Trusted Roof Repair for Houston Homeowners
Roof repair in Houston typically costs between $350 and $1,800 for most residential fixes, with small shingle replacements starting around $200 and flat roof sealing running higher depending on the membrane. That’s the honest range before you pick up the phone. Tilehurst Roofing Houston, led by Greg Holloway and backed by the Kingswell family of roofing companies founded in 2000, puts a written price in your hands before any work starts.
We know Houston roofs take a beating. Between April downpours, July heat that bakes shingles until they curl, and the occasional hail cell rolling through places like Missouri City or Channelview, a small leak turns structural fast. When you call (254) 566-3573, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue. We schedule the visit, show up in the window we gave you, and leave you with a written guarantee on every repair.
Roof Leak Repair
Leak Repair in Houston usually runs $350 to $900 when the source is a failed pipe boot, missing shingle, or cracked flashing around a vent or chimney. The price climbs if the decking underneath has rotted or if the leak has been running through the attic for months before anyone noticed the ceiling stain. What you need to know: we don’t just patch the visible spot. We trace the water back to its entry point, because Houston’s wind-driven rain sends water sideways, and what shows up on your ceiling in West University Place often started twenty feet away on the roof.
Pipe Boots and Flashing
Most roof leaks in Houston start at penetrations, not in the open field of shingles. Pipe boots crack in the sun after eight or ten years, and Flashing Repair behind a chimney pulls loose during heavy gusts. We replace the boot or re-seat the flashing, then run water over the area to prove the fix before we come down.
Ceiling Stains and Attic Investigation
A ceiling stain only tells you where the water ended up, not where it got in. Our technicians inspect the attic first, following water trails and checking decking for soft spots. That’s how we find secondary entry points that a one-note patch job would miss, saving you from a second repair six weeks later.
Styles & brands we work with
Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency roof repair in Houston covers the urgent stuff: a tree limb through the decking, wind that peeled back a section of shingles, or a leak that opened up during a storm and is now dumping water into a bedroom. When that happens, call (254) 566-3573 any hour. A live person answers day or night, including weekends. We’ll get a tarp on the roof quickly to stop the water, then schedule the permanent fix with a written price before any work begins.
Tarping and Temporary Protection
The first job in an emergency is stopping active water intrusion. We secure a heavy-duty tarp over the damaged section, fastening it so it holds against Houston’s gusting winds until the full repair is scheduled. Don’t climb up there yourself after a storm. Wet shingles are slick, and storm-damaged roofs can hide structural weakness.
After-Hours Response
We answer emergency calls at 2 a.m. the same way we answer them at 2 p.m. No answering service, no “we’ll get back to you Monday.” When you’re watching water come through a light fixture in La Porte or Alvin, that matters more than any guarantee we could put in writing.
Flat Roof Repair
A Flat Roof Patch in Houston typically costs $500 to $1,500 depending on the membrane type, the size of the damaged area, and how long water has been ponding. Flat roofs are common on Houston homes with modern or mid-century designs, and they fail differently than pitched roofs. Standing water after a heavy rain exposes seams and penetrations, and by the time you see a stain on the interior, the insulation or decking underneath may already be saturated.
Modified Bitumen and TPO Work
We repair modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, and built-up flat roofs. Seam repairs on TPO and EPDM need hot-air welding, not adhesive, and torch-down bitumen requires careful heat control. Our technicians are trained on each membrane type and bring the right tools for the specific roof, so we’re not improvising on your dime.
Ponding Water and Drainage
Flat roofs in Houston should drain within 48 hours after rain. If water sits longer, it works into seams and accelerates membrane failure. We’ll inspect the drains and scuppers, clear any blockage, and advise whether low spots need a leveling compound to move water off the roof. That advice comes with a written price, so you decide before we do the work.
Shingle Roof Repair
Shingle Replacement in Houston runs $200 to $700 for a small section, while a broader repair involving decking replacement or underlayment runs $800 to $1,500. Most Houston shingle failures trace back to two things: heat and wind. The summer sun bakes shingles until the granules loosen and the corners curl, then the next storm’s wind gets underneath and tears them off.
