Roof Replacement in Brazoria County, TX

Heat, sun and humidity are hard on roofs here. Shingles dry out, lose granules and curl, dark streaks of algae spread on the shady side, and attics that are poorly ventilated bake the roof from below. When the roof is leaking in several spots or the shingles are brittle, replacement may make more sense than another repair.

When you compare estimates, ask what wind rating the shingles or metal panels carry and whether they will be installed to the manufacturer's high-wind instructions, whether old layers will be torn off and the decking inspected, what ventilation is included, and whether algae-resistant shingles are an option. Ask about permits and, on the coast, the windstorm inspection.

Get at least two written estimates and take your time deciding unless the roof is actively failing.
