Proof of a Roof: Handling Southeast Texas Weather

Due to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, the southeastern portion of Texas is more prone to storms than the rest of the state. Indeed, the average precipitation in this region falls between 40 and 60 inches, which is considerably higher than other parts of the state. Local residents also need to contend with the occasional hurricane that can cause significant damage to properties.


It's precisely because of these conditions that homeowners in Southeast Texas need to pay very close attention to their roofing. After all, the roof takes the brunt of weather-related damage to protect the rest of the structure from harm. Poorly maintained roofs are bound to fall into disrepair sooner than expected, resulting in persistent leaks or, worse, complete structural failure.


Folks concerned about the state of their roofs may thus want to hire reputable roofing contractors who can carry out the necessary repairs and maintenance tasks before it is too late. Ideally, roofers should be called upon before the onset of rainy weather as well as after a hurricane so that they can repair any damage right away. It is also wise to steer clear of storm chasers, shady contractors who do shoddy repair works that prey on unsuspecting homeowners directly after a storm.
