Top 3 Roofing Issues in San Antonio
San Antonio does face a litany of weather events and environmental challenges that can be damaging to roofs but through a free annual inspection by qualified roofers, residents can identify small issues before they turn into big ones and have peace of mind when facing the storms this area can generate. Here are the top three roofing issues we’ve faced in San Antonio.
The most common of these damaging weather events is wind storms. Wind gusts can easily top 60-70 mph in some areas annually. These numbers are important because more than half of all roofs in San Antonio are 3-tab shingle roofs that are only rated up to 60mph. Once gusts above that limit are reached, shingles can loosen and begin to fly off the roof, leaving the felt underlayment exposed.
If caught early enough through a free inspection by Agave Roofing, a little bit of wind damage is not a big deal, but if ignored, the sun will destroy the felt underlayment and a leak will result.
Clearly the most feared and advertised weather event in Military City USA is hail damage. These storms often creep up in the Spring and Summer and can be a death blow to a shingle roof. The biggest misconception about hail damage is not clearly understanding what harm it does to your roof.
The hail stones are not usually going to make holes in your shingles and decking causing immediate leaking. Rather, 100s or 1000s of hailstones will “bruise” your shingles and knock off the essential protective granules that protect the interior of the shingle mat from deterioration by the sun. This leads to accelerated deterioration of the shingles which is not immediately noticeable but will, in the end, significantly reduce the lifespan of your shingle roof from 20-30 years down to 5-10 years.
It is important to get a free inspection for a potential hail damage repair from Agave Roofing if you believe that your neighborhood has experienced a hail storm. If you wait, you risk being denied by your insurance company for being in violation of your reporting window which is generally 1-2 years from the date of the damage.
The most underrated and silent risk to your roof is the beautiful tree growing in your yard. The risk from trees is two fold. The first risk is everything the trees drop, leaves, acorns, twigs and sticks.
These form together in piles in the valleys of your roof and act as miniature dams when the rain comes. The pooling water works its way back up under your shingles and into your home. The second risk from trees are the branches themselves. As the tree grows, the branches droop down and come into contact with the shingles.
Shingles are tough but they are no match for a living organism that regenerates itself. The tree always wins and as it sways in the wind, the branches rub against the shingles and wear holes in the shingles and underlayment causing leaks. Tree damage is the easiest type of damage to avoid with an annual inspection from Agave Roofing.
We can identify trees that are at risk of growing onto the roof and ensure that the branches are trimmed back at least 4 feet from the roof deck so that no physical damage occurs. We can also blow off all the debris on your roof to prevent water pooling.
Top 4 Roofing Services Our Company Provides in San Antonio
Agave Roofing specialize in shingle roofing. We do not work on metal, tile or slate roofs. We find that exclusively working on shingle roofs allows us to vertically integrate our company to provide the highest quality work at the most competitive price possible. Here are four of the many services that we offer in San Antonio.
Free Inspection By Qualified Roofers
If you have an active emergent issue or even if you just want to know that your roof is okay, we offer same day or next day inspection and estimates for free for San Antonio homeowners. During our inspections we will speak to you about any concerns you may have and the history of your roof, walk the roof completing a 21-point roof inspection, take pictures of any issues we identify and build up and estimate for repair or replacement.
Unlike many other roofing companies, we do not hire pushy commissioned salesmen with only a few weeks of training. All of our roofers are fully salaried with bachelor’s degrees and professional training.
Preventative Maintenance
Some people view preventative maintenance as an unnecessary expense but that line of thinking couldn’t be further from the truth. In the same way that installing better insulation in your home actually ends up negating the cost by cutting down your energy bills, preventative maintenance significantly reduces the chance of a more costly roof repair in the future.
Preventative maintenance that we provide includes light tree trimming, nailing down lifted flashings, sealing exposed nail heads to prevent rust, blowing debris off of the roof and identifying all the little issues before they turn into bigger ones. Scheduling Agave Roofing to provide you with a free inspection is the best way to ensure that you don’t end up shelling out a larger amount of money down the road for more intensive roof repair.
Roof Repairs
If you haven’t kept up with your preventative maintenance or your home was subject to an intense storm, you may need a roof repair. It is important to have a roofing company in San Antonio like Agave Roofing that will offer you a repair option instead of just pushing you to replace your roof. Many issues, especially on a newer roof are easily repairable and will help you get the most out of the roof that is already on your home.
Agave Roofing also offers a 1-year workmanship guarantee on our repairs so that you will never have to pay twice to have the same issue fixed. We offer a multitude of repair types but the most common include fixing leaks, replacing wind/tree damaged shingles, replacing rotted decking, pipe flashing replacement and much more.
Roof Replacements
If your roof has reached the end of its life or you have experienced significant storm damage, a roof replacement may be necessary. At Agave Roofing our roof replacements include complete removal of the old shingles and underlayment down to the deck, replacement of any rotted or damaged decking and installing all new synthetic underlayment, roof vents, ice & water shield, shingles and any other roof-specific requirements.
We can move quickly to complete an inspection, provide an estimate and execute the job. If a roof is being covered by your insurance provider, Agave Roofing offers a free upgrade program where we significantly upgrade many aspects of your roof system including your shingles to ensure you are getting a more beautiful and longer lasting roof than you had before. Set up your inspection with Agave Roofing contractors and we can provide you with a roof replacement estimate the next business day.
