Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I have my roof inspected in Katy?

    Most roofs in Katy should be inspected annually due to frequent storms, high heat, and wind exposure that accelerate wear. After major storms or hail events, scheduling an immediate inspection helps catch damage before leaks develop. At Proroofs and Restoration LLC, we create detailed reports that identify visible damage, wear patterns, and long-term risks.

  • What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with gutters?

    Ignoring heavy rainfall patterns common in the Katy and Houston region often leads to undersized or improperly pitched gutter systems. This causes overflow that damages foundations, siding, and landscaping. At Proroofs and Restoration LLC, we custom-fit seamless gutter systems based on your roofline and local weather conditions to control runoff effectively.

  • What affects the cost of a roof replacement?

    Roof size, material choice, pitch complexity, and extent of underlying damage all influence replacement cost. Texas heat and storm exposure may require more durable materials like impact-resistant shingles. Proroofs and Restoration LLC provides clear recommendations after every inspection, helping you understand what drives pricing and long-term value.

  • How does a roof inspection help with insurance claims?

    A detailed inspection report documents visible damage, wear, improper installations, and storm-related issues with clear explanations and photos. This documentation connects your findings to insurance processes and supports accurate claims. At Proroofs and Restoration LLC, we guide customers step-by-step through insurance-related restoration work with thorough, transparent reports.

  • When should you power wash a tile roof?

    Tile roofs should be power washed when algae, mold, or environmental buildup becomes visible, typically every two to three years in humid Texas climates. Cleaning extends material lifespan and improves curb appeal. Proroofs and Restoration LLC uses safe, controlled methods that remove buildup without damaging underlying tiles or surface integrity.

  • What's the difference between flat and low-slope commercial roofs?

    Flat roofs have minimal pitch and require specialized waterproofing, while low-slope roofs have slight angles that improve drainage. Both are common on offices and retail buildings and need durable systems suited for Texas weather. Proroofs and Restoration LLC works with property managers to minimize business disruption during inspections and repairs.

  • Can seamless gutters prevent foundation damage?

    Yes, seamless gutters with proper flow and runoff control direct water away from your foundation, preventing erosion and long-term structural issues. Custom-fit systems matched to your roofline handle heavy rainfall more effectively than sectional gutters. At Proroofs and Restoration LLC, we pair gutter installations with roofing services for complete drainage solutions.

  • How long do asphalt shingles last in Texas heat?

    Asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 25 years, but intense Texas heat, UV exposure, and storm activity can shorten lifespan. Choosing proven materials designed for high temperatures and wind resistance improves durability. Proroofs and Restoration LLC installs systems built to withstand local Katy-area weather with strong warranties and visible improvements.

  • Why pair window replacement with exterior painting?

    Replacing windows and painting exteriors together ensures proper sealing, consistent color transitions, and reduced labor time. It also improves insulation, curb appeal, and energy efficiency in one coordinated project. At Proroofs and Restoration LLC, we manage exterior work under one team to avoid juggling multiple contractors and ensure clean, lasting finishes.

  • What preparation is needed before a roof replacement?

    Clear vehicles, outdoor furniture, and decorations from around your home to protect them from debris. Trim overhanging branches and secure loose items in your yard. Inside, consider removing wall hangings in upper rooms, as vibrations may occur. Proroofs and Restoration LLC provides clear next steps after every inspection to help you prepare confidently.

  • Do commercial roof inspections require business downtime?

    Most commercial roof inspections cause minimal disruption and can be scheduled outside peak hours. Inspectors assess flat and low-slope systems, identify wear or damage, and provide reports for property managers without interrupting daily operations. Proroofs and Restoration LLC coordinates inspections and repairs with your business schedule to maintain productivity and safety.

  • How does power washing prepare surfaces for repainting?

    Power washing removes algae, mold, dirt, and loose paint, creating a clean surface that helps new paint adhere properly and last longer. This step is essential in humid climates where buildup accelerates. At Proroofs and Restoration LLC, we pair power washing with painting and exterior upgrades to deliver smooth, durable finishes.
