Repair, Tear-Offs & Re-Decksin Gilmer and East Texas

Even a small leak can mean big problems. Because the shape of a roof makes water travel, that stain on your ceiling may be the last few drops of a leak that started elsewhere. We pinpoint leaks, repair storm damage, and perform full tear-offs and re-decks.

Repair, Tear-Offs & Re-Decks by Raymond Hardin Roofing

Why repair, tear-offs & re-decks?

Water is wonderful, but not when it's dripping through your ceiling! Finding the source of a leak can be tricky because the shape of the roof makes water travel. If you see exterior signs (missing, cracked, curled, or 'bald' shingles, loose flashing around chimneys or stacks, mold where rooflines meet) or interior signs (ceiling stains, blistering paint, damp rafters, or points of daylight in your attic around chimneys and vents), call Raymond Hardin Roofing right away.

When it comes to Reroofing vs. Roof Replacement: Reroofing adds new roofing over an existing shingle roof. Building codes allow only two layers of shingles, and reroofing is an option only if the decking is solid and free of major leaks or decay. Because hidden problems are likely to recur with reroofing, full tear-off and roof replacement is usually the better long-term option.

A new roof adds value to your home and has the highest return on investment of all exterior home improvements—averaging 105%. We specialize in full tear-offs, structural wood re-decks, replacing boards and trim, and replacing all turbines, pipes, and stacks.

If you suspect Storm Damage from heavy rain, tornadoes, hail, high winds, or fallen tree branches: stay safe by staying off the roof and call us first before you call your insurance company. We will make a thorough inspection of the damage and give your insurance company complete information to help you receive the most complete coverage allowed by your policy.

Yes! If you see or suspect storm damage, call us first before you call your insurance company. We will make a thorough inspection of the damage and give your insurance company complete information to help you receive the most complete coverage allowed by your policy.
Reroofing over existing shingles is only allowed once by building codes (maximum two layers) and only if the underlying decking is completely solid with no leaks or decay. Because hidden deck problems often recur with reroofing, a full tear-off and roof replacement is usually the better investment.