Matching Existing Shingles
You shouldn’t have a visible patch on your roof for the next five years. Because we carry materials from seven manufacturers including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, we can match the existing shingle color and profile in most cases. That means the repair blends in rather than announcing itself from the street.
Underlayment and Decking Checks
Shingles are the visible layer, but they only work if the underlayment beneath them is intact. Every shingle repair starts with checking the underlying felt or synthetic barrier. If a hurricane-pulled shingle exposed the decking to moisture, we repair that layer too. Skipping it is how patch jobs fail within a year.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Storm damage roof repair in Houston covers wind, hail, and debris damage, and it’s priced on a repair-by-repair basis using the same written quote process as everything else we do. Hail from a spring storm can bruise shingles without leaving an obvious hole, and that bruise becomes a leak months later. Wind doesn’t always tear shingles off cleanly. Sometimes it loosens the seal and leaves a flap that looks fine from the ground but leaks during the next hard rain.
Hail Bruising and Granule Loss
After a hail event, we check for bruising: soft spots in the shingle mat where the impact compressed the material. Granule loss in the gutters is the other tell. A bruised shingle has lost its protective shell, and Houston’s UV exposure will finish the job the hail started, leaving bare asphalt to crack and leak.
Insurance and Documentation
We document everything with photos and notes during the inspection, which helps when you file a claim. You’ll get a written repair price and a written guarantee before we start. If your storm damage repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. No arguing, no re-inspection fee.
Metal Roof Repair
Metal roof repair in Houston generally runs $450 to $1,200 for common issues like replacing screws, resealing seams, or fixing a section of raised standing seam. Metal roofs last a long time, but they aren’t maintenance-free. Houston’s heat expands metal panels, and over years that expansion loosens fasteners and stresses the seams. Leaks on metal roofs usually start at those fasteners or at the seams, not in the middle of a panel.
Fasteners and Seam Sealing
We replace worn neoprene washers on exposed fasteners and reseal seams with the proper sealant for the metal type. On a standing seam roof, we inspect the clip system and look for oil canning that signals a panel is moving too much. The fix is usually straightforward once you find it.
Panel Replacement and Matching
When a panel is dented from a falling branch or creased by wind, we replace that panel rather than patching over it. We can order panels to match the existing profile and color so the repair doesn’t stand out. Working with metal means knowing the gauge, the coating, and the profile, and our technicians ask those questions before quoting.
Commercial Roof Repair
Commercial roof repair in Houston runs a wide range, but most flat or low-slope commercial repairs on small to mid-size buildings run $800 to $3,000 depending on the roof system and the scope of the failing area. Retail strip centers, warehouses, and office buildings in Houston share a common challenge: roofs that cover a lot of square feet and get ignored until a tenant reports a leak. By then, the membrane has often failed in multiple places.
Built-Up and TPO Commercial Systems
We work on built-up roofs, TPO, and modified bitumen systems on Houston commercial buildings. Commercial repair is about containing the damage and protecting the building’s operations while we work. We schedule around your tenants and keep the work area clean, because a repair that disrupts business isn’t a repair, it’s a new problem.
Preventative Maintenance Repairs
The smartest commercial roofing money in Houston is spent before the leak. We’ll inspect drains, seams, and flashings twice a year and catch small failures while they’re still small. Every repair comes with a written price and a written guarantee, and the Kingswell family of roofing companies has backed that guarantee since 2000.
Brands We Service
We service GAF and CertainTeed shingle systems extensively across Houston, including full repairs and partial replacements where matching matters. Both manufacturers spec their products for specific climates and slopes, and our technicians understand the installation requirements well enough to repair to spec, not just patch over the surface.
We also work with Owens Corning and Boral products regularly, along with three additional manufacturer lines. When a manufacturer has a particular fastening or sealing requirement, we follow it. Whether you have Owens Corning Duration shingles, CertainTeed Landmark, or any other make, we can repair it and back the work with our written guarantee.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling or walls. A stain means water has already made it through the roof deck and into your living space. It’s been traveling for a while by the time you see it. The entry point is usually not directly above the stain.
- Granules in the gutters or downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and Houston’s heat speeds that process. If you see piles of granules at the downspout, your shingles are losing their protective layer and may not survive the next storm.
