Exterior Services in Spring, TX (Montgomery County)

Trees are part of what makes this area so attractive, but they change how a home weathers. Shaded roof slopes can grow algae and moss, which hold moisture against the shingles. Pine needles collect where two roof planes meet and act like a sponge, slowing water down right where it should drain fastest. Gutters fill quickly, and when they overflow, water runs down the fascia and siding instead of away from the house.

Storms raise the stakes. Strong spring thunderstorms and the outer bands of tropical systems can snap limbs or bring down whole trees. Even a glancing blow from a branch can crack shingles, puncture siding or shatter a window. Keeping an eye on overhanging limbs and having a contractor you trust before the next storm both pay off.

When we replace a roof in a wooded neighborhood, we pay close attention to the details that handle debris and moisture. That includes clean, well-flashed valleys, full underlayment over a sound deck and balanced attic ventilation so heat and humidity can escape. Shaded roofs dry slowly, so good airflow underneath the deck matters even more than it does on a sunny lot.

If your roof only needs targeted work, such as replacing a cracked pipe boot or a section damaged by a fallen limb, we will tell you so. Our goal is the right fix, not the biggest invoice.

Algae streaks are another common sight on shaded Spring roofs. Those dark stains are mostly cosmetic at first, but they signal a surface that stays damp. Trimming back overhanging branches lets in more sun and air, and it also keeps limbs from rubbing against the shingles every time the wind picks up.

North- and east-facing walls in Spring can stay damp for days after rain. Over time, that is hard on wood and hardboard siding. James Hardie and LP SmartSide both resist rot and moisture far better than older materials, and we install them over a proper weather barrier with careful flashing at every opening.

Windows are often updated at the same time. Foggy double-pane units and drafty frames make rooms uncomfortable and raise cooling costs. We offer Pella 250 Series windows along with the Energy Master Series, PerfeXion and 1800 Series impact windows. Impact windows are worth a look if you want extra protection from wind-borne debris during storm season. Visit our window and door replacement page for more on the options.

Gutters work overtime in a pine-covered neighborhood. Undersized troughs and too few downspouts overflow during a heavy storm, sending water over the edge and into flower beds, along the slab and down the face of the siding. We install seamless gutters sized for the roof area they drain and add or relocate downspouts so water exits away from the foundation. Larger downspouts are also less likely to clog with needles, which means fewer trips up the ladder for you. Our gutter and downspout page explains the options.

After a damaging storm, many homeowners are unsure where to start. We inspect the exterior, take detailed photos and put together a written scope of the damage. If you file a claim, we can be on site when the adjuster inspects your home so nothing is overlooked. Coverage decisions are made by your insurance company, and we never offer to cover or waive a deductible, which Texas law does not allow. Our insurance claim assistance page outlines the process.
