  • Roof Leak Repair in McAllenWhere a ceiling stains and where water entered are two different places. It lands on the deck, tracks along the underside of a rafter until a nail or a seam interrupts it, and drops there.
  • Storm Damage Roof Restoration in McAllenA storm here does not behave like a storm in North Texas. Instead of a violent twenty-minute cell, the Valley gets six to ten hours of rain pushed by sustained wind out of one quadrant.
  • Hail Damage Roof Repair in McAllenHail is real in the Valley and it is not the annual event it is up the I-35 corridor. Our hail arrives with spring frontal storms, a few times a decade at damaging size.
  • Wind Damage Roof Repair in McAllenUplift starts at the perimeter, every time. Wind flowing over a roof separates at the rake and the eave, and the suction there is several times what the middle of the field sees.
