Have you had your gutters checked lately?

Here in Houston we are likely to have temperature changes from below freezing—maybe only a couple of times a year—up to over 100 degrees in the summer. We also have tremendous rainstorms and turbulent winds all year around. Our homes are susceptible to damage caused by these extreme temperatures, blasting rain and winds. So, we have to deal with the needed repairs.

Your gutters may not be surviving all this Houston weather. They need to be checked, cleaned and repaired periodically to avoid possible damage to your home and property. Clogged gutters after a heavy downpour can dump water on your landscaping (destroying it), do damage to your foundation, cause water to stream down walls both outside and inside your home and create puddles on the floors. On top of that our Houston atmosphere is unusually high in humidity, and humidity alone can do damage to both roofs and gutters.

Gutters are a crucial component of the roofing system of any home or building. You need one that is strong enough, the proper size, and in good shape to resist our heavy downpours and extreme winds and temperatures. An efficient gutter system will protect your property and save you from costly repairs.

Royal Crown Roofing has the professionals with the expertise to come up with a plan to remedy any gutter problems you may have. We look forward to meeting with you and serving you.

Are you one of us–the many people who let things go until you are forced to do something about them?

Are you one of us–the many people who let things go until you are forced to do something about them?

If so, that can be an expensive way of doing things when it comes to your house or building’s roof. We all need to repent and do things in a timely manner.

When it comes to spring cleaning in Victorian times, people started at the top of the house and took all the furniture, lamps and knicknacks out of each room and cleaned and polished them. They washed the curtains, windows and the walls unless they were covered with wall paper, which was only brushed. They took out carpets and mattresses and beat them on clothes lines and spread wet tea leaves on the floor to attract dust when they cleaned the floors, all in the quest for cleanliness and good health.

So, what does this have to do with roof cleaning, which is our subject? Cleanliness and health are some of the many reasons to have your roof cleaned. That’s because dirt, mold and bacteria are embedded in your roof, and as time passes, they can not only destroy it, they can affect the health of people in your home or business location. Your roof is also the first line of defense against wind blasts and rainstorms and its destruction will leave you, your family, employees and possessions at risk.

Roof leaks and moisture will bring water, mold and chemicals into your walls, floors and the air you breathe. So, don’t wait till you see the damage, get hold of Royal Crown Roofing now to inspect and clean your roof. We look forward to meeting with you.

Is a roof leaking just a little bit something to worry about?

Is a roof leaking just a little bit something to worry about?

Are you finding small puddles in the corner of a room or moisture on the walls in one part of the building or house? Or, does water drip a little from the ceiling when it rains? Why not just put a bucket under the leak and hope for the best? Why not wait for a two- or three-bucket leak or a ceiling falling in to check out the roof?

We all know that’s foolishness!

What are some of the big indicators that your roof has problems that need to be fixed? One is when you notice missing shingles, or moisture or rotting wood in the attic. These can be addressed in a timely manner to avoid emergencies.

But, what do you do if you can’t find the leak?

Sometimes leaks can’t easily be found without spending a lot of time and money looking for them. Royal Crown Roofing has the solution to saving your time and money. They have specialized equipment that can spot leaks quickly and effectively in the form of an infrared camera that gives an accurate picture of your roof’s condition. It can detect even the smallest leaks so they can be repaired before disaster strikes during some terrible storm. The camera can detect moisture, mold and mold erosion and any damage already done to the roof.

Let Royal Crown Roofing find those hidden leaks and make the repairs before they expand to the point of water pouring into your home. They are there to help you.

So, you need a new roof and can’t decide which kind.
