Summer is almost over and autumn is upon us. That means that winter is right around the corner, with all it’s fury. Now is the time to make sure shingle roof is ready for the rain and cooler weather–not after the first storm. At Cinch Roofing we are prepared to repair or maintain your shingle roof. Here are some things you as the homeowner should consider to determine if you should call us for some early winter maintenance on your roof.

Is Your Roof Old?

Do you know how your roof is? If your roof is more than 20 years old, consider getting it replaced. Old roofs are more likely to be damaged by wind, rain, and hail, causing leaks in the house and making for some miserable nights for you and your family.

Are Your shingle Curling Up?

As shingles age and experience the elements, they can begin to curl around the edges or buckle in the middle. If you look up at your roof from you yard and notice this happening to your shingles, give us a call. Curling or Buckling shingles create places where water can seep into your roof and the rooms below.

Are You Finding Granules in Your Gutter?

Hopefully you will get your gutters cleaned as the fall season begins. If you find a lot of grains from you shingles in your gutters,  your shingles are getting weak. If you notice these things, call us at (832) 598-4245 for pre-winter maintenance.

Texas winds can exceed 100 MPH, even without a tornado. Homeowners should be mindful of possible damage to their roofs, after storms that precipitate strong winds. Not only can debris damage your roof, but wind can actually start to deteriorate aspects of your roof structure. At Cinch roofing, we offer wind damage repair, to residents of Sugar Land, TX. We strongly urge you to have the damage inspected now, so that it doesn’t linger. Here are 3 signs of roof wind damage:

Curling Shingles

Bent shingle corners indicate “curling shingles”. This damage is generally most noticeable on shingles towards the edges of your roof. Curling is problematic because it eliminates the protection from moisture infiltration. This can lead to roof leaks, and further destruction of your roof structure.

Displaced Shingles

Missing shingles are another sign of roof wind damage. Strong winds can actually rip shingles from your roof, and throw them to the ground, or onto a tree branch, etc. Displaced shingles are obvious to spot, as you will see an empty space on your roof. Leaving empty roof spots unattended, can create leakage.

Leaking Roof

Roof leaks should be noticeable to Sugar Land, TX homeowners. Water dripping from the ceiling is one major red flag. Check upper levels of your home, like the attic, for moisture and water spots. Unattended roof leaks can affect your home’s walls and foundation, and become a major financial burden. For this reason, roof leaks require immediate assistance. Call (832) 598-4245 for roof wind damage repair in Sugar Land, TX.

Houston is known for hot summers. At Cinch Roofing we understand the elements, and the problems they pose for your roof. Flat roof owners in particular should be concerned about the Texas summer heat. High temperatures can damage your flat roof. The light from the sun will eat away at the material over time. Living in such a warm climate makes your need for flat roof maintenance all the more important. Call us at (832) 598-4245 for flat roof repair in Houston, TX.

Roof Coatings Can Help

Your flat roof absorbs and holds a lot of heat. If it absorbs too much, it will end up deteriorating quickly. Elastomeric roof coatings are a good remedy for your flat roof’s heat absorption. These coatings will reflect the majority of the heat back into the atmosphere, allowing your roof to breath. Your flat roof needs to remain cool enough that it doesn’t start to affect the temperature within your building. If you notice that your roof has started to deteriorate, or if its showing any signs of leaks, you should call a professional.

Flat roof repair is a job for a professional roofer. If your flat roof has sustained damage from the summer heat, a professional repair is necessary. Cinch Roofing specializes in flat roof repair. Commercial roof owners in Houston, TX can trust Cinch Roofing to get their building back up and running in no time. Heat can be a problem for flat roof’s but the solution is at your finger tips.

When redoing your roof, there are a lot of roofing material options to choose from. While there are a ton of roofing materials, a tile roof is a great choice for a residential roof. Here are some benefits of a tile roof for your residential home.

Durable

A tile roof is a very durable roofing material. They can withstand strong winds and harsh weather. This is important if you live in an area that is susceptible to severe weather.

Fire Proof

A roof is essential in keeping us protected from the outside elements and inclement weather, but we can’t always predict what is going to happen. If you want a roofing material that can provide exceptional protection, tile roofing is the material to go with. It is fire resistant with a class-A rating.

Awesome Insulator

A tile roof is able to keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In Texas, it is important to keep our homes cool when temperatures hit above a hundred degrees. Tile roofing will ensure your home is as comfortable as possible.

Long Life Span

Tile roofs last a very long time, 50 to 100 years or more, making them a great choice if you don’t want to keep replacing your roof.

Variety of Colors, Designs, and Styles

Tile roofing is a great material because customers are able to either have a roof that looks like wood, a Spanish-style roof or have tile that comes in different shapes and sizes. It’s a diverse material that allows customers to have a roof that fits their aesthetic.

Storm Damage Is More Than Just A Nuisance

Texas weather has a reputation for being all over the place, and this past year was no different. Hail storms, major thunderstorms, and even tornadoes have wreaked havoc all over the state. These acts of nature have cost many Texans hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. However, money spent to make repairs shortly after a storm is always less than the money spent to repair problems caused by an un-repaired roof! 

We understand that the task of repairing storm damage is no small task, from dealing with the insurance companies, to picking a reputable repair company. However, we do urge homeowners to act quickly in these situations, as a neglected roof can lead to expensive structural problems throughout your home! 

