Spring is the season of renewal. Flowers bloom, temperatures rise, and homeowners everywhere begin to tackle home improvement projects. One of the most important things you can do this season is take a good look at your roof. If your roof is damaged or aging, putting off a replacement could lead to serious and expensive problems. At Axl Roofing, we want to help you spot the warning signs early so you can stay protected all year long.
April 22, 2025
Spring is here, and while most homeowners are thinking about yard work and spring cleaning, your roof deserves just as much attention. At Axl Roofing, we know that early detection is key to avoiding major roofing problems later in the year. Whether you just survived a rough winter or are preparing for spring storms, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at what’s going on above your head. Why Spring Roof Inspections Matter After months of freezing temps, heavy snow, and ice buildup, your roof may have taken more damage than you realize. Even small issues like cracked shingles or loose flashing can open the door to leaks, mold, and costly interior repairs. Catching problems now means fewer headaches and better protection during storm season. Here Are the Top 5 Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Attention 1. Missing or Damaged Shingles If you see patches of your roof where shingles are curling, cracking, or completely gone, that’s a clear sign your roof is vulnerable to water intrusion. 2. Granules in the Gutters If your gutters are full of shingle granules, your roof is likely losing its protective coating. This happens as shingles age and wear out. It is especially common after a rough winter. 3. Water Stains or Interior Leaks Water spots on your ceiling or walls are red flags. Even if the leak seems small, it often signals bigger issues hiding under your roof. 4. Sagging or Uneven Rooflines A drooping roof is not just an eyesore. It can indicate structural damage, compromised decking, or water saturation. 5. Flashing Issues Flashing is the metal placed around chimneys, vents, and valleys to keep water out. If it’s cracked, rusted, or missing, water will find its way in. What You Can Do Now If you’ve spotted any of the signs above or just want peace of mind heading into storm season, schedule a professional inspection with Axl Roofing. Our team offers free inspections and honest assessments. We never push what you don’t need. We just give you the facts so you can make the right call for your home. Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late The longer roofing issues go unaddressed, the more expensive they become. Spring is a smart time to act before heavy rains or hail storms make things worse. Trust Axl Roofing to Keep Your Home Covered We are proud to serve homeowners with high quality roofing solutions, fast response times, and a customer first approach. Whether you need repairs, a full roof replacement, or a second opinion, we are here to help. Call now to schedule your free spring roof inspection. Let’s keep your home safe and dry all season long.

AXL Roofing Becomes One of Only Two Roofing Companies in Texas—and the Only One in Houston—Certified to Install FORTIFIED Home™ Roofs for Wind, Hail, and Hurricanes
January 27, 2025
When homeowners in Texas experience damage to their roof due to hailstorms, wind, or other natural disasters, they often turn to their insurance policies to cover the costs of repairs or replacement. While insurance claims are a financial relief for many, there is an important legal requirement tied to these claims: paying the deductible. Some roofing contractors offer to waive, absorb, rebate, or credit the deductible to win business, but this practice is illegal in Texas. Not only can it result in severe legal consequences for the contractor, but homeowners may also unknowingly participate in insurance fraud.
