Roof replacement begins with an inspection and photos, followed by a written scope and price.
One call to (855) 512-1072 reaches Roofers Hotline for roof replacement in Houston and 9 towns across Harris, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Waller and 4 more counties. Calls are answered 24 hours a day and every estimate is put in writing before work starts.
The Storm Prediction Center has logged 120 hail reports within 15 km of the city center since 2000, a very high band for storm inspection.
Roof replacement here starts with stripping the old layers down to the deck and hauling the debris away. Harris County's NOAA storm record shows 137 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, so hail-bruised shingles are common. Ask for a written estimate that lists the tear-off and disposal.
Once the shingles are off, the plywood or boards underneath get checked panel by panel, and soft or stained sections are replaced. The metro averages 54.1 inches of precipitation a year in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals at the metro port station, which is enough to rot a deck behind a slow leak. Call to book that inspection.
Underlayment and drip edge keep water from getting under the shingles and behind the fascia. Ice dams are a low risk here, but wind-driven rain is not: the area has 36 federal disaster declarations from 1973 to date, the latest being Hurricane Beryl on July 9, 2024. Ask which waterproofing layers go into your estimate.
You pick the roofing material, and the estimate names the fastener rating that goes with it. Hail as large as 2.75 inches shows up in the county's NOAA record, and the metro logs about 109 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, so the choice affects how the roof handles both. Call to compare options for your home.
Step by step, from the first call to the written estimate, the work is explained under how roof replacement works.
Harris County logged 137 hail events of 1 inch or larger since 2015, and the largest stones measured 2.75 inches. Hail reports within 15 km of Houston since 2000 number 120, which puts the city in the Very High band among the towns Roofers Hotline serves. Hail that size bruises shingles and loosens granules, and repeated storms wear a roof down faster than its age suggests. Roofers Hotline handles roof replacement here: tear-off of the old layers, decking inspection, underlayment and new shingles, metal or tile.
About 48% of Houston's homes were built before 1980, against 38% county-wide (ACS 2019-2023), and the median home dates to 1981. Older roofs here have already been through decades of heat and storms. The metro-Port station records 54.1 inches of precipitation a year and 108.8 days at or above 90 F (1991-2020 normals), so shingles take sun and moisture for much of the year. Snow is not a factor, and ice-dam risk is Low.

Shingles past 20 to 25 years with widespread granule loss are common after Houston's hail seasons, since the county's largest stones reached 2.75 inches. Repairs every season on different sections point to a roof wearing out as a whole. Sagging deck lines visible from the street often come from years of 54.1 inches of annual rain soaking the decking. Multiple layers already on the roof are worth checking in older houses, since 48% of the city's homes predate 1980.

Why call
Hail in this area peaks in May, so a roof that already shows wear is best looked at before then. The Houston-Port station averages only 4.8 freeze days a year, so cold rarely limits when work can happen. Tropical weather matters more: Hurricane Beryl, declared on July 9, 2024, is the latest of 36 federal disaster declarations that include the county from 1973 to date. Call after any hail or wind event, or when repairs keep recurring, and ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
The same service is booked in other towns too; see roofing coverage in Highlands, 22 miles away.
Texas licensing: Texas has no statewide roofing license, so ask the contractor for a certificate of insurance. Look up any license at Texas Department of Insurance.
Questions
Harris County recorded 137 hail events of 1 inch or larger since 2015, with 27 in 2023 and 25 in 2024. Hail reports within 15 km of the metro since 2000 number 120, a Very High band. May is the peak month.
Age is one factor. About 48% of local homes were built before 1980, and the median home dates to 1981. Granule loss past 20 to 25 years, repairs on different sections each season, or several layers on the roof usually point toward replacement.
It covers tear-off of the old layers and disposal, decking inspection and replacement where soft, ice-and-water shield, underlayment and drip edge, then new shingles, metal or tile with manufacturer-rated fasteners. You get a written estimate before any work starts.
Texas has no statewide roofing license, so ask the contractor for a certificate of insurance. You can also look up any license at the Texas Department of Insurance. Deductibles are never waived or rebated.
