Houston's subtropical climate brings sudden hail mixed with high humidity. That combo beats up asphalt shingles fast, especially on 3-tab roofs common in Midtown and Downtown. Cheap crews often skip new synthetic underlayment, so water sneaks in at the seams once summer rains hit.
Harris County requires a permit for any roof work over 100 squares. We pull those permits the same day we document hail hits. Skip this step and inspectors can red-tag the job, forcing you to pay twice when the next storm rolls through.
Common Hail Failure Points
Granule loss shows first on south-facing slopes near the Houston Zoo area. We replace those sections with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles that carry a Class 4 impact rating. Homeowners in River Oaks often see leaks start at pipe boots after one bad storm because old boots crack under heat and hail.
We never just slap tar over dents. That fix fails in our mild winters when freeze-thaw cycles open the patches. Instead we cut out damaged decking and sister new plywood where needed before laying fresh felt and shingles.
