FAQ's

Frequently Asked Roofing Questions

How long does a roof last?

The lifespan of a roof depends on the material used. Asphalt shingles typically last 15-30 years, metal roofs can last 40-70 years, and slate roofs can last over 100 years with proper maintenance. Factors such as climate, weather conditions, and installation quality also play a significant role.

How much does a new roof cost?

The cost of a new roof varies based on its size, the materials used, and labor costs in your area. On average, an asphalt shingle roof can cost between $5,000 and $12,000, while metal roofs can range from $10,000 to $20,000. Premium materials like slate can cost significantly more.

What are the signs of a failing roof?

Common signs that your roof may need repair or replacement include leaks, missing or cracked shingles, granule loss, mold or rot, sagging, and higher energy bills due to poor insulation. Regular inspections can help identify these issues early​.

Does my homeowner’s insurance cover roof damage?

Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover structural damage caused by perils such as hail, wind, fire, and falling trees. Coverage details vary by policy, and some conditions or exclusions may apply. It’s essential to review your policy and consult with your insurance provider.

How long does it take to replace a roof?

The time it takes to replace a roof depends on its size, complexity, and the type of materials used. Generally, a roof replacement can take from one day to a few days. Weather conditions and the need to remove existing materials can also affect the timeline.

How often should I inspect my roof?

It’s recommended to inspect your roof at least twice a year, preferably in the spring and fall. Regular roof inspections, especially in the Houston area help identify potential issues early. Additionally, inspect your roof after severe weather events like hailstorms or high winds. Contact Watt’s Roofing to schedule your roof inspection.

What should I do if my roof is damaged by a storm?

If your roof is damaged by a storm, take immediate safety precautions and document the damage with photos and videos. Contact Watt’s Roofing for an inspection and repair estimate, and file an insurance claim if necessary​

Does Watt's Roofing provide emergency tarping?

Yes, Watt’s Roofing offers emergency tarping services. If your roof has been damaged due to severe weather, fallen trees, or other emergencies, our team can quickly install a temporary tarp to protect your home from further damage. This service ensures that your property remains safe and dry until permanent repairs can be made. For more details or to request emergency tarping, please contact Watt’s Roofing directly.

Does Watt's Roofing offer a warranty on repairs?

Most repairs we perform come with a one year warranty. However, on occasion we encounter situations where a roof repair is not recommended, or able to be done in a way that will resolve the leak with certainty. In this case, we would make our best recommendation to the customer, but ultimately leave the decision up to them. If the repair isn’t recommended but chosen by the customer we would go ahead and do it, with no warranty.
