Roofing services in Cumby
Tear-off, deck inspection, dry-in and the new system, done in one pass with the yard and driveway cleared and magnet-swept at the end of each day.
Targeted work on the detail that is actually failing, rather than a replacement nobody needed. On a sound roof that is very often the honest answer.
Free inspection after any storm, with photographs and a factual write-up you keep either way.
Panel and standing seam systems for homes, shops, barns and light commercial buildings, with gauge and coating named in the estimate rather than implied.
Continuous aluminum with hidden hangers, plus the extensions that get water away from the slab.
A proper look rather than a glance from the driveway, written up with an image attached to every finding so nothing rests on taking our word.
What roofs around Cumby are up against
Every roofing contractor in Cumby deals with the same three things, and they are worth telling apart because each needs a different fix. Cumby sits right on the interstate with open country on both sides of it, and that exposure is the thing that shapes roofs here. There is very little between a west wind and a roofline on this stretch, which is why so much of what we fix in town is edge damage rather than anything in the middle of a slope.
Spring hail
Cells track along the I-30 corridor most springs. Hail bruises the shingle mat without opening a hole, so the roof keeps shedding water while quietly losing years.
Wind off open ground
With pasture on either side of town there is nothing to slow a gust before it reaches a rake or a ridge. Seal strips let go first, and the shingle still looks fine from the road.
Summer heat in the attic
Four months of it, and a Cumby attic with blocked soffit intake cooks the roof from underneath. Ventilation is the simplest thing up there to put right.
“Within just one hour of my request, they had a drone in the air and a full estimate with photos in my inbox. The pricing was very reasonable, the work was finished exactly on time and to a high standard.”
That is what being fifteen minutes away buys you. Somebody gets on the roof, photographs what is actually there, and puts it in writing before you decide anything.
Verified on GoogleA roofer you can actually get hold of
Cumby is small enough that a contractor who does poor work here does not get a second job, and everybody finds out inside a week. That is a useful kind of pressure and we would rather work under it than without it.
We are based fifteen minutes away on Como St S in Sulphur Springs. The crew that turns up is our crew, and when you ring about a warranty question in year four you get the same company that put the roof on. That continuity is most of what a workmanship warranty is actually worth.
If what your roof needs is a repair rather than a replacement, we will say so. On a town this size that happens often, because a lot of the housing stock is sound and what has failed is a detail: a vent boot, a run of ridge, flashing at a chimney.
Being a roofing contractor in Cumby that is genuinely nearby also decides how fast things happen. An inspection here is usually days rather than weeks, and a call with water coming in gets answered the same morning rather than being slotted into next week.
The other advantage is that we know what is on the roofs here. A lot of Cumby went up in the same few stretches, which means the same details fail at the same age. On a street we have already worked, a leak call often starts with a reasonable idea of where it is before anybody puts a ladder up.

GoogleChoosing a roof for a Cumby property
There is no single right roof for this part of Texas. What suits a house in town is not what suits a shop on acreage outside it, and with as much open ground as Cumby has, wind performance carries more weight here than it would in a sheltered subdivision. Any roofing contractor in Cumby will fit all four of these, so the useful question is which one your building wants.
Architectural asphalt shingle
Handles the heat, comes in impact-rated classes that some carriers credit, and is straightforward to repair years later. We install Owens Corning, GAF and CertainTeed systems so underlayment, starter, ridge and ventilation all come from one manufacturer under one warranty.
Standing seam metal
Concealed fasteners, nothing to back out, and a service life that often outlasts the owner. On exposed ground it is the system that handles wind best, because there are no fastener heads for uplift to catch. Hail damage on it is usually cosmetic rather than a leak path.
PBR, PBU and corrugated panel
Exposed-fastener panel covers more square footage around Cumby than anything else. The steel routinely lasts forty years; the rubber washers under the screws do not, and that difference is most of what we deal with.
