Main Roofing Issues our Company Typically Sees
When it comes to roofs, Texas takes no prisoners. Roofs in Austin can be damaged by a variety of weather events and environmental challenges, but through a free annual inspection by Agave Roofers, residents can identify small problems before they turn into big ones and have peace of mind when facing the storms this location is known for. Here are the leading issues we consistently face.
Wind
Hail
Trees
Wind
The most frequent of these damaging weather events is wind storms. In some areas, wind gusts routinely surpass 60-70 mph. More than half of all shingle roofs in Austin are 3-tab shingle roofs that are only rated up to 60mph. Once gusts exceeding 60mph are reached, shingles may come loose and fly off, leaving the felt underlayment exposed. If caught early enough through a free inspection by Agave Roofing, a little wind damage isn’t a big deal, but ignoring it will result in the sun destroying the felt underlayment and causing a much larger issue in the form of a roof leak.
Hail
The most threatening and advertised weather event in The Live Music Capital of the World is hail damage. Shingle roofs can be destroyed by these hailstorms. Hail damage usually occurs in the spring and summer and can be a death blow to your shingle roof. The most common misconception we see about hail is that the homeowners don’t understand exactly what the risk is following a hailstorm. When a hailstorm occurs, 100s or 1000s of hailstones will “bruise” your shingles, stripping away the critical granules that protect the interior of the shingle mat from the sun’s deterioration. In the end, the shingles will deteriorate more rapidly, reducing the lifespan of the shingle roof from 20 to 30 years down to 5 to 10 years. You can avoid feeling the consequences of a significant hailstorm if you schedule a free inspection with Agave Roofing. We can find out if your roof was affected and if so, help you to report the damage to your insurance company within statutory period.
Trees
Trees growing near your home are not only beautiful but can also be dangerous to your shingles. There are two types of tree risk. Firstly, everything that the trees drop—leaves, acorns, twigs, and sticks—poses a threat. These elements accumulate in the valleys of your roof, creating a mini dam when it rains. When the water pools, it seeps back up under your shingles and into your home. Furthermore, branches can also be hazardous. As the tree grows, its branches droop down and make contact with the shingles. Shingles are tough but they cannot withstand the constant wear and tear of a living and self-regenerating organism. As the tree sways in the wind, its branches will rub against the shingles, wearing down the shingles and underlayment, which causes leaks. By getting an annual inspection from Agave Roofing, you can avoid this issue altogether. We can ensure that branches are trimmed back at least 4 feet from the roof deck so that no physical damage occurs. We can also blow off any debris to prevent water pooling.
Austin Roofing Services We Provide
We exclusively work on shingle roofs at Agave Roofing and do not work on metal, tile, or slate roofs. We find that this specialization allows us to focus on what we do best and vertically integrate our company in order to provide the highest quality work at the most competitive prices possible. Here are four of the primary services we offer in Austin.
No charge Roofing Inspection.
Whether you have an active problem or just want to know whether your roof is in good shape, we offer free same-day or next-day roof inspections and estimates to Austin homeowners. We’ll provide you with any issues you may have and the repair history of your roof, walk the roof to check for issues, take pictures, and provide you with an estimate for repair or replacement if necessary. We don’t employ pushy commissioned salespeople with limited training. All of our roofers are salaried and have bachelor’s degrees and professional training.
Preventative Maintenance Performed by Expert Roofers
The belief that preventative maintenance is a needless expense is incorrect. In the same way that installing better insulation in your house is eventually cost negative due to savings on your energy bills; preventative maintenance can significantly reduce the chance of needing a costly roof repair in the future. Preventative maintenance can include our free inspections, securing loose and lifted flashing, trimming back encroaching trees, identifying roofing issues before a leak occurs and replacing work out items before they fail. Preventative maintenance is critical to avoid bigger issues in the future by identifying and addressing the problems when they are small or before they happen. Scheduling an Agave Roofing inspection now is the best way to keep your roof maintenance costs down in the future.
Roof Repairs
Your roof might require repairs if you’ve neglected your preventative maintenance or if your home was affected by a severe storm. If you choose Agave Roofers, we always endeavor to provide you with an option for repair. A lot of issues, especially on newer roofs, can be easily repaired and will help you get the most out of your current roof’s life. Additionally, Agave Roofing provides a workmanship guarantee on all repairs, so you will never have to pay twice to have the same problem fixed. We repair a wide variety of issues, but the most typical are fixing leaks, repairing wind or tree-damaged shingles, replacing rotten decking and replacing rotted pipe flashing.
Roof Replacement
If your roof is past its prime or you’ve had serious storm damage, replacing your roof might be necessary. Agave Roofing contractors remove old shingles and underlayment down to the roof deck and then replaces any rotted decking identified. We then install all new synthetic underlayment, roof vents, ice and water shield, shingles, and other roof-specific components. If required, we are capable of completing our initial inspection, estimate and finishing the job in as little as 3-4 days. If your roof is insured, we can provide a free upgrade program in which we upgrade a variety of components of your roof system, including your shingles, to ensure that you receive a longer-lasting and more beautiful roof than you had previously. If you need an estimate for roof replacement, we can offer you a same day or next-day roof inspection and estimate.
