Every season stresses your roof in a different way, and after years of inspecting homes across Tyler, I’ve learned that understanding these seasonal shifts is one of the best ways to prevent major roofing problems.

Most people in Longview don’t realize how predictable a roof leak actually is. After years of inspecting roofs all over the city—from Judson Rd. neighborhoods to the outskirts near Diana—I’ve noticed that leaks almost always follow the same pattern.

But after years of roof inspections across the area, I can tell you that some of the biggest roofing problems don’t start with the shingles at all.

I’ve inspected countless roofs across Whitehouse—from Lake Tyler homes to neighborhood developments—and I’ve noticed the same pattern over and over: certain parts of the roof age dramatically faster than others.
