ROOFING FAQ
Duck Works Aqua Management Solutions
-
What roofing services does Duck Works offer?
-
What is the difference between reroofing and full roof replacement?
Reroofing is adding a new layer of shingles on top of the existing roof when the structure underneath is still solid. A full replacement removes the old shingles and underlayment down to the decking. Replacement is the best option when there is water damage, rot, or multiple layers of old roofing.
-
How do I know if my home needs a new roof?
Signs include missing shingles, curling or cracking shingles, dark patches, leaks, or visible sagging. You may also notice granules in your gutters. If your roof is 15–20 years old, an inspection is strongly recommended.
-
How long does a roof installation or reroof take?
Most homes can be reroofed or replaced in one to two days. Larger or more complex roofs may take a little longer. We work efficiently while maintaining strict craftsmanship and safety standards.
-
What roofing materials do you install?
We install asphalt shingles, synthetic underlayment, starter strip, ice/water barriers (as needed), and metal drip edge. All materials are chosen for durability and performance in Texas weather. Our system is built to keep water flowing off the roof and away from your home.
-
How long do asphalt shingle roofs last in Texas?
On average, 15–25 years depending on quality, ventilation, and storm exposure. Hail, wind, and extreme sun can shorten that lifespan. Regular inspections help catch issues early.
-
What are the signs of storm damage to a roof?
Look for missing shingles, lifted shingles, dents from hail, granule loss, or leaks in the attic. Even small hail impacts can weaken shingles. A professional inspection can determine if the roof needs repair or replacement.
-
Does insurance cover roof replacement after hail or wind damage?
In many cases, yes. If damage is caused by hail, wind, or sudden impact, your insurance provider may cover replacement. We can guide homeowners on what signs to look for before filing a claim.
-
Do you offer roofing warranties?
Yes. We provide workmanship warranties and pass along manufacturer warranties on shingles and materials. Homeowners receive clear documentation for peace of mind.
-
How does proper roofing prevent water damage?
A well-installed roof sheds water quickly and protects the home’s structure, attic, and exterior walls. Proper underlayment and drip edge help move water into your gutter system rather than behind the fascia boards. Good roofing is the first layer of water management.
-
What are the risks of delaying a needed roof replacement?
Water can leak into the attic, damage insulation, rot wood, and create mold. Small issues can quickly become expensive structural repairs. Replacing a roof on time protects your home’s value and safety.
-
What is included in your roofing estimate?
We provide a detailed scope of work, materials list, shingle type, underlayment, warranties, and a clear price. No hidden fees or surprises. Our goal is to educate homeowners so they feel confident moving forward.
-
Do you offer financing for roofing projects?
Many homeowners choose financing to spread the cost over time. We can discuss available options and point you toward reputable financing resources.
-
How do I choose the right roofing company in Texas?
Look for proper insurance, strong reviews, clear communication, and experience with Texas weather. A reputable roofer provides detailed estimates, quality materials, and professional installation. Duck Works meets all these standards and prioritizes homeowner trust.
-
How do gutters and roofing work together?
Your roof sheds water and your gutters control where it goes. This partnership protects fascia boards, the foundation, and landscaping. A healthy roof and seamless gutter system provide full-home water management.
GUTTER FAQ
Duck Works Aqua Management Solutions
-
Why are seamless gutters important for Texas homes?
Seamless gutters reduce leaks and handle heavy Texas rain more effectively than sectional gutters. Fewer seams mean fewer failure points. This protects siding, fascia boards, and your home’s foundation.
-
What are the risks of not having gutters?
Without gutters, rainwater can soak the soil around your foundation, cause erosion, and lead to cracking or shifting. Fascia boards can rot, and water can damage brick, siding, and landscaping. Gutters are essential home protection in areas with heavy rainfall.
-
What size gutters do I need—5-inch or 6-inch?
