Ennis Roof Repair: Stop Small Problems Early
A roof rarely fails all at once. It fails one seal, one shingle and one flashing at a time. Repairing those early is the cheapest way to keep a roof.

Is it a repair job? Start here
One stain on the ceiling, in one room.
A few shingles missing after a windy storm.
A cracked rubber boot around a plumbing pipe.
Loose flashing along a wall or chimney.
A drip that shows up only in hard, wind-driven rain.
Granules in the gutters but shingles that still lie flat.
If you are seeing several of these at once, read roof repair vs. replacement before you decide.
Ennis roofs in context
Half of the homes in Ennis were built before 1990 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). That makes the typical house about 36 years old. Many have had one new roof since, so the shingles may be in middle age while flashing, vents and decking are older.
The storm record is short but recent. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 24 hail reports within 10 miles of Ennis from 2015 through 2024. Nine of those were 1.75 inches or larger, and all of the large-hail years in the record were 2023 and 2024. The biggest stone, 3 inches, was reported on June 14, 2023.
What does that mean for a repair? If your roof has not been looked at since those two seasons, damage from them may still be sitting there. Hail can crack a shingle without letting water in at first. Read why roof damage may not cause an immediate leak.
Repairs we do most often
Shingle replacement
Swapping out cracked, creased or missing shingles and resealing the ones around them.
Flashing work
Resealing or replacing flashing at walls, chimneys, skylights and valleys.
Vent and boot repairs
New pipe boots and vent seals where the old ones have dried out.
Decking patches
Replacing soft plywood found under a leak before new shingles go on.
Storm cover
Tarping an opening after a storm so water stays out until the repair. See emergency roof repair.

Review the work
We show you the finished repair and point out anything else worth watching.
Temporary patches do not last
Roofing cement and a tarp can buy a few days, but they are not a repair. They crack in the heat and peel in the next storm, and water often finds a path around them. Our article on why temporary roof patches fail explains why. A proper repair seals the shingles and flashing as a system. It also starts from the real source of the water, which is often a few feet from where the stain appears inside. Patching the spot over the stain while the true entry point stays open just moves the leak. Learn more about roof repair or see all our services in Ennis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether a roof leak is urgent?
If water is dripping into the house, it is urgent. Water spreads through insulation and decking faster than the stain shows. Even a slow drip can soften plywood within a few storms. A small stain that has not grown is less urgent, but it should still be checked before the next round of heavy rain.
Can hail from 2023 still be causing problems now?
Yes. Hail damage often does not leak right away. A cracked shingle or bruised mat wears faster in the sun and rain, and a leak can show up much later. If your Ennis roof was not inspected after the 2023 or 2024 storms, it is worth having it checked now.
Do you repair metal roofs?
Yes. Metal roofs need attention at fasteners, seams, trim and flashing, where gaskets and sealants age. Hail can dent panels and trim. We inspect the roof, document what we find with photos and give a free written estimate for the repair.
