Got Questions?
Answers about roof maintenance, warranties, inspections, and when it's time for a replacement โ straight from our team in Central Texas.
Signs of water damage on interior walls usually indicate that your roof is in need of leak repair. If you uncover damaged sheets, deteriorated flashing, or other visible problems, you will at least need some repairs โ or possibly a full replacement.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you're seeing granule loss in your gutters, curling shingles, or daylight through the attic boards, it's time for a professional inspection. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or if a replacement makes more sense.
Regular inspections โ at least twice a year โ help uncover damaged sheets, deteriorated flashing, and other visible problems. Time your inspections for the spring and again in the fall before severe weather season.
If you detect any problems with your roof, we recommend getting a professional opinion on whether a renovation is needed. Many types of damage aren't visible from the ground โ hail impact, for example, often doesn't show until months later.
Under normal conditions, rainfall keeps your roof sufficiently clean. Any fallen leaves, twigs, or other debris not washed away by rain should be cleared annually. Roof valleys and rainwater systems also require yearly cleaning.
For metal roofs, check the surface twice a year โ before winter and right after. Avoid pressure washing shingles, as it can strip granules and void your warranty. When in doubt, call us.

20-year aesthetic performance warranty
40-year technical performance warranty

30-year technical performance warranty
10-year aesthetic performance warranty
Divided Sky roofs come with a technical warranty of up to 50 years. However, with proper and regular maintenance, a well-installed roof can last significantly longer.
Factors that affect lifespan include the material chosen (metal roofs can exceed 60 years, architectural shingles typically 25โ30), your local weather exposure, ventilation quality, and how consistently you maintain it.
It depends on your policy and the cause of damage. Most Texas homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental damage from specific events โ wind and hail are typically covered perils. Normal wear and aging are not covered.
