Texas weather is hard on roofs. Between hailstorms, high winds, and intense summer heat, shingles take a beating year after year. Catching problems early can be the difference between a small repair and a full replacement.
1. Missing or Curling Shingles
Walk your property (or use binoculars) and look for shingles that are missing, cracked, or curling at the edges. Curling usually means the shingle is at the end of its life or was exposed to poor attic ventilation.
2. Granules in the Gutters
Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. If your gutters look like they're full of coarse sand, your shingles are wearing out.
3. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
Brownish stains on interior ceilings typically mean water is already getting past the roof deck. Don't wait — moisture in the attic also leads to mold and insulation damage.
4. Sagging Roof Deck
A visible dip or sag in the roofline suggests structural moisture damage in the decking underneath.
5. Age Over 20 Years
Most asphalt shingle roofs in South Texas last 15–20 years. If yours is older, an inspection is cheap insurance.
