What does a typical roof replacement cost in the RGV?

Most full residential replacements in the Rio Grande Valley range from $8,000 to $18,000, depending on roof size, slope, material (asphalt shingle vs. metal), and decking condition.

The /techos/ section of our site and our Spanish blog posts are written in native Spanish, not translated. Roofing decisions are too important to lose detail in a language gap. Call (956) 600-0501 and ask for Ronnie en español.

We work with property managers, HOAs, retail centers, and small industrial clients. Same free inspection policy: we'll diagnose what's wrong and quote it honestly before any contract.

Can I finance my roof?

Yes — financing is available on roof replacements through partner lenders so you don't have to cover the full cost upfront. Most homeowners qualify, the application is quick during your inspection visit, and we don't pull credit unless you ask. Visit baccaro-roofing.com/financing for current options, or just mention it during your free inspection and Ronnie will walk through what fits. No pressure if cash works better for you — we won't push financing on anyone.

Baccaro Roofing GuidePharr Roof Repair After the June 2026 Flood

June 16, 20266 min read

A real flood is hitting Pharr right now

As of Tuesday, June 16, 2026, the Rio Grande Valley is in the middle of a serious flooding event. The National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch covering the entire RGV from Monday afternoon through Wednesday and into Thursday morning. On Monday the Weather Prediction Center put the Valley under a Moderate risk for flash flooding, Level 3 of 4, with forecasters warning that numerous flash floods were likely.

Monday's Flash Flood Warnings named Pharr by name, right alongside McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, and Alamo. According to KRGV and the National Weather Service, rainfall has run 3 to 6 inches across most of the Valley, with isolated totals of 8 inches or more, and some forecasts called for 5 to 10 inches with isolated amounts near 12. Rain rates topped 2 inches per hour. Weslaco and Progreso signed disaster declarations, roughly 3,733 customers lost power Valley-wide Monday evening, and sandbag distribution is underway across the area.

If you own a home or building in Pharr, this is the moment your roof gets tested. We put together this guide so you know what flooding does to a roof and what to do in the first day or two. When you are ready, you can request a free [Pharr roof repair](/areas/pharr/roof-repair) inspection at any time.

What heavy rain and flooding do to a roof

Flooding is a water problem, and your roof is your first line of defense. When the rain comes down this hard and this long, a few things start to go wrong:

Ponding water. Low-slope and flat sections hold standing water instead of draining it. The longer water sits, the more it works into seams and fasteners.
Backed-up valleys and drains. The valleys where two roof planes meet, plus gutters and scuppers, get overwhelmed. Debris from wind makes it worse, and water backs up under the shingles.
Saturated decking. Once water gets past the shingles and underlayment, the wood decking soaks it up. Soft, spongy decking loses its strength and has to be replaced, not just patched.
Wind-blown and lifted shingles. Storm wind lifts shingle tabs and tears some off entirely, opening a direct path for water.
Ceiling stains and active leaks. Brown rings on the ceiling or walls usually mean water already found its way in.
Attic moisture and mold. Trapped humidity in a hot Valley attic after a soaking sets up mold and rot fast if it is not dried out.

Neighborhoods across Pharr feel this differently. The Las Milpas area to the south sits lower and has long been prone to flooding, so homes there see water pile up faster. The I-2 and I-69C interchange and the truck corridor running to the Pharr International Bridge take heavy traffic and heavy weather. And the older central neighborhoods often have roofs that have already seen a few hard Valley summers. Wherever you are, a [roof inspection in Pharr](/areas/pharr/roof-repair) tells you what the storm actually did.

Your first 24 to 48 hours

The steps right after a storm matter. Here is a simple order to follow:

Stay safe first. Do not climb onto a wet roof, and stay away from any downed power lines. Let the weather pass.
Look for the obvious signs from the ground. Walk the yard for shingle pieces, granules washed into gutters, dented vents, or sagging spots.
Check inside. Look at ceilings, around skylights and chimneys, and in closets and the attic for stains, drips, or a damp smell.
Catch active leaks. Put down buckets and towels, and move furniture or electronics out of the way.
Take photos and notes. Date your pictures. Good documentation helps later whether or not you file a claim.
Call for help if water is still coming in. A temporary tarp can stop the bleeding until a full repair. See our guide on an [emergency roof tarp](/blog/emergency-roof-tarp-mcallen), or reach out for [emergency roof repair in Pharr](/areas/pharr/emergency-roof-repair) and we will respond.

Insurance claim or simple maintenance?

Not every storm leak is a claim, and not every claim is worth filing. Sometimes the right fix is straightforward maintenance: cleared valleys, resealed flashing, and a handful of replaced shingles. Other times the damage is real enough that your homeowner's policy should be involved.

Here is how Baccaro helps without overstepping. We provide a free, no-obligation assessment and full photo documentation of the damage. If you decide to file, we meet your adjuster on-site so everyone is looking at the same roof and the same evidence. What we do not do is get between you and your insurance carrier. The relationship and the decision stay yours. If a claim is the right path, our [Pharr insurance claim](/areas/pharr/insurance-claim) support walks you through the roof side of it.

Free inspection and emergency response from a local crew

Baccaro Roofing is owner-operated by Ronnie Baccaro, with more than 5 years and over 500 completed projects across the Rio Grande Valley. We hold a 5.0-star rating across 20 Google reviews, and we install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed product lines.

Every inspection is free and carries no obligation. After a storm like this one, that matters, because you should not have to pay just to find out whether your roof is okay.

It also matters that we are local. After a big disaster, out-of-town storm chasers flood the Valley, knock on doors, push fast contracts, and are gone before the next rain. We are based right here at 4305 N 10th St in McAllen, and we are not going anywhere. If something needs follow-up next month or next year, you can find us. That is the difference between a crew that lives here and a truck passing through. When the storm passes, you can book a free [Pharr roofing](/areas/pharr) inspection or call us directly at (956) 600-0501.

Frequently asked questions

How soon should I get my roof inspected after the flood?

As soon as it is safe and the weather has cleared. Catching a small leak early keeps it from turning into soaked decking and attic mold. We offer free inspections, so there is no cost to find out where you stand.

My ceiling has a brown stain but no dripping. Is that urgent?

A stain means water got in at some point, even if it is not actively dripping right now. It is worth a look, because the source can reopen with the next round of rain. Free inspection, no obligation.

Should I file an insurance claim?

It depends on how much damage there is. We give you a free assessment with photos so you can make an informed decision. We meet your adjuster on-site, but the choice and the carrier relationship stay entirely yours.

Why pick a local roofer over a storm-chasing company?

Local means accountable. We live and work in the Valley year-round, so we are here for warranty work and follow-up long after the out-of-town crews have moved on.
