Trusted Roof Repair & Installation Contractors in Rockwall, TX

A Roof Recover is the process of installing a new roof over the existing roofing system. The existing roofing system is left in place, followed by the installation of a separator (typically a board or a sheet) in most cases, and then the new roofing system is installed.

Hail damage, or any other impact related damage, is detrimental to shingles for several reasons. The first is that strong impacts will displace the granules from the shingle. The granules are the surfacing that protects the shingle and gives the shingle it's color. The loss of the granules exposes the asphalt, which will then be exposed to the sun's UV radiation. This UV exposure will break down the asphalt, leading to accelerated aging and premature failure of the shingle. The second reason is that strong enough impacts can fracture the shingle, which gives water a direct path to get below the shingle, which can lead to failures of the roofing system's underlayment and/or roof decking.

Yes. That's the short answer. The longer answer is that it really depends on what kind of damage is assessed following a storm, and what kind of insurance policy and coverage that you have. Examining your deductible is also highly recommended to ensure that you are making the best economic decision based on all of the information. We can help walk you through the process if you think that you have roof damage following a storm that produces hail or high winds.

There's really no "correct" answer to this one. Every commercial low slope roof should be designed to meet the unique challenges of that specific roof. If there was an actual answer to this question, that's the only type of roof we would be installing!

Rockwall doesn't really have any conditions or restrictions that would lead to one roof being significantly better than another. Shingle roofs, metal roofs, slate roofs, clay tile roofs, and low-slope roofs (TPO, PVC, EPDM, Mod. Bit., etc.) will all perform well in Rockwall.
