Roof Repair
& Tune-Ups
If you want your car to get you to and from your destination safely, it’s important to keep it in good repair and give it regular tune-ups. Your roof is very much the same. Alco Roofing provides numerous roof repair services that can prevent small problems from becoming disasters. Whether you need to replace a few shingles or you’ve noticed a significant leak, our team has you covered.
Repair vs. Tune-Up
Roof repairs and roof tune-ups are two different services that are both designed to accomplish the same goal – a solid roof that will keep your home protected from the harsh Texas elements. Roof repairs address issues that have already occurred, such as storm damage, leaks, or missing shingles. On the other hand, a roof tune-up is designed to address issues before they require potentially costly repairs. Scheduling regular roof tune-ups is a phenomenal way to save money on repairs in the future.
- Hail Damage – Texas is no stranger to severe weather of all kinds, including large hail. We provide hail damage repairs in and around the Austin, TX area.
- “Shiners” – A shiner is a nail that has missed the roof’s frame and instead penetrated through the roof. Our team excels in spotting and fixing shiners quickly and efficiently.
- Flashing Problems – Flashing failures can lead to serious structural damage, but the team at Alco Roofing can provide you with professional flashing repair and installation.
- Damaged Vents – If your roof vents are made of plastic, the Texas heat and UV rays from the sun can make them brittle over time. If you need your vents repaired or replaced, Alco Roofing can help.
- Leaks – Roof leaks can occur for a variety of reasons, so if you notice the telltale signs – a wet spot on the ceiling, for example – let the professionals at Alco Roofing handle the repairs.
Just as giving your car a tune-up can extend its life and save you money on expensive repairs, the same can be said for a roof tune-up. It is a form of preventive and proactive maintenance that involves a thorough inspection and, in some cases, some very minor repairs. Your roof tune-up might include:
- A Roof Inspection – A team of qualified roofers will carefully inspect your roof for any problems potential problems just waiting to happen.
- Waterproofing – The team may apply caulk, adjust flashing, or perform a variety of other tasks to help ensure that your roof is completely waterproof.
- Gutters – The team will ensure that your gutters are properly sloped and that they are not clogged.
- Debris removal – Sometimes debris can lodge itself under loose shingles or bits of flashing. During a tune-up, roofers will remove this debris and ensure that the shingles and flashing are in good condition.
- Shingle Replacement – If our team finds loose or damaged shingles, we will replace them to help prevent leaks in the future.
A tune-up may also include a mold inspection and the removal and replacement of any bent or loose nails that could pose problems in the future.
