Your Brazos Valley Roofing Questions, Answered with Clarity
What is the average cost of a roof replacement in Bryan, TX?
The cost of a new roof depends on your home’s size, materials, and complexity. As a benchmark, sources like This Old House estimate a new 2,000-square-foot roof can range from $9,000 to over $40,000. For insurance claims, the most important number is the one your carrier approves. Our Insurance Scope Proposal is built to match that number, ensuring your only out-of-pocket cost is your deductible.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover my roof?
It depends on the cause. Leaks from a specific weather event like hail or wind are typically covered. Leaks caused by long-term neglect or old age are usually not. Our Diagnostic Assessment is crucial in this process; we meticulously document any evidence of storm damage to provide you and your insurance company with a clear, factual report to validate a legitimate claim.
What is an "Insurance Scope Proposal"?
This is the core of our “No Surprises” financial promise. Instead of a traditional bid, we deliver a comprehensive, line-item proposal that directly mirrors the scope of work and pricing approved by your insurance company. This guarantees your only out-of-pocket cost is your deductible and eliminates the stressful process of comparing competing bids.
Will filing a claim make my rates go up?
In Texas, insurers cannot single you out for a rate increase for filing a “no-fault” claim like storm damage. While it’s possible for a company to raise rates for an entire region after a catastrophic storm, that would affect everyone, regardless of whether you personally filed a claim. Filing a claim is the safest first step to getting the protection you’ve paid for.
What is a deductible?
Your deductible is the fixed, out-of-pocket portion of the repair cost that you are responsible for according to your policy. Our process is designed to ensure there are no costs beyond this amount. We provide total clarity on your deductible from the very beginning.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
While every project is different, our systematic roof replacements on average-sized homes are completed in 2 to 4 days, from site preparation to final cleanup. We provide a specific, reliable project timeline in your proposal so you know exactly what to expect.
What does your "Diagnostic Assessment" involve?
Our assessment is a comprehensive interior and exterior inspection designed to find the root cause of any issue. It’s a meticulous, multi-point process that includes an on-roof examination, an attic inspection to trace water intrusion, and detailed photographic documentation. This is the foundation of our “No Surprises” process.
Do I need to be home during the project?
You do not need to be home for the entire installation. However, we do require you to be present for two key milestones: the initial Diagnostic Assessment, and the Final Walkthrough. This ensures we are perfectly aligned on the scope at the start and that you are 100% satisfied with the outcome at the end.
Is a noisy and messy job site unavoidable?
Absolutely not. While construction involves noise, a chaotic and messy site is the result of a poor process. Our Meticulous Site Preparation is a dedicated step in our method. We protect your property, manage debris throughout the day, and perform a final cleanup, including a magnetic sweep for nails.
How long will my new roof last in the Texas heat?
The longevity of a roof depends on the system. A professionally installed architectural shingle roof is designed to last 15-25 years. A standing seam metal roof can last 50 years or more. We use high-performance roofing systems and our certified installation process ensures your roof lasts its full intended lifespan.
What's the difference between architectural shingles and metal roofing?
Both are excellent choices with different priorities. Architectural shingles offer a fantastic balance of modern aesthetics, proven durability, and value. Standing seam metal offers the ultimate in longevity, energy efficiency, and storm resistance, making it a premium long-term investment. Our role is to be your expert guide in making a confident, educated decision.
What does your warranty cover?
We provide two layers of protection. First, you receive the full manufacturer’s warranty on the materials (e.g., a Lifetime Limited Warranty on shingles). Second, we provide our own multi-year workmanship guarantee that covers the quality of our installation. This is our direct promise to you that the job was done right.
