Roofing Services in Santa Fe, TX

You do not need to climb a ladder to spot most early problems. Walk around the house after a storm and look for these:

• Dark vertical streaks on the shingles, usually algae that thrives in humid air and slowly degrades the surface.
• Shingles that curl at the edges or look cupped, a sign of heat stress and poor attic ventilation.
• Granules collecting at the bottom of downspouts or in gutters.
• Missing shingles or exposed nail heads along the ridge and rake edges after high wind.
• Water spots on ceilings, or daylight visible through the roof deck from the attic.

One or two of these can usually be addressed with a repair. Several at once, on a roof that is getting older, often means it is time to plan a replacement.

It also helps to check the attic once or twice a year. On a dry day, look for daylight around nails or vents, dark stains on the underside of the decking and damp or compressed insulation. A musty smell is often the first sign that moisture is getting in somewhere.

On a summer afternoon a dark roof gets far hotter than the air around it, then a sudden shower cools it quickly. That cycle, repeated through a long Texas summer, stresses shingles and sealants. Humidity adds algae growth and keeps poorly ventilated attics damp. And because many Santa Fe properties are open to the wind, shingles near edges and ridges are more prone to lifting when they were not nailed and sealed correctly.

The answer is not just a tougher shingle. It is a complete roofing system: solid decking, quality underlayment, sealed flashing and an attic that can breathe.

• Inspection: we check flashing at chimneys and walls, pipe boots, vents, gutters and the attic, and we look for the cause of any leak, not just the stain.
• Full tear-off: the old roof comes off down to the decking so we can find and replace soft or rotted wood.
• Underlayment: synthetic underlayment covers the deck, with ice-and-water membrane in valleys and around penetrations where leaks most often start.
• Shingles: we install Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles, fastened to manufacturer specifications for wind resistance.
• Ventilation: intake and exhaust are balanced so the attic sheds heat and moisture, which protects the shingles and helps with cooling costs.
• Clean-up: magnetic sweeps and a final walkthrough with you.

Most residential replacements in Santa Fe are finished in one to two days, and we make sure the home is never left open overnight. To learn more about the shingle line we use, visit our roofing shingles page.

When wind or hail damages your roof, we inspect it, protect any open areas and document everything with photos and measurements so your insurance adjuster has what they need. Our storm damage repair team handles the restoration, and our insurance claim assistance helps you navigate the process from the first call to the final invoice.

Some storm damage is easy to miss from the ground. Hail bruises can look like normal wear, and a lifted shingle often settles back down after the wind dies, with its seal already broken. Getting a professional inspection after any significant storm helps you file within your policy's time limits and keeps small problems from becoming leaks months later. If your inspection shows only minor issues, we will tell you so, and repair them without pushing a replacement you do not need.

We work throughout Santa Fe and the neighboring communities of Galveston and Brazoria counties, on homes, outbuildings and small commercial properties. Whether you are in town or out on a few acres, call 832-691-1917 or email info@tektonexteriors.com to set up a free roof inspection.

Acreage properties often include shops, barns and covered equipment areas, and those roofs face the same wind and sun as the house. We are glad to inspect them during the same visit and give you options for repairs or new roofing.
