Yes, shingle curling is very common here, primarily due to our intense, prolonged sun exposure and dramatic temperature swings. The heat causes the asphalt in shingles to dry out and shrink, leading to the edges curling upward. This compromises the roof's ability to shed water and can lead to leaks. At Castle Roofing, we inspect for this specific damage and recommend repairs or a replacement with premium, heat-resistant shingles better suited for our Texas climate.

Roof decking rot in our area is often the result of long-term, undetected moisture intrusion. This can start with minor leaks from damaged shingles or flashing, which our humid climate then exacerbates, allowing rot to spread in the attic's wooden decking. Fixing it requires a full assessment to locate all moisture entry points. We safely remove the affected decking, treat the area to prevent mold, and install new, sturdy plywood sheathing to restore a solid foundation for your new roof.

Prevention starts with proactive, annual inspections, especially after our severe storm seasons. Key steps include ensuring your attic has proper ventilation to reduce heat buildup and moisture, cleaning your gutters to prevent water backup, and promptly addressing any minor repairs like cracked flashing or a few missing shingles. Castle Roofing offers maintenance plans tailored to San Antonio's climate, helping you catch small issues before they lead to major problems like decking rot or widespread shingle failure.
