Install details on new homes
Short flashing, missing kick-out pieces and loose vent collars can leak early.
Fulshear has grown fast, and many homes here are only a few years old. A new roof can still leak. Small install details, like a missed sealant line or a short piece of flashing, can let water in during the first big storms.
Fulshear sits in western Fort Bend County, west of Cinco Ranch. Large communities have filled in open land around FM 1093 and FM 359. Older homes and country lots are mixed in with brand-new streets.
Open land means wind can hit roofs with little to slow it down. Wind-driven rain can find gaps that light rain never reaches. On newer homes, leaks often trace back to flashing, vent seals or roof edges rather than worn-out shingles.
