Flower Mound is an incorporated town located in Denton and Tarrant counties in the U.S. state of Texas. Located northwest of Dallas and northeast of Fort Worth adjacent to Grapevine Lake, the town derives its name from a prominent 12.5-acre (5.1 ha) mound located in the center of town.

After settlers used the site for religious camps during the 1840s, the area around Flower Mound was first permanently inhabited in the 1850s; however, residents did not incorporate until 1961. Although an effort to create a planned community failed in the early 1970s, Flower Mound's population increased substantially when Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport opened to the south in 1974. As of the 2020 United States census, the population was 75,956, reflecting a 17% increase over the 64,669 counted in the 2010 census. Of the Texas municipalities that label themselves "towns", Flower Mound has the largest population. Flower Mound was the only town with a population greater than 20,000 in the 2020 census.

Flower Mound's municipal government, operating under a council–manager system, has invested in a public park system highlighted by an extensive network of trails. Lewisville Independent School District, which operates public schools, covers the majority of Flower Mound. With its moderately affluent population and proximity to the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Flower Mound has used a smart growth system for urban planning, and has recently experienced more rapid light industrial growth to match the growing needs of the primarily residential community.

Settlement in the area around Flower Mound began when the Presbyterians established a camp in the area in the 1840s. A log cabin, dated around 1850, was discovered preserved within the walls of a home near Liberty Elementary in 2016, providing further proof of settlement. At first, the group held religious camps for two to three weeks at a time. By 1854, residents had established the Flower Mound Presbyterian Church southwest of Lewisville in an area commonly referred to as "Long Prairie". By 1920, the church had 126 members, and the pine-framed building was expanded in 1937. Early settlers such as Andrew Morriss and David Kirkpatrick are memorialized with street names in the town. The area remained sparsely populated for many decades after its initial settlement.

On February 25, 1961, the town voted to incorporate to avoid annexation by the City of Irving. William Wilkerson, who became the town's second mayor, led the incorporation effort and helped improve the town's phone service and water supply. In 1970, when Flower Mound had 1,685 residents, Edward S. Marcus and Raymond Nasher began a planned community project with $18 million in loan guarantees from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development through their New Community program. Called "Flower Mound New Town", the project included elements of the new towns movement, including collaboration with North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas) to move the school's administrative offices to Flower Mound and conduct all research for the project. The project was featured in advertisements as late as 1974, but it was abandoned after residents threatened to disannex a portion of the town to thwart the development. The disannexation effort sharply divided the town, and led to a number of strongly contested elections between 1971 and 1976. In 1976, Texas Monthly awarded the project its "Bum Steer Award" after the project lost its federal loan guarantees.

The construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport 4 miles (6.4 km) south of the town in 1974 sparked a period of rapid growth. Between 1980 and 1990, Flower Mound's population increased from 4,402 to 15,896. It reached 50,702 in 2000, an average annual increase of nearly 13 percent per year during the 1990s, making it the nation's tenth fastest-growing community. Between 2000 and 2002, Flower Mound was the ninth fastest-growing municipality in the United States with a population of more than 50,000, and its population continued to increase by approximately five percent each year between 2000 and 2005. Controlled growth continues in central and western Flower Mound.

Flower Mound is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Dallas and 25 miles (40 km) northeast of Fort Worth on the border between Denton and Tarrant counties. The town is located almost entirely in Denton County, however it has areas that extend into Tarrant County. It is situated on the basin of the Trinity River in the Eastern Cross Timbers subregion in Texas. The town borders Lewisville to the east and a number of cities and towns to the north, including Highland Village, Double Oak, and Bartonville. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 43.4 square miles (112 km). Land comprises 41.39 square miles (107.2 km) (95.37%) of the total area; Denton County soils include the Silawa, Nawo, Gasil series. Water comprises 2.5 square miles (6.5 km) (5.76%) of the total area; Grapevine Lake and Marshall Creek form much of the town's southern boundary. Flower Mound's climate is classified as humid subtropical; the town averages 233 sunny days per year and 79 days of precipitation.

The town encourages conservation development projects to protect and preserve existing open space, vistas, and natural habitats while allowing for controlled growth. Much of the town is located on the Barnett Shale, and drilling for shale gas in close proximity to residential neighborhoods has sharply divided parts of the community. In 1994, amateur fossil collector Gary Byrd discovered a fossilized example of a Hadrosaurid dinosaur among black shale rock formations in the southwest edge of the town near Grapevine Lake. The fossilized creature from the Cenomanian age was named "Protohadros byrdi" in Byrd's honor.

