Roof Repair
A slow leak in a small-town house can go on for a long time before anyone sees the stain. We trace the water back to where it gets in, whether that is a pipe boot, a valley or worn flashing at a chimney, and repair it at the source.
Roofing Wallis homes means a long drive for most roofers in the Houston area, and we are glad to make it. Wallis had about 1,360 people in the 2024 Census estimate and sits in the southern part of Austin County, a few miles south of Sealy on SH 36. Most of the land around it is open farm country, with homes on big lots along rural roads.
FM 1093 runs east out of town toward Fulshear and the west side of the Houston area, and the Brazos River lies a few miles to the east. In a town this size, a house might be decades old on a lot in town or brand new on acreage at the edge, and the roof work looks different for each.
From our office in north Houston, Wallis is about an hour away. We travel out for a free inspection, and if the roof needs work you get a free estimate that spells it out.
Roof Repair and Storm Work in Wallis
Storm Damage
Out here there is often no row of neighboring houses to break the wind, so a storm hits a roof with everything it has. After hail or a hard blow, we check for lifted, creased and missing shingles and show you what we found.
Insurance-Claim Roofing
If a storm damaged your roof, we explain how a claim usually goes. You decide whether to file, and the claim is between you and your insurer. We can meet the adjuster at your house, and when the insurer approves a scope, that is the work we do.
Gutters
Heavy rain off a roof with no gutters lands right beside the foundation and splashes back up the walls. Gutters with downspouts aimed out into the yard keep that water away from the house.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Homes on Open Country Lots
Many Wallis homes stand on wide lots with fields around them. That openness is part of the appeal, and it also means the roof faces wind and sun with nothing to soften either one.
A roof that is exposed on every side tends to wear unevenly. The south and west slopes usually take the most sun, while the side facing the prevailing storm track takes the most wind, so a roof can be fine on one face and failing on another.
Heat, Humidity and Gulf Storms
Wallis is roughly a hundred miles from the open Gulf, near enough that tropical systems still bring long rain and strong gusts as they move inland. Thunderstorms through the spring and summer add hail and sudden wind.
In between, the long humid summers do steady damage of their own. Heat dries out sealants and rubber boots, and moisture that gets under a lifted shingle has months to rot the decking before the next dry spell.
A Roof Repair Worth the Drive
When we come out to Wallis, we look at the whole roof, not only the spot that leaked, so you know whether the repair is the end of it or the first of several.
Nearby, we also work in Sealy to the north and in Eagle Lake to the west.
