Roof Repair Services in Bryan, Texas

Many homeowners assume they need a full replacement when repairs can be a cost-effective solution. Signs that indicate repair is enough include isolated leaks, missing shingles, or minor storm damage. However, if the roof has widespread damage, sagging, or is near the end of its lifespan (typically 20-30 years for asphalt shingles), replacement may be the better option. A professional inspection helps determine the best course of action.

Texas weather can be harsh on roofs. The most common causes of damage include high winds, hailstorms, extreme heat, and heavy rainfall. Over time, UV exposure can weaken shingles, while sudden storms can cause leaks or missing shingles. Poor installation or lack of maintenance can also contribute to early roof deterioration. Routine inspections and timely repairs help prevent costly damage.

Delaying even small roof repairs can lead to bigger problems, including water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. A minor leak can quickly spread, compromising insulation, ceilings, and walls. The longer repairs are postponed, the more expensive and time-consuming they become. It’s always best to address roof damage as soon as it’s noticed to avoid costly replacements.

It depends on the cause of the damage. Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover roof repairs if the damage is caused by sudden events like storms, hail, or falling trees. However, insurance may not cover wear and tear or neglect-related issues. Stinson & Stinson Roofing can help document the damage, provide necessary reports, and guide you through the claims process to maximize coverage.

Some roof damage isn’t visible from the ground. Common hidden issues include soft spots on shingles, water stains on ceilings, attic moisture buildup, and granule loss in gutters. If you notice an increase in energy bills, it could indicate poor insulation due to roof damage. Regular professional inspections catch these hidden problems before they escalate.

The duration of a repair depends on the extent of the damage. Small repairs, like replacing a few shingles or fixing minor leaks, can be completed in a few hours. More extensive repairs, such as fixing major leaks, replacing flashing, or addressing storm damage, may take a full day or more. Stinson & Stinson Roofing provides a detailed estimate and timeline after assessing your roof.

Yes, roof repair can be noisy, especially when shingles are being removed or nailed down. However, most repairs are completed quickly, minimizing disruptions. If you work from home or have pets sensitive to noise, it’s best to plan accordingly. Our team works efficiently and communicates clearly so you know what to expect throughout the repair process.

Many people think that if a roof isn’t leaking, it doesn’t need repairs. However, small issues can develop over time, leading to significant damage before leaks appear. Another misconception is that DIY fixes, like using tar or sealants, provide long-term solutions. In reality, improper repairs can worsen damage and void warranties. Professional repairs ensure the longevity of your roof.

Yes, extreme summer heat can make roofing materials brittle, while winter storms can cause ice damming, leading to leaks. Spring and fall are the best times for roof repairs, as moderate temperatures allow materials to seal properly. However, urgent repairs should never be delayed due to the season—our team is equipped to handle repairs year-round.

High-quality shingles, underlayment, and flashing are essential for durable repairs. Impact-resistant shingles are ideal for Texas storms, while metal flashing provides extra leak protection. We also use top-grade sealants to ensure longevity. Cheap materials may lower costs initially but can lead to recurring issues. At Stinson & Stinson Roofing, we use only high-quality materials for long-term durability.
