Houston homes in the Heights and Montrose often lose shingles when 70-plus mph gusts hit during hurricane season. Older roofs lack the metal hurricane clips that Harris County now requires on new work. We add those clips plus 30-pound felt underlayment before laying fresh shingles so the next storm does not peel the deck again.
After a storm the real problem starts in our subtropical summers. Heat and humidity push water under torn flashing around chimneys and skylights, and mold grows in attics within days. We cut out wet decking, replace it with plywood that meets current code, then seal every joint with high-temp sealant rated for Houston summers.
Cheap crews skip the permit step in Harris County and just nail new shingles over damaged ones. That fails the next inspection and leaves homeowners paying twice. We pull every permit, photograph the work, and schedule the final county check so the job stays legal and the insurance claim stays clean.
Call us at 11767 Katy Fwy during Mon–Fri 8am–6pm or Sat 9am–2pm when your roof shows missing shingles after a storm. We show up fast, tarp what needs covering, and give a straight price before any work starts.
