When your roof replacement is done right, you stop worrying about the next storm. No more buckets catching drips during thunderstorms. No more sky-high cooling bills because your roof can’t handle Texas heat.
You get a roof that actually works for this climate. One that keeps your family dry when those sudden downpours hit Fannett. One that reflects heat instead of absorbing it, so your air conditioner isn’t running constantly.
The difference shows up immediately. Your home stays comfortable. Your energy bills drop. And when the next hailstorm rolls through Jefferson County, you’re not holding your breath wondering if your roof will hold up.
Southern Roofing Solutions has been protecting homes in Fannett and throughout Southeast Texas for years. We understand what happens when thunderstorms bring flooding downpours and damaging wind gusts to Jefferson County.
Our team knows that roofing in this area isn’t just about installation. It’s about choosing materials that can handle the humidity, the sudden temperature swings, and the hail that comes with living 15 miles southwest of Beaumont.
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when Texas weather hits. That experience shows in every roof we install, from material selection to the final cleanup that leaves your property cleaner than we found it.
The process starts with a thorough inspection of your current roof. We check for storm damage, wear patterns, and any issues that could affect the new installation. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.
Once you approve the project, we handle permits and coordinate with your insurance if storm damage is involved. The old roof comes off carefully, with full protection for your landscaping and property. We inspect the decking and make any necessary repairs before installation begins.
Installation follows manufacturer specifications and local building codes. Each day ends with complete cleanup, so you’re not dealing with debris scattered around your property. The final inspection ensures everything meets our standards and yours before we consider the job complete.

Your roof replacement includes materials specifically chosen for this region’s challenges. Impact-resistant shingles that can handle the hail common in Jefferson County. Underlayment that provides extra protection during those heavy downpours that flood local roads.
The metal roofing options reflect heat effectively, crucial when temperatures soar and humidity makes everything feel hotter. These materials meet or exceed local building codes and come with manufacturer warranties that protect your investment.
For Fannett homeowners, this means choosing between architectural shingles with Class 4 impact resistance, metal roofing systems that can last decades, or other materials that balance durability with energy efficiency. Each option is selected based on your home’s specific needs and your budget, not what happens to be sitting in a warehouse.
Roof replacement costs in Fannett typically range from $8,000 to $20,000, depending on your roof size, material choice, and complexity. Most homeowners with standard-sized homes pay between $12,000 and $15,000 for quality architectural shingles.
The final cost depends on factors like your roof’s pitch, any additional repairs needed to decking or structure, and whether you choose basic or premium materials. Metal roofing costs more upfront but can last 50+ years, while architectural shingles offer good durability at a lower initial investment.
Getting multiple detailed estimates helps you understand exactly what’s included and compare options accurately. Make sure any estimate includes permits, disposal of old materials, and cleanup.
For Fannett’s climate, impact-resistant architectural shingles and metal roofing perform best. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can withstand the hail that frequently hits Jefferson County, while metal roofing excels in high winds and reflects heat effectively.
Both options handle the humidity and temperature swings common in Southeast Texas. Metal roofing lasts longer but costs more upfront. Architectural shingles cost less initially and still provide excellent protection when properly installed.
Avoid basic three-tab shingles in this area – they don’t hold up well to the wind and hail. Whatever material you choose, proper installation with quality underlayment and flashing is crucial for long-term performance.
Most roof replacements in Fannett take 2-4 days, depending on roof size, weather conditions, and material type. A typical single-story home with architectural shingles usually takes 2-3 days, while larger or more complex roofs may take longer.
Weather can affect the timeline since roofing work stops during rain or high winds. Metal roofing installation typically takes slightly longer than shingles due to the precision required, but the extra time results in a more durable finished product.
We provide a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed of any delays. Most of the work happens during daylight hours, with complete cleanup each evening so your property remains safe and accessible.
Texas homeowners insurance often covers roof replacement when damage results from covered events like hail, wind, or falling trees. The key is documenting damage properly and working with your insurance company promptly after a storm.
An experienced roofing contractor can help identify storm damage that might not be obvious to untrained eyes. We can work directly with insurance adjusters and provide detailed documentation to support your claim.
Keep in mind that insurance typically covers sudden damage, not wear and tear from aging. If your roof is older and shows signs of normal wear, you may need to pay for replacement yourself. Always review your policy details and deductible amounts before filing a claim.
Look for contractors with proper licensing, insurance, and local references. In Texas, roofing contractors should carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Ask to see current certificates and verify them directly with the insurance companies.
Check their local reputation through online reviews, Better Business Bureau ratings, and references from recent customers in the Fannett area. A good contractor will gladly provide references and show examples of their recent work.
Get detailed written estimates from at least three contractors, comparing not just price but materials quality, warranty terms, and what’s included. Be wary of door-to-door solicitors or contractors who demand full payment upfront – legitimate contractors typically require only a small deposit to begin work.
New roofs in Southeast Texas need regular inspections, especially after severe weather events. Check for loose or damaged shingles, clogged gutters, and any signs of water damage in your attic after storms.
Clean gutters regularly since the frequent rains in this area can cause debris buildup that leads to water backing up under roofing materials. Trim tree branches that hang over your roof to prevent damage during high winds.
Schedule professional inspections annually or after major storms. Many roofing contractors offer maintenance programs that include regular inspections and minor repairs, helping catch small problems before they become expensive replacements. Proper maintenance can extend your roof’s life significantly in this challenging climate.
