Essential Roofing Replacement Questions

We have answered thousands of homeowner questions across Lubbock, Abernathy, and regional communities. Here are the clear facts you need before replacing your home's roof.

How do I spot hail damage on shingles?

Should I choose architectural shingles or metal?

Hail damage is rarely visible from your driveway unless stones exceed golf-ball diameter. Look for bruised or dimpled shingles with dislodged granules, dented gutter spouts, and fractured ridge caps. We offer complete photographic storm inspections.

Heavyweight Class 4 asphalt shingles provide outstanding hail resistance and cost efficiency, while standing seam metal roofing delivers superior longevity and wind deflection. We install both systems engineered specifically for high heat and dust.

How does the insurance claim process work?

Do you tear off old roofing layers completely?

After severe weather, contact us for an initial roof assessment before filing. We document every impact mark, meet your insurance adjuster on the roof to ensure all damage is cataloged, and complete the replacement within policy guidelines.

Yes, always. We never shingle over old decking or degraded underlayment. Full tear-offs allow our crews to inspect structural sheathing for moisture rot, replace deteriorated decking, and install heavy synthetic underlayment plus ice and water shield.

Built For The Plains

Engineered For Dust, Sun, and High Winds

West Texas roofs endure more thermal shock, blowing silt, and high-velocity wind than almost anywhere in the country. That is why proper intake ventilation and sealed perimeter drip edges are mandatory on every project we build.

Our crews live and work right here in the South Plains. When we install your new roof, we secure every shingle line and metal flashing seam to withstand decades of harsh Panhandle weather.
