Roofing in Weslaco, TX

A shallow pitch on your brick house lets wind driven rain under the shingle. From March to May, straight line wind lifts it at the rake and ridge.

Weslaco sits 72 minutes east of our Rio Grande City shop, far enough that we schedule roofs there as continuous days on site. Spring hail is what starts most of these jobs. We photograph the damage with dates on the file before your adjuster climbs the roof, so the claim is not built on that visit alone.

What houses in Weslaco actually deal with

Weslaco is zone 3, so a travel line sits on the estimate you sign rather than turning up later. On a roof here the number that really moves is the tear off. A shallow pitch carrying two or three layers takes longer to strip and fills more dumpsters than the square footage suggests, and any decking we replace gets counted and shown separately once the deck is open.

Most of Weslaco was built out in the sixties and seventies, in brick homes with shallow roof pitches.
A shallow pitch drains slowly, so wind driven rain gets under the shingle before it runs off.
Those houses usually gained a carport or a back room later. The new roofline meets the old one in a valley.
Straight line wind in the March to May window lifts shingles at the rake and the ridge, where a shallow pitch gives it the most edge to catch.
Many Weslaco homes belong to owners who leave in April and return in November.
A leak that starts in May is found in the fall, after the decking has stayed wet for months.

Permits and requirements

We confirm what Weslaco requires at your address and pull the re-roof permit before the tear off starts. If you are away for the summer, the permit and the inspection still happen on the house, so we agree in writing who lets the inspector in before you leave.
Weslaco sits inland. The Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection that coastal counties need for TWIA coverage does not apply here.
Out on the farm roads past the city limits the county sets the rules instead of Weslaco. We confirm which applies before we schedule the tear off, because it changes the paperwork and not the price.

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 Weslaco ask us

We found ceiling stains when we got back to Weslaco in November. How old is that leak?

Usually months old. A roof that started leaking in May sits closed up until you return in the fall. The decking stays wet, the insulation packs down and the stain spreads well past the hole. We open the attic side first, because the stain is never directly under the leak.

You are 72 minutes away. Who is on my Weslaco roof if the weather stops the job?

The same crew that started it. We dry in whatever we tear off the same day, so an afternoon storm does not reach your ceiling. If the forecast turns, we stop the tear off early rather than open more roof. The drive is our problem to plan around, not yours.

Our Weslaco house has three layers of shingle on it. Does all of that come off?

Yes, down to the deck. Three layers on a shallow pitch hold heat and hide every soft board underneath. The tear off takes longer and the dumpster fills faster, and we say so in the estimate. What you get back is a deck we have actually seen and repaired.
