"This gentleman fixed my problem, but he left the job unfinished. He left the chimney screen off of my chimney and I now have birds nesting in my chimney. I ve even came home and found a bird in my house. I will have to hire someone to climb on my roof to put the screen back up on the chimney. I won t hire him again."

Family Owned, Family First.\nWe started our company after spending years contracting under other builders and general contractors. After a while, we realized our small family needed greater structure and a stronger foundation than what we were providing with those hour-packed work schedules. \n\nSo, we took a huge risk, trusting that our Father would always take care of our family (whether we succeeded on our own or not), and began our LLC. We have put together a network of professionals that continues to grow all across East Texas, allowing our company to provide a wide range of services to our valued customer base.\n\nSince this move, we are happy to say that our family grows closer and stronger every day! And our hope is that each and every client we have the pleasure to work with will recognize these family values and carry them home, to a home they truly love again!\n

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Asphalt shingles have varying thicknesses across the length, so failing to stagger shingles from one row to the next will leave you with bulges and bumps if the thicker sections stack on top of each other. Not only is this unappealing, but it increases the risk of water intrusion. Stagger each new row by 6 inches to avoid this issue.

If you don’t see obvious signs of roof leaks, like water spots on the ceilings inside or visible damage to the roof membrane, the best way to check for leaks is to have a professional complete a heat scan of your roof. This will identify areas where water has penetrated the membrane and is keeping the roof cooler in certain areas.

You can secure roof decorations like inflatables and other Christmas decor by tying a rope or attacking bungee cords to your roof clips. Depending on the pitch of your roof, you can use sandbags for extra support. Like with Christmas lights, avoid using staples or duct tape. 

If you see rust spots or streaks or any physical damage to the chimney cap from the ground, you should hire a professional to inspect and replace it. If it’s safe to get up on your roof or near your chimney cap with a ladder, you can perform a closer inspection to identify issues. Additionally, if you know your chimney cap is nearing the end of its life—usually five to ten years—or you’re seeing evidence of water damage or pest infestation in your chimney, it’s a good idea to replace the cap.

Homeowners insurance typically covers roof repairs or replacement if the damage is caused by a sudden, accidental event or a covered peril, such as a storm, wind, hail, fire, or a falling tree. However, insurance will not cover repairs or replacement for issues stemming from a lack of maintenance, normal wear and tear, or a roof that is simply old and at the end of its lifespan. If a leak or damage occurs due to neglect, you will likely have to pay for repairs out of pocket.
