Roofing types for Brazos Valley homes and buildings

We are Owens Corning certified and GAF certified.

• Asphalt shingle A fiberglass mat, an asphalt coating and mineral granules. A common roof on pitched Texas homes.
• Architectural shingles Asphalt shingles laminated in layers for a thicker, dimensional look.
• Metal Metal roofs for homes, shops, outbuildings and commercial buildings.
• Flat and low slope (TPO) A single ply, reflective membrane with welded seams, on flat and low slope roofs.

EV Roofing & Construction carries a 10 year workmanship warranty on roofing. Materials carry the manufacturer warranty. Cover begins at substantial completion and excludes owner supplied items, normal wear, and damage from deferred maintenance.

Pitch decides a lot of it. Shingles are made for sloped roofs, and flat or low slope sections need a membrane such as TPO.

After that it comes down to the building, how it is used, what an HOA allows, and what you want it to look like. We talk it through on site and put the recommendation in writing.

Texas homeowners also ask about clay tile, concrete tile, slate, synthetic and wood shake roofs. The guides below explain what each material is, how it behaves in Central Texas heat, hail and expansive clay soils, and what to ask any contractor before work starts.

They are explainers, not an offer. If you have one of these roofs or are weighing one, talk to us about it and we will tell you plainly what we can do.

• Who stands behind the workmanship Get the workmanship warranty in writing, with the term, the exclusions and the name of the company that honors it.
• Proof of insurance A certificate of insurance sent to you directly by the agent or carrier, showing general liability and workers compensation.
• Certifications you can check Manufacturer certifications can be verified with the manufacturer rather than taken on trust.
• What the scope says What comes off, what goes on, how penetrations and flashings are handled, and what happens if the decking is compromised.
