When your roof replacement is done right, you’re not just getting new shingles—you’re getting peace of mind. No more worrying about the next hailstorm or wondering if that small leak will turn into a ceiling disaster.
Your home stays dry during those heavy East Texas downpours. Your energy bills drop because your roof actually reflects heat instead of absorbing it. And when the next storm rolls through, you sleep soundly knowing your roof can handle whatever nature throws at it.
The difference shows up in your daily life—lower cooling costs, no water stains on the ceiling, and a home that looks great from the street. That’s what happens when you invest in quality materials designed specifically for our Texas climate.
At Southern Roofing Solutions, we understand what roofs face in Browndell and throughout East Texas. We’ve seen the damage that comes from our area’s unique combination of intense heat, heavy rainfall, and frequent hailstorms.
We’ve been serving Southeast Texas homeowners who need more than just basic roofing services. We know that in our part of the state, your roof isn’t just covering your house—it’s your first line of defense against some of the most challenging weather conditions in the country.
That’s why we focus on materials and installation methods that actually work in this climate. When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who understand the difference between a roof that looks good and one that performs when it matters most.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current roof, looking for damage that might not be visible from the ground. This includes checking for hail damage, worn shingles, and potential weak spots that could cause problems later.
Next, we walk you through your material options, explaining which roofing systems work best for East Texas conditions. We’ll discuss impact-resistant shingles, metal roofing, and energy-efficient options that can help reduce your cooling costs during our brutal summers.
Once we begin installation, we handle everything from removing your old roof to complete cleanup. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and we make sure your property is left cleaner than we found it. You’ll know exactly what to expect at each step, and we’ll keep you informed throughout the entire process.

Your roof replacement includes materials specifically chosen for East Texas weather patterns. We use impact-resistant shingles that can withstand the hail that hits our area regularly—because in East Texas, it’s not a matter of if you’ll get hail, but when.
Our metal roofing options reflect heat to keep your home cooler during those 100-degree summer days. Energy-efficient materials can significantly reduce your cooling costs, which matters when you’re running air conditioning for months at a time.
We also handle the insurance side of things. If storm damage brought you to us in the first place, we’ll work with your insurance adjuster to make sure you get the coverage you deserve. Many of our customers are surprised to learn that their insurance covers more than they initially thought, especially when dealing with hail damage that might not be obvious from ground level.
Hail damage isn’t always obvious from the ground, which is why professional inspection is crucial. Even small hailstones can wear down protective granules on shingles, leaving your roof vulnerable to UV damage and leaks that develop over time.
Look for dents in your gutters, downspouts, or any metal components around your roof—these are often the first visible signs. You might also find granules from damaged shingles collecting in your gutters after storms. However, the most reliable way to assess hail damage is through a professional inspection.
We use specialized techniques to identify damage that homeowners typically miss, including checking for bruising on shingles and testing the integrity of roofing materials. In East Texas, where we see frequent hailstorms, this type of damage assessment can mean the difference between a small repair and a major replacement project later.
East Texas presents unique challenges—intense heat, heavy rainfall, high humidity, and frequent hailstorms. The best materials for our climate combine durability, energy efficiency, and storm resistance.
Impact-resistant shingles rated Class 4 can withstand hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter, which covers most of the hail we see in this area. Metal roofing is another excellent choice because it reflects heat, resists wind damage, and typically lasts 50+ years with proper installation.
For energy efficiency, we recommend materials with reflective properties that help reduce cooling costs during our long, hot summers. Cool roof technology can significantly lower your energy bills, which is especially important when you’re running air conditioning from May through September. The key is choosing materials that address all of East Texas weather patterns, not just one or two challenges.
Most residential roof replacements in Browndell take 1-3 days, depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and the complexity of your roof design. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Day one typically involves removing your old roofing materials and preparing the roof deck. Day two focuses on installing new materials, flashing, and ventilation systems. If weather cooperates and there are no unexpected structural issues, many projects are completed within this timeframe.
We always provide a realistic timeline during your initial consultation and keep you informed if anything changes. Weather can affect our schedule—we won’t install roofing materials in unsafe conditions—but we’ll communicate any delays immediately. Our goal is to get your home protected as quickly as possible while maintaining the quality standards that ensure your new roof performs properly for decades.
Most Texas homeowners insurance policies cover hail and wind damage, but the claims process can be complex. The key is documenting damage properly and understanding what your policy actually covers.
We work directly with insurance adjusters to ensure they see all the damage, including issues that aren’t immediately obvious. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their policies cover more than they initially thought, especially when professional inspection reveals the full extent of storm damage.
In Texas, you typically have one year from the date of damage to file a claim, but it’s better to start the process as soon as possible. We help guide you through the entire claims process, from initial documentation to final approval. Our experience with insurance companies means we know how to present damage assessments in ways that support your claim and help you get the coverage you deserve.
Roof replacement costs in East Texas vary based on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and the complexity of your roof design. Most homeowners invest between $12,000-$25,000 for a complete replacement, though this can vary significantly.
The size of your roof is the biggest cost factor, followed by material choice. Impact-resistant shingles cost more upfront but can qualify you for insurance discounts and provide better long-term value. Metal roofing has higher initial costs but can last 50+ years and reduce energy bills substantially.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Many of our customers are surprised to learn that insurance covers more of their replacement costs than expected, especially when dealing with storm damage. We’ll help you understand both your out-of-pocket costs and potential insurance coverage before any work begins.
The optimal windows for roof replacement in Texas are fall (October-November) and early spring (March-April) when temperatures are moderate and severe weather is less likely. These periods offer the best working conditions and reduce the risk of weather delays.
Summer installations are challenging due to extreme heat, which can affect both worker safety and material performance. Spring can bring unpredictable storms and hail season, while winter occasionally brings ice and freezing conditions that make installation difficult.
However, storm damage doesn’t wait for ideal weather, and we’re equipped to handle emergency replacements year-round. If your roof is damaged and needs immediate attention, we’ll work with you to minimize weather-related risks and get your home protected quickly. The most important thing is addressing damage before it leads to interior water damage or structural issues.
