Frequently Asked Questions

Metal roofing typically lasts longer and offers superior energy efficiency, while asphalt shingles provide a more traditional look at a lower initial cost. Metal reflects heat better in hot climates, making it popular in Central Texas. At B&B Roofing & Construction, we help customers choose based on budget, property type, and long-term goals.

If your roof has widespread damage, is over 20 years old, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued patching. Missing shingles in multiple areas or visible sagging also indicate it's time for a full replacement. We assess the extent of wear and tear to recommend the best solution.

New roofing materials with modern reflective coatings reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs during hot Texas summers. Metal roofing and energy-rated shingles provide better insulation and ventilation. At B&B Roofing & Construction, we install options designed to enhance both comfort and property value.

Cracked or missing shingles, damaged flashing around chimneys and vents, and general wear from intense sun exposure are common causes. Heavy storms and hail also create vulnerabilities that allow water infiltration. We repair these issues promptly to prevent interior damage and mold growth.

Yes, localized damage like a few missing shingles, small leaks, or isolated flashing issues can often be repaired without replacing the entire roof. This approach saves money and extends the roof's lifespan when the overall structure remains sound. At B&B Roofing & Construction, we provide comprehensive assessments to determine the most practical solution.

Delaying repairs is the most common error, as small leaks and minor damage quickly escalate into costly structural problems and interior water damage. Waiting also voids warranties and reduces the roof's overall lifespan. We recommend scheduling inspections after severe weather to catch issues early.

Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to three days, depending on the size of the property and material type. Weather conditions and the complexity of the roof design can extend the timeline slightly. At B&B Roofing & Construction, we work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality installation.

Both metal and asphalt shingles perform well in Central Texas, but metal roofing excels in extreme heat due to its reflective properties and durability against sun damage. Shingles rated for high wind and impact resistance are ideal for storm-prone areas. We tailor material recommendations to local weather patterns and customer preferences.

Flashing damage appears as rust, cracks, or gaps around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof valleys where water can seep through. You may also notice water stains on interior ceilings near these areas. Repairing damaged flashing quickly prevents leaks and protects the roof structure underneath.

No, metal roofs with reflective coatings actually reduce heat absorption and keep homes cooler by reflecting sunlight away. They also allow for better attic ventilation compared to traditional shingles. At B&B Roofing & Construction, we install energy-efficient metal roofing that lowers cooling costs in hot Texas summers.

A new roof improves curb appeal, enhances energy efficiency, and reassures buyers that major structural maintenance is complete. It also reduces insurance costs and prevents costly repairs down the line. Roof replacement is one of the highest-return home improvements, especially when selling in competitive markets.

Comprehensive repairs address cracked or missing shingles, leaks, flashing damage, and wear from weather exposure. We inspect the entire roof to identify hidden issues and prevent future problems. At B&B Roofing & Construction, we ensure all repairs restore structural integrity and extend your roof's lifespan.
