By having a professional come and inspect your roof yearly, you help increase your chances of finding any potential issues before they turn into bigger problems that will cost more money to fix down the line.

Below are some popular basic roof maintenance services that Mancha Roofing provides to the Boerne, Converse, Helotes, & San Antonio, TX neighborhoods:

Inspection of Shingles: The state of Texas can experience some wild weather patterns from time to time, from the risk of hurricanes on the coast to high winds and tornados further inland. Both of these extreme weather events can wreak havoc on your residential or commercial property's roof. Having a contractor come out yearly, or after major storms to check the condition of your shingles can help you prevent any cracking or holes that allow outside elements into the interior of the property.
Moss & Algae Treatments: In Texas, the warm summer weather mixed with patches of shade on your roofing makes for the perfect conditions for moss and algae to grow over time. These growths can damage the shingles and caulking on your roof and make your property look neglected and dirty. For commercial properties, clients may feel like bringing their business elsewhere if they notice that the outside of your office is not well maintained. Luckily algae and moss are easily removable, and professionals can dry out your existing roof and help you to take preventative measures by applying different products throughout specific problem areas.
Clean Out Gutters: With the high winds experienced from time to time, debris is bound to get blown around. This includes being lodged in your property's gutters, which can create problems in their purpose. Removing debris from your gutters is a common and simple basic roof maintenance service for professionals, but can be dangerous if performed by someone who is not specially trained to operate ladders. Different debris can also become stuck in the hard to reach places that are not openly exposed, therefore it is always smart to leave the cleaning process to a contractor.

Trimming Nearby Branches: As plants and trees grow, they can begin to crowd your property leaving you at risk for an accident. With unexpected storms or high winds, branches and limbs can be dislodged from surrounding trees which can heavily damage your property's roof. By scheduling regular inspections, our contractors can determine which limbs pose a potential risk, and have them properly removed and disposed of in a safe and ethical way.

If you believe that your residential or commercial property in San Antonio, Converse, Helotes, or Boerne, TX may benefit from one or more of these basic roof maintenance services, we highly suggest giving us a call today. We can find a time that works around your schedule and help you make responsible choices for protecting your roof and property.

What is the Process for Roof Installation?

22 Jun, 2023

There is a lot that goes into the process of properly installing a roof, which is why you should hire professional roofing contractors. Here’s the process to install a roof: Remove & discard the old roof - To start our roofing contractors will take off the old roof and throw away or recycle those materials. Since roofing shingles can be recycled, most roofing companies or homeowners do recycle them. Check if repairs are needed - Depending on the severity of the damage our roofing contractors may need to do a few repairs before laying down the underlayment for your new roof. If your roof was damaged by a storm, then the structure of your home may need to be repaired. Install underlayment - An underlayment is a layer that protects your roof from getting unwanted moisture under your roof. For even more peace of mind, our roofing contractors will add a felt or tar sheet over the underlayment to act as an extra layer of protection from moisture. Putting down the roof cover - The roof covering is made up of whatever roofing material you decided to go with for your home, so it could be asphalt, metal, or some other material. Our roofing contractors will be precise during this step of the roof installation process because it’s the layer that will be seen by the public. Seal with flashing - Flashing is a material made of metal that is used to do one last seal around chimneys or windows to keep moisture from getting in and causing things to rust and mold. Covering the ridge - The ridge is the middle of your roof where the two sides of your roof meet. Our roofing contractors will use special materials to seal your roof during this step of the roof installation process.
