Roof Replacement
Many Fresno homes are reaching their first full reroof at about the same time. We strip off the worn shingles, fix any damage below them and put the new roof on, and the crew tidies the site when the job is finished.
Fresno is not a city at all, at least not on paper. It is an unincorporated community in Fort Bend County, counted by the census as its own place, with Missouri City on its western side, Arcola to the south and the Brazoria County line along its eastern edge. Farm Road 521, which used to carry the old Highway 288, runs through it, and State Highway 6 runs along its south side.
For most of the last century it was tiny. A settler from Fresno, California, is said to have picked the name, a post office opened in 1910, and in 1914 the place had 32 residents and a general store. Then the subdivisions came. Fresno had about 6,600 people in 2000, about 19,000 in 2010 and almost 24,500 in 2020.
That growth happened in waves, and the waves decide what your roof needs now. Teal Run got going in the 1980s and picked back up in 1992, with the Estates of Teal Run and Teal Run North following around 1999 and 2001. Winfield Lakes, Andover Farms and Cambridge Falls went up in 2004 and 2005. If your house still has the roof it was built with, that roof is now somewhere between twenty and thirty-plus years old.
Roofing and Exterior Work in Fresno
Roof Repair
Not every older Fresno roof needs replacing. A missing patch of shingles after a windy night, a cracked pipe boot or a lifted edge can often be repaired, and we will tell you honestly when that is the better call.
Siding
Siding on a twenty-year-old house tends to fail at the joints and around windows first, and gaps there let rain into the wall. We replace damaged sections or the whole wall, and the roof and siding can be done as one project.
Concrete
We also do concrete work, such as patios, walkways and driveways. Describe the job when you call and we can look at it on the same visit as the roof.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Twenty-Year Roofs in the 2004 and 2005 Subdivisions
Winfield Lakes, Andover Farms and Cambridge Falls all went up within a couple of years of each other. Houses built that close together got their first roofs at the same time, and they have been through the same storms since. When the shingles on one street start curling, losing granules and lifting at the edges, the street next to it is usually not far behind.
A roof that age is the point where repair and replacement are both on the table, and it is the hardest call for a homeowner to make from the ground. A free roof inspection settles it. We go up, look at the shingles, the vents and the flashing, and give you a free estimate for whatever the roof actually needs.
The Older Houses Around Teal Run
The Teal Run sections are the oldest of Fresno’s subdivisions, and a house there that is still on its first roof is overdue for a hard look. If yours has already been reroofed, the question becomes how well that job was done. We check for shingles laid over old ones, worn flashing and soft decking along the eaves.
An older house is also more likely to need work beyond the roof: gutters that have pulled away from the fascia, or siding that has started to split. We can look at all of it on the same visit.
Storm Damage and Your Insurance
Fresno is in eastern Fort Bend County, open farmland not long ago, and the wind and hail that cross the county reach these roofs too. After a storm we get up on the roof, point out the damage to you and explain how the claim process works. The decision to file is yours, and the claim is between you and your insurance company. We can meet your insurance adjuster at the house to look at the roof, and if your insurer approves the scope, we do the work to that scope.
Why Fresno Homeowners Choose Roofshire
- Your subdivision’s age tells us where to look first. In Fresno the year a subdivision went up says a lot about what to check on the roof.
- Repair when repair will do. If a repair will hold, we tell you so instead of quoting a full roof.
- Roof, siding and concrete together. One contractor for the top of the house, the walls and the ground around it.
- We clean up. We clean up and make sure you are happy with the finished job.
