If your shingles look like they are in disrepair, you can guarantee that they are. Shingles are meant to protect your home, but they can\u2019t do their job if they aren\u2019t in good shape. Check your roof frequently for signs of cracked or curling shingles. If you\u2019ve recently had a major storm blow through your area, look for damage from tree limbs or other debris.<\/p>\n

Note: your gutter system can be a good indicator of the health of your shingles. If you find granules in your gutters, it\u2019s time to call the professionals. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

Moisture or Water Damage<\/h4>\n
\n
Your roof is designed to keep water and moisture out of your home in an effort to prevent damage to your home\u2019s interior or health problems. If you begin to see signs of water or moisture build up inside your home, it\u2019s probably a good idea to replace your roof. Check for peeling paint, mold, and even brown spots on your ceiling. When your roof isn\u2019t doing its job anymore, then it\u2019s time to replace it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Rust<\/h4>\n
The presence of rust on a metal roof can be the result of inclement weather or falling debris. If you notice areas of discoloration, it\u2019s a great idea to have a roof checkup. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Wind or Weather Damage<\/h4>\n
You may need a full roof replacement if your neighborhood dealt with a tornado, hurricane, or another type of violent storm. Look for immediate signs of water damage or visual issues with your roof. If you suspect something might be wrong, don\u2019t wait to call the professionals.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n
Can I repair the roof myself?<\/h3>\n
\n
Yes and no. While some small roofing project can be completed by DIY homeowners, roof replacement and major repairs can be a dangerous and complex process. When in doubt, leave the job (and those safety concerns) in the hands of a certified professional.<\/p>\n
Note: DIY roofing jobs can also void your extended roof warranty. Make sure to contact the manufacturer before starting any DIY roofing projects.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
How long does it take to replace or repair a roof?<\/h3>\n
Every roofing project is different, but you can expect the process to take anywhere from a few hours up to a few days depending on the repair or replacement necessary. At Tomlin Roofing Company, we do our best to provide an accurate estimation of the time your roofing project will require.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Can I have my roof replaced or repaired in the winter?<\/h3>\n
\n
While a roof replacement or repair rarely comes at a good time, if you find yourself in need of roofing work in the middle of the winter, it can become a bit more complicated. In areas that are prone to a lot of snow, mid-winter repairs can be challenging, but in Texas Hill Country, nearly every roofing project can be completed no matter what time of year.<\/p>\n
Note: it might make seem like a great idea to wait for Spring to complete those repairs but know that the longer you wait to do so, the more likely it is that a small problem will turn into a big (and more costly) one.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
My roof leaks. Does it need to be replaced?<\/h3>\n
\n
Not necessarily. Depending on the size and location of the leak, replacing a shingle or two might be all it takes to fix the problem. If you choose shingle replacement as a solution, it\u2019s important to have a professional inspection to verify the decking isn\u2019t damaged. Replacing shingles over compromised decking will only create larger issues in the future.<\/p>\n
When dealing with an older roof, you might find that one leak will turn into many over time. If that\u2019s the case, it might be time to consider replacing the entire roof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
What will a new roof system cost?<\/h3>\n
The price of a new roof system depends on a lot of variables including: the materials chosen, the type and size of building, location, labor costs, the pitch of your roof, and even the time of year. Contact us today for a FREE roofing inspection and our professionals will provide you with the exact solutions (and costs) so that you can make an informed decision. No guesswork involved.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
How long will my roof system last?<\/h3>\n
There are a lot of factors that go into determining how long your roof will last. Most roofs are designed to last between 15 and 25 years although that number vary widely depending on the actual material used, the weather patterns in your area, ongoing maintenance, and the quality of installation. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
