FAQs
After a storm in Mesquite, how do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
It depends on the extent of the damage. We'll conduct a thorough inspection, checking for missing shingles, punctures from debris, and most importantly, any hidden issues like wet or rotting decking. Minor, isolated damage often requires a repair. However, if storm damage is widespread or has compromised the structural integrity of the decking, a full roof replacement is usually the more secure and cost-effective long-term solution for your Mesquite home.
What is involved in reroofing, and is it a good option for fixing storm damage or rot?
Reroofing involves installing a new layer of shingles over the existing one. It can be a quicker option for addressing superficial storm damage on an otherwise sound roof. However, if our inspection reveals any rot in the roof decking—a common issue here after hidden leaks—reroofing is not recommended. Adding weight over compromised decking can lead to major problems. In cases of rot, we always recommend a full tear-off and replacement to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof.
Why is addressing roof decking rot so important during a roof replacement in Mesquite?
The roof decking (or sheathing) is the wooden layer beneath your shingles that provides structural support. In our humid climate, undetected leaks from storms or aging can cause this wood to rot, weakening your home's entire roof system. During a replacement, we completely remove the old roof to inspect the decking. Any soft, warped, or rotted sections are replaced before the new roof is installed. This crucial step ensures your investment lasts and your home remains protected from future Texas weather.
