Water leaks or temperature inconsistencies in your home could mean your roofing system isn’t working properly. If you’re seeing signs of wear and tear on roofing shingles, noticing drips or peeling paint in your rooms or seeing water spots on the ceiling, it may be time to think about a roof replacement.
There are many factors to consider in choosing a roof, including style, color, durability, warranties and installation. Most roofs are asphalt shingles. In certain regions, tile and low-slop or flat roofs are also available. For asphalt roofs, traditional, three-tab flat asphalt shingles offer more value and performance than industry-standard shingles. They're color blended for a natural look. Architectural shingles create a multidimensional effect. They feature laminated construction for longer life.

You have the privilege of choosing among the East Texas roofing companies in whom you have the most confidence & trust. Even if you get recommendations from various sources, it is still your responsibility to research the companies. Your insurance company may ask you to go with the lowest bid, but you do not have to do that. If one bid comes in substantially cheaper than the others, they may be cutting corners somewhere. When it comes to your home, it is never a good idea to go with less than quality materials or workmanship. It is important to remember; you get what you pay for. Be sure the company you choose is local and reputable. They should have at least 10 years’ experience locally and should be verifiable through the Better Business Bureau. Also, make sure they have a solid line of communication. In case of emergency or if you have problems, you want to be able to contact them immediately.
A job usually takes 1-2 days to complete. However, as with all types of construction, the time it takes to complete a job varies with the size and difficulty associated with each individual residence. Something imperative to remember is that weather plays a large role in our schedule and how long a task will take. If there is inclement weather before we begin work on your home, please understand that this may delay our start date as we have had to pause our current jobs and push everyone else back as well. Also, if there is rain or snow while we are in the midst of work on your home, have confidence that we will have your roof covered and protected from incurring any damage due to the weather.
Clint Tuel Roofing, LLC was established in Longview, Texas by Clint Tuel in 1979.
Our estimate will include everything needed to repair, replace, or construct your roof and prevent any future damage. Most commonly they will include the following:
• An accurate count of shingle squares needed calculated using satellite imaging technology
• Underlayment- synthetic or ice and water shield
• Turbines, power vents, or ridge vent for attic ventilation
• Roof jacks
• Decking, soffit, fascia, or gutters that needs replacing
• Any other material needed for your home’s specific needs
If you have problems not related to your roof that are noted during the original inspection of the roof, we will make sure they are attended to simultaneously. For example, if you need new gutters we can handle it for you. Our goal is to provide you with one true assessment of the cost required to repair your roof or re-roof your home according to our highest standards. We only use superior materials that we can stand behind, whereas, some competitors may use lesser materials to cut costs. Inferior materials can lead to leaks and damages to your home and belongings. When comparing prices be sure you are comparing ‘apples to apples’. Notice the shingle brand and any extras on the estimate to make sure you are getting the best deal for your money.
Absolutely! Preparation for cleanup after a job starts before roofing ever begins. We cover shrubs and survey the site to avoid damage to sprinkler systems, gutters, patio furniture, etc. After the job is complete, a thorough inspection of the site ensures that no shingles, nails, or trash remain. Our goal is to leave your property in better condition than it was at the beginning of the job.

If you are interested in one of these programs, please let us know up-front so we can provide you with an accurate estimate that includes those materials specific to the warranty you are interested in.
We offer a variety of roof types including metal, imitation slate, and composition. The most popular of these is composition which comes in several looks from 3-tab to architectural. Many insurance companies offer discounts for impact resistant roof covering materials such as a metal roof. If you purchase a metal roof from us and need help with the paperwork, just give our office a call. To guide you in your decision making process, we have resources on this site and samples in our office.

Depreciation is an insurance term that is used in two different ways depending upon the type of policy that you have. If you have a RCV (replacement cost value) policy, the depreciation is merely held back until you can prove that you have incurred the cost of completing the repairs. Once the work is completed, you will receive the remaining money.
If you have an ACV (actual cash value) policy, the depreciation means that besides the deductible, you will pay a prorated portion of the repairs above and beyond your deductible amount. For example, if you have a 30-year roof that is 10 years old, your insurance company will deduct 1/3 of the value of the roof plus your deductible from the actual estimate.
Insurance companies have different levels of RCV policies. They typically have Good, Better and Best. They are trying to give maximum benefits with your budget in mind. A good RCV policy will generally cover the roof at Full Replacement Cost, but may prorate your fence that is 10 years old with a life expectancy of 20 years. They will then subtract half of the value of the fence and call it “Non Recoverable Depreciation”.
Yes, you can, but it is very dangerous! Your insurance company will allow you to keep the ACV portion of your settlement and not make the repairs but your mortgage company may not. Typically, if you do not make the repairs… YOU WILL NOT BE INSURED!
So… whatever you choose NOT TO FIX, will NOT be insured. If you choose to not fix the roof and you begin to have leaks, or another storm hits, your insurance company will not pay for the roof again. ALSO, they will not pay for any damage to the property caused by leaks that should have been fixed. All the while, you will still be paying full premiums!
Often times, especially when a storm has recently hit, this is a way of stalling so that the insurance companies have time to get an adjuster out to your home. This is also a way to try and save them money. All reputable companies pay close to the same thing for labor and materials. If one of them comes in substantially cheaper than the others, they are most likely cutting corners somewhere. This is a time for you to BEWARE! We are talking about the covering of your home. This is not a place to cut corners with less than quality materials or workmanship!
Most insurance companies include your mortgage company on the first check. Every mortgage company has different procedures for releasing funds. You can check with your mortgage company before the job starts to find out what information they require to obtain an endorsement. We encourage you to obtain the endorsement locally if possible. If the check gets lost in the mail, it can be a real nightmare having the funds re-issued. If local endorsement is not possible, we suggest sending it overnight so it can be traced.
Payment is due in full when the job is complete. If you are dealing with an insurance claim, your deductible is due upon delivery of material. Most insurance companies will provide an initial check once they receive a contract for work, and release the balance as soon as the roof is completed and they have received an invoice.
There are legal, moral and ethical ways to handle this situation and we take them on a case by case basis. We will gladly sit down and address your options based upon your individual circumstances.
