Roof Replacement in Silk Stocking, Galveston: what actually fails

A Queen Anne in the Silk Stocking District is among the most involved re-roofs on the island: towers, many planes, deep valleys and flashing at every turn, all of it metal that has lived with salt air for decades. Composition shingle passes the district standards in a color close to the original, so the review is about color as much as material.

Late 19th and early 20th century, designated a historic district in 1975; one listed house there was home to Fred W. Hoecker in 1908.

  • Veranda roofs against steep walls
  • Ladder footing on tall roofs
  • Valley count and condition on every plane
  • Tower and turret flashing

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
  2. Look at the edges from the groundRust streaks running down from the drip edge or a vent, shingles lifted along an eave, flashing standing away from a wall. Each one tells the roofer where to look first.

Note 01How often should a roof be replaced?

When it stops being repairable, not on a calendar. Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years and metal at 40 to 70, but a roof is done when it leaks in several places, sags, or loses shingles in every wind because its nails have rusted.

Note 02What is the most expensive part of replacing a roof?

Usually labor on a complicated roof, and decking nobody could see until the old roof came off. Valleys, towers and steep pitches add cutting and flashing, and soft sheathing is priced per sheet once it has been counted.

Note 03What is the average cost to replace a roof on a 2000 square foot home?

Floor area is the wrong number to price from, but as a guide: Texas-wide estimates put most 2,000-square-foot houses around $12,000, and published Galveston figures for architectural shingle run $9,500 to $22,000. Pitch, valleys, layers and the metal move it from there.
