HOUSTON – Houston weather isn’t easy on your roof.
From hurricane season to months of scorching heat, your roof takes a beating year-round. The problem? Damage isn’t always obvious, and waiting too long to address it can mean costly repairs down the road.
Houston Life’s Melanie Camp sat down with Carlos Elizondo Jr., owner of Sugar Roofing, to talk about what every Houston homeowner needs to know when it comes to keeping their roof in top shape.
1. After a Storm, Don’t Wait to Check Your Roof
Hurricane season brings heavy rains, high winds, and potential hail — all of which can damage your roof in ways you might not see from the ground.
“Loose or missing shingles, water stains on your ceilings, or even small leaks are all red flags,” Carlos says. “The sooner you check, the sooner you can prevent bigger problems.”
2. Hidden Damage Is More Common Than You Think
Even if everything looks fine from below, a professional inspection can uncover issues that could shorten the life of your roof. Carlos and his team use specialized equipment to find problems before they become major headaches.
3. Houston Heat Is Brutal on Roofs
While storms get all the attention, Houston’s relentless heat is just as tough on your roof. Day after day of high temperatures can cause roofing materials to age faster than normal.
4. A Solar Attic Fan Can Help Your Roof Last Longer
One solution? A solar attic fan.
“By pulling trapped heat out of your attic, a solar fan reduces the temperature in your roof system,” Carlos explains. “That helps extend the life of your roof and even keeps your home cooler.”
5. Special Offer for Houston Life Viewers
Right now, Sugar Roofing is offering a free solar attic fan, a $1,500 value, with the purchase of a new roof with gutters.
