We take good care of our customers! Before we begin any tear-off work, we lay down tarps to control the mess and protect landscaping. During the roofing process, we use a rolling magnet daily to collect stray nails that might injure people or pets, and we replace all turbines, pipes, and stacks to give your entire roof a brand new look.

Signs that your roof is failing include: sagging or buckling decking, missing/lifting/curling shingles, shingle granules in gutters, dark mold or moss, exposed nails, interior ceiling water stains, points of daylight showing around chimneys or vents in a dark attic, or a roof that is 20+ years old. We perform a free inspection and give you an honest assessment.

Absolutely. With our free estimate, you'll know the exact cost of your roof installation or repair. We take care of all the necessary permits and work with you when you're waiting for insurance payments.

Three-tab shingles are single-layer strips that provide a flat, uniform look and are budget-friendly. Architectural (dimensional or laminate) shingles are thicker and heavier, made from multiple layers sealed together to create a three-dimensional look with greater durability and a longer warranty.

Water tends to puddle on flat or low-pitch roofs (common on commercial buildings, carports, patios, and older homes). Torch-down rubber consists of two or three layers of an asphalt and rubber compound heated to form a watertight seal that expands and contracts with East Texas temperatures without cracking—and without the awful smell of hot tar.

Metal roofing is durable, long-lasting, fire resistant, low maintenance, and available in a wide variety of colors. It reflects the sun's rays to reduce summer heat (and may qualify for energy-saving tax credits), and its cost is recovered in both roof lifespan and increased property value.

Reroofing adds new roofing over existing shingles (allowed only once by building codes, and only if the decking is solid with no leaks or decay). Because major problems often recur with reroofing, a full tear-off and roof replacement—which averages a 105% return on investment—is usually the better choice.

We respond to estimate requests as quickly as possible—usually within 24 hours. For even faster same-day service, call us directly at (903) 797-2756 or (903) 790-5693.
