Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How important are flashings in the re-roofing process?

Flashings are critical connections to protrusions or walls. Proper installation and sealing prevent leaks.

What kind of underlayment should I use?

Use Synthetic Underlayment, which is thicker and more durable than 15# or 30# felt.

Are warranties an indication of how long my new roof will last?

No. Warranties outline the manufacturer’s liability over a set period, but they decrease over time.

What are the best roofing material choices for my house based on weather conditions in Texas?

Texas faces severe weather conditions, including high winds and hail.

Choose products tested to ASTM D 3161 with a 110 mph wind resistance or higher. Ask for UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistant products.

Should I inspect my roof decking during replacement?

Yes. Inspect the decking when the roof covering is removed and replace damaged sections.

Consider using thicker decking (5/8" plywood) for better wind resistance.

Can a secondary water barrier be installed before the new roof covering?

Yes. Install self-adhering flashing tape or polymer bitumen strips on top of joints in your roof deck.

ICE DAMS

Preventing ice dams on your roof is crucial to avoid damage. Here are some steps you can take:

Increase Ventilation

Ensure proper attic ventilation to keep the roof temperature consistent.
Cold air movement under the roof helps prevent ice dams.
Use ice and water shields in all valleys.

Cap the Attic Hatch

Seal the attic hatch to prevent warm air from escaping into the attic space.

Examine Exhaust Systems

Ensure exhaust vents (such as bathroom fans) are properly sealed and vented outside.

Check Insulation

Adequate insulation minimizes heat escape, reducing the risk of melting snow forming ice dams.

Install Chimney Flashing

Proper flashing around chimneys prevents water infiltration and ice dam formation.

Caulk Leaks

Seal any gaps or leaks in the roof, especially around vents and pipes.

Inspect Ducts and Lights

Ensure ducts and recessed lights in the attic are properly insulated and sealed.
