Common signs include water stains on interior ceilings or walls, especially near chimneys, vents, or skylights after heavy rain. You might also notice visible rust, cracks, or gaps in the metal flashing itself. Given Houston's frequent storms, even minor flashing issues can quickly lead to major leaks, so it's best to have a professional inspection promptly.

Due to our intense sun, high humidity, and occasional hail, asphalt shingles in Houston typically need replacement every 15-20 years. However, we recommend an annual inspection, as accelerated wear from heat and storms can shorten this lifespan. Look for curling, cracking, missing granules, or bald spots, which are clear indicators it's time for a roof evaluation.

For durability against our climate, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles rated for high winds and hail, along with corrosion-resistant metal flashing (like aluminum or galvanized steel). Proper attic ventilation is also crucial to combat heat and moisture buildup, which can prematurely age shingles and undermine flashing seals.
