Reused flashing
Old flashing kept during a re-roof can wear out early.
New Territory is a master-planned community that opened in 1989 and is now part of Sugar Land. Many of its homes are on their second roof, and some of those roofs are aging too. A careful leak check helps you decide what really needs fixing.
New Territory sits between US 90 and the Brazos River in eastern Fort Bend County. Sugar Land annexed it in 2017. Homes here range from single-story houses to large two-story homes with complex roofs.
On homes of this age, leaks often show up at roof valleys, around chimneys and at vent pipes. If a replacement was done years ago, ask whether old flashing was reused. Reused flashing can fail before the new shingles do.
