The roof over a house may seem like a part that will last for as long as the house does. But this isn’t true. Roofs have limited lives, and in most cases a roof will last for 16 to 18 years, even though they’re called “30-year roofs.” The lifespan of a roof can also drop because of serious damage from wind and hail, or because of lack of repairs that allowed water to seep into the roof underlayment.

A roof replacement in Katy, TX is a big job and not something you’ll want to undertake unless you need to. But when do you need to? We’re roofing professionals with many years of experience with repair and replacement, and we can shine some light on this topic to help you better understand when you need a new roof.

Signs Your Gutters Needs Repairs or a Replacement

May 22nd, 2023

The job of a roofing contractor isn’t just repairing shingles and replacing roofs. A major part of the job is working with roofing accessories, those components that contribute to how the roof does its job. Roofing accessories include aesthetic parts like skylights and essential parts like flashing and roof vents.

One vital roofing accessory that almost all homes have is gutters. Gutters transport rain from the roof, channel it away from running down the home’s exterior walls, and then send the water through downspouts into the storm drainage system to keep water from flooding over the property.

That’s a lot of work that these seemingly simple installations do, and unfortunately, many homeowners often overlook when they need to schedule gutter services Pearland, TX to fix or replace damaged gutters. We’re here to help with ways you can tell when it’s time to do something about old or broken gutters.
