Expert roofing services backed by 20+ years of experience.
A roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roofing system down to the deck, followed by installation of new underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and shingles (or other roofing material). Unlike repairs, which address isolated issues, replacement addresses systemic problems like widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or structural deck damage. In Houston, we often find that older roofs have hidden rot from years of humidity and thermal cycling, making replacement the only safe option.
In Houston, a typical roof replacement costs between $7,000 and $15,000 for asphalt shingles on a standard 2,000-square-foot home, depending on pitch, complexity, and material grade. Premium materials like metal or tile can range from $20,000 to $40,000. Our estimates include all labor, materials, permits, and cleanup — no hidden fees. We recommend budgeting an additional 10–15% for unforeseen deck repairs, common in older Houston homes.
We install several high-performance shingle lines proven in Houston’s climate. Owens Corning Duration Series architectural shingles offer a Class 4 impact rating and SureNail® strip for wind resistance up to 130 mph. GAF Timberline HDZ impact-resistant shingles feature LayerLock™ technology for enhanced durability. CertainTeed Landmark Pro provides a Class 4 impact rating and is backed by a lifetime limited warranty. For metal roofs, we use 26-gauge standing seam panels with concealed fasteners and radiant barrier underlayment to reduce attic heat.
Several signs indicate replacement is necessary rather than repair. Missing or cracked shingles visible from the ground or during inspection suggest widespread deterioration. Granules in gutters or downspouts indicate accelerated wear, especially after hailstorms. Leaks or water stains on ceilings often mean the underlayment has failed. Daylight visible through roof boards from the attic means decking gaps have opened. Additionally, if your roof is over 20 years old or has had multiple repairs in the past five years, replacement is more cost-effective long-term.
Step 1: Inspection and Estimate — We perform a thorough inspection of your roof deck, attic, and ventilation. We provide a written estimate within 24 hours, including material options and timelines.
Step 2: Permitting and Material Ordering — We handle all permits required by the City of Houston (residential roof replacements over 50% require a permit per IBC/IRC). Structural alterations need engineered drawings and city approval. We order materials to arrive the day before installation.
Step 3: Tear-Off and Deck Prep — Our crew removes all old shingles, underlayment, and flashing. We inspect the deck for rot or damage and replace compromised sections with 7/16” OSB or plywood. We install new drip edge and ice-and-water shield at valleys and penetrations.
Step 4: Underlayment and Flashing — We install a synthetic underlayment (e.g., GAF Deck-Armor) for superior waterproofing. In Houston, we use a radiant barrier underlayment where available to reduce attic heat. All pipe boots, vent stacks, and chimney flashing are replaced with corrosion-resistant aluminum or copper.
Step 5: Shingle Installation — We install shingles per manufacturer specifications, using ring-shank nails (required for high wind installation) and a 6-nail pattern for enhanced wind uplift resistance. We stagger seams and ensure proper alignment.
Step 6: Cleanup and Final Inspection — We magnetically sweep the property for stray nails, remove all debris, and perform a final walkthrough with you. We provide a digital photo report of the completed work and all warranty documents.
Most residential roof replacements take 2–4 days, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. A standard 2,000-square-foot home with a simple gable roof is typically completed in 3 days. Complex roofs with multiple valleys, steep pitches, or tile removal may take 5–7 days. We schedule around Houston’s rain patterns, often working in early morning to avoid afternoon thunderstorms.
Texas state law requires contractors to be licensed for work over $3,000 — we are fully licensed and insured. We work directly with your insurance adjuster for claim approvals. Our workmanship warranty covers labor for 5 years, and shingle manufacturers offer 30–50 year limited warranties. We provide all paperwork for your records and can assist with filing claims for storm damage.
Houston’s climate presents unique challenges: High wind uplift from hurricanes and storms demands shingles rated for 130+ mph and ring-shank nails. Thermal expansion cracking from extreme heat cycles requires flexible underlayment and proper ventilation. Hail impact damage causing granule loss and punctures makes Class 4 impact-resistant shingles a smart investment. UV degradation leading to brittleness and curling is mitigated by reflective granules and radiant barriers. Ice dam prevention is not needed in TX, but moisture management is critical to prevent mold.
Look for blistering, curling, or brittle shingles that crack easily when handled. Granules may appear sand-like in gutters. Dark, discolored patches indicate accelerated UV breakdown. These signs often appear after 10–15 years in Houston’s intense sun.
