What's your roof doing?
Pick the one that sounds like your week. We'll tell you what usually causes it, what you can safely do right now, what we'll look at, and what happens next.
There's a water stain on my ceiling
Ceiling stain · act this week
A stain is a symptom, not a diagnosis
Water on the ceiling usually means water in the deck, but not always from the roof. We check the roof first and the two other usual suspects before anyone opens drywall.
What usually causes it
- A failed pipe boot, flashing, or a lifted shingle above the stain
- HVAC condensation from an attic air handler or a clogged drain line
- A plumbing supply or drain line in the ceiling or attic
- Wind-driven rain at a vent or ridge
What you can do right now
- Put a container under active drips and move what's below the stain
- Photograph the stain with today's date; it helps if this becomes a claim
- If an attic air handler sits above it, check the drain pan for standing water
- Don't open the ceiling or get on the roof yourself
What we look at
- The roof directly above the stain: boots, flashing, fasteners, shingle seal
- Attic side: underlayment, decking moisture, HVAC pan and drain line, plumbing
- Every slope checked for related damage
- Whether this is a repair, a claim, or not a roof problem at all
Book a repair visit. Most leaks are traced and diagnosed on the first trip, and if it's HVAC or plumbing we tell you so you call the right trade.
Book a repair visitHail or wind just hit my neighborhood
Storm damage · document first
Get it documented before you sign anything
After hail or wind, the order of operations protects your house and your claim: document, protect, then decide who does the work.
What usually causes it
- Hail bruising and granule loss you can't see from the ground
- Wind-lifted or creased shingles that will leak later, not today
- Dented vents, gutters, and soft metals that prove the event
- Debris impact at ridges, valleys, and penetrations
What you can do right now
- Photograph ground-level damage now: gutters, screens, debris, hail with something for scale
- If it's leaking, call us; emergency tarping is typically part of the claim
- Keep receipts for anything you do to stop the loss
- Don't sign with the first crew at the door
What we look at
- Every slope photographed, plus a walk of the roof
- Test squares for hail, creased shingles for wind, soft metals for the date
- A photo set you can hand to your insurer
- An honest read: claim, repair, or nothing
Get a free storm inspection. If there's a claim, we prepare a construction estimate and discuss what we observed with your adjuster on site.

Wear or damage · honest read
Rough-looking isn't the same as done
Shingles in the yard after a windy week can mean a small repair or the start of the end. The difference is what the fasteners, mat, and granule loss look like up close.
What usually causes it
- Seal strips failing with age, so wind lifts the tabs
- Nails driven high or overdriven at install
- UV and heat cycling that dries out the mat
- A previous repair that didn't match the original
What you can do right now
- Collect and photograph what came down
- Note where on the roof it came from, if you can tell from the ground
- Cover exposed areas only if you can do it safely from a ladder; otherwise wait for us
- Hold off on spray sealants and patch products
What we look at
- Fastener condition and seal on the affected slope
- Granule loss, cracking, and remaining life across the whole roof
- Flashing and penetrations, where most leaks actually start
- Whether a repair holds or you're patching a roof that's finished
Book a free inspection. If it's a repair, we say so. If it's time, you get a firm number and a timeline in writing.
Book a free inspectionMy roof is old and I'm planning ahead
Planning ahead · no rush
Good. Planned roofs cost less than emergencies.
If your roof is 15 to 20 years old, or you're buying, selling, or budgeting, an inspection now gives you a number and a timeline instead of a surprise.
What usually causes it
- Age alone: most Houston asphalt roofs are on borrowed time past 20 years
- Insurance carriers asking for roof age or an inspection at renewal
- A sale or purchase where the roof is in the negotiation
- Budgeting a replacement into next year
What you can do right now
- Find out when the roof was last replaced (permit records or the previous owner)
- Look for granules in the gutters and any daylight in the attic
- Ask your insurer whether a Class 4 shingle earns a discount
- Gather your HOA's roofing requirements if you have one
What we look at
- Remaining life, honestly, with photos
- Options: repair and wait, or replace, with what drives the price
- Ventilation and decking that a new roof depends on
- Shingle lines, colors, and warranty tiers that fit the house and budget
Schedule a free inspection and get the options in writing. No pressure, and the number holds.
Plan a replacementInsurance sent me paperwork I don't understand
Insurance paperwork · bring it to us
Bring us the scope. We'll translate it.
A scope of loss is written for adjusters, not homeowners. We'll walk yours line by line and flag anything the documentation shows that the scope missed.
What usually causes it
- A claim was filed and the scope came back short
- A denial or underpayment you don't understand
- A supplement request the carrier hasn't answered
- A deductible question, or a contractor who offered to 'handle' it
What you can do right now
- Save every letter, email, and the full scope of loss
- Don't sign an assignment of benefits or a contingency agreement without reading it
- Don't accept a check as final if you're unsure what it covers
- Know that Texas law prohibits contractors from waiving or absorbing your deductible
What we look at
- Photo documentation of the damage, compared to the scope
- A construction estimate for what the roof actually needs
- Line items the documentation supports that the scope left out
- Whether this is worth pursuing or better handled as a repair
Book a free claim review. We prepare the documentation and discuss what we observed with your adjuster. We are not a public adjuster and can't guarantee coverage; the decision is your insurer's.

Commercial · multifamily · HOA
Send us the property list.
For a property manager the problem is rarely one roof. It's a portfolio, a board, residents, and a budget cycle. We work that way.
What usually causes it
- A leak at a seam, penetration, or termination on a low-slope roof
- Aging TPO, modified bitumen, or built-up systems past their service life
- Storm damage across multiple buildings at once
- Deferred maintenance showing up as interior damage and unit turns
What you can do right now
- Tarp or dry-in active leaks; we can triage by phone
- Pull the roof age and any warranty paperwork you have per building
- Note occupied units and access constraints
- Request our vendor packet for your file
What we look at
- Complimentary roof inspection per building with a photo report you can file
- Leak tracing to the actual source, not the stain
- Condition-based capital planning across the property
- A fixed-cost written scope with phasing and resident protection

Clear scope. Clear expectations.
Most of the questions people have are about what happens after they say yes. Here is the whole sequence.
Free inspection
A personal walk of the roof with every slope photographed. You get the photo report either way.
Options in writing
Repair or replace, laid out with what drives the number: roof size and pitch, layers to remove, decking condition, materials, and access.
Scheduling
Materials ordered, a date set, and a weather plan. Rain moves the date, never the standard.
Build day
Landscaping, AC units, and driveways protected before the first shingle comes off. Debris hauled daily, magnetic nail sweep at the end.
Closeout
The punch walk with final photos, warranty paperwork, and any windstorm documentation that applies.
