Call (432) 302-5605

Lake Highlands homes were mostly built between the 1950s and 1980s. The streets off Abrams Road, around White Rock Trail, and up through the Lake Highlands North neighborhoods are full of ranches and traditionals whose original roofs are now 30 to 50 years old. That means granule loss, brittle shingles, and flashing that has simply given up. Our crews work in Lake Highlands weekly, and we know which slopes fail first, which valleys hold water, and which ridge vents are not doing their job. When you call, a real person answers – 24/7 – and schedules your free estimate.

Why Mercer Roofing Co Dallas Is Lake Highlands’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

We approach every Lake Highlands job the same way: write down what’s wrong, write down what it costs, and let you decide before we drive a single nail. No pressure, no vague estimates that grow after the fact. Homeowners around Ferndale and Merriman Park keep calling us because the price we put in writing is the price on the invoice.

Every Mercer technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged. Before your appointment, we send the technician’s name and photo so you know exactly who is walking up to your door. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it matters in a neighborhood where people work from home, raise small kids, and do not want a stranger-at-the-door surprise. Grant Whitlock leads our Dallas operation, and he holds every crew to that standard on every single visit.

Our repair work is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That promise is in writing on every job – not a handshake, not a verbal assurance.

Flat Roof Repair in Lake Highlands

Flat roof repair in Lake Highlands typically costs $450 to $1,200 for most spot fixes, and the job usually involves patching worn membrane, resealing seams around penetrations, and clearing the drains along the edge. Several ranch-style homes and porch additions in older parts of Lake Highlands have flat or low-slope sections, and Texas sun is brutal on them. The membrane bakes, splits at the seams, and water finds its way in slowly – you may not notice until a stain appears on the ceiling below.

What a flat roof repair actually involves

We map the leak first, not the other way around. Water travels, so the stain inside is rarely directly under the hole. Once we find the seam or puncture, we clean the area, apply the right patch material for the existing membrane type, and seal all nearby penetrations – vent pipes, HVAC curbs, anything that breaks the membrane. On most Lake Highlands flat roofs, we also clear built-up debris from drains because standing water is what turns a small seam split into a sagging, leaking mess.

When a patch is not enough

If the membrane has separated at multiple seams or the decking underneath is spongy, a patch buys months, not years. We will tell you that plainly. Some flat sections on older Lake Highlands homes should be recoated entirely rather than patched repeatedly, and we will show you the condition before recommending the bigger job. The written price you get covers the repair as scoped, and if we find decking rot underneath, you approve the change in writing before we do anything.

Shingle Roof Repair in Lake Highlands

Shingle roof repair in Lake Highlands runs $350 to $1,400 for most jobs, and the typical call is either a visible leak or shingles that have curled, cracked, or blown off after a storm. On the many 1960s to 80s ranches here, shingle failure is usually not from wind alone – it is from years of UV turning the asphalt brittle. Once a shingle snaps, the next storm peels it back, and water has a direct path to the decking.

Matching shingles on older slopes

We repair using manufacturer-recognized shingle brands like CertainTeed, Atlas, and IKO, and we work to match the existing color and profile as closely as the materials allow. On a 1980s traditional with a discontinued color, a true exact match is not always possible – but we will show you samples from the roof, not a catalog, and you approve the look before we install. If the damaged slope is the south or west side, we also look at the condition of the shingles on the opposite slope so your repair does not become next year’s leak.

Decking and underlayment checks

Underneath every shingle is the decking – the wood layer the shingles are nailed to – and on older Lake Highlands homes it is often original. If shingles have been leaking slowly for years, that wood can be soft or rotten. We inspect it on every repair. If replacement is needed, we show you a photo and get your written approval on the added cost before proceeding. Skipping that step is how a “simple shingle patch” turns into a ceiling collapse two years later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Highlands

We install and repair shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For most Lake Highlands homes, CertainTeed Landmark and Atlas architectural shingles are the workhorses – they handle our UV load better than entry-level three-tabs and give you a real step up in hail resistance. We keep common trim colors and flashing profiles in local stock, so a repair on a home off Abrams Road does not wait a week for parts. If you have a specific brand or warranty requirement, tell us when you call and we will quote it accurately the first time.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Lake Highlands Homes

• Sun-baked south and west slopes. On a 1972 ranch in the Lake Highlands North neighborhood, our crew found the south-facing slope shedding granules at twice the rate of the north side. We replaced the failed architectural shingles with CertainTeed Landmark, added new ice and water shield in the valleys, and replaced the brittle drip edge before reinstalling the ridge vent to stop the attic heat that had been baking the decking from below.
• Hail damage the adjuster missed. After any major hailstorm, out-of-town adjusters walk the roof quickly and look at what is obvious. Hail on north-facing slopes and around vent flashing is easy to miss, and a denied claim leaves you with a patch job that fails later. We inspect the full roof and document what we find.
• Rotted decking under old shingles. Homes built in the 1960s and 70s often still have their original decking. Decades of small leaks soften it. If we find rot during a repair, we replace that section before laying new shingles – otherwise the repair fails from underneath.
• Failed vent boots and flashing. The rubber boot around plumbing vents cracks in the Texas sun in about 10 years. Valley flashing on older ranches also corrodes where leaves collect. We replace boots and flashing as part of the repair, not as an afterthought, because that’s where the next leak always comes from.
