Roofing in Midland, TX

Midland is the seat of Midland County and a business center of the Permian Basin, sitting on Interstate 20 in the heart of West Texas oil country. Midland homes and businesses can get a roof inspection and an estimate from Roaring Ranger Roofing free of charge, with emergency phone help available 24/7.

The Tall City

Midland earned the nickname "the Tall City" for the downtown skyline rising out of the flat plains. The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, right on I-20, tells the story of the region's oil industry with exhibits on drilling and an outdoor collection of historic oil rigs. Energy has shaped Midland's economy, and with it, waves of growth that left their mark on the city's neighborhoods.

Midland homes

Midland's housing reflects its boom-and-build history. Established neighborhoods near downtown hold older ranch and two-story homes with mature trees, many of which have been reroofed over the years. Newer subdivisions and growth areas around the city's outskirts often feature larger homes and more complex rooflines. Rural properties in Midland County may have outbuildings and shops with roofs of their own. Whatever the age of the home, the high plains environment tends to expose weak spots, especially along roof edges, ridges, and flashing.

Semi-arid weather, sudden storms

The National Weather Service describes the Midland-Odessa area as semi-arid, with level terrain and little to block the wind. Much of the year's rain arrives in violent spring and early summer thunderstorms, which can bring heavy rainfall over small areas and sometimes hail. In late winter and early spring, strong winds frequently kick up blowing dust. Summers are hot and dry, and winters bring frequent cold fronts followed by rapid warming.

For a roof, that means:

• Wind that can lift shingle tabs and break seal strips, especially on exposed ridges
• Hail from spring and early summer storms
• Blowing dust and grit that clogs gutters and soffit vents and scours shingle surfaces
• Intense sun that dries out asphalt shingles and rubber pipe boots
• Quick temperature swings that work fasteners and flashing loose over time

Keeping vents clear

Dust can collect in soffit vents and screens until airflow drops, which traps heat in the attic. After a dust event, look at your soffits from the ground and note any vents that appear packed or blocked. Clear gutters and downspouts too, since a mix of dust and debris can turn into a dam the next time it rains.
