Professional Roof Repair & Installation Contractors in The Woodlands, TX

A complete approach to roof replacement is about so much more than just replacing the old worn out shingles with new ones. It requires removal of all the underlayment down to a clean roof deck, inspection of the deck and replacement of any damaged decking, and then application of ice and water shield at the roof's most vulnerable leak points, in addition to replacement of as much flashing as can be done without damaging siding or other exterior cladding. This includes replacing all pipe jack boots, vent caps, collars, and bases, as well as the drip-edge and any other accessories. It's important to ensure ventilation is working properly to enhance the life of the roof system. When all components of a roof system are designed to work as parts of a whole, and installed properly, the roof will last longer, and perform better in harsh weather than roofs where the contractor has mixed and matched different brands of products and allows for a margin of error that is unacceptable to Elite Roofers. Only when following the manufacturer's installation instructions 100% and using all their prescribed materials can a roofing contractor truly say they offer a complete roof system.

Most homeowners policies include coverage for roof repairs and roof replacement, when the damage is caused by a storm or other peril. Some policies have different deductibles by peril; sometimes a named storm damaging your home will have a different deductible than fire, flood, hail, or wind. However, most insurance deductibles are lower than the cost of a new roof. If an insured's roof has storm damage that happened during a policy's period of coverage, it's often in the homeowner's best interest to replace the roof through an insurance claim. Additionally, since insurance companies like to reduce risk, they are often willing to discount homeowners premiums for the first five years of a roof's life.

The insurance company can choose to non-renew the policy based on the condition of the roof. If a licensed roofer can provide a photo documented report showing the roof is in good condition, the insurance company may decide to let the homeowner continue having a policy with them. If the roof is in poor condition and needs replacement, it could be considered high-risk and most insurance companies will require a new roof in order to offer an insurance policy. Sometimes, the reason for the poor condition of the roof is storm damage that happened within the policy's period of coverage, and the insurance company will actually pay for bulk of the roof replacement, and the homeowner may only have to pay their deductible.
