How to Know When Your Porch or Patio Needs an Upgraded New Roof
Just like the roof of your house, the roof of your porch is exposed to the elements year-round. You can count on the weather in Central Texas to be unpredictable but if one thing is true, roofs catch the most heat. Here at Ideal Precision Roofing, our main tip regarding re-roofing your porch is to catch it before it starts allowing water inside and losing its structural integrity. The first thing that you’ll want to know about the current roof on your porch is how old it is and what material it’s constructed out of. An asphalt shingle roof, one of the most durable and popular, can be expected to last up to 25 years. Another factor is whether the new roof was installed over the old roof or if the old roof was replaced before installation. If the roof was installed over another layer and is older than 20 years, it’s likely time for a replacement. The shingle condition is very important to factor in, as well. Take a good look at the shingles and if any are dried out, curled or broken, it is time for a new roof. Especially, look at the slopes of the porch’s roof due to the direct sunlight that it gets. In those cases, the slope will be the first to degrade. Depending on the quality of the shingles, a complete replacement might be the only option. Also, make sure to check your drainage system. Check the gutters for debris or broken shingles that might be getting in the way of draining your roof. Clogged gutters can lead to bigger issues in the future if not taken care of quickly. If you find that it’s time for a new roof for your porch, contact Ideal Precision Roofing today. We look forward to working with you and earning your business! We are the only call you need to make!
Signs Your Roof Is Suffering From Heat Damage
The Texas Summer sun shows no mercy to our homes. Our roofs especially, are at most risk during the hot and sunny Texas days. While we’re enjoying the pools or inside enjoying the AC, our home’s roofs are being exposed to extreme heat. Heat damage is more common than we might think. When roofs are exposed to extreme heat, it is more vulnerable to leaks, compromised shingles and discoloration.
Heat damage can cause cracked shingles. When shingles crack, the integrity of your roof is extremely compromised. Cracked shingles on roofs make your home so vulnerable to leaks. Heat can dry out and harden shingles and they become brittle and are more susceptible to crack.
Discoloration is another sign of heat damage to your roof. Whether its rust from too much exposure to heat and water or bleaching, if your shingles have changed colors, give Ideal Precision Roofing a call for a free inspection. Your roof could be in danger to bigger issues if not taken care of.
After several days of extreme heat, it is possible that components of your roof could start to melt. If your roof is made of asphalt, a material susceptible to melt in high temperatures, please be in attention to heat indexes.
In the case of inefficient ventilation of the roof, extreme heat can lead to condensation and heat build up on the inside. Direct sunlight can impact shingles and other exterior roofing elements, causing premature wear. If you believe that your roof has endured extreme heat and too much direct sunlight, your roof could be in great danger. Call Ideal Precision Roofing for all your roofing needs. We are the only call you need to make!

What Does a New Roof Cost
When preparing your estimate, roofing contractors consider many variables that are specific to your roof, your preferences, your budget and goals, and even where you live. While you ultimately need to know the overall price of your new roof, roofing contractors get to that estimate by adding up several factors. If you would like a free estimate for a new roofing system for your home, give Ideal Precision Roofing a call! It’s the only call you need to make!
To deliver accurate cost estimate, roofing contractors do the following: Measure the roof, Do an inspection, Recommend products, Calculate costs. Most measurements are obtained digitally, using satellite imagery or drone technology, and include the slope, peaks and overall complexity of the roof. With a thorough roof inspection, contractors are able to assess the condition of your roof and determine the project scope. Next, your contractor will outline the best roofing system materials for your project (shingles, ventilation and accessories) and warranty options. With the information above, professionals from Ideal Precision can bring all the costs together: labor, materials, warranty, and applicable fees and services (permits, preparation, clean up). Ideal Precision is proud to keep our customers informed on costs and honest with what our customers really need. We understand this is a big purchase for your family so we want to make sure you are getting the best deal with the best quality materials and labor. The size of your roof is the most significant cost factor. Divide the square footage by 100 to get the approximate roofing square number for your estimate. A cost “per square” usually includes both materials and installation. According to the U.S. Census, the average residential roof in the United States is 17 squares, or approximately 1700 square feet. Asphalt shingles are the most popular and least expensive type of residential roofing material. A metal roof, or roofs made with wood, slate, clay or solar tiles typically cost more. Roofs made from these other materials may have other benefits, like providing solar power to your home for example, but there are other trade-offs you will want to consider. Remember – in addition to protecting your family and belongings, your roof can represent up to 40% of curb appeal and contribute to the value of your home, too! Your roof is not only an investment for the future of your home, but also for the safety of your family. Call Ideal Precision Roofing for all your roofing and exterior needs! Our honest professionals can provide more information and set up a free inspection/estimate. Ideal Precision Roofing is the only call you need to make!
