Southern Roofing Solutions has been protecting homes in Livingston and throughout Polk County for years. We understand what Lake Livingston’s humidity does to roofing materials and how those sudden East Texas storms test every shingle.

Every roof replacement includes materials specifically chosen for Livingston’s climate challenges. We use impact-resistant shingles that meet Texas hail requirements, proper underlayment for our humidity levels, and ventilation systems designed for our hot summers.
Your project comes with comprehensive warranties—both manufacturer coverage on materials and our workmanship guarantee. Most of our material warranties run 30-50 years, giving you decades of protection and peace of mind.
We handle all permits and inspections required by Polk County, ensuring your roof meets current building codes. This protects your investment and prevents issues when you sell your home. Plus, many of our roofing systems qualify for insurance discounts, potentially saving you 5-35% on premiums in hail-prone areas like Livingston.
Most Livingston homeowners spend between $6,000 and $20,000 for a complete roof replacement, depending on roof size and material choice. A typical 2,000 square foot home with architectural shingles runs around $12,000-15,000.
The final cost depends on several factors: your roof’s size and complexity, the materials you choose, and any additional repairs needed to the decking or structure underneath. Steeper roofs or homes with multiple peaks and valleys cost more due to the additional labor and materials required.
We provide detailed, upfront estimates with no hidden fees. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their insurance may cover storm damage replacement, and we help you navigate that process to maximize your coverage.
For Livingston’s climate, we typically recommend impact-resistant architectural shingles or metal roofing systems. Both handle our frequent hail storms and temperature extremes better than standard materials.
Impact-resistant shingles meet Texas building codes for hail-prone areas and often qualify for insurance discounts. They’re designed to resist granule loss and cracking from hail impacts while providing excellent wind resistance for our storms. Metal roofing offers even greater durability, lasting 40+ years with minimal maintenance and superior energy efficiency during our hot summers.
The key is choosing materials rated for our specific conditions—high heat, humidity, hail, and strong winds. We’ll evaluate your home’s exposure and help you select the option that provides the best long-term value for your situation and budget.
Most roof replacements in Livingston take 1-3 days from start to finish. A typical single-story home can often be completed in one day, while larger or more complex roofs may take up to three days.
Weather can affect timing—we don’t install roofing materials in rain or during severe weather warnings. East Texas storms sometimes cause brief delays, but we schedule projects with weather patterns in mind and keep you informed of any adjustments needed.
The process includes removing your old roof, inspecting and repairing the decking if needed, installing new underlayment and materials, and complete cleanup. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards, and most homeowners are surprised how quickly their new roof takes shape.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and help homeowners navigate the claims process for storm damage. Livingston sees frequent hail and wind damage, and many homeowners don’t realize their roof damage is covered.
We start with a thorough inspection to document all storm damage, then help you file your claim with detailed photos and reports. Our experience with local adjusters and understanding of Texas insurance requirements helps ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to.
The process typically involves an initial inspection, filing the claim, meeting with your adjuster, and then proceeding with the approved work. We handle the paperwork and coordinate directly with your insurance company, making the process as smooth as possible during what’s already a stressful time.
Every roof replacement includes both manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 30-50 years) and our workmanship warranty covering the installation. The specific warranty terms depend on the materials chosen, but most architectural shingles come with 30-year coverage, while premium materials offer 50+ year protection.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues and ensures the roof performs as expected. This includes proper ventilation, flashing installation, and adherence to manufacturer specifications. We stand behind our work because we live and work in this community.
Material warranties cover defects and premature failure, while workmanship warranties address installation issues. Both are important for long-term protection, and we explain exactly what’s covered before starting your project so there are no surprises later.
Absolutely. Energy-efficient roofing is especially important in Livingston’s climate where cooling costs can be significant. We offer reflective shingles and metal systems that reduce heat absorption, helping lower your energy bills during our long, hot summers.
Reflective roofing materials bounce solar heat away from your home instead of absorbing it. This can reduce attic temperatures by 20-30 degrees, meaning your air conditioning doesn’t work as hard. Metal roofing is particularly effective, reflecting up to 70% of solar heat while providing excellent durability.
Proper ventilation is equally important in our humid climate. We ensure adequate intake and exhaust ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and heat accumulation. The combination of energy-efficient materials and proper ventilation creates a roofing system that performs well in East Texas conditions while saving money on utility bills year-round.
