Roofshire Construction does roofing in South Houston for homeowners who want one company to handle the inspection, the estimate and the work. South Houston is its own small city in Harris County, about 16,000 people on a few square miles, and Houston and Pasadena wrap around it on every side.
Most of the streets here are lined with single-story houses on modest lots, many of them decades old, with a low-slope ranch roof and an attic that gets very hot in summer. Older roofs like these tend to fail at the edges and around vents first, long before the field of shingles looks worn out from the street.
From our office on West Greens Road it is roughly a half-hour drive down I-45, and we make that trip for inspections and jobs. The roof inspection is free, and so is the estimate, which spells out what we would do and why. Call (832) 995-0575 to set a time.
On a single-story house that has been reroofed once or never, leaks usually start at a cracked pipe boot, a rusted vent flashing or a worn valley. We find the source, fix it, and tell you honestly whether the rest of the roof has much life left.
When patching no longer makes sense, we tear the old layers off down to the deck, replace any soft decking we find and install the new roof. The crew cleans up the yard and driveway before leaving.
South Houston is close enough to Galveston Bay that tropical storms and summer squalls arrive here with plenty of wind left in them. After a storm we check for missing tabs, lifted shingles and damaged flashing, and show you what we find.
If you are buying a house here, selling one or just wondering about a stain on the ceiling, an inspection tells you where the roof stands. It costs you nothing and comes with a plain explanation of what we saw.
South Houston is low and flat, and the bayous that drain this side of Harris County fill fast in a hard Gulf downpour. That same rain hammers roofs that have already been through decades of sun, and a ranch roof with a shallow pitch drains slower than a steep one. Water that sits at a worn edge or a tired valley finds its way into the attic.
Humidity does its own slow damage. Dark streaks of algae, curled shingle edges and brittle sealant around vents are all common on older roofs in this part of the county, and each one is worth a look before the next storm season.
Close to Hobby Airport and the Gulf Freeway
The city sits just south of William P. Hobby Airport, with the Gulf Freeway on its west side and Beltway 8 along the south. That makes it easy for our trucks to reach, and it means many homes here sit near busy roads where wind-blown debris is part of every storm.
Siding takes a beating on these houses too, especially on older homes where the original wood or panel siding has been painted many times. If yours is cracked or soft, we can look at siding replacement during the same visit as the roof.
Insurance and Paying for the Work
If a storm damaged your roof, we inspect it, show you the damage and explain how a claim works. You decide whether to file, and the claim stays 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.
Whether or not insurance is involved, the free estimate lays out the job line by line. Call (832) 995-0575 or see insurance claim roofing for more on how claims go.
Why South Houston Homeowners Call Roofshire
An honest read on an old roof. If a repair will buy you years, we say so. If the roof is past saving, we show you why.
Storm checks you can see. You see what we see on the roof, so you are not taking anyone at their word.
Leaks traced to the source. A stain on the ceiling is rarely right below the hole. We follow the water back to where it gets in.
Hablamos español. If you would rather go over the estimate in Spanish, just say so when you call.
Yes. We work on houses all over South Houston, from the streets near Hobby Airport down toward Beltway 8. Our office is in north Houston, about half an hour away up I-45, and we drive down for inspections and jobs.
Who is the best person to fix a leaking roof?
Someone who will find where the water actually gets in, which is often not right above the stain. On older South Houston homes that is usually a pipe boot, a vent flashing or a valley. We inspect for free and show you the source before we quote a repair.
How much does it cost to replace a whole roof in South Houston?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many old layers have to come off, how much decking is soft underneath and the material you choose. A free inspection lets us measure the roof and see those things. The free estimate then spells out the work so you can compare it fairly.
How can you tell a good roofer?
A good roofer gets on the roof, shows you what they found and puts the scope of work in writing. They should explain your choices without pushing you toward a claim or a bigger job than you need. Ask to see photos from your own roof before you sign anything.
Is it better to repair my older roof or replace it?
If the leak is in one spot and the shingles still lie flat and hold their granules, a repair can make sense. If the shingles are brittle, curling or patched in several places, repairs tend to keep coming. We look at the whole roof and give you an honest answer either way.
Can you help if a storm damaged my roof?
Yes. 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.

Josefina Mares
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.
