Roofing in Houston, TX

Houston sits at the intersection of three storm cycles that no other major US city carries simultaneously. Spring hail rolls down from the Texas hail alley between February and May, producing 1 to 3 inch stones across Harris County roughly 10 to 14 times per year. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, with named-storm wind events arriving up the Gulf Coast every 18 months on average. Fall and winter add cold-front gust events that finish off any roof the summer left tired. Combine that with 105 F summer attic temperatures, 60 inches of annual rainfall, and high humidity that drives mold and algae, and you have the most demanding residential roof environment in the lower 48.

Harris County logs more 1 inch plus hail events per decade than any other Texas county outside of the DFW metroplex. The 2016 Cypress storm, the 2019 east Houston cell, and the 2024 Heights and Memorial events each produced widespread 1.5 to 2.5 inch hail. If you have lived in Houston for more than 5 years, your roof has almost certainly been struck. The damage is rarely visible from the curb, which is why we do free 24-hour drone inspections on every property in the city limits.

Houston has absorbed direct hits from Alicia (1983), Allison (2001), Ike (2008), Harvey (2017), and Beryl (2024). Every named storm produces a 12 to 18 month surge in roof failures: tabs lifted in the initial wind event fail later in routine afternoon storms, and water that found its way under flashing in the first event does not finish damaging decking for another year. We see Harvey-era roofs failing today and Beryl-era roofs starting to leak in 2026.

Houston housing stock spans 1910 Heights bungalows, 1950s ranch homes in Sharpstown and Meyerland, 1970s split-levels in Memorial, 2000s suburban tract builds in Cypress and Pearland, and 2020s townhome stacks in Midtown and the East End. We carry trained crews for asphalt architectural, 3-tab, standing seam metal, concrete tile, clay tile, slate, modified bitumen, TPO, and silicone-coat low-slope systems. Whatever you have, we install or repair it.

Roof replacements inside the City of Houston require a building permit pulled in the homeowner's name. We pull every permit, schedule the city inspection at tear-off and final, and close the record so it transfers cleanly when you sell. Several inner-loop neighborhoods (Houston Heights Historic District, parts of Riverside Terrace) add Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission Certificate of Appropriateness requirements; we handle those packets at no charge.

Houston is the most contested wind and hail claim market in Texas. Carriers have tightened wording aggressively since Harvey, added cosmetic damage exclusions, and shortened reporting windows. We file claims in your name, meet your adjuster on the roof, and supplement with Xactimate line items where the carrier's initial scope falls short. Free pre-claim inspection so you do not put a denial on your CLUE record before you know the loss qualifies.

Houston jobs start with a permit application and a parking plan, because most inner-loop streets cannot take a dumpster and a material drop at the same time. We stage material on the driveway the evening before, crews arrive at 7 AM, and tear-off on a standard two-story is finished before the afternoon storm window. City inspection is scheduled at tear-off and again at final. You get the permit close-out, the photo report, and the lien release before any final payment.

We run dedicated pages for the Houston neighborhoods where we do the most work, with local storm history, HOA notes, and claim specifics for each:
