Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of your roof.

Roof replacement costs in Texas typically range from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on roof size, material choice, complexity, and structural requirements.

Energy-efficient windows can reduce your Texas energy bills by 15-25% annually. In Texas heat, proper windows with Low-E glass and quality seals significantly reduce cooling costs. The average homeowner saves $200-500 per year, meaning quality windows often pay for themselves within 7-10 years while improving comfort year-round.

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.

Replace gutters if you notice rust, cracks, separating joints, sagging sections, water damage near the foundation, or frequent clogs despite regular cleaning. In Texas climate, gutters typically last 15-20 years. Upgrading to seamless gutters can improve performance and reduce maintenance needs significantly.

Yes, we install various gutter protection systems including mesh guards, solid covers, and micro-mesh systems. These reduce maintenance needs and prevent clogs from leaves and debris. While no system is 100% maintenance-free, quality gutter guards can significantly reduce cleaning frequency and protect your investment.

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.
