Edinburg Roof Pros provides professional cool roof installation in Edinburg, TX for residential and commercial properties across Hidalgo County and the mid-Valley. In the mid-Valley this is a real purchase rather than an upgrade. Edinburg runs a cooling season that most of the country does not have a word for, and roof reflectance is one of the few envelope choices that pays here.
Two properties are measured. Solar reflectance is the share of sunlight the surface sends back. Thermal emittance is how readily it releases what it did take in. You want both, because a surface that reflects well and emits poorly still holds heat against your deck.
Demand the aged number. A product listing from a third-party rating program gives an initial reflectance and a three-year aged reflectance, and Valley dust, caliche and summer rain take the surface toward the aged figure quickly. We hand you the listing rather than describing it, because it is the one claim on this page you can check without us.
A plain dark shingle starts from nearly nothing. California's energy code, which is the only residential code in the country that sets these values prescriptively, assigns unrated asphalt shingles a default aged solar reflectance of 0.08 against a thermal emittance of 0.75. That default exists because it is a fair description of a dark asphalt roof anywhere, Hidalgo County included.
Texas does not require this, but the code does recognize it. Texas adopted the 2021 residential energy code, and in the hot-humid zone this county sits in that code lets a three-year aged solar reflectance of 0.55 with a thermal emittance of 0.75 stand in for ceiling insulation. The prescriptive ceiling drops from R-49 to R-30.
That is a trade you may take rather than an obligation, and it is not one we would take. Most Valley houses are better off keeping the R-49 and buying the reflectance on top of it.
Slope decides the product. On a low-slope roof the bright single-ply and reflective cap sheets reach high aged values and the choice is easy. On a steep asphalt roof the palette is narrower and the gain is smaller, so the honest version is a cool-rated shingle plus a radiant barrier plus the ventilation you should have had anyway.
Here is the part that is not a sale. A cool roof is not insulation. If your attic is thin on R-value or the ducts up there are leaking into it, that is the cheaper fix and it works harder. We will say so before we price shingles, and we will quote both so the comparison is yours to make rather than ours to describe.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, solar reflectance index, SBS-modified asphalt shingles, Class 4 impact rating under UL 2218, Galvalume standing seam with floating clips, Kynar 500 PVDF coating — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Edinburg and nearby communities including McAllen, Mission, Pharr, Harlingen.

Materials, equipment and how we do cool roof installation
The difference between cool roof installation that lasts and cool roof installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, solar reflectance index, SBS-modified asphalt shingles, Class 4 impact rating under UL 2218, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Edinburg job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Hidalgo County and the mid-Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
