Houston's subtropical climate with hot humid summers and mild winters pushes roof decks hard. Heat and trapped moisture rot plywood faster in older homes around the Heights and Montrose, so we always pull up at least two layers before we start a replacement. Cheap crews skip this step and leave rot that shows up the next summer.
Harris County requires a permit for any roof over 100 squares and a final inspection once the job is done. We pull the permit the same day we sign the contract so work does not stall. Homeowners in River Oaks and Midtown often face extra wind-load rules near the downtown corridor, which adds about 15 percent to material costs.
A common failure point on Houston houses is missing ridge vent or blocked soffits that trap heat under the new shingles. We cut in proper ventilation on every replacement so the roof lasts the full 25 to 30 years instead of baking out in eight. That detail separates a job that holds up from one that fails early.
