Common questions

Is Houston Roofing Pro a roofing company?

No. It is a phone line and website that connects you with independent local roofing companies. They inspect, quote and do the work, and you pay them directly.

Who answers when I call?

An automated assistant answers any time of day, asks what you need and where you are, and transfers you to a local roofing company. If they cannot pick up, your details are passed along for a call back.

Does it cost anything to call?

No. Houston Roofing Pro may be paid a referral fee by the companies it connects callers with, but you never pay the line.

Can you tell me what a new roof will cost?

No one should price a roof without seeing it. The roofing company will inspect it and give you a written quote. The replacement cost guide explains what drives the price.

Are roofers licensed in Texas?

No. Texas has no state license for roofing contractors. Ask any roofer for a certificate of insurance, a written scope and local addresses you can drive past.

Can a roofer pay my insurance deductible?

No. Texas law requires you to pay your own deductible and makes it illegal for a contractor to waive, rebate or absorb it.

Do I need a permit for a new roof?

It depends where you live. Houston, Sugar Land and several other cities require one; unincorporated county areas usually do not. Coastal areas may also need a state windstorm inspection. The city pages on this site cover each area.

How fast can someone come out?

That depends on the roofing company and the weather. After a big storm, every roofer in town is busy, so call early and ask for a tarp if water is coming in.

What areas do you cover?

The Houston area, including Katy, Cypress, Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Tomball, Humble, Kingwood, Pasadena, Baytown, Pearland, Friendswood, League City, Sugar Land, Missouri City and Richmond.
