Roofing Materials We Install

Asphalt Shingles

The most popular choice for Houston homes, offering 25-50 year lifespans depending on quality grade. Architectural shingles provide superior wind resistance (130 mph ratings) critical for Gulf Coast weather.

Metal Roofing

Aluminum and steel roofing systems reflect up to 70% of solar heat, reducing cooling costs by 10-25% in Texas summers. Expected lifespan: 40-70 years.

Clay & Concrete Tile

Premium option for Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. Tiles withstand extreme heat and provide natural insulation. Lifespan: 50-100 years.

Synthetic Slate

Offers the appearance of natural slate at 40-50% lower cost and weight. Impact-resistant formulations protect against hail damage. Lifespan: 30-50 years.

Why Houston Roofs Need Replacement

Houston's climate creates unique challenges for residential roofs:

• Storm Damage: the Gulf Coast averages 12-15 severe weather events annually, with hail and high winds degrading shingles 30-40% faster than in moderate climates
• UV Exposure: intense Texas sun breaks down asphalt shingle oils, causing cracking and granule loss after 15-20 years
• Humidity & Algae: moisture promotes algae growth (black streaks) and accelerates wood decking deterioration
• Temperature Fluctuations: rapid heating and cooling cycles cause expansion and contraction that loosens fasteners and seals

Most Houston roofs require replacement every 18-25 years, compared to 25-30 years in northern climates.

Insurance Claims Assistance

We work directly with insurance adjusters to document storm damage and ensure your claim covers all necessary repairs. Our team:

• Provides detailed damage reports with photo documentation
• Meets with adjusters on-site to review findings
• Supplements initial estimates when additional damage is discovered
• Handles all paperwork and claim correspondence

Texas law requires insurance companies to cover roof replacement when damage exceeds certain thresholds. We help you understand your coverage and maximize your claim.
