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 GuideProgreso Roof Repair After This Week's Flood

June 16, 20266 min read

Progreso signed a local disaster declaration this week, one of only two Rio Grande Valley cities to do so alongside neighboring Weslaco. That is about as concrete as local proof gets. When a small city formally declares a disaster, the water on the ground is real and widespread. If you live in Progreso and your ceiling is staining or your attic smells damp, you are not imagining it, and you are not alone.

Progreso sits just south of Weslaco, a small border city tucked close to the Rio Grande near the international bridge. It is low-lying ground, with Progreso Lakes nearby and a lot of older, modest housing stock that was never built to shrug off a 2-inch-per-hour downpour. That combination, low elevation and aging roofs, is exactly why this storm hit Progreso roofs hard.

The National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch for the entire Valley from Monday afternoon through midweek, and the Weather Prediction Center placed most of the area under a Moderate risk of flash flooding on Monday, warning that numerous flash floods were likely. The National Weather Service and outlets like KRGV reported widespread totals of 3 to 6 inches, with isolated pockets of 8 inches or more, and some forecasts calling for 5 to 10 inch totals with isolated areas near 12 inches. Rain rates topped 2 inches per hour at times. There were roughly 3,733 power outages across the Valley on Monday evening, and sandbag distribution was underway Valley-wide.

What this week's flood does to Progreso roofs

A storm like this stresses a roof in several ways at once. Here is what we look for after rain events of this size:

Ponding on low-slope roofs. Many Progreso homes have flat or low-slope sections. When rain falls faster than it can drain, water pools and sits, finding its way through seams, flashing, and any spot where the surface has aged.
Backed-up valleys. The valleys where two roof planes meet carry the most water. Debris, granule loss, or a slightly lifted shingle can dam the flow and push water sideways under the shingles.
Saturated decking. Once water gets past the surface, it soaks the wood decking underneath. Saturated decking softens, sags, and can grow mold if it is not dried out.
Wind-blown shingles. Gusty storm winds lift or tear shingles, and even one missing tab gives the next downpour a direct path inside.
Ceiling stains and attic moisture. Brown rings on a ceiling, peeling paint, or a musty attic mean water is already inside. Trapped attic moisture raises the risk of mold within days, not weeks.

Because Progreso sits so low and so close to the Rio Grande and Progreso Lakes, water that ponds on or near a roof has nowhere fast to go, which keeps the older, worn decking common here wet longer than in higher neighborhoods. Learn more about the homes we serve on our [Progreso service area](/areas/progreso) page.

What to do in the first 24 to 48 hours

The first two days matter most. A few calm steps now can keep a small problem from becoming a ceiling collapse or a mold project later.

Stay safe first. Do not climb a wet roof, and keep away from any sagging ceiling or active electrical near water.
Contain the water inside. Put down buckets and towels under active drips, and gently relieve a bulging ceiling from below into a bucket so it does not spread.
Document everything. Photograph stains, drips, and any debris or shingles in the yard, with time stamps. This record helps later whether the fix is maintenance or a claim.
Get a professional eye on it fast. A trained inspector can spot the entry point you cannot see from the ground. If water is actively coming in, you want [emergency roof repair near Progreso](/areas/weslaco/emergency-roof-repair) before the next round of rain.
Schedule a real inspection. Even if the leak slows when the rain stops, the damage underneath does not. Book a [Weslaco roof repair](/areas/weslaco/roof-repair) visit, the closest crew to Progreso, so you know exactly what you are dealing with.

The goal in these two days is simple: stop the water, protect the inside of your home, and get clear, documented answers about the roof.

When it is an insurance claim versus maintenance

Not every leak is a claim, and not every claim is worth filing. Storm-related damage, like wind-lifted shingles, impact damage, or a sudden failure caused by this week's event, is often what homeowner policies are written for. Slow wear, clogged drains, or a roof at the end of its life is usually maintenance. The honest answer often sits in between, which is why documentation matters so much.

Baccaro keeps it straightforward. We do a free damage assessment, document everything with photos, and meet your adjuster on-site so the same conditions are visible to everyone. We do not get between you and your insurance carrier. You stay in control of your own claim, and we focus on accurately showing what the storm did. Because Progreso and Weslaco are neighbors that signed the same disaster declaration, our [roof repair near Progreso](/areas/weslaco/roof-repair) team is already working this exact corridor.

How Baccaro's free inspection and emergency response works

When you call Baccaro after the flood, we answer, we listen, and we get a real person out to your home. For active leaks, our emergency response focuses on stopping water now, which can include a proper tarp to buy you time until a full repair. For everything else, we schedule a thorough, no-obligation inspection.

During that inspection we check the shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, and the attic side when we can reach it, and we walk you through what we find with photos. You get a clear scope and an honest recommendation. Baccaro installs GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed product lines, so we match the right system to your home and your budget.

We are owner-operated by Ronnie Baccaro, with more than 5 years in business and over 500 completed projects across the RGV. Our average is a 5.0-star rating across 20 Google reviews. Free inspections are always free and always no-obligation. You can reach us at (956) 600-0501, and we are based at 4305 N 10th St, McAllen TX 78504, serving Progreso, Weslaco, and the surrounding Valley. We hold the same standards everywhere, including [McAllen roof repair](/areas/mcallen/roof-repair) just up the road.

Why a local owner-operated crew beats out-of-town storm chasers

After every major Valley storm, out-of-town crews roll in chasing quick work. They knock on doors near the bridge and around Progreso Lakes, push fast contracts, and are often gone by the time a problem shows up. A local, owner-operated crew is different. We live here, we answer the phone after the job, and the same owner who quotes your repair stands behind the work. That matters most after a flood, when shortcuts hide easily under a fresh layer of shingles. If you have a question next season, you are not chasing a phone number from another state. You are calling a neighbor.
