Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, protecting you and your family from Texas' unpredictable weather — from scorching summer heat to heavy storms. But how long should you expect your roof to last? And when is it time to consider a replacement? In this post, we'll break down the average lifespan of common roofing materials and highlight key signs that indicate your roof may need to be replaced.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, catastrophic flash floods swept across Central and North Texas , leaving devastation in their wake. Fueled by the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, the storms dumped several inches of rain in just hours—washing out roads, damaging homes, and tragically claiming over 120 lives statewide. And it’s not over. Forecasts show that more heavy rainfall and flash flooding could hit Rockwall and McKinney in the coming weeks. For homeowners in this part of Texas—especially those living in low-lying or flood-prone areas—this raises urgent questions: Is your roof ready for sudden, heavy rainfall? Are your gutters and drainage systems prepared to move water away from your home? Could hidden roof damage lead to interior flooding, mold, or structural problems? At Swift Roofing & Designs , we want to make sure your home is ready for what Texas weather throws at it. Here’s what every homeowner should know right now.
