Roofing in Mount Vernon, TX

Mount Vernon is the Franklin County seat, on I-30 east of Sulphur Springs. It is a small courthouse-square town. The roofing that fits here is on houses, not on big commercial buildings. Around the square and the older streets you find frame houses and brick homes shaded by mature trees. Out toward Lake Cypress Springs the lots open up, and a house may have a long eave, a porch roof, and a main roof that takes weather from a different direction. Tree cover and open water are two different problems.

Shade keeps a Mount Vernon roof cooler, and it also keeps it wet. Leaves sit in a valley. A limb drops on a ridge during a thunderstorm. Algae holds moisture on the north slope. Hail still gets through the canopy on the slopes that face the storm, so one house can have a bruised front and a mossy back. Wind off an open lot by the lake worries the edges: rake metal, gutter apron, and the first course of shingles. After a spring storm, those edges tell you more than the color of the shingles does.

We install new roofs, tear off old ones, put on an overlay when it is actually appropriate, and install metal roofs for Mount Vernon homeowners. A porch roof and a main roof do not have to be the same material, but the flashing where they meet has to be done on purpose. On an older in-town house we would rather tear off and see the deck than add a third layer nobody has counted. Metal fits a lot of the houses out in the trees, where homeowners want something that sheds needles and handles wind. We will walk the roof and tell you which choice matches what is there.
