Texas roofs face some of the toughest conditions in the country—scorching summers, intense UV rays, tornado winds, hailstorms, and even occasional freezes. To make your roof last, you need materials, installation, and maintenance strategies built for the Texas climate.

Choose Roofing Materials Made for Heat
Standard asphalt shingles can suffer in 100+ degree temperatures. Look for:

• Reflective or “cool roof” shingles that deflect UV rays
  
  

• Class 4 impact-resistant shingles to withstand hail
  
  

• Metal roofs, which offer long-term durability and heat resistance
  
  

Proper Ventilation Makes All the Difference
Your attic should be properly ventilated to prevent heat buildup and moisture damage. Without airflow, your roof can warp, your shingles can blister, and your energy bills can skyrocket.

Flashing and Seals Matter More Than You Think
Texas rainstorms can dump inches of water in hours. High-quality flashing around chimneys, skylights, and roof edges prevents leaks and mold growth. Regular inspection and resealing of problem areas can save thousands.

Protect Against High Winds
Texas is prone to sudden wind gusts and tornado activity. Reinforced underlayment, hurricane clips, and proper nailing patterns can keep your shingles secure—even in high winds.

Don’t Ignore Minor Storm Damage
In Texas, a "small" storm can do big damage. A few missing shingles might seem minor but could expose your roof deck to water and rot. Get professional eyes on your roof after every storm to prevent long-term problems.
