Roofing in Roma, TX

If your house sits inside the historic district, a new roof can add a review step. We get that answer before ordering material, not after.

We repair and replace roofs in Roma, about fifteen minutes west of our Rio Grande City base. That keeps Roma in our same day zone. Downtown masonry needs flashing and wall detail work. North of town the calls are 1990s shingle roofs that the heat has finished off.

Local conditions02

What houses in Roma actually deal with

A re-roof in Roma carries no travel line, because zone 1 covers this town and our own yard alike. The travel rule starts out in zone 3 and zone 4, past Weslaco toward the coast. What sets your number here is the roof itself: squares, pitch, how many layers are up and what the decking looks like once it is open.

  • Roma has two housing stocks. Downtown is old brick and masonry. North of US-83 the subdivisions are newer frame homes.
  • North of US-83 the subdivisions went up in the 1990s. Those roofs are on their first replacement now, and nearly all of them are shingle.
  • On the older downtown buildings the roof meets a masonry wall. That joint leaks long before the field of the roof does.
  • Homes built before plywood was standard have plank decking. The gaps between boards change how underlayment and fasteners get set.
  • Summer roof surface temperatures pass 160 degrees here. Hail and straight line wind arrive between March and May.
  • Roma is inland, so salt is not the enemy. Heat, hail and wind are what shorten a roof in Starr County.
Permits and requirements
  • Re-roof permit rules are set city by city. We read what your Roma address needs before the estimate goes out, rather than quoting around it.
  • A new roof changes what the house shows from the street, and on an address inside the historic district that can add a review step. We get that answered before material is ordered, not after.
  • A Roma re-roof carries no windstorm inspection. That requirement follows the coastal counties, and Starr is not one of them.

Questions we get04

What people in Roma ask us

Can you re-roof a house in the Roma historic district?

Yes, and the plan starts at the walls, not the field. Old masonry and the joints around it decide where water gets in. We photograph those joints, price the flashing as its own line and confirm any review your address triggers.

My deck is plank boards, not plywood. Does that change the roof job?

It changes what goes over it. Board decking has gaps, so fastener holding power and underlayment choice both shift. We check the deck from the attic before we quote. If sheathing over the boards is the better call, we say so in writing.

How soon can you get to Roma after a hail storm?

Roma is fifteen minutes from our yard, so a hail call here is a short drive and not a route across the Valley. We tarp the open sections first and measure once the weather clears. The claim stays in your hands, and we show up for the adjuster appointment on the date you set.
