A local roofing company built for Gulf Coast weather

Roofs here take a beating most of the country never sees. Summer sun bakes shingles for months, spring storms bring hail, and hurricane season can tear a roof open overnight, as Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and Hurricane Beryl in 2024 showed. Humidity then does the rest, turning a small leak into wet insulation and mold within weeks.

That is why our work starts with a careful inspection and clear photos rather than a sales pitch. We find what is actually wrong, explain it in plain language and give you a written price. Sometimes that means a small repair. Sometimes it means a new roof. Either way, you see the evidence first.

Our residential roofing covers single-family homes, garage apartments, three-story townhomes and HOA subdivisions. For businesses, we handle TPO, modified bitumen and metal roofs. Our office sits north of Loop 610 between US-290 and I-45, so we reach most of the city and the northwest suburbs quickly.

Why roofs wear out faster in Houston

Four forces shorten roof life on the Gulf Coast. Knowing which one hit your roof tells you what to fix.

Heat

Months of sun and UV

Long, hot summers dry out asphalt shingles and cook poorly ventilated attics. Heat is the quiet reason many roofs here fail years before their rated life.

Hail

Spring storm season

Hail bruises shingles and knocks off the granules that protect them. The damage is easy to miss from the ground and often shows up as leaks a year later.

Wind

Hurricanes and derechos

Tropical storms and sudden windstorms, like the May 2024 derecho, lift shingle edges, peel flashing and drop limbs on roofs across the city.

Rain

Heavy rain and humidity

Around 50 inches of rain a year and constant humidity mean any opening lets water in fast, and wet decking rots quickly in this climate.

After a major storm, a free roof inspection catches damage while it is still a small repair. If hail or wind did the damage, our insurance claim help gives you the photos and measurements your adjuster needs.

Storm, hail and hurricane repairs

When a storm opens your roof, the first job is stopping the water. We tarp or temporarily seal the roof, photograph every damaged area and then plan the permanent fix. Hail damage gets a close inspection shingle by shingle, because bruised shingles often look fine from the driveway.

Common after storms in Cypress, Spring and Jersey Village.

Historic Heights homes and townhomes

Inside the City of Houston's historic districts, such as the Houston Heights districts, changing a roof material, for example from shingles to standing seam metal, goes through a Certificate of Appropriateness reviewed by the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission. We help you plan around that review.

Newer three-story townhomes in the Heights, Montrose and Spring Branch often have low-slope TPO sections that pond water. See TPO and flat roofing.

Roofing permits: City, suburb or county?

Roofing rules depend on where the house sits. Inside the City of Houston, a Residential Roofing Permit is required for a re-roof or roofing overlay, handled through Houston Public Works and the Houston Permitting Center, with an inspection afterward. Small roof covering repairs of 100 square feet or less are exempt.

Bellaire, West University Place, Jersey Village and Humble are separate cities with their own building departments. In unincorporated Harris County, including much of Cypress, Spring and Atascocita, HOA deed restrictions usually control roofing materials and colors. We check the right rules for your address before work begins.

How to choose a roofing company in Houston

There are hundreds of roofing companies in Houston, Texas, and after every big storm more trucks arrive from out of state. Texas has no statewide roofing license, so check these things yourself before you sign:

  • A local street address and a phone number you can call back
  • Proof of liability insurance, and RCAT licensing if the roofer has it
  • A written contract that lists materials, permit and warranty
  • No offer to waive or pay your insurance deductible, which Texas law prohibits
  • Photos of your roof, so you can see the damage yourself

Our full guide to choosing a roofer goes deeper.

Commercial roofing

For offices, retail centers, warehouses, churches and apartment buildings, we repair and replace TPO, modified bitumen and metal roofs and set up maintenance plans that catch small problems before they reach tenants. See our commercial roofing services.

New roofs and upgrades

Planning an addition, a garage apartment or a move to metal? Our new roof installation team handles underlayment, ventilation and the permit inspection.

Common roofing questions

How much does a new roof cost in Houston?

Most asphalt shingle replacements on local homes run about $9,000 to $20,000, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles about $11,000 to $24,000. Roof size, pitch, old layers and decking repairs move the price. You get a written price after a free inspection.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof?

Inside the City of Houston, a re-roof or overlay needs a Residential Roofing Permit, while roof covering repairs of 100 square feet or less are exempt. Separate cities like Bellaire and Jersey Village have their own rules. We pull the permit for you.

Are impact-resistant shingles worth it here?

For many homeowners, yes. Class 4 shingles resist hail better, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your insurer what discount applies to your policy before you decide.

Can a roofer pay my insurance deductible?

No. Texas law prohibits roofing contractors from waiving, absorbing or rebating a homeowner's insurance deductible. Be cautious of anyone who offers.

What should I do if my roof leaks during a storm?

Move valuables, catch the water and take photos, but stay off the roof. Call (713) 847-1300 and we will tarp or seal the roof as soon as it is safe, then plan the permanent repair.

How long does a roof last on the Gulf Coast?

Architectural shingles typically last about 15 to 25 years here, depending on ventilation and storm exposure. Metal and tile roofs last much longer when installed and maintained correctly.

Do you offer free roof inspections?

Yes. Inspections are free, include photos you can keep and come with no obligation to hire us.

What areas do you serve?

The whole city, including the Heights, Garden Oaks, Spring Branch and Memorial, plus Bellaire, West University Place, Jersey Village, Cypress, Spring, Aldine and Humble.
