Roofing company in Houston, TX
The largest city in Texas, where a re-roof needs an inspected city permit and about 58 of every 100 homes are not lived in by their owners. We inspect first, bring your roof system down to you in photos, and lay out maintenance, repair or replacement with a price for each. You decide.
What roofs in Houston deal with
Houston is the largest city in Texas, about 2.3 million people, and only 42.1% of homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020–2024). That means a lot of Houston roofs belong to landlords and investors as well as homeowners, and the person who signs is often not the person who lives under the roof. Every page of our proposal is written for the person who was not there.
A re-roof inside the City of Houston needs a permit and an inspection, unlike unincorporated Montgomery County, where the county says no permit is needed. The area we work in meets the city on the north side: Greater Greenspoint, Aldine, Kingwood and the Lake Houston area. Houston also took the 2024 derecho and Beryl within two months of each other.
- May 16, 2024 derecho: measured peak gust of 78 mph at Highlands, estimated gusts to about 100 mph in Houston, and about 922,000 CenterPoint customers lost power at the peak.
- Beryl, July 8, 2024: gusts up to 105 mph, about 2.2 million CenterPoint customers without power, damage over $6 billion, mostly downed trees and branches.
- Houston hail season peaks April through June; golf-ball hail (1.75 inch) was reported May 24, 2017.
Texas Property Code §202.011 limits how far an HOA can ban wind- and hail-resistant shingles, but architectural review can still be required. Get your HOA's approval in writing before the job.
How we work in Houston
- Maintenance first. If the roof has years in it, we fix the parts that fail and keep it going.
- Repair if needed. A leak gets its source found and fixed once.
- Replace only when the roof justifies it, and we prove it with photos.