Flower Mound was named for a 12.5-acre (5.1 ha) hill approximately 50 feet (15 m) in height located close to the intersection of FM 3040 and FM 2499. The formation attracted the attention of early settlers to the area, and is often simply referred to as "The Mound". Part of the Texas blackland prairies, The Mound is typically covered by big bluestem, little bluestem, and Indian grasses. During blooming seasons, dozens of varieties of flowers can grow on its slopes, often aided by the water retained by gilgai formations. Though surrounded by commercial and residential development, The Mound is owned and maintained by The Mound Foundation, a non-profit private–public partnership. The group has advocated for a controlled burn on The Mound for many years, and it expressed relief when an accidental New Year's Eve fire in late 2011 spurred the growth of wildflowers for the first time in years.

As of the 2010 United States census, there were 64,669 people and 14,269 families residing in 21,570 housing units in Flower Mound. The population density was 1,562 inhabitants per square mile (603/km). As of the 2020 United States census, there were 75,956 people, 26,233 households, and 21,954 families residing in the town.

In 2010, the racial and ethnic makeup of the town was 83.9% White, 3.2% African American, 0.1% Native American, 8.6% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 8.4% of the population. The average household size was 3.072 people. Among the population in 2020, the racial and ethnic makeup was 66.02% non-Hispanic white, 3.37% African American, 0.38% Native American, 14.09% Asian American, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 0.42% some other race, 4.56% multiracial, and 11.11% Hispanic or Latino of any race; these statistics reflected nationwide trends of demographic diversification.

According to a 2011 American Community Survey estimate, the median income for a household was $118,763, and the median income for a family was $126,336. Males had a median income of $95,284 versus $56,692 for females. The per capita income for the town was $44,042. About 2% of families and 3.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 3.5% of those under age 18 and 1.1% of those age 65 or over.

The town's population is often noted for its moderately affluent, yet relatively transient residents. Although Flower Mound has the second-highest percentage of residents making over $100,000 in the nation, Journalist Peter T. Kilborn named Flower Mound a "Reloville", a title used to describe suburban communities where management employees often relocate frequently; as of 2006, 57% of residents were born in another state or country.

Due to the town's proximity to the DFW airport and many various major highways, a great number of businesses have recently moved some of their local operations into the town, including such businesses as: Best Buy and Stryker. The Lewisville Independent School District is the largest employer in the town, employing 1,647 (4.8% of the town's total employment). The Town of Flower Mound employs 455. Between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2009, the town experienced job growth of 26.53%.

Adeptus Health was founded in 2002 with its first emergency room located in Flower Mound.

The town of Flower Mound recognizes two major areas of current economic development: the Lakeside Business District and the Denton Creek District. The 265-acre (107 ha) Lakeside Business District includes plots of land zoned for various commercial and residential uses at the southern edge of town near the Grapevine Lake. The project filed for bankruptcy in the year 2010, but in February of the year 2012, the company Realty Capital unveiled a $1 billion and two dollar plan for a mixed-use development project within the district. The members of the Flower Mound town council voted to approve the project in November of the year 2012, and development of the 150-acre (61 ha) project was scheduled in six phases. Construction on the first phase, which includes 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) of commercial space, 170 loft apartments, and 170 home lots, began in April 2013.

In 2006, the town began to consider mixed-use development plans for the 1,500-acre (610 ha) Denton Creek District at the western edge of the town. In 2010, the town began to provide infrastructural support to the area. Additionally, developers broke ground on a 158-acre (64 ha) mixed-use riverwalk project in August 2013. Residents were scheduled to vote on whether to approve public funding for the district for the 2013 general election.

Schwarz Architects, Inc. designed, Parker Square, "a compact neighborhood center" "inspired by the traditional developments of American “main streets” and Texas small towns".

In 1976, in response to environmental concerns and automobile traffic congestion, Flower Mound residents proposed adding a system of recreational bike paths around the town. Initially, funding proved elusive, but by 1989 the first 1.3 miles (2.1 km) of multi-use trails had been constructed, partly funded by a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. In 2010, the town maintained 33 miles (53 km) of paved hiking and bicycling paths and 2 miles (3.2 km) of equestrian trails. The Purple Cone Flower trail starts in Stone Creek Park and is used by runners, walkers and dog walkers and bikers.

Additionally, the United States Army Corps of Engineers maintains 14 miles (23 km) of natural surface trails and 9 miles (14 km) of equestrian trails within the town limits, most of which are located around Grapevine Lake. The North Shore trail starts at Rock Ledge Park and travels west through Murrell Park and Twin Coves Park. (now owned by flower mound).

The Town of Flower Mound has been a home rule municipality since 1981, and it has operated under a council–manager type of municipal government since 1989. Residents elect five at-large members to the Flower Mound Town Council and one mayor. Members serve two-year terms. In 1999, the town adopted a Strategically Managed And Responsible Town (SMART) Growth Program to manage both the rate and character of development in the community, and in 2000, the town officially adopted its SMARTGrowth management plan. The program's goal was to create environmentally sensitive development and to mitigate the effects of urban sprawl.[Note 2] Political scientist Allan Saxe and attorney Terrence S. Welch have used Flower Mound's program as an example of a municipality attempting to slow growth. In 2013, the town amended the portion of the plan pertaining to public schools; the changes spurred public debate between candidates for town council.

According to the town's 2013–2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the town's various funds had $114.6 million in revenues, $101.8 million in expenditures, $513.3 million in total assets, $155.9 million in total liabilities, and $68.1 million in cash and investments.

 Garage Door Maintenance in Flower Mound, Texas

Simple Garage Door Maintenance You Can Do Yourself

The garage door is an important part of your home, and it can be a safety hazard if you don't keep it maintained. If you haven't had a professional tune up your garage door in a while, there are some simple maintenance steps you can perform yourself to help improve your safety conditions and decrease repair costs for years to come.

Visual Inspection

A visual inspection of the garage door is a must every six months. Look for peeling, fading or cracking that could affect your curb appeal and cause moisture to leak into your garage. Also, check your weatherstripping for tears or rips that can allow moisture to enter your garage and encourage mold growth.

Adjust the Photo-Eye Sensors

A common problem that causes garage doors to not automatically reverse is a misalignment of the photo-eye sensors. To fix this, remove any debris and clean the sensors. Then, realign them until the indicator light no longer flashes.

Tune Up Your Spring System

The springs on your garage door help it raise and lower. Regularly checking and maintaining the springs can keep them in good condition and extend the lifespan of your door. You can do a simple test to see whether or not your springs are properly balanced by pulling the release handle when you shut the door, then lifting it halfway up. If it stays in place, it's balanced; if it starts to slowly rise or drop, the springs are worn and need to be replaced.

Grease Your Overhead Springs and Chain or Screw

Keeping your garage door parts greased up will help them last longer and prevent corrosion. You can do this by spraying a white lithium grease, available at your local garage door specialist, on the opener's chain or screw. Then, you can add some spray lubricant to the springs.

Inspect the Tracks and Lift Cables

When your garage door is closed, it rests on the horizontal tracks that are attached to the wall on either side of your opening. The tracks can be damaged from rust or other damage, and they'll affect how your door opens and closes. Inspect the tracks for bending, rust or other signs of damage and contact a professional to repair them if necessary.

Install a Weather Seal Strip

The rubber weather seal strips on your garage door's bottom help keep water and other outside elements out of your garage. They're available at hardware and home improvement stores in different sizes, and can be installed in just a few minutes. They're a simple way to save energy and keep out unwanted drafts, insects and rodents.

Inspect Your Hinges and Vertical Tracks

When the hinges on your overhead door panels bend or sag, you'll need to replace them with new ones. Inspect the jamb brackets and strut that connect the vertical tracks to the framework on either side of your garage opening for excessive wear or dents.

If you notice a gap or tear in the weather seals or weather stripping, call a professional to have them replaced. This will ensure that you're not having to pay for repairs in the future, and will help keep out unwanted insects, critters and water from entering your garage.

 Garage Door Openers in Flower Mound, Texas

Choosing the Right Garage Door Opener

A Garage Door Opener is an important component of any home. They make it easy to get in and out of the garage while also keeping your family safe. They are also convenient and affordable to own.

There are many different kinds of Garage Door Openers available on the market today. Choosing which one is right for you can be confusing, but there are a few things to consider when making the decision.

Drive Options: There are four main drive types to choose from – chain, belt, screw and jackshaft. Each type operates differently and achieves the same goal – opening and closing your garage door.

Chain: The most common and least expensive, these openers use a metal chain to raise and lower the door. However, this can lead to noise issues and requires maintenance to keep it working properly.

Belt: Similar to automobile tires, these openers use a rubber belt to move the door up and down. They are quieter than chain or screw drives and also last longer.

Jackshaft: These garage doors are a bit noisier than belt or screw drives, but they are less costly and can save some vertical space in your garage. They can also be installed in places that are difficult to reach by other garage openers, such as over a low-ceilinged room or at the top of a steeply pitched roof.

Power: If you are concerned about power outages, then look for a garage opener with battery backup. These models will continue to work after the power is out, and some of them come with solar panels for extra energy storage.

Motor: Some openers use DC-type motors, which are quieter and more reliable than AC-type motors. They have variable speeds and can start up slowly and then slow down as the door opens to prevent it from slamming.

Security: Some garage door openers also include a rolling code feature that changes the code each time it is opened or closed. This helps to prevent thieves from hacking into your system and opening the door in your absence.

Keyless Entry: A lot of newer openers have keyless entry, which allows you to use a keypad or remote to open the garage door from inside the house. Some even have Wi-Fi capabilities and can be controlled with a smartphone app.

Safety Features: The most modern garage door openers are equipped with sensors that will detect objects in the way and reverse the doors automatically. This can be helpful if you have young children or pets, for instance.

Protector System: Some garage door openers have a protector system that projects a light beam across the entire door opening. This beam is used to detect any objects or people in the way.

If the beam is interrupted, it will automatically reverse the doors and close them. This helps prevent accidents and injuries.

You can also find garage door openers with a photo eye or safety reversing sensor, which uses a light beam to detect anything in the way of the door opening. This feature can be a lifesaver if you have to evacuate in an emergency.

 Garage Door Repair in Flower Mound, Texas

When you’re looking for a local garage door repair company, it’s important to do your research. Check their reviews, find out if they offer payment plans and look for one that has strong work guarantees.


Pros and Cons of Doing Garage Door Repair by Yourself

If you’re handy and enjoy working with your hands, do-it-yourself garage door repair might be a good option for you. It’s a great way to learn about the mechanics of your door and its parts, and you can save money on labor costs.

Some repairs are pretty easy to do, while others are more complex. Before you start, make sure your tools are the right size and you have enough time to complete the job. You should also have a list of tasks and a timeline for when you need to get them done so you can stay on top of it all.

For example, if your garage door is shaking when you open or close it, that could be a sign that the tracks are misaligned or damaged. You can try straightening them with a soft mallet, or you can call a garage door professional to do it for you.

Another common problem is that your garage door doesn’t seem to move when you press the button. You may need to adjust the limits on your opener to make it move a little more slowly when you open or close it.

This problem could be caused by a broken spring, which will need to be replaced. Replacement springs can cost anywhere from $100 to $200 depending on their size, material and weight.

If the doors of your garage aren’t properly sealed, they can let in drafts and heat that can increase your energy bill. Replacing them with insulated polyurethane panels will help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, saving you a lot of money over time.

It’s also easier to replace a door with multiple cracked or rotting panels than it is to repair a single panel. If the damage to your garage is extensive, you’ll want to think about replacing it altogether so that you don’t have to worry about cracks spreading and compromising the structural integrity of your garage door.

Lastly, hiring a professional is always safer than trying to fix your own garage door. You don’t want to end up hurting yourself or your family. You should always follow the proper safety precautions and use the right tools when fixing your own garage door.

If you need garage door repair, don’t hesitate to give us a call here at The Woodlands Garage Door Service! Our technicians have the experience, training and knowledge to handle any type of door repair or replacement. We pride ourselves on quality work and a strong customer satisfaction rating.

 Gutter Installation in Flower Mound, Texas

Gutters are a vital component of any home that’s in need of waterproofing. They channel rain and snow off the roof, preventing water damage to foundations, basements, and landscaping. They also help keep your home free of mold and mildew.


What to Expect from a Professional Gutter Installation

When gutters need to be replaced, hiring a professional is the best option. This will ensure that your new system is installed correctly and safely. It can also save you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs down the road.

The first step in a gutter replacement is measuring your current gutters and finding the right lengths for your roof. Ideally, gutters will extend about 10 feet from the center of the house to both ends and will have a gradual slope toward the downspout outlet.

Gutter slope is one of the most important elements of a seamless gutter installation, as it creates an ideal drainage system. If the slope is too steep, water may pool in the gutter, instead of flowing into the downspout. If the slope is too gentle, water will flow onto the house and foundation.

A reputable gutter installer will take the time to measure your existing system and calculate the new sizes needed for your roof. They will also be able to determine whether or not your current downspouts are working properly and if they need replacing.

Once your gutters have been measured and ordered, it’s time to install them. Most reputable installers use special screws to affix your gutters to the fascia boards of your home, so you won’t have to worry about nails damaging your siding or other home materials.

Next, a pro will measure and cut your downspouts to match the size of your new gutters. They will also attach downspout elbows to the end of your gutter to direct water away from your foundation and prevent further water damage.

If your home is older or has a low-sloped roof, a pro will recommend installing gutter extensions at each corner of the house. This will increase the length of your downspouts by about half a foot and allow for greater flow.

The pro will also measure and install downspouts at the correct pitch for the roof. If the gutter is too steep, it can cause water to overflow and overrun the downspout, causing it to leak and deteriorate faster than a more gradual slope.

A good gutter installation pro will also know how to attach the downspouts at the proper angle so that they can direct water efficiently and safely. They will also make sure to leave a sufficient amount of space between the downspout and your foundation for the water to flow away from it.

During the gutter installation process, make sure that the pro doesn’t install any gutters higher than your roof shingles. This will prevent rain from running down the shingle edge, which can cause a drip that could lead to water damage inside your home.

A professional gutter installation company will be able to install seamless gutters that look great and work well on your property. They can also be trusted to perform the job in a safe manner and follow all local building codes and regulations. In addition, they will have the tools and equipment to complete the job quickly and efficiently. They are usually bonded and insured, and most carry warranties on their work.

 Roof Repair in Flower Mound, Texas

How to Keep Your Roof in Good Shape

A roof is an important part of a home. If it becomes damaged, the home can suffer from severe structural issues. It can also promote moisture buildup that can damage wall paint or furniture, and even short circuit electrical wiring. Whether your roof is old or new, there are ways to keep it in good shape.

A leak is one of the most common signs that your roof needs repair. If you spot a leak, try to find the source by using a garden hose. Soak the area just above the drip, then move the hose up to the roof.

Roofing materials vary in cost and durability. Asphalt shingles are on the low end of the spectrum, while metal and slate tiles are more expensive.

The material you choose for your roof affects how much you’ll pay to have it repaired or replaced. Some materials, like clay tile and cedar shakes, are more likely to deteriorate than others, so you may need to replace them sooner than you think.

You may also need to have a roof repair if it is showing signs of wear or if you live in an area that experiences severe storms. For example, hail can cause a significant amount of damage to your roof and make it impossible to repair it on your own.

When you do have to have repairs done, it’s important to do them right the first time. That way you can minimize the chance for future issues to occur and save money in the long run.

A professional Texas roof repair company can do all of the work, saving you time and money in the long run. They’ll be able to get to the source of the problem and get it fixed properly the first time.

The best roofers will be able to inspect your entire roof and determine what repairs need to be made. This includes taking a look at the soffits and gutters, as well as the decking and insulation. They’ll also be able to spot any soft spots that need to be replaced, which will help prevent rot and mold.

If you’re having a roof replaced, you should also make sure it has proper drainage and ventilation. That way, any water that does get into the home won’t cause any serious damage or mold to develop.

Check for cracked or broken seams at the top of plastic roof vents. If you see any cracks, then they’re probably a sign that the vent needs to be replaced. You’ll also want to examine the vent for pulled or missing nails at its base. These are usually easy to work loose, so you can pull the vent free.

Shiners (or sags) on the roof are another sign that you might need to have your roof repaired. This is because nails that were missed by a carpenter when they nailed the sheathing to the rafters are often left behind, and when they’re cold, they freeze, causing moisture to condense on them.

