Historic homes need careful roof work
Salado’s older homes have the steep pitches, dormers, chimneys, and layered additions you’d expect in a town with this much history. Those details are where leaks start, and they need careful flashing work, not quick patches. We take the time to do those joints right.
Trees along the creek
Homes near Salado Creek and in the older parts of the village sit under big, mature trees. Shade is part of the charm, but limbs and leaves over the roof fill valleys and gutters and hold moisture against the shingles. Keeping the roof clear of debris is simple maintenance that pays for itself.
Storms along I-35
Salado sits on the same storm track as the rest of the I-35 corridor. Hail bruises shingles; wind lifts edges and breaks seals. 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 chimney flashing or a valley, we repair it. If the roof is worn across every slope, we explain why replacement makes more sense. We install shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofs, and we also do chimney repair, so the same crew can handle the brick and cap if they’re part of the problem.
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.
