Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does spray foam insulation help in West Texas heat?

    Spray foam insulation creates an air-tight seal that reduces air leaks and regulates indoor temperatures during extreme heat. It's especially effective in metal buildings and wall cavities where traditional insulation underperforms. At A&A Roofing & Const, we install spray foam to improve energy efficiency and moisture control across the Permian Basin.
  • When should I replace my roof instead of repairing it?

    Replace your roof when it's reached the end of its lifespan, has widespread damage, or when repair costs approach half the replacement cost. Signs include multiple leaks, missing shingles, and compromised structural integrity. A&A Roofing & Const provides free inspections to help Midland homeowners evaluate repair versus replacement options.
  • What roofing materials work best in West Texas wind and heat?

    Metal standing seam, TPO, and impact-resistant shingles perform well in West Texas conditions due to their wind resistance and heat reflection. These materials handle intense sun exposure and storm activity common to the Permian Basin. At A&A Roofing & Const, we select materials based on your building type and exposure level.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make after hail damage?

    Waiting too long to schedule an inspection allows hidden damage to worsen and can complicate insurance claims. Hail can compromise roof integrity even when damage isn't immediately visible. A&A Roofing & Const responds quickly after West Texas storms to assess both visible and hidden issues before further problems develop.
  • How does low-slope roofing differ from residential roofing?

    Low-slope roofing uses different materials like TPO or modified bitumen and requires specialized drainage and seam details to prevent water pooling. These systems are common on commercial buildings and warehouses. A&A Roofing & Const has experience with large-surface commercial roofs and works to minimize disruption during installation or repair.
  • Can spray foam insulation be added to an existing building?

    Yes, spray foam can be retrofitted into existing residential, commercial, and metal buildings to improve energy efficiency. It's ideal for upgrading insulation in wall cavities, roof systems, and hard-to-seal areas. A&A Roofing & Const evaluates each structure and recommends the best application method during insulation assessments.
  • What affects the cost of a commercial roof replacement?

    Cost depends on roof size, material type, slope, existing damage, and access limitations. Low-slope systems and large surface areas require different materials and labor than steep residential roofs. A&A Roofing & Const provides site evaluations to give accurate estimates based on your building's specific needs in Midland and surrounding areas.
  • How do you prevent wind damage on agricultural metal roofs?

    Proper fastening, reinforced seams, and high-quality metal panels reduce wind uplift on barns and shops. Agricultural roofs in open terrain face higher wind exposure than structures in developed areas. At A&A Roofing & Const, we use durable materials and construction methods designed for rural West Texas conditions and long-term performance.
  • What's included in a roofing inspection after a storm?

    A thorough inspection checks for visible damage like missing shingles or dents, plus hidden issues such as compromised flashing, underlayment tears, and structural concerns. Inspectors also assess gutters and ventilation. A&A Roofing & Const offers free inspections and helps Midland property owners document damage for insurance claims.
  • Why do metal buildings need spray foam insulation?

    Metal buildings transfer heat rapidly and are prone to condensation without proper insulation. Spray foam creates a thermal barrier, controls moisture, and improves climate control in shops, barns, and warehouses. A&A Roofing & Const installs spray foam in new and existing metal structures throughout the Permian Basin for better energy performance.
  • How long does a commercial roof last in West Texas?

    Commercial roofs typically last 15 to 30 years depending on material type, maintenance, and exposure to heat, wind, and storms. TPO and metal systems generally outlast traditional built-up roofs. At A&A Roofing & Const, we recommend preventive maintenance to extend roof lifespan and catch issues early.
  • What should I do to prepare for a roof replacement?

    Clear the driveway and surrounding area for equipment access, protect landscaping, and move vehicles away from the work zone. Inside, secure wall hangings and cover attic items to protect from dust. A&A Roofing & Const provides clear timelines and communicates expectations upfront so homeowners know what to expect during the project.
