How do you know if you need a repair or a full replacement? While we always try to repair when possible, there comes a point where a patch job is just throwing money away.

Here are the clear signs you need to call Tekton Exteriors:

• Age of the Roof: Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–25 years. If yours is approaching two decades, it’s living on borrowed time.
• Curling and Buckling: If the shingles look like they are peeling up, their adhesive has failed.
• Granule Loss: Check your gutters. If they are full of what looks like black sand, your shingles are deteriorating.
• Daylight in the Attic: Go into your attic during the day. If you see pinholes of light coming through the roof deck, you have a major problem.
• Sagging: A drooping roofline suggests structural issues with the decking underneath. This is an emergency.

Replacing your roof is a significant investment, but the returns are immediate. When you choose Roof Replacement Services in Baytown, TX – Tekton Exteriors, you aren't just spending money; you are upgrading your asset.

• 1. Increased Energy Efficiency Old roofs trap heat. Modern roofing systems are designed with better ventilation and reflective granules. A new roof can actually lower your air conditioning bills during those scorching Baytown summers.
• 2. Skyrocketing Curb Appeal Your roof makes up about 40% of your home’s visible exterior. Replacing an old, faded roof with high-definition architectural shingles instantly transforms the look of your house. It increases resale value immediately.
• 3. Safety and Security There is no price on sleeping soundly during a thunderstorm. Knowing your roof was installed by licensed professionals using the best materials means you don't have to wake up to check for leaks.
• 4. Manufacturer Warranties New installations come with new warranties. We work with top-tier manufacturers to ensure you are covered for decades, not just years.

We can talk about technical specs all day, but sometimes it helps to hear a real story.

Last spring, the Miller family, living just off Garth Road, noticed a small stain on their living room ceiling. Like many homeowners, they ignored it at first. Then came a heavy timeline of storms in May. That small stain turned into a steady drip. The Millers were panic-stricken.

They called **Tekton Exteriors**. We came out the same day to tarp the area and stop the water intrusion. During our inspection, we found that their 22-year-old roof had significant hail damage that had gone unnoticed, leading to rot in the decking.

The Solution:

We guided the Millers through the material selection process. They opted for a weather-wood color architectural shingle. Because the damage was extensive, we also helped them document everything properly for their records.

The Outcome:

We stripped the old roof, replaced the rotted wood, and installed the new system in just two days. The Millers not only stopped the leak but also reported that their upstairs bedrooms felt cooler that summer.

"We didn't just get a roof; we got our home back," Mrs. Miller told us. This is what we do. We turn stressful situations into secure solutions.
