Professional Roofing Installation & Replacement

Local roofing professionals handle full roof replacements, new roof installation, tear-offs, underlayment and decking repair, flashing installation, ventilation upgrades, and removal and replacement of gutters and downspouts to ensure a complete, weather‑tight system suited to Houston weather.

Signs a full replacement may be needed include widespread shingle granule loss, multiple leaks, sagging or soft spots in the decking, curling or missing shingles across large areas, and roofs over 20 years old depending on material. A qualified roof inspection can determine whether repair or replacement is the better long‑term option.

Common materials include asphalt composition shingles, metal roofing, modified bitumen for low‑slope roofs, and occasionally tile or slate for specific homes. Asphalt shingles are the most common because they balance cost, performance, and availability for Greater Houston homes.

A typical residential roof replacement takes 1 to 5 days depending on roof size, complexity, weather, and permit requirements. Larger or more complex projects and weather delays can extend the timeline, while straightforward tear‑offs and installations often finish in a couple of days.

Many homeowners insurance policies cover sudden storm damage such as wind and hail, but coverage varies by policy and deductible. Document damage with photos, contact your insurer to file a claim, and have a licensed roofing professional provide a written assessment to support the claim.

Most experienced roofing professionals provide roof inspections, detailed estimates, and documentation to assist with insurance claims. Some will meet with your adjuster, supply scope-of-loss estimates, and advise on next steps, but you should confirm the level of claim assistance before hiring.

Warranties commonly include a manufacturer’s warranty on roofing materials, which varies by product, and a workmanship warranty from the installer, which often ranges from 1 year to several years. Ask for warranty details in writing, including coverage limits and claim procedures.

Yes, most cities in the Houston metro require building permits for full roof replacements or major roofing work. Permit requirements and inspection processes vary by municipality, so a reputable contractor will obtain necessary permits and schedule inspections on your behalf.

Clear vehicles and outdoor furniture from the driveway and yard, trim overhanging tree branches if safe to do so, secure fragile items in attics and along exterior walls, and notify neighbors about expected noise and work hours. The contractor will typically place tarp protection and a debris chute to protect landscaping and property.

Regular maintenance includes annual inspections, clearing gutters and downspouts, removing debris and overhanging branches, checking for and repairing minor damage promptly, and ensuring attic ventilation and insulation are adequate to prevent heat and moisture damage. Regular maintenance helps preserve roofing materials and warranties.
