What affects the price

Replacing your roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the biggest factor, followed closely by the pitch or steepness of your roof, which dictates how safely crews can work. You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points. We also have to account for the removal and disposal of your current roof, plus the condition of the underlying wood decking that might need repairs once the old shingles are off.

About this service

There are several ways to cover a roof, and the right shingle depends on your budget, local weather, and home style. Options range from standard asphalt to composite or designer shingles that mimic slate or wood. Each type handles wind, rain, and heat differently. When choosing, consider how long you plan to stay in your home and the level of maintenance you are comfortable with. We help you compare the durability and appearance of each to make an informed decision.

Many homeowners prefer fall for roofing because the temperatures are moderate and the weather patterns are usually more stable than in spring. This makes it a great time to seal up your home before the winter snow or freezing rain arrives. It allows us to work at a steady pace, ensuring every shingle is placed perfectly before the climate turns harsh.

Frequently asked in Houston

How do I find a reliable roofing company in Houston?
What are the best shingle types for Houston weather?

For Houston's climate, consider shingles that resist high winds and intense sun. Asphalt shingles with good impact resistance are a common choice here. Some homeowners opt for metal roofing for its durability and longevity in extreme conditions. Discuss options like architectural shingles with your roofing specialist to find the best fit for your home and budget.

What's involved in a rolled roofing installation?

Rolled roofing is often used for low-slope or flat roofs. It comes in large rolls and is typically adhered or mechanically fastened. The pros will prepare the surface, ensuring it's clean and dry. They then unroll the material and secure it, overlapping seams for waterproofing. This method provides a cost-effective solution for specific roof types.

When should I consider a roof inspection in Houston?

Schedule a roof inspection in Houston after any major storm. Also, if you notice leaks, sagging areas, or missing shingles, it's time. Regular inspections, perhaps every 3-5 years, can catch small issues before they escalate. Proactive inspections save you money and prevent extensive damage to your home's structure.

What are the benefits of TPO roofing?

TPO (thermoplastic olefin) roofing is a popular single-ply membrane choice. It's known for its energy efficiency, reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs. TPO is also resistant to punctures and tears, making it durable for Houston's climate. It's a cost-effective option for flat or low-slope roofs, offering good performance.

How does EPDM roofing hold up in Texas heat?

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) is a synthetic rubber roofing material. It offers excellent resistance to UV rays and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for Houston's heat. EPDM is also very durable and can withstand hail and other weather events. It's a reliable choice for flat and low-slope applications.

What are the advantages of metal roofing?

Metal roofing offers exceptional durability and longevity, often outlasting traditional asphalt shingles. It's resistant to fire, wind, and pests. In Houston, metal roofs can also improve energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat. While the initial cost is higher, the long lifespan and low maintenance make it a smart investment.
