Invictus Exterior is a Houston-based roofing and exterior contractor with active job sites in West University every week of the year. We handle storm damage repair, full roof replacement, hail and wind insurance claims, siding, windows, gutters, and attic insulation across inner-loop Houston (City of West University Place). Active jobs across central West U, College Court Place, Southside Place, and the 77005 teardown-rebuild zone. Every estimate is free, written, and itemized. Every install is run by a project manager who lives within 20 miles of your home.
- Do you work with copper?
- Yes. Copper valleys, chimney pans, and custom flashings are part of the standard scope on West U historic homes rather than a specialty add on.
- What does West U require on a re-roof?
- A permit on every replacement, plus specific drip edge, ice and water shield, and ventilation details, and a tree protection plan around staging. We handle all of it.
- My rebuild is only a few years old. Should it need work already?
- It should not, but parapet and flat roof detailing on 2015 to 2024 rebuilds is the most common early failure we are called out for.

01 // The West University climate problem
West U sits in the same inner-loop pattern as Bellaire and the Heights. Tropical systems and wind-driven rain are the primary risk. The neighborhood has a mix of 1920s to 1940s historic homes and 2015 to 2024 teardown-rebuilds, both of which need specialized roofing attention.
02 // Historic Tudor and Colonial rooflines
West U's 1920s to 1940s Tudor and Colonial homes have cut-up rooflines with multiple gables, dormers, copper valleys, and slate or tile accents. Standard tract-home pricing does not apply. Every dormer, every valley, and every copper-to-asphalt transition requires custom flashing detail.
03 // City of West University Place permits
West U requires permits for all roof replacements and enforces specific drip-edge, ice-and-water-shield, and ventilation requirements. The city also has strict tree-protection rules around dumpster placement and material staging. We coordinate permits and tree-protection plans on every job.
04 // Teardown-rebuild warranty work
Hundreds of West U teardown-rebuilds from 2015 to 2024 are hitting their first major roof issues. Common defects we see: parapet wall scupper failures on modern flat-roof transitions, missing kick-out flashings, and decorative ridge venting. Most are warranty issues for the original builder; we document and pursue.
05 // Mature canopy and roof debris
Mature live oaks shade most West U streets. Constant leaf and twig debris in gutters, algae streaks on north slopes, and frequent moss in shaded valleys. Algae-resistant shingles and 6-inch gutters with micro-mesh guards are our standard West U spec.
06 // High-value claim documentation
West U insurance values run 3 to 6x suburban Houston. Adjusters are senior and detail-oriented. Our pre-claim reports include drone imagery, strike-density maps, and Xactimate-aligned scopes that match what high-value carriers expect to see.
07 // How a West U project runs
West U lots leave almost no room for staging, so the plan for the dumpster, the material drop, and tree protection is worked out before a date is set. Historic homes get a flashing survey first, because on a Tudor or Colonial the copper and the transitions are where the money and the leaks are. Permits are pulled and inspections scheduled through the city, and the crew works within the tree protection zones the city enforces.