- Curling or missing shingles. Curled edges let wind underneath, and one lifted shingle peels off its neighbors like a zipper. Missing shingles expose the underlayment, which is not designed to handle direct sun and rain for long.
- Sagging areas or a soft feel underfoot. If the roof dips between the rafters or feels spongy when you walk on it, the decking has likely absorbed water and lost its strength. Don’t ignore it. Wet decking rots, and rot spreads silently.
- Daylight coming through the attic. On a sunny day, if you can see light through the roof boards, water can get in through those same gaps. Check the attic in the morning when the angle of light is most revealing.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. When you call (254) 566-3573, a live person answers and asks about what you’re seeing. We’ll schedule a visit in a window that works for you, and we show up in that window.
- 2
Inspection and findings. A background-checked, uniformed technician climbs the roof and checks the shingles, flashing, penetrations, and decking. We photograph everything and walk you through what we found, in plain language, with the pictures to prove it.
- 3
Written price before any work. You get a line-item written quote covering materials, labor, and disposal. This is the price. It doesn’t change at the door or after we start. If we find something else mid-repair, we stop and talk to you first, with a new written price for the additional work.
- 4
The repair itself. We use the right materials for your roof system and follow manufacturer specs. The work area is protected, nails are disposed of properly with a magnetic sweep, and we leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way.
- 5
Written guarantee handed to you. Before we leave, you receive a written guarantee on the repair. If the same issue returns inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. You don’t have to chase us for it.
How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Houston?
A typical shingle roof repair in Houston runs $200 to $700 for a small section, while leak source repairs at penetrations run $350 to $900. Flat roof membrane repairs run $500 to $1,500, and metal roof fastener and seam work runs $450 to $1,200. Commercial repairs on low-slope systems typically run $800 to $3,000. Emergency tarping runs $300 to $600, which is credited toward the permanent repair in most cases.
What moves the price: the roof’s pitch and height (steeper and higher costs more in labor), the roofing material you have, the age of the roof, how many layers are already on the deck, and whether the decking itself has water damage. Access matters too. A repair on a two-story home in Aldine takes longer than the same repair on a one-story ranch in Dickinson.
How to avoid overpaying: get the written price before work starts, ask whether the quote includes decking repair if damage is found, and confirm the guarantee on the repair in writing. Our free estimate includes a written line-item price, so you know exactly what you’re approving. Call (254) 566-3573 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair in Houston
Roof repair is the process of fixing a specific damaged area on your roof, such as a leak, missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a failed seam on a flat roof. It’s different from a full roof replacement, which involves removing the old roof and installing a new one. In Houston, most repairs target storm damage, heat-related shingle failure, and leaks at penetrations like vents and pipes. We always give you a written price before any repair work begins.
Most single-issue roof repairs in Houston are completed in two to four hours, from setup to cleanup. Larger repairs involving decking replacement may take most of a day. Emergency tarping is usually done in under an hour once we’re on site. We’ll give you a clear timeline with your written quote.
Residential roof repair in Houston typically costs between $200 and $1,800 depending on the type of roof, the size of the damaged area, and whether structural components like decking need replacement. Shingle patches start around $200, leak repairs at penetrations run $350 to $900, and flat roof membrane work runs $500 to $1,500. Every quote is line-item and in writing before work starts. Call (254) 566-3573 for an exact price on your repair.
Yes, we repair all three brands plus Boral, IKO, Atlas, and Tamko systems. We’re not tied to a single manufacturer, which means we can match your existing shingles and follow the specific installation requirements for the material on your roof. That flexibility matters when you’re repairing one section rather than replacing the whole roof.
Call (254) 566-3573 and a live person will answer, day or night, weekends included. We’ll get a tarp on the damaged section to stop active water intrusion, then schedule the permanent repair. The tarp buys you time to make a good decision without water running through your ceiling.
Every repair we do in Houston comes with a written guarantee before the crew leaves, not mailed later or buried in a contract. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge to correct it under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. The guarantee is specific to the repair, and you’ll have it in writing.
You don’t need to do much. Clear access for a ladder against the roofline, move vehicles out of the driveway if possible, and let us know if anyone in the home works nights or has pets that might be startled by roof noise. We’ll handle everything else, including the cleanup with a magnetic sweep for stray nails.
