Our estimates are only free of charge for the current property owner.
Always, a successful repair starts with the roof and attic inspection for proper diagnosis! At JC&C Roofing Company of Alvin, Texas, we pay attention to details. It is important to inspect your attic to assist in finding the source of the leak, looking for interior sheetrock water stains and peeling paint to confirm the repairability of the damages. If we don’t find the real source, it will be impossible to correct the problem. In most cases when the leak is old, it is easier to trace the leak.
But with new leaks, it is extremely hardier to find the problem because new leaks have not formed a watermark yet. In some cases, we have to perform a water test with your garden hose to trace the leak and in extreme cases we have to come back when it is storming and raining. These cases are more common in 3/12 to 4/12 pitch roofs and oftentimes we see leaks on roofs that have deck boards (aka wood planks).
At JC&C Roofing of Alvin, we are making the roof repair process more transparent! Roofers are well known for having a bad reputation oftentimes compared to car mechanics. In our efforts to make the roof repair process more transparent, when we are doing a roof repair in our Alvin neighborhoods we document the roofing repairs with pictures from our arrival, to climbing the roof, and before we touch anything.
We take pictures of everything. We specifically document the removal of the shingles, removal of the underlayment and condition of the plywood. And if the plywood needs to be repaired, we photograph each new piece of plywood.

Always, we do our best to match your roof shingles for repair as close to your existing shingle color. If your roof is newer than 10 years, color matching won’t be a problem. Keep in mind due to your new roof shingles not having exposure to the elements of nature, the color will be slightly different but decent.
If you don’t have the roof’s information from your prior installation, we simply grab a roof shingle sample and take it to our roof shingle distributor to try to figure out the roof color repair shingle.
• Having a mismatched shingle repair over the front porch or on the roof’s front slope is not funny. It Looks Horrible! You will find we are different from our competition because some of them do it on purpose, that way you will be feeling obligated to quickly replace your roof.
• Not all the shingles are the same, in the Alvin, Texas market and surrounding areas. There are approximately 8 shingle roofing supply companies who provide the most popular brands, colors, sizes, shapes, and styles. This is good to know because all those things change from brand to brand. All this may sound too complicated especially at the time you are doing a roof repair, but don’t worry we got you covered!
In Alvin Texas, plumbing vents are something every house requires for taking the septic and plumbing odors out your house. Every house on average has around 8 plumbing vent flashing. They come in a large variety of styles. The most common are the Rubber boot flashings, galvanized or aluminum standard rubber collar flashing, Economy Lead flashing or Alvin Code flashing, bullet boots and the newest most fancy one the Ultimate Pipe flashing until today are the best on the Alvin’s Area.
Depending on the knowledge of your previous roofer, every flashing has a different application. We take into consideration the complexity of your roof, your surrounding environment and whether your shingle type requires flashing. For example, you never need to install lead flashing on areas that have a lot of mature trees and squirrels because the squirrels chew the lead flashing which will later leak. Another thing that can make a plumbing vent flashing leaks and this is the most common, is poor workmanship!
Rubber boots, galvanized and aluminum standard rubber collar flashings only last from 8 – 12 years. The majority of these flashing cannot be painted, so when the roofer paints the flashing they shorten the life expectancy of the rubber. To meet your HOA Requires and to enhance curb appeal, we paint them to match the existing roof.
At JC&C Roofing Company of Alvin, Texas, when we are going to repair a leak from a plumbing vent flashing, we start with removing the shingles around the vent flashing and then remove the underlayment in the same area. If you don’t do it this way, the plywood will rot from excessive moisture on the plywood causing 100% leakage no matter what caulking, shingles or leak barrier you use. It will still leak! We make sure the transition from the new shingles to the old shingles are manually sealed with roof cement.
If you want your leaky plumbing vent flashing replaced and done right the first time, don’t hesitate to call us at 713-ROOFING for a free estimate on your plumbing vent flashing repair.
We are the best Alvin roof repair solution!
No matter what they say, plastic slant back roof vents and plastic roof vent domes won’t perform well in Alvin’s heat nor the surrounding areas. These vents curl, crack, and leak plus combined with poor workmanship are a recipe for disaster. Rubber boots are one of the most repaired items in the Alvin, Texas neighborhoods.
Continually, our minds are blown by how many roofers replace a roof or do a repair and still use these materials especially when the aluminum or metal vents only cost a couple dollars more. Unbelievable practices! If you’re planning on getting your roof replaced soon or planning on doing some roof repairs, don’t allow your roofer to use one of these flashings: the plastic slant back roof vent or the plastic roof vent dome.
Not sure if you have a leak, you can always check in your attic for water staining on your plywood specially close to your vents. Pay attention, you don’t have the expertise and can get seriously hurt or cause damage to your house, attics can be dangerous. At the time to replace your plastic slant back roof vents, make sure they remove your shingles and underlayment around the vents.
If needed after the plywood repairs have been completed, they must install a leak barrier, the new shingles similar in style, size and color and the brand new aluminum or metal slant back roof vent. Always in the transition from the new shingles with the old shingles, we manually seal with roof cement.
