Roof Installation

Roof Installation is the complete replacement of your home’s roofing system, from the decking inspection all the way up to the ridge cap, and it’s the fix for a roof that has reached the end of its service life or taken structural damage from a Houston storm. Tilehurst Roofing Houston installs full systems with all seven of our manufacturer lines available, including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. In Houston, a new asphalt shingle roof installation on an average suburban home runs $11,000 to $19,000, with the final number driven by square footage, roof pitch, and material grade.

Complete Tear-Off Versus Layover

Houston’s building code allows a second layer of shingles over one existing layer, but we rarely recommend it. A layover hides decking rot and shortens the new roof’s life by trapping heat against the old layer. A full tear-off lets our crew inspect every sheet of decking for water damage before the new underlayment goes down.

Houston Wind and Hail Considerations

We install roof systems rated for the wind and hail patterns common in Houston’s spring and summer storm seasons. That means reinforced nailing patterns, starter strips along every eave, and shingle grades that carry impact-resistance ratings suited to this climate. You get the written manufacturer warranty plus our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before the first nail is driven.

Roof Replacement Contractor

A Roof Replacement Contractor is the company that handles your entire roof project: the estimate, the permit, the material order, the tear-off, the install, the inspection, and the clean-up. Tilehurst Roofing Houston is that contractor for homeowners across Houston, and we operate under the Kingswell Guarantee: the price we quote is the price on your contract, and if anything isn’t done right, we make it right for a full year after the job. A full replacement in Houston costs between $11,000 and $19,000 for most asphalt shingle roofs, depending on how much Roof Replacement costs for your specific home, with premium materials like Boral or CertainTeed architectural lines running higher.

Why Homeowners Switch to Us

Most of our Houston customers come to us after another contractor no-showed or changed the price at the door. Greg Holloway runs this location with one simple rule: every job gets a written price before any work starts, and every price stands. Your contract is not an estimate, it’s the number you pay.

One Contractor, One Point of Contact

You won’t get passed between a salesperson who promised one thing and a crew that was told another. One project lead walks your roof, writes your quote, and stays on the job until the final inspection passes. Background-checked, uniformed technicians are the only people who step onto your property.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement means removing your old shingles and installing a new shingle roof, and it’s the most common roof service in Houston because asphalt shingles remain the best balance of cost, durability, and appearance for Texas’ hot, humid climate. Tilehurst Roofing Houston installs asphalt shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, and Tamko, with material and labor costs for a full replacement ranging from $11,000 to $19,000 depending on roof size and shingle grade. A typical 2,000 square foot home in the Cypress or Katy area lands around $13,000 to $16,000 for an architectural shingle.

Architectural Versus Three-Tab

Three-tab shingles are the flat, single-layer product you see on older Houston homes, and they cost less upfront but rarely last past 15 years in this heat. Architectural shingles are thicker, dimensional, and rated for 25 to 30 years, which is why we quote them as the standard for most Houston roofs. The upgrade is usually $2,000 to $4,000 on an average home.

What Goes Under the Shingles

The shingles are what you see, but the system is what keeps water out. We replace drip edge along every eave and rake, install new synthetic underlayment over the entire deck, and replace flashing at every pipe, chimney, and wall junction. Skipping any one of those is how a “new roof” leaks in the first year.

New Roof Installation

New Roof Installation is the service you need when construction is happening, not just repair: a home addition, a new build, or a roof so far gone that the decking itself has started to fail from years of Houston humidity and storms. Tilehurst Roofing Houston handles new roof installations on both existing homes and new construction, with pricing tied to roof size, pitch, and material. Asphalt shingle new roof installation on a typical Houston home runs $11,000 to $19,000, while flat roof installations on modern builds run $9,000 to $16,000 for a standard TPO or modified bitumen system.

Decking Replacement and Preparation

Before any new roof goes down, we inspect and replace any decking sheets that show water staining, rot, or warping. Houston’s humidity eats OSB from the inside out, and you can’t see it from the ground. Replacing a few sheets costs $65 to $90 per sheet, and we show you the damage with photos before we add anything to the invoice.

Ventilation Built In From Day One

A roof that can’t breathe is a roof that cooks itself from the attic side. We calculate intake and exhaust ventilation based on your attic square footage and install ridge vents, soffit vents, or powered options so your shingles don’t curl prematurely. This is standard on every new installation, not an add-on.

