Texas Roof Maintenance Checklist: Protect Your Roof Year-Round

Texas weather is hard on roofs — hail, wind, and 100° heat take a toll every year. A little maintenance prevents the kind of damage that leads to a full replacement. Here's your checklist.

Every Spring and Fall

• Clean gutters and downspouts — clogged gutters back water under the shingles
• Trim overhanging branches that scrape or drop debris
• Check flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys
• Look for missing, curling, or cracked shingles

After Every Storm

• Do a ground-level check for missing shingles and dents
• Look for granules in the gutter (a sign of shingle aging)
• If hail hit, get a free inspection — damage is often hidden

Ventilation Matters in Texas Heat

Proper attic ventilation extends shingle life and cuts cooling costs. Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, degrading your roof from underneath.

Annual Professional Inspection

Even with good maintenance, an annual professional inspection catches what you can't see from the ground. RAPTOR inspections are free and no-obligation. Call (817) 561-6500 to schedule.
