Questions
How long should a roof repair last?
Properly executed repairs using quality materials should last several years. Common issues involve wind/hail damage, flashing problems, or material degradation requiring professional diagnosis.
What should I ask a roofer?
Verify RCAT licensing, insurance coverage, local references, years in business, warranty terms, and experience with Texas-specific roofing challenges during consultations.
What should be included in a roofing estimate?
Estimates must detail materials, flashing specifications, work scope, payment terms, and warranty coverage for both labor and materials with clear project timelines.
Is roof drip edge required?
Yes, since 2012 ICC code requires drip edges for proper water management. Retrofitting requires complete roof replacement for proper installation.
How long does a 30-year roof really last?
Texas climate typically reduces lifespan to 15-20 years due to extreme heat and storm activity. Regular inspections help maximize longevity through timely maintenance.
Does new roof lower insurance?
Class 4 impact-resistant roofs qualify for up to 35% insurance discounts through Texas Department of Insurance programs, with proper certification from licensed contractors.
