Lockhart Roof Repair You Can Depend On
When a Texas storm rolls in, the first sound you usually hear is rain hitting the roof. The next might be water dripping somewhere it shouldnโt. In Lockhart, the weather doesnโt ask permissionโhail, wind, and sun all take their turns tearing at shingles and metal panels. Thatโs why having a roofer who knows how to fix things right matters.
Ja-Mar Roofing & Sheet Metal has been repairing roofs in Central Texas for over fifty years. From tiny leaks to major storm damage, weโve seen it all and fixed it allโresidential, commercial, industrial. We know Lockhart roofs donโt just need patchwork; they need lasting solutions that can take another summer of heat and another season of storms.
Everyday Repairs and the Ones You Donโt Plan For
Not every repair is an emergency, but all of them need attention before they grow. Shingles curl, flashing loosens, screws back out of metal panels. Sometimes itโs just time doing what time does. Other times, itโs last nightโs hailstorm leaving soft bruises that start leaking weeks later.
We handle:
- Storm damageโhail dents, lifted shingles, punctured membranes, and wind-torn flashing.
- Leak repairโtracing moisture back to its real source instead of guessing from a ceiling stain.
- Emergency roof repairโwhen the rainโs already coming in and you need someone now.
- Routine maintenanceโresealing vents, tightening fasteners, clearing drains, checking ridges.
Lockhart roofs see all of it, and weโve repaired every kind of systemโcomposition shingle, standing-seam metal, TPO, modified bitumen, tile, and specialty coatings.
How Roof Damage Starts
Sometimes itโs obvious: hailstones the size of marbles, or shingles scattered across the yard. Other times, itโs quieterโUV exposure, expansion and contraction, or that one branch thatโs been brushing the eave for years.
Common troublemakers around here include:
- Hail and debris impact that fractures shingle granules or dents metal.
- Wind uplift that breaks seal strips and lets water slip underneath.
- Heat and age that dry out sealant and flashing.
- Poor ventilation that bakes the decking from below.
- Improper installation from someone cutting corners years ago.
Roof systems fail in different ways, but the result is the same: water finds a path inside. Our repair process starts with stopping that path for good.
The Lockhart Roof Repair Process
Every repair begins with a full inspection. We check not just the obvious damage but whatโs underneathโdecking, fasteners, underlayment, ventilation. Once we know the cause, weโll walk you through options in plain language.
Then the work begins:
Secure and protect: If thereโs active leaking, we tarp or seal it right away.
Remove damaged materials: No shortcutsโbad shingles, rusted panels, loose flashing all come off.
Inspect decking: Soft spots or rot get replaced, not covered up.
Repair and rebuild: We install new components to manufacturer specs, matching color and profile where possible.
Seal and clean: Every seam gets sealed, every nail set, and the property swept clean before we leave.
Itโs the same process whether itโs a 20-year-old shingle roof or a new metal system on a warehouseโthorough, efficient, and built to last.
Shingle Roof Repairs
Asphalt shingles are common in Lockhart neighborhoods because they look good and fit most budgets. But they take a beating in our climate. Granule loss, lifted tabs, cracked cornersโonce that protective layer thins, UV light cooks the asphalt and water sneaks in.
We replace missing or damaged shingles, reseal flashing, and check ridge caps for heat cracking. When several sections start failing at once, weโll tell you honestly whether full replacement makes more sense. Sometimes a half-day repair buys you five more years. Sometimes itโs throwing good money after bad. Either way, youโll know.
Metal Roof Repairs
Metal roofs are tough, but theyโre not indestructible. Expansion and contraction loosen screws over time. Hail leaves dents that look cosmetic but can break coatings. Fasteners rust, seams separate, and flashing dries out.
Our crews handle standing-seam and exposed-fastener systems, fabricating replacement panels when needed. We use butyl tape and sealants rated for metal flex, not generic caulk that fails in six months.
For older systems, we offer panel coatings that restore reflectivity and seal hairline cracks. If your metal roofโs over twenty years old, weโll also inspect underlayment and insulationโthose hidden layers often tell the real story.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Repairs
Commercial and industrial buildings around Lockhart often have TPO or modified bitumen roofs. When drains clog or seams open, water ponds and eats at the membrane. Left alone, that pond becomes a leak into wiring, stock rooms, or ceiling tiles.
We patch, weld, or re-coat membranes, replace flashing, and fix slope issues so water runs where itโs supposed to. We also offer preventive maintenance programsโscheduled inspections, minor fixes, and detailed reports that help owners avoid big shutdowns later.
Emergency Roof Repair Services
When waterโs pouring in, thereโs no time to plan. We run 24-hour emergency service for Lockhart and surrounding communities. The goal isnโt prettyโitโs dry. Our crews tarp or board damaged areas, stop leaks, and return once weather clears for permanent repair.
Quick action can save drywall, flooring, and wiring. Insurance adjusters also prefer seeing professional temporary protectionโit shows you acted fast, which helps claims move smoother.
If you wake up to a drip at 2 a.m., call us. Weโll stabilize it first, fix it right after.
Routine Maintenance and Roof Tune-Ups
Not every job needs a truckload of materials. Sometimes roofs just need care. We tighten fasteners, reseal vents, check flashing, clear gutters, and ensure ventilation is doing its job.
A roof maintenance plan is the cheapest way to stretch life expectancy. Twice-a-year visits catch the little things before they grow teeth. For metal roofs, that means tightening seams; for shingles, replacing cracked tabs; for flat roofs, clearing drains. Itโs small work with big payoff.
Residential Roof Repair in Lockhart
For homeowners, a roof problem feels personalโitโs your house, your belongings. We treat it that way. Whether youโve got a 15-year-old composition roof or a brand-new metal system, our residential team knows how to restore it fast.
We match colors carefully, keep job sites tidy, and communicate every step. If storm damage needs insurance involvement, weโll document everything for youโphotos, measurements, and detailed repair notes adjusters appreciate.
And if inspection shows more damage than repair makes sense for, weโll help you price a replacement, not pressure you into it.
Commercial and Industrial Roof Repairs
Businesses depend on dry roofs even more than homes do. A single leak over equipment or product racks can cost thousands. Our commercial division handles repairs on TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and metal panel systems for offices, warehouses, and manufacturing spaces.
We know how to work around your scheduleโearly mornings, weekends, or section by section so operations keep running. Crews are OSHA-trained, fully insured, and used to working safely at height.
After repairs, we provide a written maintenance report outlining what was fixed and what should be monitored. Itโs part of how we help facility managers plan budgets and avoid emergencies.
Free Roof Inspections and Honest Guidance
Every repair starts with knowledge. Thatโs why Ja-Mar Roofing offers free roof inspections throughout Lockhart. We climb up, take photos, and explain what we findโno technical jargon, no scare tactics.
If a few repairs will do the job, weโll say so. If your roofโs near the end of its life, weโll walk you through what replacement would cost and why it might be smarter long-term. Youโll always get straight answers.
When Repairs Arenโt Enough
Sometimes a roofโs too far gone. Water has traveled under layers, deckingโs soft, or past repairs have patched over deeper issues. When that happens, replacement becomes the responsible move.
Because Ja-Mar Roofing handles both repair and replacement, you wonโt get conflicting opinions. We know where the line is, and weโll help you cross it only when necessary. Our goalโs the same as yoursโget the most out of your current roof, but donโt throw money at one thatโs finished.
