Frequently Asked Questions

Most asphalt shingle roofs in Central Texas last 15–20 years, though extreme heat and UV exposure can shorten that lifespan. Regular inspections help catch early wear from temperature swings and sun damage. At Escobar Premier Roofing, we recommend materials designed to withstand Texas climate extremes for better durability.

Roof repair targets specific damage like missing shingles or isolated leaks, while replacement involves a full tear-off and new installation. Repair is cost-effective for newer roofs with minor issues, but replacement is necessary when a roof is past its service life or heavily storm-damaged.

Hail damage often appears as dented or bruised shingles, granule loss, and cracked sealant that homeowners may miss. After a storm, a professional inspection can document damage needed for insurance claims. At Escobar Premier Roofing, we specialize in identifying hail and wind damage common to Texas.

Schedule inspections after major storms, before buying or selling a home, or every 2–3 years for maintenance checks. Early detection of leaks and storm damage prevents costly interior repairs. Post-storm inspections are especially valuable after hail events common in Fairfield and surrounding areas.

Cost depends on roof size, material choice, complexity of design, and whether a full tear-off is required. Code-compliant upgrades and storm damage extent also impact pricing. At Escobar Premier Roofing, we provide clear project timelines and guidance on materials suited for Texas weather.

This reduces delays and confusion, especially after hail events. At Escobar Premier Roofing, we have extensive experience working directly with insurance adjusters throughout the region.

Seamless gutters are custom-fit, reduce leaks, and handle heavy Texas rainfall better than sectional systems. Installing them with roof replacement ensures coordinated drainage that protects siding and foundations. It's an ideal add-on for long-term exterior durability.

Impact-resistant shingles and materials rated for high heat and UV exposure perform best in Texas. These withstand hail, extreme temperatures, and seasonal storms common to the region. At Escobar Premier Roofing, we guide homeowners in selecting durable, region-appropriate materials.

Minor repairs like replacing lifted shingles can often be completed within days, while major storm damage may require full replacement over 1–2 weeks. Quick response after storms prevents interior water damage. Escobar Premier Roofing works rapidly after weather events across Fairfield and nearby communities.