5-inch gutters work for most standard homes, but 6-inch gutters are better for steep roofs, long roof runs, or heavy-rain areas. We evaluate your roofline and help you choose the best option. Larger gutters move more water and reduce overflow.
-
How do seamless gutters protect fascia boards and rooflines?
They catch water before it can run behind the edge of the roof. This prevents wood rot, mold, and long-term structural damage. It also helps extend the life of your roofing system.
-
What are the signs my gutters need replacement?
Overflowing water, sagging sections, peeling paint, cracks, leaks, or rust spots are major signs. You might also see soil erosion or moisture near your foundation. If your gutters fail during storms, replacement is often the best solution.
-
What’s the difference between gutter repair and replacement?
Repairs fix small issues like loose hangers or minor leaks. Replacement is recommended when gutters are old, damaged, or not sized properly for the home. New seamless gutters usually offer better long-term performance than repeated spot repairs.
-
How much do seamless gutters cost?
Pricing depends on the length of guttering, number of downspouts, gutter size, and whether you choose add-ons like gutter guards. Most homeowners find seamless gutters to be a cost-effective upgrade with long-term protection. We provide clear, upfront estimates.
-
How long does gutter installation take?
Most jobs are completed in a single day. We fabricate your seamless gutters onsite for a perfect custom fit. Installation is quick, clean, and minimally disruptive.
-
What makes seamless gutters better than sectional gutters?
Seamless gutters don’t have seams along the runs, which means far fewer leaks. They last longer, look cleaner, and require less maintenance. Sectional gutters often fail at the connectors—especially during heavy Texas rain.
-
Do gutter guards help in Texas?
Yes. Gutter guards reduce clogs from leaves, debris, and shingle grit, improving water flow during storms. They also cut down on maintenance while protecting your gutter system.
-
How often should homeowners clean or service their gutters?
Most homes need service once or twice per year. Homes with trees nearby may need it more often. Routine cleaning prevents foundation issues, fascia rot, and overflows.
-
How do gutters protect my home’s foundation?
By moving water away from the base of your home, gutters reduce soil erosion and prevent moisture from seeping into the slab. This protects against cracking and shifting. Proper water management is crucial in Texas’ clay-heavy soils.
-
What is fascia board protection, and why does it matter?
Fascia boards support your gutter system and protect the edge of your roof. When water runs behind the gutters, these boards rot and weaken. Seamless gutters help keep them dry and structurally sound.
-
Do you offer warranties on gutter installation?
Yes—Duck Works provides workmanship warranties on installation and offers manufacturer warranties on materials. We stand behind every gutter system we install.
-
How do I choose the right gutter company?
Look for a company that specializes in seamless gutters, uses quality materials, and understands Texas weather patterns. Professional installation prevents leaks and ensures long-lasting performance. Duck Works offers trustworthy service, fair pricing, and expert craftsmanship.
Pressure Washing & EXTERIOR CLEANING FAQ
Duck Works Aqua Management Solutions
-
What surfaces can Duck Works pressure wash?
We clean driveways, patios, walkways, porches, brick, stone, and most exterior hard surfaces. We use the appropriate PSI and detergents to ensure safe, effective cleaning without damaging your property.
-
Will pressure washing damage my siding or concrete?
Not when it’s done by professionals. We adjust pressure levels and use soft-wash techniques where needed. This prevents etching, streaking, and surface wear while still delivering a deep clean.
-
How often should I have my home’s exterior surfaces cleaned?
Most Texas homes benefit from pressure washing once per year. Heavy shade, tree coverage, or high-traffic areas may require more frequent cleaning to prevent mildew, staining, and buildup.
-
What are the benefits of pressure washing?
Pressure washing improves curb appeal, removes dirt and grime, prevents mold and algae growth, and protects outdoor surfaces from long-term wear. A clean exterior also helps extend the life of sealing and finishes.
-
Do I need to be home during the service?
No — as long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and an outdoor water source, we can complete the work. We provide before-and-after photos for your peace of mind.
