Elite Roofers - The Woodlands Roofing Contractor

Roof replacement in The Woodlands is usually needed by the time the roof ages 15 to 20 years. Whether your home has a 25-year shingle, 30-year roofing shingles, or a lifetime warranted complete roof system, insurance companies typically impose coverage limitations on asphalt shingles that are over 15 years old. Considering that shingle are subjected to high heat and other types of severe weather in Texas, their lifespan is diminished. If an aging and brittle roof is struck with hail or high speed winds, enough damage can be done to warrant roof replacement. Installing higher quality shingles, water resistant synthetic underlayment, and waterproofing underlayment at a roof's most leak vulnerable points, positions a roof for longevity. Having a licensed roofing company perform regularly scheduled inspections, maintenance, and minor roof repairs can also extend the life of your roof. It is always a good idea, with the type of weather we have, to schedule a free inspection and find out your roof's condition from a certified roofing contractor in The Woodlands.

Licensed roofing contractors make up only about 10% of all roofing contractors in Texas. The state does not require licensing for roof installation and The Woodlands Township does not require licensing or for roofing contractors to be registered with the township as many other local municipalities do. This means homeowners are left to choose a roofer without any guidance from The Woodlands Township or Montgomery County. The only requirements for The Township are that the homeowner provide the shingle type and warranty information on any roof they are going to have installed. Things that a homeowner can do to protect themselves from doing business with a less reputable roofer are:

• Check Reviews: Read reviews on multiple sites to see what others are saying about the roofer you are thinking of choosing.
• Compare Certifications: Roofing manufacturers offer varying levels of certification. Make sure your roofer has the highest certification available.
• Verify Roofing License: A licensed roofer is required to have an office (not just rent a mailbox), hold valid insurance, pass tests on accounting/business principles, pass tests on roofing practices and materials, and take continuing education courses.
• Visit Their Office: If you can't physically visit their office, and all appointments are handled at your home, it may be a sign that the roofer does not run a profitable business that will be there for warranty service, in the future.