 Roof Replacement in Flower Mound, Texas

A roof is an important part of any home. It protects your home from weather, and it helps keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. A roof also adds to the overall look of your home.

What to Expect from Roof Replacement

Whether your roof is old and in need of replacement or you are planning a renovation, it is important to know what to expect before the job starts. This will help you prepare for the big day and make sure your project goes smoothly, resulting in an excellent finished product.

Your Roof’s Aesthetic Needs

If you are replacing the roof on your home, the style of shingles you choose can make or break the overall look of your new roof. There are many types of shingles, ranging from low-cost asphalt to luxury copper and metal. The materials you choose will have a huge impact on your new roof’s aesthetic and cost, so it’s important to consider what you want your roof to look like before making any decisions.

The Cost of Your Roof

Several factors can affect the cost of your roof replacement, including the size of your home, the type of roofing material you select, and the complexity of the job. You’ll also want to think about the type of slope and roof pitch that your home has, since these will play a role in your choice of shingles or other materials.

The Aesthetic of Your New Roof

You may not be thinking about the aesthetic of your roof, but a great looking roof will not only protect your home but also boost your property’s value. If you are unsure how to create an attractive roof, contact a professional roofing company and ask for advice on the best materials and options for your unique property.

How Often Should I Replace My Roof?

How long your roof will last depends on the material you use and how well it is constructed. Composite shingles typically last between 15 and 30 years, wood shingles will last much longer, and rubber and metal roofs can last for up to 50 or more years.

Your roof’s square footage will also have an impact on your roof’s cost, so it’s important to get a good estimate of how much square footage you have before getting an estimate for the project. This can be a challenging task, but it’s an essential step in the process.

Measure the Footprint of Your Roof

Taking measurements can be time-consuming and confusing, but it’s a vital step in the roof replacement process. Count the steps you take when walking up and down your roof to find out its footprint (you can even use a measuring tape).

Next, draw your roof in flat planes using a pencil and a notepad. You’ll need to label each plane with a number and the length and width of that plane. If you don’t label each plane properly, your contractor won’t be able to build your roof back up correctly.

Why Roofing Maintenance Is Necessary

Your home's roof is one of the most important and vulnerable components of your property. Its main function is to protect your family from the elements. Roofing maintenance is necessary to make sure that your roof serves its purpose for many years to come.

Roofing Maintenance is essential for a variety of reasons, including:

Minor damages can quickly turn into major ones if left unattended. This is why it's vital to regularly inspect your roof for any small issues, such as a leak or missing shingles. These problems can cause rot and structural damage that will require costly repairs or replacements.

The most effective way to maintain your roof is through an annual maintenance plan with a licensed and experienced professional roofing company. These maintenance plans offer a guaranteed inspection that's sure to catch any minor issues before they become serious, costly and damaging.

Flashing: A common problem that causes water damage is broken or rusted flashings, which are pieces of metal installed on the edges and joints of a roof system to prevent water from entering the home through the roof. If you see cracked or damaged flashing, have it replaced immediately to prevent further water damage.

Keeping Your Roof Free of Debris: Over time, debris can cause moisture to build up on your roof and may even encourage mold growth and rot. It's important to clean your roof and remove any debris that's accumulated on it, especially in the winter.

Regular cleaning of the gutters and downspouts is also key to maintaining a healthy roof. This will help prevent ice dams and other damage that can result from water sitting on the roof for too long.

It is also a good idea to check your attic regularly for any signs of leaks or water damage. These problems are not always obvious but can be spotted by discoloration or puddles of water inside your attic.

You can also check your soffit for any signs of moisture or leaks. These are often caused by clogged gutters or drains, so you'll want to clear them out as soon as possible to prevent further damage from occurring.

Trees and limbs can also be a hazard to your roof. Trimming branches that are too close to the roof can be a great way to avoid damage in the event of a storm.

Lastly, have your roof ventilation system checked and maintained by a professional. This can help keep energy costs down and allow your roof to better handle weather extremes.

If you notice any of the above conditions, it is recommended to hire a professional roofer right away to fix or replace the damaged part of your roof. A professional will be able to ensure that your roof is in tip-top shape and ready for the upcoming seasons.

A well-maintained roof will last for years to come, so it is worth investing in a comprehensive roofing maintenance plan that includes guaranteed inspections and repairs. This plan will also save you money by preventing large and expensive repairs later on.
