Repairing your roof after a hurricane can be frustrating and overwhelming for many homeowners in Houston. Texas customers have taken the time to research and protect themselves from fly by night contractors looking to make a quick buck. Always ask your contractor questions about the installation and what type of roofing materials they will use. Will they use a nails or staples? If nails will be used for the installation, will they hammer by hand or use a nail gun? Hammering by hand takes longer but is a more durable way of installing a roof.

A 1 to 3 year warranty is good for roof labor and anything over that amount is excellent. The main thing to remember when selecting a roofing contractor is the amount of experience they have, how they will install you shingles and your comfort level with the company.