Reroofing

Reroofing is the process of putting a new roof on an existing home, and it’s what most Houston homeowners actually mean when they say “roof replacement.” The difference from a layover is that reroofing done right includes a full tear-off, a deck inspection, and a completely new roofing system from the deck up. Tilehurst Roofing Houston reroofs Houston homes for $11,000 to $19,000 on typical asphalt shingle projects, and we include debris removal, haul-away, and property protection in that number.

When Reroofing Beats Repairing

If your roof is past 18 years old in Houston’s climate, patch repairs are money moved from one problem to the next. We’ll tell you straight when a repair makes sense and when you’re better off replacing the whole system now instead of chasing leaks every storm season. You get that assessment in writing, at no cost.

One or Two Layers

If there’s already one layer of shingles on your roof, we can legally install a second in many cases. We don’t recommend it, and we’ll show you why: the old layer traps heat against your deck, hides damage underneath, and cuts the new roof’s life by five to seven years. A full tear-off adds roughly $1,500 to $2,500 to the job cost, and it’s worth every dollar.

Flat Roof Replacement

Flat Roof Replacement is a different animal from shingle work: it requires a membrane system, usually TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen, installed on a low-slope or flat deck common on Houston townhomes, mid-century ranches, and commercial-residential properties. Tilehurst Roofing Houston replaces flat roofs across Houston for $9,000 to $16,000 on typical single-family or duplex applications, with the final price driven by deck condition, insulation needs, and membrane choice. TPO is the most common choice for Houston because its white surface reflects heat and holds up to ponding water.

TPO Versus Modified Bitumen

TPO offers the best energy performance and the longest warranty of the standard flat roof membranes, and we install it with heat-welded seams, not glued ones. Modified bitumen costs a bit less upfront and performs well on older Houston homes with low-slope sections. We quote both and show you the real price difference in writing.

Drainage and Ponding Water

Houston’s rainy months expose flat roof drainage problems fast. We inspect your existing drains, scuppers, and slope before quoting, and we correct low spots that hold standing water. A roof that holds water for more than 48 hours will fail years early, and that’s not a warranty conversation you want to have.

Brands We Service

We install and service roofs from seven leading manufacturers so the product fits your home, not what happens to be on the truck. GAF systems are our most requested line in Houston, and we’re a certified installer with access to their full architectural and designer shingle lines. Their Timberline series handles Houston’s wind and heat patterns extremely well, and we can register the extended manufacturer warranty on your behalf.

CertainTeed and Owens Corning both offer premium architectural lines with strong hail-impact options, and we stock their standard color palettes for Houston homes. If you have Boral tiles on an older Houston build, we handle tile replacement and full tile-to-tile reroofs as well. Whether you have Boral, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, or any other make, we can help you choose the right material for your house and your budget.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Granules in the gutter. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and a steady stream of them in your gutters means the protective layer is almost gone. In Houston’s sun, a granule-shedding roof is one bad storm from leaks.
• Curling or lifting shingles. Heat and humidity curl shingles at the edges, which lets wind get underneath. Once shingles start lifting, they tear off in the storms we get every spring, and then the underlayment is exposed.
• Daylight in the attic. Go into your attic in the daytime and turn off the light. If you can see sunlight through the roof boards, water can get through, too. Decking gaps and failed seals don’t fix themselves.
• Stains on the ceiling. A brown or yellow stain on your ceiling means water has already gotten through the roof, soaked the insulation, and reached your drywall. The roof leak is bigger than the stain by the time you can see it.
• Roof age over 18 years. Most Houston asphalt roofs last 18 to 22 years. If your roof is in that window and you’re scheduling repairs every year, a replacement costs less than the repair cycle you’re already paying for.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (254) 566-3573 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail, no callback queue. We schedule a roof inspection at a time that works for you, including evenings and weekends.
2. 2
   Free roof inspection and written quote. Greg Holloway or one of our senior project leads walks your roof and documents everything with photos: shingle condition, flashing, drip edge, decking, ventilation. You get a written line-item quote before we leave, and that number does not change unless you change the scope.
3. 3
   Material selection and scheduling. We walk you through options from all seven manufacturers and order exactly what your quote specifies. Your contract shows the shingle brand, color, underlayment type, and every line item in plain language, not roofing gibberish.
4. 4
   Installation day. Our background-checked, uniformed crew arrives in the window we gave you. We protect your landscaping, strip the old roof, inspect and replace any bad decking, and install the full system: drip edge, underlayment, shingles, flashing, ridge cap. The job site is cleaned up the same day we finish.
5. 5
   Final walkthrough and written guarantee. Before we leave, you get a written guarantee delivered to your hands, not mailed later. Then the 365-Day Done Right Promise takes effect: if anything isn’t right, we come back and fix it at no charge for a full year.