Don’t Wait To Repair!

Unfortunately, even problems that appear to be minor, such as damaged siding or a few missing shingles, can become very problematic the next time a bout of rain rolls in. For example, a few missing shingles, when exposed to rain, can leave your roof open to leaks that cause mold and wood rot. In fact, leaking caused by missing shingles is often not noticed by the homeowner until there is a very large problem, leaking all the way through the ceiling! Replacing shingles is an easy fix, and allowing a professional roofer to repair the issue is far less expensive than fixing an issue such as rotting wood. Left completely unchecked, that kind of problem can weaken your entire roof, leaving it open to a possibility of collapse!

As unpredictable as Texas weather can be, it is important to make sure your roof is always prepared for the worst. Leaving your roof damaged can put you at serious risk if another large storm comes through. If you have roof damage in Houston, TX, don’t wait to have it repaired! Call (832) 598-4245 for the professionals at Cinch Roofing, and let us help you make sure your home is prepared for whatever Texas throws at it! 

 

With winter fading out, and spring coming in, it may be time to inspect your roof before summer! Proper roof maintenance benefits all areas of your home, such as energy efficiency, and improves the longevity of your roof. Maintain your roof properly to avoid May roof repairs!

Check your Gutters

They say April showers bring May flowers, but April showers can also harm your roof if your gutters aren’t in working order. Take some time to clear any leaves, branches, or other debris from your gutters, and inspect the gutter’s connections to your roof. Look along your gutter line for signs of moisture damage, such as peeling or water stains.

Trim Trees Surrounding Your Roof

An excellent way to protect your roof is to trim the trees that touch or cover your roof before they begin blooming again. They are easier to trim when not covered in foliage, and its better not to rish spring showers knocking branches into your roof.

Have your roof Inspected

Climbing around on a sloped roof is dangerous, so it is best to call a professional for this next part. Have a roofing expert check your roof for damage such as cracking, peeling, or altogether missing shingles. The right inspector will also check for water damage in the creases and corners of your roof, and remove any branches or debris that could  further damage your roof.

With the temperatures diving ever colder here in Texas, it is becoming a wise idea to consider winterizing your roof. Your roof is your first line of defense against mother nature, so it is important to check it and prep it for anything that may strike. While it may seem trivial since we do not get much snow here, there are other winter factors that could affect your roof adversely.

Winter Roof Checklist

• Trim Back The Tree – While it sounds like a hassle, cutting back branches on your tree can actually reduce the likelihood of your home being damaged by a broken branch or debris.
• Insulate Your Attic – The insulation in your attic can wear over time or just become insufficient. Decide whether you need to add to it to keep your home insulated. As an added bonus, your home will retain heat better and keep the cold out.
• Clean The Gutters – Your gutters are what keep your home and roof from water damage among other dangers. Check to make sure they care cleaned out to prevent any back up. If you see any excessive rust or bubbling, it is time for a replacement.
• Have Your Roof Inspected – Your local roofing contractor can be a boon when it comes to winter preparation. With thorough inspection, they will be able to find and repair any leaks. This is very important for winter prep, as any leaks can be exacerbated and more damage can arise if water freezes in these areas.

It may not be getting very cold in the Sugar Land, TX area, but it is a better time than ever to focus a little on your roof’s condition. During the summer months, it’s often too hot to do any kind of outdoor work. However, giving your roof a little TLC now with some fall roof maintenance will mean peace of mind that all is well with your roof. Plus, if you find problems, they will be easier to fix than they would be if they went unnoticed. We have a few steps for maintenance this fall to keep your roof in good condition all year long!

Gutters

A gutter system protects a building’s roof from getting water damage. Leaves, sticks and other debris often find their way into gutters around this time of year, clogging the gutters. However, if the gutter system is clogged, it cannot do its job. Gutters also sustain leaks from time to time. If you notice sagging in your gutters or that they are pulling away from your home or commercial property, call a roofer! Gutter cleaning and maintenance will lengthen the life of your roof and keep it in top shape.

Attic

You don’t have to get on top of your roof to check for holes and leaks. A quick attic inspection can ensure that your roof is secure. Simply look up and check for discoloration or moisture that could signal water damage. Also check for any sunlight coming through holes into your home. Inspecting your roof from the attic is an easy way to tell if there are holes in your roof so you can repair them quickly! This will not only save you money by finding holes early, making for cheaper repairs. It will also ensure that no pests can get into your home. Finding leaks early additionally saves homes from potential mold and mildew growth!

The Green Benefits of Tile Roofing

Tile roofing is a very sturdy roofing material with an excellent clean and vintage look about them. But how will it help your home in TX? Tile roofing lowers the transfer of heat from the sun and loss from your home. It does allow for some heat transfer, keeping winter cold and summer heat out, keeping your energy costs down. Your air conditioner or heater will not have to kick in over drive during the harsh weather shifts.

Being wind resistant, it can more then keep up with our intense windy season! Tiles are designed to lock together, reinforcing your roof and keeping the tiles where they are. The long life of this material is partially attributed to the fact it is made of natural resources and does not deplete as quickly as shingles. It comes in a variety of styles and colors to match your home.

Tile roofing is a great and greener alternative to shingles and other roofing material. Its heat conductivity makes it an asset for many TX homes. If you are interested in tile for your roof in Sugar Land, TX, Call Cinch Roofing Today At (832) 598-4245!
