Frequently Asked Questions

Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of your roof. Factors that can affect timing include weather conditions, roof accessibility, material type (asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or tile), and any structural issues discovered during removal. As trusted roofing contractors in Houston, we provide detailed project schedules and keep you informed throughout the process to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Roof replacement costs in Texas typically range from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on roof size, material choice, complexity, and structural requirements. Asphalt shingles are the most economical option, while premium materials like metal roofing or tile cost more but offer greater durability. The average roof repair cost in Houston varies based on damage extent. We provide free detailed estimates that break down all costs with no hidden fees for our roofing services.

Consider replacement if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread shingle damage, multiple leaks, sagging areas, or granule loss throughout. Other signs include roof damage from hail, wind damage, or storm damage that affects large areas. Repairs are suitable for localized damage, minor leaks, or newer roofs with isolated issues. Our experts provide honest assessments to help you make the most cost-effective decision for your situation.

For Texas's hot, humid climate with severe weather potential, we recommend architectural shingles, metal roofing, or impact-resistant materials. These options provide excellent heat resistance, humidity tolerance, and storm protection. Energy-efficient roofs with solar reflective properties can significantly reduce cooling costs. We'll help you choose materials that balance performance, aesthetics, and budget while meeting local building codes and weather challenges.

For Texas climate, we recommend fiber cement siding (like James Hardie), engineered wood, or insulated vinyl siding. These materials offer excellent durability against heat, humidity, and severe weather while providing energy efficiency benefits. As exterior remodeling specialists, we offer siding installation and replacement services that withstand Texas weather conditions and improve your home's curb appeal and energy efficiency.

Quality siding in Texas typically lasts 20-50 years depending on material. Vinyl siding lasts 20-30 years, fiber cement 30-50 years, and brick can last over 100 years.

Absolutely! Modern siding options, especially insulated vinyl and fiber cement, significantly improve energy efficiency. These materials provide better insulation, reduce thermal bridging, and can lower your energy bills by up to 20%. As exterior contractors, we focus on energy-efficient siding solutions that not only enhance your home's appearance but also create a more comfortable living environment while reducing your carbon footprint.

Energy-efficient windows can reduce your Texas energy bills by 15-25% annually. In Texas heat, windows with Low-E glass, double or triple panes, and quality seals significantly reduce cooling costs. The average homeowner saves $200-500 per year, meaning quality window replacement often pays for itself within 7-10 years while improving comfort year-round. We offer energy star windows that are specifically designed for hot climates.

Window replacement involves removing existing windows and installing new ones in the same openings, typically maintaining existing trim and frame structure.

Quality windows in Texas typically last 15-25 years depending on material and maintenance. Vinyl and fiberglass windows tend to last longer in our climate than wood due to humidity resistance.

In Texas, gutters should be cleaned at least twice yearly - once in spring and once in fall. Homes with many trees may need quarterly cleaning.

We offer options that work well with Texas's heavy rainfall and diverse foliage.

Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site in continuous lengths with fewer joints, reducing leak potential and improving appearance. Sectional gutters use pre-made sections joined together, which are less expensive but more prone to leaks at joints. For Texas's heavy rains, seamless gutter installation provides superior performance and longevity. Our gutter services include both options, with seamless being the preferred choice for most Texas homes.

Yes, modern skylights are excellent for Texas homes when properly selected and installed. Today's energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings, UV protection, and proper ventilation can brighten dark spaces without significantly increasing cooling costs.

Tubular skylights are particularly effective for hallways and bathrooms.

Skylight installation costs in Texas typically range from $1,500 to $5,000+ depending on type, size, location, and roof complexity. Fixed skylights are less expensive than vented or tubular options.
