How much does a new roof cost in Texas?

For a typical 2,000 square foot Houston-area home, an architectural shingle replacement runs about $12,000 to $19,000 installed. Metal runs roughly $25,000 to $40,000 for the same house.

Does homeowners insurance pay for a new roof in Texas?

It pays when the damage is sudden and storm-caused — hail or wind — not when the roof simply wore out. Most Texas policies carry a separate wind-and-hail deductible of 1 to 2 percent of the dwelling value.

How often should a Texas roof be inspected?

Once a year and again after any significant hail or wind event. Our inspections are free.

Are you registered and certified in Texas?

Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so the standards that actually matter are registration and insurance. Roof Repair Company LLC is registered and insured, certified with major shingle manufacturers, and has been roofing the Houston metro since 2010.

Is the inspection and estimate really free?

Yes. Every inspection and written estimate is free, includes photo documentation of what we found, and carries a fixed price before any work starts.

What a Texas roof actually costs, how long it really lasts here, and what to install if you plan to keep the house.

Texas homeowners consistently get quoted a national average that has little to do with what a Gulf Coast roof costs or how long it lasts. This page gives the local numbers we actually see and bill.

Short version: expect $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot installed for architectural shingles, expect roughly 18 to 22 years of real service life in Houston heat, and expect hail to be the event that ends most roofs rather than age alone.

Texas Roofing Costs by Material

Service	Typical Cost	Timeline
Architectural shingle replacement	$4.50–$7.50 per sq ft	1–2 days
Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles	$6.00–$9.50 per sq ft	1–2 days
Standing seam metal roof	$11–$18 per sq ft	3–5 days
Concrete or clay tile	$12–$22 per sq ft	4–7 days
Decking replacement (as needed)	$2–$5 per sq ft	Add 1 day
Free roof measurement and estimate	$0	24–48 hours

Costs above include tear-off, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and pipe boots, disposal, and cleanup. Decking replacement is billed only where rot is found and photographed.

How Long Roofs Last in Texas

Three-tab shingles: 12–15 years. Rated for 25 but rarely make it past 15 here. We generally do not recommend them for a home you intend to keep.
Architectural shingles: 18–22 years. The default choice for Houston-area homes. Class 4 versions add hail resistance and usually an insurance discount.
Metal and tile: 40–50+ years. Higher upfront cost, dramatically longer service life, and better wind performance on the coast.
