Roof replacement, storm repair and siding for Hitchcock homes along Highway 6, between Texas City and Santa Fe.
If you are looking for roofing in Hitchcock, we come down from our north Houston office to inspect the roof for free and tell you what it needs. The drive is a little over an hour, mostly I-45 south and then Highway 6, so we set a time with you and travel out for the inspection and the job.
Hitchcock sits on the Galveston County mainland, a short way inland from West Bay, with Texas City to the east and Santa Fe up the highway to the northwest. It is low, flat ground, and Highland Bayou winds through it on the way to the bay. That keeps the town close enough to the coast to catch Gulf storms at full strength while feeling more like the country than the suburbs.
Much of Hitchcock is single-story homes on roomy lots, some on quiet streets in town and some out past the pastures off the main roads. Wide, low roofs like these do not have the tall slopes of a two-story subdivision house, but they catch a lot of rain and wind across a big surface.
A long ranch-style roof that has been through years of Gulf sun can start curling and shedding granules across the whole surface at once. When that happens we tear it off, repair the decking where it has softened, and install a new roof, then the crew clears the yard before leaving.
With open ground around many Hitchcock homes, wind from a tropical system has nothing to break it before it reaches the roof. After a storm we check the ridge, the edges and the field of shingles and show you what we found.
A ceiling stain after a heavy rain does not always mean a new roof. A failed pipe boot, a lifted shingle or worn flashing around a chimney can be repaired on its own, and we will tell you plainly whether a repair is enough.
Humid air off the bay and long, wet summers are hard on siding, especially low on the wall where sprinklers and splashback reach it. We replace siding that has swollen, rotted or come loose, and we can schedule it alongside the roof.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Hitchcock is close enough to West Bay that a hurricane coming ashore near Galveston reaches it with little of its wind lost. When Hurricane Ike struck in 2008, it pushed water and wind across the whole Galveston County mainland, Hitchcock included. Roofs that came through it, or were replaced after it, have now carried more than fifteen years of coastal weather.
Big storms are only part of it. Summer thunderstorms build quickly over the bay and drop heavy rain in an hour, and in 2017 Hurricane Harvey flooded parts of Galveston County with days of it. Rain like that finds every weak spot in a roof, so small problems tend to show up as leaks here sooner than they would farther inland.
A single-story home spreads the roof out over the whole footprint of the house. That means more shingles, longer eaves and more gutter run than a two-story house with the same living space. It also means more attic space for heat and moisture to build up if the vents are blocked or too few.
Older homes in town and newer ones on acreage both show up on our inspections, and they wear differently. An older roof may have more than one layer of shingles that all need to come off, while a newer one may only need a few repairs. A free inspection tells you which one you have.
If the damage looks like it came from a storm, we inspect the roof, show it to you and explain how the claim process works. Whether to file is your call, and the claim is between you and your insurance company. We can meet your adjuster at the house, and if your insurer approves the scope, we do the work to that scope.
Our storm damage roofing page explains what we look for after high wind and hail. Our estimates are free and spell out the work so you know what you are paying for.
We work in Hitchcock. Our office is in north Houston, a little over an hour away, and we travel down for free inspections and for the roofing work itself.
The cost depends on the size of the roof, its pitch, how many old layers have to come off and how much decking needs replacing. Single-story homes often have more roof area than people expect, which affects the materials needed. Our inspection and estimate are free, and the estimate spells out the work line by line.
A roofer who goes up, finds where the water is getting in and tells you whether a repair will do. Many leaks start at a pipe boot, a vent or a piece of flashing, not the whole roof. We inspect for free and show you the source before recommending anything.
Look for one who inspects the roof in person, shows you the damage, and puts the full scope of work in a written estimate. Be wary of anyone who pushes you to sign on the spot or will not explain how an insurance claim works. You should also know how the crew will leave your yard when the job is done.
No. Some storms only loosen a few shingles or damage flashing, and a repair takes care of it. Other times the damage is spread across the roof and replacement makes more sense. A free inspection after the storm tells you which it is.
We inspect the roof, show you the damage and explain how the claim process works. You decide whether to file, and the claim is between you and your insurance company. We can meet your adjuster at the house, and if your insurer approves the scope, we do the work to that scope.

Jhon (this is how he spells his name) and Britt were great to work with during our roof replacement, they stayed involved during the back and forth with the insurance company to make sure we were treated fairly. The roof was installed with high quality materials by qualified installers. Jhon, Britt or Marlon was always available when needed. The roof job went so well we allowed them to perform a bathroom remodel job for us. I would recommend Roofshire Construction for all of your roofing or remodeling jobs.
Love my new roof, very polite and well mannered crew they cleaned up nicely. I got my roof replaced all through my insurance company when they showed up, I didn't even know their was damage my roof wasn't that old, but I had so much damage and they replaced it with a brand new roof.
Wonderful to work with. They worked with the insurance company and the HOA. We have solar panels and they have a great team that handled lifting and reinstalling the panels so that the roofing team could repair and shingle the roof. The work done is top quality. They whole team, yes that includes sales and every one, communicated with us every step of the way. It was great to see the pride in workmanship as well.
