Roof Repair in Sylvan Beach, La Porte: what actually fails

The waterfront along North Bayshore Drive, a resort destination in the 1920s and 1930s, with the 32-acre Sylvan Beach Park and its fishing pier on Galveston Bay.

Tell us when it leaks

The attic, then the roof

A written account and quote
What failed, what did not, and the repair priced on its own. Anything that can safely wait is written down as such.
The work, then the walkaround
Shingles woven in, flashing renewed rather than smeared with sealant, photographs before and after.
What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Note which rain brings itEvery shower, only a downpour, or only rain with wind behind it. If it is wind, note which side of the house the weather came from.
- Mark where it showsWhich room, which corner, near a light, a vent or an outside wall. A photograph of the stain with a date on it helps more than a description.

Call (832) 520-2505Note 01How long do shingles on a roof last?
National figures rate asphalt shingles at 15 to 30 years, and the older three-tab kind at 15 to 20. Heat, wind and how well the attic breathes all shorten that. Granules collecting in the gutters and curling edges are the signs a roof is wearing through.
Note 02Is a 10 year old roof considered old?
Not usually. On national figures a shingle roof is rated for 15 years or more, so a ten-year-old roof that leaks has normally lost one part, a boot or a flashing, rather than worn out. The leak pattern and a look at the shingles settle which it is.
Note 03Are curling shingles a repair or a bigger problem?
A few curled shingles on one slope are usually a repair, often where heat builds up or water has been getting under them. Curling across whole slopes is the roof wearing out, and you will be told which it is after the roof has been seen.
