Even well-constructed, properly installed roofs that still have decades of life left can suffer damage from severe weather, unforeseen accidents or localized wear and tear. Other roof features, like vents or flashing, may fail and require replacement or repair before the rest of your roof does. The bottom line is there are many scenarios in which roof repair is preferable to total roof tear off and replacement. In fact, you should be leery of roofers who encourage you to just get roof replacement if your roof is only 15 or 20 years old. If it’s not impacted by severe hail or wind, a properly constructed roof should last for at least 25 or 30 years.
Detail-Oriented Roof Inspections & Leak Detection
One of the features that can make roof leaks particularly pernicious is the mystery behind its source. The tensile strength of water, combined with the complexity of attics and the beams supporting your roof, can result in water from a roof leak traveling significant distances before staining ceilings or causing water damage inside your home.
Our roof repair specialists have the eye for detail and know-how to seek out the source of the leak and any other weak spots that could potentially be troublesome in the future.
Shingle Replacement
Although shingle damage or wear is often uniform, the orientation or features around homes can potentially cause some shingles to degrade more rapidly or make them more prone to damage than the rest of your roof. Strong winds or storms can also tear off or damage asphalt shingles, especially when they’re not properly installed, or the shingles don’t have a high wind rating.
Our team can help with shingle replacement and even match current shingles to minimize the aesthetic impact of having a new section of shingles on your roof.
Flashing Repair
There’s a surprising amount of diversity in flashing materials, with some offering better weather protection and longevity than others. At the upper end of the spectrum are materials like copper and stainless steel that are known for their exceptional durability and longevity. At the lower end are plastic and rubber flashing, which are easier to install but more vulnerable to UV damage and fluctuating temperatures.
We can replace or repair worn or damaged flashing with better materials to eliminate leaks around all types of roof penetrations.
Storm Damage Repair
Storms are a constant threat in The Woodlands and the Greater Houston area. From hurricane and tropical storm-strength winds to hail and unrelenting rain, local homes in our community are often subjected to the fiercest conditions nature can throw at a structure.
In addition to excelling at comprehensive storm damage repair, we also have a 24/7 emergency storm response team who can come out fast, even in the middle of a stormy night, to apply temporary tarp patching in order to protect your home’s interior. Once conditions have cleared, our team can quickly return and provide more permanent and long-lasting solutions.

Company founders Matt and Shannon Perkins come from the insurance world, where they were both independent field adjusters performing roof inspections for claims. Their passion for pursuing a customer-centric approach to roofing services comes in part from seeing denial after denial of roof damage claims that should have rightfully been approved and covered.
This experience is a value-add for our clients in a few important ways. First, we know how to inspect for damage because we have decades of experience on both sides of the claims process. Second, we are familiar with the types of roof damage that are commonly missed or underreported. Third, and maybe most importantly, we understand the roof damage claims process inside and out and can ensure proper documentation and reporting, increasing the likelihood that your claim will be honored.
There’s no obvious one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It really depends on your situation and roof. For example, if your roof is only 10 years old, has localized damage and your insurance claim will only cover a repair, it’s likely best to stick with roof repair. However, if the roof is constructed using low-quality shingles and poor craftsmanship, it might be better in the long run to have it replaced with a high-quality roof that will last for at least 30 years.
Conversely, if your roof is 25 years old, has shingle curling in many spots, shows signs of hail or wind damage or has been patched in the past, it’s likely better (and more cost-effective in the long run) to invest in roof replacement rather than roof repair.
Transparency and honesty are important attributes for a roofer, which is why reputation is so important in our industry. The team at Perkins Roofing is committed to maintaining good relationships with our neighbors in the community, and one of the ways we do that is by offering honest recommendations as well as quotes for repair and replacement options. We will always strive to ensure you have the advice and documentation you need to make an informed choice on roof repair or roof replacement.
