Roofing Contractor in Houston, TX: Hail, Storm & Roof Replacement

Hail, storm and housing conditions in Houston, TX

Houston's storms are Gulf-driven: heavy rain, long-duration wind, and humidity rather than the huge hail of North Texas. Hurricane and tropical remnants are the serious threat, but ordinary summer storms and the occasional freeze do real damage too, and wind-driven rain finds every flashing gap in the city's older housing stock.

Houston's housing ranges from 1920s bungalows in the Heights with pier-and-beam construction and complex dormers to 1960s and 1970s ranches across the southwest, and new tall two-story construction inside the loop. Historic districts and conservation districts cover a meaningful share of the close-in neighborhoods.

We roof across Houston: the Heights, Montrose, Meyerland, West University, Memorial, Spring Branch, Sharpstown, Clear Lake, and the neighborhoods around downtown and the Medical Center.

Houston requires a permit for roof replacement, and homes in historic and conservation districts can face additional review on visible materials. We check district status and pull the permit for every replacement.

A Houston roof lives or dies on its flashings, and that is where we spend most of the inspection. Chimneys, skylights, pipe boots, and the step flashing where a roof meets a wall are the points that fail first, long before the shingle field wears out. We also check how the roof drains: gutters sized for the roof area, downspouts that carry water away from the foundation, and any flat or low-slope section that needs a membrane rather than shingles. Because Houston roofs sit under the same storms year after year, we note the condition of each of these details so you have a record, even when nothing needs replacing today.
