Being “Schooled” In Roofing Isn’t A Bad Thing – Ask Your Teachers At Brinkmann
Brinkmann Quality Roofing Services believes Houston-area homeowners should feel educated and confident before signing a roofing contract—because many costly roof problems start with bad information from unqualified contractors. They regularly see homeowners shop by price alone, only to learn later that “cheaper” quotes can exclude critical items like proper tear-off and shingles that meet windstorm requirements.
Back To School? Hardly! But Knowing The Facts About Your Roofing Is Key
Why Brinkmann Is Proud To Be The Houston Area’s Roofing “Teacher”
Being educated about roofing before committing to a residential roof replacement in the Houston Area is not just important, but crucial.
We see a lot at Brinkmann Quality Roofing Services, and many roofing problems stem from roofing contractors not being completely honest about their products and services.
We want homeowners to be educated about their roofing options, whether they’re picking out a new asphalt roof that’s both strong and stylish or upgrading to sleek standing seam metal roofing.
We’re here for you – and will educate you on everything you need to know about your residential roof replacement – so you feel confident and informed before signing a roofing contract.
Avoidable Problems We Often See – And Reasons We Educate Homeowners
We’re not exaggerating when we say that the vast majority of roofing issues we see are due to a so-called “roofer” giving the homeowners wrong information.
In many cases, homeowners believe all roofs and roofing contractors are pretty much the same. This results in one of the most significant problems we see when it comes to Houston Area residential roof replacements – shopping by price alone.
We’re not saying budgets aren’t important. They absolutely are! But no one wants to end up paying more over the long run because they wanted to cut some initial costs.
A notable example is our friend, Matt. He got a quote from an obscure roofing contractor for a roof replacement after a big storm. The initial quote was $3,000 less than most other roofing quotes.
But after reviewing the fine print, it turned out that Matt would’ve paid a lot more than $3,000 to tear off the old roofing and replace it with high-quality shingles that met windstorm requirements.
But it’s not just Matt.
Many homeowners end up signing with unlicensed, unqualified roofers, only to regret it later. In Texas, roofers don’t have to be licensed. This means almost anyone can be a roofer! That’s bad news for everyone – especially homeowners.
Education About Your Roofing Is Crucial
Would it mean more money for us if homeowners didn’t know how to maintain their roof or spot early damage? Absolutely! Roof replacements are costlier projects than roof maintenance or repairs.
But that’s just not who we are.
The most important thing to us is ensuring homeowners get the most out of their roof. This includes knowing how to spot signs of a failing roof before they’re dealing with a moldy attic or granules in their gutters.
We educate homeowners on vital aspects of roofing, such as:
- The importance of roof cleaning and maintenance (especially in coastal areas)
- How Fortified Roofing can protect your roof and home against storms
- When roof repairs are a better solution than a replacement
- Why clean, clog-free gutters mean longer roof life
These are just some of the things we talk to homeowners about.
