Houston Roofing Contractor for Homes and Businesses

Houston is the largest city in Texas, with 2,304,580 residents in the 2020 census, and its roofs are as varied as its neighborhoods. A Craftsman bungalow in the Heights, a 1950s ranch in Meyerland, a new two-story off Beltway 8 and a flat-roofed warehouse near Hobby Airport each need a different approach.

Stone Castle Roofing serves Houston from our office in Pearland, just south of the city. We handle residential and commercial roofs across the metro, with the permits, paperwork and storm claim experience a city this size demands.

Roofing services in Houston

• Roof replacement: We replace Houston roofs of every age, from original roofs on postwar homes to aging roofs on 2000s subdivisions, and we pull the City of Houston permit.
• Roof repair: Houston's older inner-loop homes often have tricky valleys, dormers and chimneys, and those are where most leaks we repair begin.
• Roof inspections: A free inspection gives Houston buyers and owners a photo record of the roof before a sale, a claim, or a hurricane season.
• Storm damage restoration: After the derecho and Beryl in 2024, many Houston homeowners learned how much documentation a claim takes, and we help build that record.
• Metal roofing: Standing seam metal suits modern Houston infill homes and owners who want a roof built for wind and heat.
• Shingle roofing: Architectural and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are the most common choice we install on Houston homes.
• Seamless gutters: On a flat city lot, undersized gutters dump water straight at the slab, so we size seamless gutters for Houston downpours and route them away from the foundation and landscaping.
• Commercial roofing: TPO, modified bitumen and metal, repaired and replaced on Houston retail, office and industrial buildings.

What Houston weather does to roofs

Houston has seen three major roof events in less than a decade. Each one tested roofs in a different way.

Between those headline storms, Houston roofs take steady punishment: high summer heat and UV, heavy tropical downpours, spring hail, and humid attics that age shingles from below. With hurricane season running June 1 to November 30, the time to fix a weak spot is before it starts.

Permits, HOAs and windstorm rules in Houston

City of Houston permits. The City of Houston requires a residential roofing permit for a reroof or roofing overlay. The process includes plan review and an inspection, and the permit stays on site until final approval. Commercial reroofs need a separate commercial roofing permit, and larger projects can require review by other city departments. We handle the application and schedule the inspection.

Separate cities inside the map. Bellaire is its own city surrounded by Houston, so it has its own permit office. We confirm which jurisdiction your address falls under before we quote.

Historic districts. The Heights has historic districts with design guidelines, and changes to properties there must suit the area's historic character. Check with the city before changing roof material on a home in a historic district.

Windstorm rules east of Highway 146. Most of Harris County is outside the TWIA catastrophe area. The exception is property east of State Highway 146 inside the city limits of La Porte, Morgan's Point, Pasadena, Seabrook and Shore Acres. Roof work there generally must meet the windstorm code and pass an inspection for a WPI-8 certificate from the Texas Department of Insurance. We install to that code and coordinate the inspection when required.

HOAs and deed restrictions. Houston has no formal zoning, so many neighborhoods rely on deed restrictions and HOAs to control exterior changes. If yours wants to see the roof before it goes on, we put the specs and color samples together for the request.

Neighborhoods we serve

We work throughout the city, with most of our Houston jobs south of downtown, closest to our Pearland office.

• Inner loop and near town: Greater Heights, Montrose and the Medical Center area. Heights homes include Victorians and Craftsman bungalows dating back to the neighborhood's 1891 founding.
• Southwest: Meyerland, Braeswood and Westbury. Meyerland was built out on former rice fields starting in 1955, and many original homes have since been remodeled or replaced.
• South and southeast: Sunnyside, South Acres/Crestmont Park, the Greater Hobby Area, Golfcrest/Bellfort/Reveille, Edgebrook, South Belt/Ellington and Clear Lake.
• Next door: Bellaire, where much of the original housing came from the postwar building boom and many older homes have been rebuilt.
