What RNC Roofing Covers In Florida, Texas, And Louisiana

We built RNC roofing around one promise: when the weather turns, we show up. From Odessa and Panama City to Dallas, Austin, and beyond, we’re here 24/7 to restore your peace of mind. Our comprehensive roofing services cover everything from emergency tarping and water extraction to full roof replacements and insurance claim support. We handle hail damage, wind damage, fallen trees, structural compromises, and all the hidden problems that emerge after severe weather, because we know that what you see on the surface is often just the beginning.

Residential Versus Commercial Needs

Every property has unique needs. For homeowners, our priority is protecting your comfort and investment. We schedule work conveniently, keep communication clear, and handle your home with care and professionalism.

For businesses, we understand downtime isn’t an option. Every hour your operations are interrupted means lost revenue, disrupted supply chains, and frustrated customers. We move quickly to keep your doors open, often working after-hours or in phases to minimize disruption. Whether you manage a single retail location, an office building, a manufacturing facility, or an entire multi-state portfolio, we tailor our approach to your operational realities and timeline constraints.

  • For homeowners: Complete roof restoration that protects your family and preserves your home’s value. From initial damage assessment to final inspection, we guide you through every step, including navigating insurance claims and selecting materials that match your home’s style and your budget. Explore our dedicated Roof Repair page.
  • For businesses: Solutions designed to safeguard your people and your bottom line. We coordinate with property managers, building owners, and facility directors to develop restoration plans that align with your business continuity requirements. When multiple trades are needed—electrical, HVAC, interior buildout—we coordinate everything through our General Contracting team and Commercial Restoration services, giving you a single point of contact instead of juggling multiple vendors.

Emergency Response And Temporary Protection

When storms hit, every moment counts. We respond immediately—often within hours—to stabilize your property and prevent further damage. This means emergency tarping to stop water intrusion, temporary fencing for safety, debris removal, and water extraction before mold takes hold. Then we return to make it right for the long term, developing a comprehensive repair plan and seeing it through to completion. Our emergency response isn’t just about quick fixes—it’s about protecting what’s salvageable while we prepare for permanent restoration.

Roof Systems That Stand Up To Hurricanes And Hail

The right roof doesn’t just cover your building. Essentially, it shields your future. We help you choose and install systems built for Gulf Coast realities.

Asphalt Shingle Upgrades For High‑Wind Zones

In high-wind areas, your roof needs to be as resilient as you are. We install proven systems designed to stay put when storms arrive, with careful attention to every detail that matters. When ventilation improvements make sense, we coordinate with our HVAC team for complete protection.

Metal Roofing And Correct Fastener Schedules

Metal roofing offers exceptional durability for coastal properties, when installed right. We follow the highest standards to ensure your investment performs exactly as it should, especially at the critical points where most systems fail.

Flat Roof Options For Commercial Properties

Your commercial roof works as hard as you do. We recommend systems matched to your building’s needs: reflective, durable, and designed to last. Proper drainage and integration ensure your roof supports your business goals. See how we coordinate building‑wide restorations.

Wind Uplift Ratings, Underlayment, And Edge‑Metal Details

Great roofing lives in the details. We design every system to meet local conditions, using materials and methods that deliver real protection, not just promises. When you compare proposals, we’ll show you exactly what sets our approach apart.

Insurance Claims After Storm Damage

We’ve guided thousands of property owners through the claims process. Our role is simple: document the damage, protect your property, and rebuild your roof the right way while keeping the process transparent.

Documenting Damage And Mitigation Steps

We capture comprehensive evidence and take immediate steps to prevent further damage. Your insurer needs to see swift action—we make sure every step is documented and defensible. For water intrusion concerns, our Water Damage team can help.

Exploring Your Claim And Supplements

Insurance claims can feel overwhelming. We walk you through the process, explain your coverage, and handle the details so you can focus on what matters. When unexpected damage surfaces, we document it thoroughly and keep you informed every step of the way.

Costs, Timelines, And Warranties: What To Expect

We believe in transparency. You’ll receive clear guidance, honest pricing, and realistic timelines—no surprises, just straightforward partnership.

Factors That Shape Your Investment

Every roof is unique. System choice, building complexity, code requirements, and market conditions all play a role. We’ll present options that balance your budget, timeline, and long-term goals.

Project Duration From Start To Finish

From inspection to completion, we keep projects moving efficiently while maintaining quality. Most residential roofs take days, not weeks. Commercial projects vary with scope. Need coordination across multiple trades? Our General Contracting team manages everything seamlessly.

Warranty Types And Real Protection

The right warranties protect your investment for years. We’ll explain manufacturer coverage, system enhancements, and our workmanship guarantee—in plain language—so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long.

Maintenance And Storm Readiness Checklist

A resilient roof starts with consistent care. Use this checklist to stay prepared through every season and respond effectively when severe weather strikes.

Seasonal Inspections And Leak Prevention

  • Schedule regular inspections in spring and fall — These twice-yearly assessments catch minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs. Spring checks address winter damage, while fall inspections prepare your roof for upcoming harsh weather.
  • Keep drainage systems clear and functional — Clogged gutters and downspouts force water to pool on your roof, accelerating deterioration and increasing leak risk. Clean them quarterly or after major storms.
  • Remove debris and trim back overhanging branches — Accumulated leaves trap moisture against shingles, promoting rot and algae growth. Tree limbs rubbing against your roof can wear down protective granules and become dangerous projectiles during high winds.
  • Check seals around penetrations and flashings — Chimneys, vents, skylights, and pipe penetrations are common weak points where water infiltrates. Look for cracked caulk, lifted flashing, or gaps that need resealing.
  • Monitor attic conditions for early warning signs — Check for water stains, mold growth, damp insulation, or daylight visible through the roof deck. These indicators reveal problems before they’re visible from the exterior.

Post‑Storm Actions In The First 24 Hours

  • Document any visible damage with photos — Capture wide shots of your entire roof and close-ups of specific damage. Photograph from ground level and document interior issues. This visual evidence is essential for insurance claims.
  • Check interior spaces for water intrusion signs — Inspect ceilings, walls, and attic spaces for wet spots, discoloration, or dripping. Water can travel along rafters before appearing inside, so check rooms away from the apparent damage location.
  • If water enters, call our Water Damage team immediately — Even minor leaks can cause mold growth within 24-48 hours. Fast response prevents secondary damage that often exceeds the cost of the original roof repair.
  • Secure minor leaks and protect valuables — Place buckets under active leaks, move furniture and belongings to dry areas, and use tarps to cover vulnerable items. If safe to do so, place a temporary tarp over exterior damage.
  • Contact us for emergency protection — Don’t wait for business hours. Emergency tarping and temporary repairs prevent further water intrusion while permanent repairs are scheduled.

Pro tip: note storm timing, wind direction, conditions (hail size, wind speed estimates), and which areas of your property were most affected—these specific details strengthen your insurance claim and help adjusters understand the scope of damage.
