What roofing services do you offer?

At Prosper Roof Repair Pros, we focus on keeping your property safe, dry, and protected for the long term. We provide a full range of roofing services, including:

Roof Repair and Emergency Roof Repair

We handle all types of roof repairs, from small leaks and missing shingles to damaged flashing, cracked pipe boots, and warped decking. For urgent situations like active leaks, storm damage, or sudden interior water spots, we offer emergency roof repair to quickly stop water intrusion and prevent further damage.

Roof Replacement and New Roof Installation

When repairs are no longer cost-effective or your roof has reached the end of its lifespan, we provide complete roof replacement and new roof installation. We help you choose materials, colors, and styles that match your home or building and your budget. Our team removes the old roof, inspects the structure, and installs your new roof according to current building standards.

Hail & Storm Damage Roof Repair and Insurance Help

We specialize in hail and storm damage repair. This includes repairing or replacing shingles, underlayment, flashing, vents, and gutters that have been impacted by severe weather. We also assist you with the insurance claim process by documenting damage, meeting with adjusters when needed, and helping you understand your coverage and options.

Roof Inspection and Maintenance

We offer detailed roof inspections for peace of mind, real estate transactions, insurance requirements, and after major storms. Routine maintenance services include checking for loose shingles, resealing vulnerable areas, cleaning debris from valleys and gutters, and identifying small issues before they turn into big problems.

Residential and Commercial Roofing

We work on both homes and commercial properties. For residential clients, we commonly install and repair asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs, and other popular home roofing systems. For commercial clients, we work on flat and low-slope roofs, including various membrane systems and specialty materials, with a focus on durability and long-term performance.

Metal and Specialty Roofing

If you’re interested in a long-lasting and distinctive look, we work with metal and other specialty roofing options. These systems can offer excellent durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal when installed correctly.

Gutter Installation

We also provide gutter installation and replacement. Properly designed gutters help direct water away from your roof, walls, and foundation, reducing the risk of leaks, erosion, and structural damage. We can match gutters to your roof and home style for both function and appearance.

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full roof replacement?

It’s not always obvious whether you just need a repair or if it’s time to replace your roof. Several factors help us make that decision together with you.

Signs You May Only Need a Repair

You might only need a roof repair if:

The damage is limited to a small area, such as a few missing or damaged shingles.
You notice a single leak that started after a specific event, like a windstorm.
Your roof is still relatively young and in generally good condition.
The majority of shingles or materials are still lying flat, intact, and not crumbling.

In these cases, we can often fix the problem area, seal vulnerable spots, and extend the life of your existing roof.

Signs It May Be Time for Replacement

You might need a full roof replacement if:

Your roof is near or past its typical lifespan for its material.
You see widespread curling, cracking, or loss of granules on shingles.
There are frequent or recurring leaks in different areas.
The roof has significant storm or hail damage across large sections.
You have noticeable sagging, soft spots, or structural concerns.

During our inspection, we will explain what we find, show you photos, and walk you through the pros and cons of repair versus replacement. Our goal is to give you honest advice based on the condition of your roof, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the property.

What should I do after hail or storm damage, and how do you help with insurance claims?

Severe weather can be overwhelming, but taking a few simple steps can protect your property and make the insurance process smoother. Prosper Roof Repair Pros is here to help through each stage.

Immediate Steps After a Storm

Right after a storm:

Stay safe and avoid climbing on the roof.
Look around your home for visible signs of damage, like missing shingles, dented gutters, damaged siding, or water stains on ceilings.
Take photos of anything you can safely see from the ground.
If your roof is leaking, place buckets or towels inside to catch water and move valuables out of the way.

Then, contact us to schedule a professional roof inspection. We know what to look for and how to document storm and hail damage properly.

Our Role in the Insurance Process

We assist with storm-related insurance claims by:

Inspecting your roof for hail, wind, and impact damage.
Taking detailed photos and notes to support your claim.
Providing an honest assessment of whether damage is likely to be covered.
Supplying a clear written estimate you can share with your insurance company.
Meeting with your insurance adjuster on-site when needed to point out damage.
Explaining your paperwork in simple terms so you understand your options.

While we cannot control what your insurance company approves, our job is to make sure the damage is properly documented and that you have the information you need to make confident decisions.

How often should I have my roof inspected, and what do you look for?

Regular roof inspections are one of the best ways to avoid surprise leaks and major repairs.

Recommended Inspection Frequency

In general, we recommend:

A routine roof inspection once a year.
Additional inspections after major hail, wind, or severe storms.
An inspection before selling or buying a property.

If your roof is older or has had previous issues, more frequent checkups might be a good idea.

What We Check During a Roof Inspection

During a roof inspection, Prosper Roof Repair Pros typically looks for:

Missing, cracked, curled, or loose shingles or panels.
Soft spots, sagging, or signs of water damage in the roof decking.
Damaged or rusted flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and walls.
Worn-out sealant around penetrations such as pipes and vents.
Clogged or damaged gutters and downspouts.
Granule loss on asphalt shingles and general wear patterns.
Signs of moisture, staining, or mold in the attic or ceiling areas.

After the inspection, we review our findings with you, show any photos, and recommend any repairs or maintenance. Sometimes, a simple, low-cost repair can prevent a much larger problem down the road.

What types of roofing materials do you work with, and how do I choose the right one?

We work with a variety of roofing materials to fit different styles, budgets, and performance needs.

Common Roofing Materials We Install and Repair

Some of the roofing materials we regularly handle include:

Asphalt shingles, including standard and higher-impact options.
Metal roofing, such as standing seam and metal panels.
Roofing for flat or low-slope commercial buildings, depending on the system.
Specialty roofing options by request, where suitable.

How to Choose the Right Roofing Material

When helping you select a roofing material, we consider:

Your budget and how long you plan to stay in the property.
The style and appearance you prefer.
How much maintenance you are comfortable with.
Local weather patterns and how your roof needs to perform in storms.
Energy efficiency and potential savings on heating and cooling.

We will explain the pros and cons of each option in clear terms, so you understand what you are getting in terms of durability, appearance, and overall value.

Do you work on both residential and commercial roofs, and is there a difference in the process?

Yes, Prosper Roof Repair Pros serves both residential and commercial customers, and while the goal is always a safe, watertight roof, the process can differ.

Residential Roofing Services

For homes, we typically:

Focus on curb appeal, color, and style along with weather protection.
Use materials like asphalt shingles or metal roofing that suit the home’s design.
Pay special attention to features like skylights, chimneys, and vent pipes.
Work to minimize disruption to your daily life and clean up thoroughly afterward.

Commercial Roofing Services

For commercial properties, we often:

Work with flat or low-slope roofing systems.
Plan projects around your business operations to reduce downtime or disruptions.
Consider foot traffic on the roof for equipment access and maintenance.
Focus on long-term performance, energy efficiency, and compliance with building codes.

In both cases, we start with a thorough inspection, provide a clear estimate, and communicate with you throughout the project so you know what to expect at each step.
