Roofing in Brownsville, TX

• —Re-roof permit rules change from one Valley city to the next. Brownsville runs its own desk, and we confirm what your address needs before we quote.
• —A Cameron County address can fall under the windstorm inspection the Texas Department of Insurance runs. The roof is most of what that inspection looks at, so yours gets built to stand up to it rather than patched to scrape past it.
• —The re-roof permit is ours to pull, not yours. No material is ordered and nothing comes off the roof until it is issued, so the tear off date follows the permit instead of the other way around.

Which homes has David Aceves helped build?

Will a new roof help my Brownsville house pass a windstorm inspection?

It can, and that is the point of doing it right the first time. The inspection looks at how the roof is attached, not at how it looks from the street. We photograph the deck, the fastening pattern and the edge metal as we go, so you have a record. What applies to your address gets verified before we scope the work, never assumed.

Which roof fasteners hold up 25 miles from the Gulf?

Coated or stainless, depending on the panel. Plain screws start bleeding rust down a metal roof within a couple of seasons here. The panel outlasts them by decades. The same goes for the nails under shingle and for every piece of flashing. We call out the fastener on the estimate so you are not guessing what went on your roof.

Do you re-roof the older homes near downtown Brownsville?

Yes, and those roofs get opened before they get priced. Many downtown houses have plank decking rather than plywood, with gaps that a modern shingle cannot bridge on its own. Some have two or three layers already on them. We check from the attic first, then tell you whether the deck can stay or has to be sheeted over.
