Houston homes in Montrose and the Heights often see asphalt shingles fail after ten years because the subtropical climate with hot humid summers and mild winters bakes the granules off. We use GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with a 130 mph wind rating on these roofs. Cheap crews skip the starter strip along the eaves and that lets wind-driven rain push water under the first course during summer storms.
Harris County requires a permit for any roof work that exceeds 25 percent of the surface. We pull those permits the same morning we start so the job does not get stopped. Many fly-by-night outfits skip this step and leave the homeowner holding a stop-work order. We also check the decking for rot caused by years of trapped moisture under old felt paper.
Space Center Houston and Minute Maid Park sit in the same humid air that rots flashing around skylights and chimneys on Midtown homes. We replace those flashings with 26-gauge galvanized steel instead of the thin aluminum most crews use. That single upgrade stops leaks that show up again every spring.
Downtown and River Oaks houses with low-slope sections need modified bitumen torch-down instead of standard shingles. We heat-weld the seams on site so they hold through the heavy rains that hit Harris County each fall. Skip the proper overlap and water finds the seam within two seasons.