TPO and modified bitumen
Low-slope work is a different trade from shingle. The covering is the easy part; the parapets, terminations and drainage are where these roofs are actually won or lost.
Eight things worth a free look
You do not need to be a roofer to spot most of these, and six of the eight can be checked from the ground in ten minutes. If two or three sound familiar, book the inspection. Free means free, including the times a roofing contractor in Cumby tells you nothing needs doing this year.
Granule loss showing in the gutters
A steady layer of grit after every storm means the covering is shedding its protective layer faster than it should be, and what is underneath ages quickly once it is exposed.
Tabs that move under a hand
Wind damage rarely removes a shingle outright. It breaks the seal strip, and the shingle then sits there looking completely normal while no longer being part of a waterproof surface.
Dimpling on vents and gutter faces
Metal shows impact first and keeps the record. It is the most useful evidence there is that hail of a genuinely damaging size fell on this particular property.
Staining on a ceiling, however faint
Water travels along the framing before it drops, so the mark is frequently several feet from where it actually got in and sometimes in a completely different room.
Pinholes of daylight in the attic
Easiest to check in the middle of the day with the lights off, and one of the very few things a homeowner can confirm on their own without going anywhere near the roof.
Heat trapped above the ceiling
Poor ventilation cooks the covering from below through the whole summer. It is inexpensive to correct and it adds genuine years to the life of a roof.
Rust staining running below a fastener
On a panel roof that streak is the tell. Water has been getting past the washer for long enough to mark the steel below it.
A ridge line that is no longer straight
Sighting along the ridge from the ground is a free check. A dip means the deck underneath has been wet for a long time.
Getting storm damage on the record early
Hail bruising fractures the mat underneath the granules and the roof carries on shedding water exactly as before. Wait two seasons and proving the storm caused it becomes very difficult, which is why photographs taken while it is fresh matter more than almost anything else.
What we do is narrow and we would rather be clear about it than promise something that is not ours to give. We inspect at no cost, document what can be observed from the roof, and prepare factual scope information. Your carrier decides coverage and payment. We never predict an approval.
We also do not waive, absorb or discount a deductible, because Texas law does not allow a contractor to. The National Weather Service office in Fort Worth keeps the storm reports for this part of Texas, which is worth knowing because a claim is easier to discuss when the date of the event is established rather than recalled.
The evidence has a shelf life
Fresh damage photographs well and is unambiguous. Two seasons on, establishing what a storm did becomes genuinely difficult.
A claim is not always the right move
Where the work is smaller than the deductible, or the damage is wear rather than storm, we would rather tell you than file anyway.
Severe weather confirmed near Cumby since 2022
The National Weather Service has logged 30 severe weather reports in Hopkins County since 2022. These six are the ones nearest Cumby. They are worth knowing because an insurance claim runs from the date the damage happened, not the date a ceiling stains, and that date is often months earlier than people think.
How much does a new roof cost in Cumby?
For a full asphalt shingle replacement on an average single-story home, a roofing contractor in Cumby typically charges about $6,000 to $14,000, including tear-off and disposal. Metal runs about $12,000 to $30,000 or more, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles usually fall between $10,000 and $17,000. These are typical Northeast Texas ranges, not a quote: the price for your roof is set after a free on-site inspection and a written estimate. Prices by home size and material are set out in our roof replacement cost guide.
No roofing contractor in Cumby can price a roof properly from a phone call. These six things are what actually change the number, and knowing them makes an estimate readable rather than mysterious.
Measured area and slope
Area sets the number and pitch adjusts it upward. A steep roof needs considerably more setup and simply cannot be worked as quickly or as safely as a walkable one.
Coverings to strip
The number of existing layers changes both the labor and the disposal weight, and it is rarely obvious from ground level how many are actually up there.
What the boards are like
Decking is quoted per sheet before work starts, because it genuinely cannot be assessed until the old covering comes off and the boards are visible.
