Husband-wife team teach how to use common sense to keep the roof over your head

THE WOODLANDS, TX – More than four decades of topping off Woodlands-area homes and businesses with top-notch roofing services have made Roland & Deborah Tejada – co-owners of Tejas Roofing & Contracting – experts in the dos and don’ts of roof installation, replacement, maintenance, and repair.

“It may be hard to believe, but getting your roof just right is easier than you think,” said Deborah, who is known throughout the community as ‘Deb.’

Whether commercial or residential, a roof can make or break a property, literally and figuratively. In particular, local Texas-type conditions – from blazing sun and blistering heat to pelting hail and howling hurricanes – can cause your roof to take enough of a beating to lead to a premature repair or replacement.

Not only does Tejas have decades of experience, but it also brings a decades-old work ethic to The Woodlands. “Do you remember when people kept their word?” Deb asked Woodlands Online. “When there were true craftsmen, and when experience mattered? Because we do. We deliver reliability people can count on, built on integrity, quality, and caring.”

Tejas’ goal is to make a complicated process simple. Established in 1981, Tejas’ partnerships have included Sears and Astroworld. The business specializes in new roof and roof repairs but covers all aspects of having something over your head to keep you safe, cool, and dry.

“Experience counts; experience is vital,” said Deb. “We listen to our customers and educate them in the process, so that by the end product they have peace of mind. Trust is established in our guidance.”

Deb warns about using someone who is not fully qualified for your particular job. “I just had a very knowledgeable individual in finance tell me he almost chose someone who does remodeling to do his roof. If the ‘lane’ is remodeling, that is not roofing. The company you choose must have a history. They need to be able to answer where they purchase their materials and insurance. The roof you install will only be as good as the crew who does it.

Their expert roof inspectors have worked for them for more than two decades, and their Master Elite-certified roofers can easily diagnose the hard-to-find roof leak and repair it right then and there. Deb boasts that many roof repairs can be done on the very same day. Additionally, the business also offers a one-year warranty on most roof repairs.

Deb cautions that solar panels should never be installed on an older roof. “Roofing companies will not touch solar panels; no one wants to be responsible for the removal, nor do roofers install them,” she told Woodlands Online. “Be sure your roof is in tip-top shape before installing solar panels; the expense of removal is enormous.”

The company is a Veterans Administration-approved contractor, working with VA SHA grants to remodel homes and make them wheelchair accessible and handicap accessible down to bathroom modifications. Tejas is also a preferred contract with all the major insurance companies. “We help walk through the maze of insurance claims,” said Deb.

“Your best asset is your home, and you need to be able to trust whoever fixes it,” said Deb.
