How much does a new roof cost in Houston?+
It depends on your roof's size, pitch, complexity, the material you choose, and the condition of the decking underneath. Rather than quote an average that may not resemble your project, we let you build an estimate around your own roof in a couple of minutes.
Why do roofing estimates vary so much between companies?+
Estimates differ in what they include. One may reuse existing flashing and vents while another replaces them. One may assume no decking replacement while another builds in an allowance. Warranty tiers and material grades differ too. Compare scope line by line, not just the total.
How is roof size measured for pricing?+
In squares. One square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. Roof surface is larger than your home's floor area, because a pitched roof covers more area than the footprint beneath it.
Does the material I choose make a big difference?+
Yes. Material is usually the widest cost variable you control, ranging from basic asphalt shingles to impact-resistant products and metal systems. The configurator shows how each option changes your estimate as you select it.
What is decking replacement, and will I need it?+
Decking is the sheathing beneath your roof covering. It can only be fully inspected once the old roof is removed, so damaged sections are addressed during the project. It is the most common reason a final invoice differs from an initial estimate.
Do I have to remove my old roof first?+
Tear-off is generally better practice, because it allows the decking to be inspected and the new system installed correctly. Some situations allow an overlay, but it limits inspection and can affect warranty eligibility.
How accurate is the online estimate?+
It is a well-informed starting point based on the details you provide. Enough to budget with, and enough to sanity-check another bid. Final pricing is confirmed after an inspection, because some conditions can only be assessed on site.
Do I have to talk to someone to see pricing?+
No. You can complete the configurator and view an estimate without speaking to anyone. Contact happens when you decide you want it.
Can I finance my roof replacement?+
Roof financing is offered through third-party lending partners. You can review estimated monthly payment options alongside your estimate; approval, rates, and terms are determined by the lender.
What monthly payment should I expect?+
That depends on your project total, the term you choose, and the terms you qualify for. Estimated payment options are shown alongside your estimate so you can compare.
Will insurance pay for my roof replacement?+
That depends on your policy, your deductible, and whether the damage came from a covered event rather than age or wear. Review your declarations page, many Texas policies apply a separate percentage-based wind and hail deductible.
What if my claim is denied or only partially covered?+
A replacement can still move forward. Many homeowners cover the uncovered portion through financing.
How long does a roof replacement take?+
Most residential replacements are measured in days rather than weeks, depending on size, complexity, and weather.
What warranty comes with a new roof?+
There are typically two: a manufacturer warranty covering the materials, and a workmanship warranty covering the installation. Terms vary by product and installer.
