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!

What Our Customers Are Saying

When we had a leak in our roof back in April, I called James. He was very responsive and quick to come out and look at our roof. We had hail/wind damage. James helped us every step of the way while we were in a 3 month battle with our insurance company. He came out to meet with adjusters multiple times, and never hesitated to fight for our roof replacement. In July we finally got our beautiful new roof installed,...

Jordan Hoel

I had purchased my residence a little over 18 months ago and the roof had some unknown multiple small leaks in different places that became apparent with the heavy rain storm. While getting bids to fix the leaks and gain insight about the health of our roof we decided to replace it with either a asphalt shingle roof or a metal roof. I have contacted several roofing companies to get both a 50 year composition roof and a metal roof...
