Trees are great until they’re over the roof
Cedar Park earned its name, and plenty of homes sit under mature oaks and cedars. Shade helps the electric bill, but limbs over the roof drop leaves into valleys and gutters, rub shingles in the wind, and come down hard in a storm. Debris that sits in a valley holds moisture against the shingles and sends water sideways under them.
Keeping trees trimmed back from the roofline and valleys clear is simple maintenance that adds years to a roof.
Hill Country wind and hail
Storm cells coming off the Hill Country can bring hail and gusty wind into Cedar Park with little warning. Wind catches shingle edges along ridges and eaves first. After a storm, check from the ground:
- Shingles that are missing, lifted, folded, or sitting in the yard.
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, vents, and the AC unit, a sign hail hit the house.
- Piles of shingle granules at the bottom of the downspouts.
- Bent or loose flashing around the chimney and roof edges.
- New water stains on ceilings or around upstairs windows.
- Stay on the ground. Don’t climb a wet or damaged roof. Take photos from the yard and call us.
Repair or replace
If the trouble is a valley full of debris damage, a flashing, or one slope, we repair it. If the shingles are worn out everywhere, we explain why replacement is the better spend. We install shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofs, and we handle the gutters that keep all that tree debris moving.
Insurance
We inspect storm and hail damage, document what we find with photos, and can meet your adjuster at the house. We don’t file or negotiate your claim, and nobody can promise what insurance will pay. The claim stays between you and your insurance company.
