Who does roof replacement in Houston and what does it involve? We pull off the old layers, check the deck, and put down new shingles or metal on homes in Montrose, River Oaks, Heights, Midtown, and Downtown. Most jobs finish in two to four days once we start.
Houston's subtropical climate with hot humid summers and mild winters speeds up shingle wear, especially on south-facing slopes. We use GAF Timberline HDZ shingles because the sealant strips hold better in the heat and humidity that rots cheaper felt fast.
A common failure point in Harris County homes is the valley where two roof planes meet. Cheap crews skip extra flashing there and leaks show up after the first big rain. We always add a full-width peel-and-stick membrane plus step flashing so water stays out.
Harris County requires a permit for any full replacement and the inspector checks nailing patterns and ridge vent. Skip that step and you risk fines plus insurance headaches later. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection so the job passes the first time.