Cut-up versus simple
A plain roof of a given size costs less than a broken-up one covering the same area. Every valley, dormer and chimney is hand-worked detail rather than field work.
Specification chosen
From builder-grade shingle up to standing seam metal is a wide range in price and an even wider one in years of service, and both ends are legitimate.
Access to the property
Long drives, tight turns and soft ground all add hours to the day, and hours are most of what any roof actually costs once materials are accounted for.
A price without a look is a guess. The inspection costs nothing, the photographs are yours, and the estimate sets out the work so it can be checked.
Louder than you expect, shorter than you fear
Most single-family replacements around Cumby are a one-day job. The crew arrives early, protects the ground and the landscaping, and works through in order. It is genuinely noisy while it is happening and it is over faster than most people brace for.
Worth doing beforehand: move vehicles off the driveway, take fragile pictures off the walls, and plan any calls for somewhere other than directly under the roof deck. Pets are usually happier somewhere else for the day.
At the end of every working day the yard and the drive get a magnet run over them and the debris leaves with us rather than sitting in a pile. On a one-day job that is a single sweep.
The one thing that can extend a job is what turns up once the old covering is off. Decking is the only part nobody can assess in advance, so the estimate carries a per-sheet rate and we show you photographs of anything we replace. You will know the number before we carry on, not afterwards.
Protect and tear off
Tarps down, landscaping covered, and the old roof stripped back to the deck.
Decking and dry-in
Any rotten decking replaced, then underlayment so the building is watertight before anything else.
The new system
Starter, field, flashing, ridge and ventilation, all to manufacturer specification.
Sweep and walkthrough
Magnets over the yard and drive, debris hauled away, then we walk the finished roof with you.
Shops, churches and barns around Cumby
Alongside the houses, this end of Hopkins County is full of working buildings: equipment barns, hay storage, shops behind houses and small metal units along the highway. Most of them are on exposed-fastener panel that went up decades ago and has had nothing done to it since.
On those buildings the most common job is not a new roof at all. It is comprehensive fastener replacement, because the panel and its coating routinely outlive the rubber washers under thousands of screws. Where the panels are sound that work buys another decade for a fraction of the cost of re-roofing.
Commercial and agricultural work also runs differently from a house. The inspection looks at drainage and ponding as much as the covering, the schedule has to let the building keep working, and the maintenance plan matters as much as the installation. We are comfortable being the company that comes out twice a year to check the drains rather than the one that only appears when there is water inside.
Churches come up more often than people expect. They tend to have steep planes, long unbroken runs and a low-slope section over an addition somewhere, and the budget conversation usually involves a committee rather than one owner. We are used to quoting those in stages so the urgent section can be done now and the rest next year.
Questions we get asked around here
Yes, and often. We have been the roofing contractor in Cumby for plenty of houses on these roads. Cumby is about fifteen minutes from our shop on Como St S in Sulphur Springs, straight up I-30, so it is part of the normal week rather than a special trip. Most inspections get scheduled within a few days and storm calls with an active leak jump the queue.
With good installation and basic upkeep, 3-tab asphalt shingles usually last 15 to 20 years in Texas, architectural shingles 22 to 30, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles 25 to 30, and standing seam metal 40 to 70. In Northeast Texas, hail and summer heat shorten those numbers more than age does, so a roof that has taken a hard hailstorm can need attention well before its age suggests.
Most homes in and around Cumby are a one-day job, start to walkthrough. A larger or more complex roof, or one that turns out to need significant decking work, can run into a second day. We tell you which we expect before we start rather than after.
That is your carrier’s decision against your policy. What we do is inspect for free, photograph what is there, and write it up factually so the claim is decided on evidence rather than recollection.
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do out this way. On a metal building the usual answer is fastener and closure work rather than a new roof, which routinely buys another decade for a fraction of the price. The survey is free and tells you which situation the building is actually in.
