Can I receive a quote over the phone, even if I have measurements?
While we understand the convenience, we don’t provide quotes over the phone. An in-person inspection ensures we can properly evaluate your roof and give you an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.
When should I replace my roof?
The timing for roof replacement depends largely on the material installed. Asphalt shingle roofs typically require replacement every 15 to 20 years, while metal roofs—valued for their durability—can often last up to 50 years or more. Understanding these lifespan expectations helps homeowners plan ahead for maintenance and long-term protection.

Depending on the size of your home, you can expect a roof replacement to be completed in 1-2 days.
Do you offer financing?

Learn more about how different roofing materials perform in Texas and which options are best suited for Houston’s climate.
What is the most common roof type in Houston?

Their cost-effectiveness makes them a practical solution for many homeowners. Discover why asphalt shingles continue to be the preferred option for roofs across Houston and the rest of Texas.
Do you need a license to roof in Texas?
State licensing is not required for roofing contractors in Texas, but many professionals pursue voluntary certification through the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT). This credential, while optional, reflects a contractor’s dedication to maintaining industry best practices, ongoing education, and high-quality service.
What roofing materials do you work with?
Every property deserves a roofing solution tailored to its specific needs. That’s why we offer premium material options including asphalt shingles, tile, metal, TPO, and slate.

How long does a metal roof last?

How long will my flat roof last?
Most flat roofing materials will last between 20-30 years.
How long does a tile roof last for?
Tile roofs are known for their longevity and can often last 50 to 100 years or more, especially when properly installed and maintained.
How long will my commercial roof last?
The expected lifespan of a commercial roof is largely determined by the roofing material, though most systems generally last about 20 years with proper maintenance.
What are the signs that I need to have my commercial roof repaired?
Tearing, bubbling, leaks, and standing water are all indicators that it may be time to contact a qualified roofing contractor.
What commercial roofing products do you offer?
We offer solutions for a wide range of flat roofing applications, specializing in high-performance TPO and metal roofing systems.
What are common signs of storm damage?
Common signs of storm damage on a roof include missing or lifted shingles, cracked or torn roofing materials, dents from hail, and leaks. If you see any of these issues after a storm, it’s best to have a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage and prevent further problems.
If I shop for a lower price than what the insurance company estimates, can I keep the extra money?
No, insurance companies only pay for the work that is actually completed. Final payments are typically withheld until proof of completion is provided, and any unused funds are not paid out. Attempting to profit from an insurance claim is considered insurance fraud.
What if my roof is old—will insurance still pay?
Age alone doesn’t automatically disqualify your roof from coverage. Insurance companies focus on storm-related damage rather than just the age of the materials. However, some policies may apply depreciation to older materials. A qualified contractor can help explain the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost coverage so you know what to expect.
How much will I have to pay out of pocket?
In most cases, homeowners are responsible for their insurance deductible. Any additional costs would typically come from upgrades or items not covered by your policy. Reviewing a detailed estimate upfront helps ensure there are no unexpected expenses.
