A phone line for Houston roofing, not another roofing company

Roofing in Houston comes with a long list of choices: hundreds of companies, door-knockers after every storm, and quotes that are hard to compare. This site and its phone line exist to make the first step simple.

Houston Expert Roofers is a free phone number plus the guides on this website. It does not own ladders or trucks, does not inspect or price roofs, and holds no license or certification. Dial it at any hour and an automated assistant gets a short description of the roof problem and your neighborhood, then transfers you to an independent, locally owned roofing company that works in your area.

That company does everything that follows: it looks at the roof, explains what it found, puts its own price in writing, carries out the job and sends its bill to you, or to your insurer if that is what you arrange. You never pay the line. Roofing companies may pay it a referral fee, and every page says so.

What happens when you call

The same number also takes air conditioning, pressure washing and water damage calls, so the assistant asks which one you need first. Then it works like this.

  1. Call the numberAn automated assistant answers (832) 662-4107 at any hour and asks which service you need, since the line also takes heating, cooling, pressure washing and water damage calls.
  2. Describe the roofA leak, missing shingles, hail, a limb on the roof or an old roof you want looked at, plus your part of greater Houston and how urgent it is.
  3. Get put throughYour call is transferred to an independent, locally owned roofing company, which hears a short summary before it picks up.
  4. Deal with the roofer directlyIt inspects, quotes and does the work, and you pay it (or your insurer does, as you arrange). If it misses the call, it gets your name, number, city and need to call you back.

Roofing jobs you can call about

Each page explains the job in plain terms: what usually goes wrong on Houston roofs, what a careful roofer does about it, and what to ask before you sign. The roofer you are connected with decides on the roof, not over the phone, whether it is a repair or a replacement.

Roof Repair in Houston

Lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, worn flashing and soft spots in the deck. When a targeted repair makes sense and what a written repair quote should list.

Roof Replacement in Houston

Tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing and ventilation. The signs a roof is finished, the permit question in your city, and the line items a quote must show.

Roof Leak Repair

Why the drip is rarely under the hole, where Houston roofs usually let water in, and the safe things to do indoors while you wait for the roofer.

Storm Damage Roof Repair

Wind, falling limbs and tropical rain. What the derecho and Hurricane Beryl did to Houston roofs, and the order of things after a storm.

Hail Damage Roof Repair

Bruised shingles you cannot see from the driveway, the dented metal that gives hail away, and how a roofer decides between a repair and a new roof.

Roof Inspection in Houston

What a thorough roof inspection covers, attic included, how it differs from a home inspection or an adjuster's visit, and what the report should show.

Emergency Roof Repair and Tarping

Water coming in or a tree on the roof. What counts as an emergency, what a proper tarp looks like, and the safe steps indoors until help arrives.

Commercial Roofing in Houston

TPO, modified bitumen, coatings and metal on Houston's low-slope business roofs, plus the permits, maintenance and drainage questions owners should ask.

Flat Roof Repair

Ponding water, split seams and blistered membranes on flat and low-slope roofs, from garages and patio covers to small commercial buildings.

Metal Roofing in Houston

Standing seam and exposed-fastener panels, heat, wind ratings, HOA rules and insurance questions for a metal roof on a Houston home or outbuilding.

Wind Damage Roof Repair

Broken seal strips and creased tabs that leave a roof looking fine from the street. Where wind gets a grip and how a roofer documents it.

Roof Flashing Repair

Where flashing goes on a roof, why chimneys, walls, skylights and valleys leak first, and what a proper flashing repair involves.

What Houston weather does to a roof

Houston roofs take heat, humidity, wind and hard rain, often in the same week. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and the storms that do the most roof damage are not always hurricanes.

  • Straight-line wind. On May 16, 2024, a derecho sent a swath of winds over 100 mph through the Houston metro, according to the National Weather Service, lifting and tearing shingles across the region.
  • Tropical storms and hurricanes. Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Matagorda on July 8, 2024 as a Category 1 storm. Its wind brought down trees and limbs across the metro and left more than two million CenterPoint Energy customers without power.
  • Hail. Spring thunderstorms bring hail that can bruise shingles without leaving marks you can see from the driveway. See hail damage roof repair.
  • Heat and humidity. Sun and heat dry out shingles and the rubber seals around vents, and wet decking dries slowly in Gulf Coast humidity. See how long a roof lasts in Houston.

Stay off the roof. Wet, storm-damaged roofs are slick and the decking may be weak, so leave the ladder in the garage. Keep well away from downed power lines and report them to CenterPoint Energy or 911. Indoors, move belongings away from the leak, put a bucket or towels under the drip and keep people out of any room where the ceiling sags. Photograph the damage from the ground and inside the house, then call your insurer and a roofer.

Before you hire any roofer in Texas

The line does not vet, rate or license anyone, so these checks are yours to make, whichever company you end up hiring.

What you can check

  • A certificate of liability insurance, sent to you by the insurer or agent
  • A written contract with tear-off, decking price per sheet, underlayment, flashing and ventilation spelled out
  • A permit pulled in the roofer's name where your city requires one
  • Roofs the company finished near you that you can drive past
  • The shingle maker's warranty registration after the job

What Texas law says

  • There is no state roofing license in Texas.
  • A contractor may not waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible.
  • A contract of $1,000 or more paid with insurance money must carry a notice that you must pay the deductible.
  • A roofer may not act as your public adjuster on a property it works on.
  • In the coastal catastrophe area, most roof work must pass a Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection.

Questions Houston homeowners ask

Is Houston Expert Roofers a roofing company?

No. It is a phone number that costs nothing to call, plus this website. Nobody here climbs on roofs, inspects, sells shingles, quotes or does repairs. Once you dial, an automated assistant finds out what is happening and puts you through to an independent, locally owned roofing company in greater Houston. The inspecting, pricing and roof work are that company's, and so is the bill you pay. Companies may pay the line a referral fee. The how it works page explains each step.

How do I find a good roofing company in Houston?

Start with what you can check. Texas has no state license for roofers, so ask for a certificate of liability insurance sent to you, a written contract that lists the full scope, a permit where your city requires one, and addresses of roofs the company did near you. Be wary of anyone who offers to cover your insurance deductible, which is illegal in Texas. The guide do roofers need a license in Texas has the full checklist.

Does it cost anything to call?

No. There is no charge to call or to be put through, and no bill ever comes from the line. The roofing company sets its own prices and should give you a written estimate before any work starts. Many roofers inspect at no charge, but policies differ, so confirm that on the call. For what drives the price of a new roof, see the roof replacement cost guide.

Can I call at night or right after a storm?

Yes. Every hour of every day, calls are picked up by the automated assistant. It transfers your call to a local roofing company, and if nobody there can pick up, it takes your name, number, city, what you need and how urgent it is, and passes that along for a call back. When a roofer can come out depends on the company and the weather. If water is coming in, see emergency roof repair.

Which parts of greater Houston can call?

Houston plus the suburbs across six counties: Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Galveston, Brazoria and Chambers. Twenty-eight towns have their own page with local permit and windstorm rules, from Katy and Cypress to League City, Galveston and Baytown. The service areas page lists them all.
