Homes and roofs in Houston
Houston is mostly slab-on-grade homes with asphalt shingles, older bungalows in the Heights, townhouses with low-slope sections and huge commercial roofs across the metro.
Common coverings here include asphalt shingles, clay and concrete tile, standing-seam and other metal roofs, and flat roofs with modified bitumen, TPO or EPDM membranes.
Weather, storms and access
Hurricane Harvey (2017), the May 2024 derecho and Hurricane Beryl (July 2024) all damaged Houston roofs. Humid heat also speeds algae streaking and shingle ageing.
A roofer checks the covering, flashings, valleys, penetrations, gutters and the deck or battens underneath, because a leak inside rarely sits directly under the damage on the roof.
Licensing and building rules
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor licence and TDLR does not license roofers; some cities require contractor registration and permits, and the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas runs a voluntary licensing programme. Texas law bars roofers from offering to waive or pay a homeowner’s insurance deductible.
In the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) area along the coast, roof work needs a Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection and certificate for the home to stay eligible for TWIA cover. Inland, the city’s adopted International Residential Code and local amendments set reroofing rules.
Typical roofing work in Houston
Emergency leak repairs and tarping, storm and hail damage, shingle and flashing repairs, ice-dam damage and ventilation, flat-roof repairs, gutters and full re-roofs. Every roof is different, so it is inspected before any work is quoted.
Stay off the roof yourself, especially when it is wet or after a storm. If you are claiming on insurance, photograph the damage from the ground and keep receipts for any emergency covering.
