This Austin, Texas homeowner had a hole in their roof, and they didn't even know it!
Thankfully, we were able to locate it and replace the damaged decking in order to prevent water penetration in the future.
Shingle manufacturers require their shingles to be installed on a nailable surface in order for your warranty to apply; this is why it's important for your roof to remove all underlayment, and, if necessary, replace any damaged decking.

Traditional roofing practices are outdated & leave Austin homeowners exposed to damage from snow, ice, and water in the wintertime.
Most roofers are still using regular valley metal and flashing to protect sensitive areas of your roof; however, as snow and ice become more common in Central Texas, old-fashioned valley metal can actually make water leaks more likely to happen when ice builds up in valleys and along the edges of your roof.
Ice & Water barrier provides extra protection with powerful adhesive that creates a seal over sensitive areas to prevent water from reaching the decking of your roof, preventing water damage, leaks, and rot more effectively than valley metal alone.

Did you know that a roofer's mistake could violate the 30+ year warranty that comes with premium materials? One common way that some roofers cut corners is by leaving the previous underlayment intact before installing brand new shingles.
This is a very bad practice for many reasons:
1) old underlayment can hide existing decking damage that could compromise a brand new install
2) shingle manufacturers have strict installation requirements, and reusing old underlayment often violates your warranty
Much of this goes right over the heads of homeowners -- literally! -- because they don't KNOW what their roofer SHOULD be doing, and they can't SEE if their roofer is adhering to all requirements.
This is why transparency is core to our operations. We aim to educate our community, document our work, and then maintain a long-term relationship so that you can rest easy under your brand new roof.

We prefer architectural shingles over three-tab shingles because they offer better security against wind damage and other weather events like hail, which is common in Central Texas.
In this video, we explain what is the difference between Class 3 and Class 4 shingles, and also why we prefer Malarkey brand for all of our architectural shingles.
Are Class 4 shingles worth it? What are the benefits of Class 4 shingles vs Class 4 shingles?
For Class 3 impact testing, a 1.75-inch steel ball is dropped onto the shingle from 15 feet; the underlying mat of the shingle must remain undamaged.
For Class 4 impact testing, a 2-inch steel ball is dropped from 20 feet, and the underlying mat must also remain undamaged.
Also, in Texas, the Department of Insurance provides a form that roofers can complete for homeowners who have Class 4 shingles installed.
Submitting this to an insurance company can result in a discount on monthly insurance premiums.

At Red Oak Roofworks and Restoration, we're committed to protecting your property throughout the roof replacement process.
One of the main ways we do this is by deploying a Catch-All system around the perimeter to protect your garage doors, exterior appliances, outdoor decor, and sensitive foliage.
The Catch-All System is a portable mesh net that can be set up without screws, nails, or clamps to protect your property from debris and damage. This system catches nails, shingles, and material scraps to keep them away from sensitive areas around your home.
Roofing is a naturally messy process, but we are committed to keeping your property safe and leaving your home and yard clean when we're finished.
If you need roof inspections, repairs, or replacement in Austin or the surrounding communities, we would love to serve you!
@gracetoyou Thank you John for the way you represented His Kingdom. I look forward to the day I get to meet you in heaven. You truly are a great representative of what Jesus thought.
Our hearts are heavy, yet rejoicing, as we share the news that our beloved pastor and teacher John MacArthur has entered into the presence of the Savior. This evening, his faith became sight. He faithfully endured until his race was run.
