FAQs
How do I know if my Sweetwater roof needs a full replacement instead of a repair?
Several signs indicate it’s time for a full replacement: shingles that are curling, buckling, or missing; widespread granule loss that exposes the asphalt mat; frequent leaks in multiple areas; sagging roof decking; and roofs that are 20–25 years old. In Sweetwater’s hail- and wind-prone climate, storm damage can accelerate wear. During our free inspection we assess shingle condition, flashing integrity, attic ventilation, and underlying decking. If damage is isolated, we’ll recommend repairs; if 25 % or more of the surface is compromised or the roof is near the end of its life cycle, replacement is usually more cost-effective and ensures long-term protection.
Which roofing materials perform best in Sweetwater’s weather?
For most homes we recommend impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles or Class 4 designer shingles that resist hail and high winds common in Nolan County. Metal roofing (standing seam or stone-coated steel) is gaining popularity because it reflects heat, meets Class 4 hail standards, and can last 40–70 years. Concrete or clay tile offers superior longevity but requires reinforced decking for the extra weight. We evaluate your budget, HOA requirements, and energy-efficiency goals, then present material options with pros, cons, and warranty details so you can make an informed choice.
How long will the roof replacement process take?
Most single-family homes in Sweetwater are completed in 1–2 days. We start by delivering materials and protecting landscaping, remove the old roof, repair or replace damaged decking, install underlayment and flashings, then apply new shingles or panels. Larger homes, complex roof lines, or specialty materials like tile or metal can add 1–3 days. Weather delays are rare but possible; we monitor forecasts and secure the roof each evening to stay watertight. Before we leave, we perform a magnetic nail sweep and final quality inspection with you.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for the new roof?
If your roof was damaged by a covered peril—hail, wind, or falling debris—your insurance policy may pay for replacement, minus your deductible. Cosmetic damage exclusions and ACV (actual cash value) settlements can affect payout, so reviewing your policy is vital. Our team offers complimentary storm-damage assessments, photo documentation, and assistance meeting with your adjuster to ensure all valid damage is noted. If your roof simply reached the end of its service life, insurers typically won’t cover it; however, we can provide financing options and manufacturer promotions to ease out-of-pocket costs.
What is the typical cost of a roof replacement in Sweetwater?
Pricing depends on roof size (measured in squares), pitch, number of layers to remove, chosen material, and any required decking or flashing repairs. In 2024, architectural asphalt shingle replacements in Sweetwater generally range from $4.00–$6.50 per square foot installed. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles add about 10–15 %. Standing-seam metal starts around $8.00 per square foot, while stone-coated steel or tile can exceed $10.00. After an on-site measurement, we provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, permits, and disposal so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement, and who handles it?
Yes. The City of Sweetwater requires a roofing permit to ensure the work meets building code and wind-uplift standards. As your contractor we handle the entire permitting process—including application, fee payment, and scheduling any required inspections—at no additional hassle to you. We also register manufacturer warranties and provide a workmanship warranty covering labor and installation for your peace of mind.
