Richard Story Roofing & Construction | Roofing Services in Midland, TX 79701

In Midland, extreme temperature swings and high winds can cause flashing—the metal strips sealing roof joints—to loosen, corrode, or crack over time. We address this by using heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant materials and employing a meticulous sealing process that accounts for our local expansion and contraction cycles. Our repair or replacement ensures a watertight seal at valleys, chimneys, and vents, which are common failure points.

For our area, we recommend and install impact-resistant architectural shingles with high wind ratings (often Class F or higher). These shingles have a stronger adhesive seal and a dimensional design that better withstands uplift from our frequent strong winds. We also ensure proper installation techniques, including correct nailing patterns and starter strips, which are critical for wind resistance in West Texas.

First, safely document any visible damage from the ground for your insurance. Then, call us for a prompt, professional inspection. We'll provide a thorough assessment of shingle loss, granule wear, or lifted flashing—issues that aren't always obvious. A timely repair from our local team can prevent minor wind damage from turning into a major leak, especially before our next rain.
