Before you decide
A few good questions.
How long do roofs typically last?
Central Texas UV, heat, thermal cycling, and hail shorten roofing life compared with manufacturer marketing ranges. Asphalt shingles have a broad 10–20-year range; product and installation affect where a roof falls within it. Standing-seam metal commonly lasts 40–70 years. Tile and slate can last 50+ years as materials, though the underlayment beneath tile needs replacement sooner. TPO membranes commonly last 20–30 years. Ventilation, installation quality, and maintenance affect the life a particular roof delivers. These are material ranges, not a diagnosis of an individual roof.
What steps are involved in a comprehensive roof inspection?
A thorough inspection includes examining shingles, flashing, ventilation, gutters, and checking for leaks or structural damage.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
Inspections are complimentary for most homeowners. If extensive attic access or detailed documentation is needed, we quote a flat rate upfront. Scheduling depends on availability, weather, and safe access.
Do you Offer Warrantied Roofing Work?
Roof replacements carry Zilker Roofing's 5-year workmanship warranty, and repairs carry a 2-year workmanship warranty. The manufacturer's material warranty is separate; its coverage depends on the product and installed system. We document the applicable terms in writing.
