Texas Roofing Systems

Not everything on your roof is hail damage... and knowing the difference matters.

In this video, we break down the difference between hail hits and blistering. A lot of new inspectors (and even some contractors) confuse the two. But at Texas Roofing Systems, we’ve been on enough roofs to know what we’re looking at.

Blistering usually comes from poor ventilation. The heat builds up, the shingle forms a blister, and eventually it pops. When that happens, you’ll lose all the granules in that spot and sometimes even see fiberglass showing through. The edges of the blister feel sharp and dry, a big contrast from a soft, hail-hit shingle.

Now, this roof has both. That’s not unusual. But it’s important we document it properly so your insurance claim reflects the actual damage... not just what someone guesses from the ground.

We don’t mess around when it comes to temperature and shingles. Once it drops to 45 degrees or lower, we’re not scheduling any roof installs, not because we can’t, but because it’s not worth the risk.

Shingles are made with asphalt, and when it gets too cold, that material gets hard and brittle. Start driving nails into them or trying to move them around, and you’ll end up cracking more shingles than you install. We’ve seen it happen.

Now, we know the guys up north love to brag, “I did 87 squares in five feet of snow with two broken fingers.” Good for them. Down here in Texas, we’ve only got a handful of cold days a year, so we’re not going to risk your roof or our crews just to prove a point.

Bottom line... we roof when the weather’s right, so your roof lasts longer and doesn’t get torn up in the process.

At Texas Roofing Systems (TRS), we’ve been doing this long enough to know one thing for sure, every roof has rotten wood somewhere. And if a roofer says otherwise, they’re either lucky or they’re not looking close enough.

We’re replacing rotten fascia and decking the right way. No shortcuts, no felt or shingles over soft spots. Some people online might call us heroes for fixing wood, others say we’re doing too much. But we just call it doing the job right the first time.

Rotten wood left under a new roof will always come back to haunt the homeowner. That’s why we take the time to tear out bad sections, replace the decking, and make sure the foundation is solid before we ever lay new shingles.

We stand by our work, we stand by GAF, and we don’t waste time arguing with online critics, we just get the job done right.
