Old roofs hide their weak points. A fast call finds them before the next storm does.
Old Katy roofs differ because the townsite holds the oldest roofing stock in the Katy area. Original homes date back generations. Wood plank decking, not plywood, sits under many of these roofs. Plank decking is a roof base of individual boards with gaps between them. Shingles nail to the boards. Gaps telegraph through aging shingles. Roof repair Old Katy wide respects the original build.
Piecemeal additions complicate every roof. Porches became rooms. Garages gained second stories. Each addition meets the original roof at a custom joint. Flashing at these joints was hand-formed decades ago. Hand-formed flashing fatigues and cracks. The technician traces each joint by hand.
Small lots and downtown density change the work. Crews stage materials in tight driveways. Neighbors sit close, so debris control matters. A typical Old Katy home carries a 15- to 25-square roof (1,500 to 2,500 square feet). Repair areas run 1 to 3 squares (100 to 300 square feet). Contractors doing roof repair in Katy treat these roofs as restoration work, not production work.
Historic stock, plank decking, and addition joints define Old Katy. Old roofs reward careful hands.
The typical repairs in Old Katy are addition-joint flashing rebuilds, plank decking repairs, and layered shingle corrections.
Addition-joint flashing rebuilds replace the fatigued metal where additions meet the original roof. The technician removes the old hand-formed flashing and installs new step flashing. Step flashing is L-shaped metal woven into each shingle course at a wall. Proper step flashing outlasts the surrounding shingles.
Plank decking repairs replace individual rotted boards. The technician pulls the shingles over the bad boards, swaps the boards, and relays the field. Spot board replacement costs far less than full redecking. Solid boards give fasteners a firm bite.
Layered shingle corrections address roofs with two shingle layers. A second layer is a new shingle roof installed over the old one. Double layers trap heat and hide deck rot. Where the top layer fails, the technician removes both layers in the repair zone and rebuilds from the deck.
