A Formidable Re-Roof in the Silvercreek Community
Manvel, TX
This roof in Manvel, Texas, is a great example of a complex job that simply can’t be rushed. Unlike other basic “up and over” roofs, this steep and two-story home had every possible challenge. We call this type of roof “cut-up,” because of all the many different angles and planes.
There were plenty of vertical and horizontal roof walls that required meticulous, detailed flashing installations, multiple intersecting planes and valleys, dormers, and other smaller penetrations such as skylights, chimneys, and wind turbine air vents.

Insurance Claim & A New Roof
Texas City, TX
Matt Dravis contacted the client and let him know that he could inspect the roof for further damages and help him file the insurance claim for a new roof.
The customer immediately recognized the value in getting a new roof, especially when any repairs necessary would be equal to or greater than his deductible. We were able to install the bulletproof StormShield Preferred system on his new roof in Texas City, TX.

Two-Story Reroof in the Firethorne Neighborhood
Katy, TX
This partial two-story home in Katy, Texas, is a good example of a fairly complex residential roof job. The Katy home had suffered hail damage. The homeowner was referred to our company by a previous customer in the same neighborhood. We helped the homeowner file an insurance claim for a new roof and helped them obtain a loan to assist with the insurance deductible.
After removing approximately 3700 square feet of the old roofing material, we installed the exact same GAF High Definition style shingle, including the same previous Charcoal color.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it’s time for a roof replacement?
Most standard asphalt shingles last for 15-25 years. If your roof is over 15 years old and is showing signs of wear (missing or damaged shingles, curling shingles, sagging roof deck, algae streaks, missing granules), then it may be time for a new roof. Typically, if more than 25-30% of your roof has damage, we recommend a full replacement.
How do you protect my property during a roof replacement?
Respecting your home and landscaping are important to us. We made a custom covering for AC units so that they don’t burn during the replacement. Additionally, we have a rigorous cleanup process so that you don’t find spare nails or debris in your yard after the project.
What warranties do you offer?
We provide a standard in-house 5-year labor warranty across most projects. Full GAF roof replacements come with either a Silver Pledge or Golden Pledge warranty, which include a 10-year and 25-year labor warranty, respectively.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, you can finance your roofing project through our trusted partners, Wells Fargo and Finturf, offering flexible payment options—including terms of up to 240 months—to fit your budget.
