and you should be cautious of any roofer who says they can. Under Texas law, the homeowner must pay their own deductible, and it is illegal for a contractor to waive, cover, absorb, rebate, or discount it. We will never make that offer. We give you honest documentation and an exact written estimate so you know your real costs, including your out-of-pocket deductible.

How long does a roof project take?

Most repairs are completed quickly, often in a single visit once materials are on hand. A full roof replacement on a typical Katy home is usually finished in one to a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and the weather. We give you a realistic timeline with your written estimate.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Our installations are backed by a workmanship warranty on the labor, and the roofing materials carry the manufacturer's own warranty. Installing to manufacturer specifications is what keeps that material warranty valid, which is exactly how we install.

Is the roof inspection really free?

Yes. Our roof inspection is free and comes with no obligation. We show you photos of anything we find and explain your options plainly. If your roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that too.

When should I get my roof inspected?

After any significant Gulf Coast storm, since wind and hail damage is often invisible from the ground, and any time you notice interior water stains or missing shingles. It's also smart before buying or selling a Katy-area home. Catching small problems early is almost always cheaper than repairing the water damage they cause.
