Save for the winter and make this year’s hail damage a thing of the past
The hail season has left your roof looking the worse for wear? One is tempted to wonder if a dent or two can be put off until spring, or whether you will only be adding to the cost of repairs by not addressing them.
We at Texas Plains Contractors are in the business of making sure Panhandle homeowners and businesses do not let hail damage get out of hand. Give us a ring at (806) 450-4457 for an inspection of your roof at no charge.
You will not find more punishing hail anywhere in the country than in the Texas Panhandle. A property owner might feel there is no hurry as fall sets in but to put it off till winter is costly.
Why repair early
Hail does more than put a crack in a shingle or a dimple in the gutter; it erodes what is supposed to be protecting your roof and the damage has a way of insidiously spreading over the coming months. Moisture will find its way through a crack. Let the temperature drop and that moisture freezes and expands, working to open up the crack further. A minor matter becomes a major one once winter is upon you.
If you let hail damage be, you can expect:
- Leaks in the attic or on the ceiling
- Rot setting in on the wood decking
- Mold or mildew to compromise insulation
- Ruined drywall and interior finishes
- Shingles being pried up by ice dams
- Your heating costs to go up with a loss of efficiency
It is better to deal with it now than come to terms with the bill for all the secondary work later.
Act while the fall is here
Our crews can still have a good day of it in the Panhandle with the clement weather and sealants and shingles will cure properly in these moderate temperatures. You do not have that latitude in the winter. Once a hard freeze has set in, shingles are brittle and apt to break during installation. Add in some snow and ice and a project can be put on hold for days if not weeks. And then there is the premium for an emergency call in the midst of a winter storm compared to something you have already taken care of.
Getting it done in the fall means the home is sealed from the cold, lower energy bills and nothing to surprise you.
Make a free inspection pay off
There is granule loss and punctures you would miss from the ground unless you were right on top of them. A professional is called for.
At Texas Plains Contractors we have our GAF certified team doing free estimates and inspections. We make note of what we see so you are not left in the dark when winter comes. Our approach is thorough:
- The condition of the shingles and any loss of granules
- If the seals and flashing are intact
- Damage to gutters and downspouts
- Any soft spots or water intrusion
- Storm damage to the exterior, windows or siding
Then you have a full picture of what is involved should you need to make repairs.