Missing roof shingles, in Alvin’s Texas? These roofs are very susceptible to wind damage because we are very close to the coast and every year the windstorm becomes more aggressive. Depending on the type of your roof shingles, most 3 tab shingles come with the maximum wind speed coverage up to 60 MPH, that’s the reason most roofs are susceptible to wind damage when a windstorm in spring carries wind gusts up 80 MPH.
The laminated architectural shingles come with a better wind warranty coverage, the standard in the industry for new roofs is 110 MPH. If you’re using a certified manufacturer contractor like us and the roof installation is based on the manufacturer’s specifications, the warranty jumps up to 130 MPH for the first 15 years. These types of shingles are less likely to become damaged by wind and are very hard to get missing roof shingles, unless the roof was not properly installed. Only in some extreme cases, the roof will have to be replaced if there is excessive wind damage.
With our free roof inspection, we will be able to properly diagnose if any damage was the result of wind damage or is the result of poor workmanship.
Roof wall flashing is another area roofers will cut corners and you are left with easy to leak areas. Installing shingles on the walls isn’t as complicated as it sounds. We have the right roofers to install the best materials with patience, it is important to properly remove the old shingles, old flashing if removable and old underlayment.
This process with the underlayment removal is key because you may have to replace rotten or water stained plywood. The nails won’t be able to hold to your plywood and will pop up resulting in another leak. After the completion of the plywood repair, we will have to install the leak barrier (Ice & Water Shield Protection) then install the shingles (Make sure the shingles are the same style.
For example: if you have a 3 Tab Shingle you cannot mix it with a Laminated Architectural Shingles or Designer Shingles even if the manufacturers are the same or if you have IKO Cambridge Weathered Wood shingles, you can’t combined with Tamko Heritage Shingles. We purchase what is needed to properly do the repair. So NO, we do not use leftover materials. Always in the transition from the new shingles with the old shingles, we manually sealed with roof cement.
Chimney Flashing Leaks are very susceptible to leaks for many different reasons. The most common reason chimney leaks are:
• Chimney Flashing made of brick mortar or stucco, a specific size of flashing is required depending on the brick cut made with the grinder. If the flashing is too small, the flashing underneath the shingles will get loose and will leak. The chimney with stone instead of brick mortar, in older houses when very old or has very deep mortar requires a custom flashing. The standard flashing in the industry is 5” metal exposure with a ¼ inch lip and in these cases requires a larger lip depending on the size of the stone or the brick mortar because the exposure depends on the size needed. We have a partnership with a sheet metal shop that provides custom flashing in the moment according to our specifications.
• Chimney Cricket: Manufacturers recommended every chimney larger than 20”, (IRC only recommends 24”) have to have a chimney cricket built. The lack of a chimney cricket, especially when you have a tree close to your roof, accumulates of leaves and when you have a pile of leaves can rotten your metal flashing and cause leaks. The reason you need a chimney cricket.
• Step flashing is needed during the chimney flashing installation, it is required to have the chimney step flashing (Tin Shingles) installed on your chimney.
• Does the leak barrier around the chimney make a difference during the installation? Yes and no. Leak barrier really helps and works as a moisture barrier but if the chimney flashing is not properly installed or the roofer didn’t install the wings on the flashing, there will be leaks.
• The bottom flashing below the chimney is important. Most of these flashings have 3” exposure and the flashing has to be at least 4” exposure, and we always recommend doing this at the job site using the valley metal. Never buy the premade flashing already bent in a 90 degrees angle, no matter how good you open it the flashing will always lift up.
• Chimney Chase Covers in a lot of cases the rust penetrates the metal or the roofer who installs the chimney chase covers put nails on the flat area making it a source for leaks, so we always recommend to install a high temperature tape between the chimney chase cover and actual chimney tube, underneath the storm collar, when the tape is not installed this are becomes another source for leaks.
• At the time to perform a chimney repair, it is very important to remove the shingles, underlayment, flashings, leak barrier around the chimney to inspect the plywood. If the plywood is rotten or has moisture transferred, the plywood has to be removed! If it is not done this way, it will leak again!
In Alvin, we have a very simple technique to diagnose the cause of chimney leaks:
• If the leak is between the plywood and the chimney brick in your attic, the leakage will be related to the chimney flashing especially if there is no cricket or wings.
• If the leak is on the brick in the middle of the chimney and if the water bleeds in the middle of the bricks, the leak will be related to a defective chimney brick mortar.
• If the leak is inside your chimney where the fire is, it will be related to your flue cap, storm collar or chimney chase cover.
In Alvin, skylight roof leak problems are very common to the point that some homeowners get so sick of dealing with skylight roof leaks by closing the skylights. These skylight roof leaks happen for different reasons. The most common reason is for improper flashing installation, the lack of flashing, or cracks on the skylights. Re-flashing a skylight has exactly the same process as re-flashing a chimney.
It is recommended to replace your skylight every time you replace your roof. It is not recommended to re-used your skylight especially when you have a self-flashing skylight. Never is recommended to install a self-flashing skylight on a roof with a pitch below 4/12 or if your roof accumulates a lot of leaves.
The 3 most common skylights are:
