Roofing in Abilene, TX

Abilene is the county seat of Taylor County, and the city stretches north into Jones County as well. It's the western anchor of our I-20 corridor. Abilene homeowners and businesses can count on Roaring Ranger Roofing for a roof inspection and an estimate that are both free, plus an emergency phone line that's open around the clock.

A city of colleges, history, and the Air Force

Abilene is home to three universities: Abilene Christian University, Hardin-Simmons University, and McMurry University. Dyess Air Force Base sits on the southwest side of the city, and its history goes back to Tye Army Air Field during World War II. Downtown, Frontier Texas! tells the story of the region's frontier days and doubles as the official visitor center, while the bronze storybook sculptures around the cultural district earned Abilene the title of Storybook Capital of America.

Abilene housing, old and new

Abilene's neighborhoods cover a lot of ground and a lot of decades. Near downtown and around the older university campuses, you'll find established homes with mature trees, detached garages, and roofs that have often been redone more than once. Homes that change hands often, including rentals, can come with a roof whose history nobody knows. Newer subdivisions on the edges of the city tend to have larger, more complex rooflines with multiple valleys and hips. Each type has its weak points, from aging flashing on older homes to valleys and ridge lines that bear the brunt of storms on newer ones.

Wind, hail, and a lot of sun

Abilene sits in West Central Texas, where open terrain lets wind build with little to slow it down. Strong gusts can break the seal on shingles and lift them at the edges, and once a shingle has been lifted, the next windstorm has an easier time pulling it free. Spring storm season can bring large hail and intense downpours. In summer, high heat and relentless sun dry out asphalt shingles and wear away their granule coating. Winter is generally short, but cold fronts can drop temperatures quickly, and freezing rain occasionally glazes roofs and trees.

If wind is your main worry, our post on common roof leak causes explains how lifted shingles and loose flashing let water in. For the bigger picture on roof life, read how long shingle roofs last in Texas.
