Escoto Construction | Roofing Services in Houston, TX 77034

Our comprehensive roof inspection is designed to catch early signs of moisture intrusion, which is the main cause of roof decking rot. We meticulously check for damaged or missing shingles, compromised flashing, and areas where water can pool. By identifying these vulnerabilities early—often before you see a leak inside—we can recommend targeted repairs to seal your roof, protect the underlying decking, and prevent costly structural damage common in our local climate.

Flashing is the metal barrier that seals joints and transitions on your roof, like around chimneys, vents, and valleys. In Houston, thermal expansion from heat and torrential rain can cause flashing to separate, leading to major leaks. During any roof repair, replacement, or skylight installation, our team pays special attention to flashing. We use high-quality materials and precise installation methods, ensuring a watertight seal that can withstand our local weather extremes and protect your home's interior.

If our inspection finds isolated damage, a repair is often sufficient. However, widespread roof decking rot indicates that the roof's structural foundation is compromised. In these cases, a partial or full roof replacement is the safe, long-term solution. We'll remove all damaged decking, install a new, solid substrate, and then apply a new roofing system. This process, whether a tear-off replacement or an overlay (reroofing) where structurally sound, ensures your home is fortified against future Houston storms and humidity.
