Roof replacement in Houston
A roof built for Gulf storms: sound decking, sealed flashing, real ventilation and shingles rated for wind and hail. Permitted, inspected and documented for your insurer.
Quick answer: Remodeling magazine’s 2025 Cost vs Value report puts a typical Houston asphalt shingle roof replacement at about $27,519 and a metal roof at about $44,883. Inside the City of Houston, a re-roof needs a roofing permit unless it covers 100 square feet or less. Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles cost more but can lower insurance premiums.

Roofing projects we build
Architectural shingle roofs
The Houston standard. Rated for high wind when installed to the manufacturer’s nailing pattern.
Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles
Built to resist hail. Ask your insurer: many Texas carriers discount premiums for them.
Standing-seam metal roofs
Long life, high wind resistance and a cooler attic, at a higher upfront cost.
Storm and insurance roofs
We document damage for your adjuster and build to code. We never waive or cover a deductible.
Storm and insurance roofs: cost and detailsWhat makes a Houston roof last
- Decking: soft or rotten boards are replaced, not covered. You’ll see photos and the count before we close it up.
- Flashing: most leaks start at walls, chimneys and vents, not in the shingles. New flashing, not reused.
- Ventilation: a hot, unvented attic cooks shingles from below and raises your power bill.
- Wind: shingles nailed to the high-wind pattern, with starter strips at the eaves and rakes.
HOAs and better shingles
Texas Property Code § 202.011 generally keeps HOAs from prohibiting shingles designed to resist wind and hail, improve energy efficiency or generate solar power, as long as they look similar to approved shingles in the neighborhood.

Permits
The City of Houston requires a residential roofing permit for a re-roof or overlay. Roof covering work of 100 square feet or less is exempt, and work that changes the roof structure needs plans. Bellaire, West U, the Villages and the suburbs issue their own permits, and Brazoria and Galveston counties add windstorm inspection. We pull the right permit and schedule inspections.
