Roofing in McAllen, TX

After spring hail, a cracked tile on your roof still looks right from the street. Your stucco hides the flashing at chimneys and parapets, so we open those details.

Local conditions02

What houses in McAllen actually deal with

McAllen sits in zone 2, about 50 minutes from Rio Grande City. The travel rule that applies in zones 3 and 4 does not land on a McAllen job. What moves your number here is the roof line and the material, not the drive.

Central McAllen is mostly single story homes from the 1970s and 1980s, already on a second or third roof.
The newer subdivisions north of town have cut-up roof lines, and valleys are where leaks usually start.
Clay and concrete tile are common here, and the tile almost always outlives the underlayment beneath it.
Stucco walls hide the flashing at chimneys and parapets, so we open those details instead of guessing.
Shingle and tile sit on the same McAllen block, and the shingle roofs show the heat years before the tile ones next door do.
Spring hail cracks tile in place, and a cracked tile still looks right from the street, so a McAllen claim needs someone on the roof.

Permits and requirements

Re-roof permit requirements change from one Valley city to the next. We confirm what McAllen asks for at your address before we quote, and we pull whatever is required.
Windstorm inspection rules belong to the coastal counties, so they rarely come up on an inland McAllen address. We still check it by address rather than assume.
If your subdivision has an association, it may have its own rule on roof color or material. We ask for that in writing before any material is ordered.

Which homes has David Aceves helped build?

Homes built by Cuates Construction, with David Aceves on the build. Look at the roof lines, the eaves and where the roof meets the walls: David plans a roofing job with that same eye.

Questions we get04

What people in McAllen ask us

My McAllen house is from the 1970s. Can the framing hold a tile roof?

Not every frame from that era is sized for tile. Tile weighs several times what shingle weighs. We look at the rafters, the spans and the ridge from inside the attic before pricing. If the frame needs reinforcement, that line shows on the estimate. If the math does not work, we say so and quote metal or shingle instead.

Do you re-roof McAllen homes that have a low slope section behind a stucco parapet?

Yes, and shingle does not belong on that section. A low slope area gets a membrane rated for it, not the same material as the pitched field. While the roof is open we also check the parapet cap and the scuppers. On homes built this way, the leak usually starts at the parapet rather than in the middle of the roof.

How does attic ventilation change what I pay for a roof in McAllen?

It can add a line to the estimate and it usually pays for itself. A McAllen attic with turbines on top and nothing open at the eave cooks the shingle from underneath. We count the intake at the soffit against the exhaust at the ridge. If the balance is off, we price the fix with the roof instead of leaving it for later.
