Your roof isn’t just covering your house—it’s protecting everything that matters to you. When Texas weather hits with 100-degree heat waves, sudden hailstorms, or those heavy rains that seem to come out of nowhere, you need a roof that actually works.
A proper roof replacement means no more wondering if that next storm will finally be the one that causes problems. No more checking the attic after every heavy rain. No more worrying about what your cooling bills will look like when summer temperatures soar.
You get peace of mind knowing your family and belongings are protected, plus the energy efficiency that keeps your home comfortable without breaking the budget. That’s what happens when your roof is installed right the first time by people who understand what Tyler County weather can do.
We’ve been protecting homes across Southeast Texas, including right here in Hillister and throughout Tyler County. We’ve seen what happens when roofs aren’t built to handle our unique climate challenges.
The thing about this area is that your roof has to handle everything—scorching summer heat that can literally cook inferior materials, hailstorms that come with little warning, and those sudden temperature swings that stress roofing systems beyond their limits. We’ve been through all of it with our neighbors.
That’s why we focus on quality materials and proper installation techniques that actually work in East Texas conditions. When we finish your project, you’ll have a roof that’s built to last, not just look good for the first few years.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current roof, checking not just the obvious problem areas but also looking for the kind of damage that might not show up until the next big storm. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we find and honest recommendations about what needs to be done.
Once we agree on the scope of work, we handle all the details—material ordering, permit requirements, and scheduling around weather conditions. Our installation team arrives prepared and works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
During installation, we protect your property and keep the work area clean. We’re not done until everything is cleaned up, your new roof is properly inspected, and you’re completely satisfied with the results. The whole process typically takes just a few days, depending on your roof size and complexity.

Not every roofing material works well in Tyler County’s climate. We use materials specifically chosen for their ability to handle extreme heat, sudden temperature changes, and the kind of severe weather that’s become increasingly common in East Texas.
For most homes in Hillister, we recommend high-quality asphalt shingles that are rated for impact resistance and designed to reflect heat rather than absorb it. These shingles help keep your cooling costs manageable during those brutal summer months while standing up to hail damage better than standard materials.
Metal roofing is another excellent option for our area, especially if you’re looking for maximum durability and energy efficiency. Metal roofs excel in high heat, shed water quickly during heavy rains, and typically last decades longer than traditional materials. We’ll help you choose the right material based on your home’s specific needs, your budget, and your long-term goals.
Roof replacement costs in Tyler County typically range from $8,000 to $18,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. The exact cost depends on several factors including your roof’s square footage, the materials you choose, and any additional work needed like deck repair or improved ventilation.
Asphalt shingle replacements generally cost less upfront, while metal roofing costs more initially but often saves money over time through energy efficiency and longevity. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Keep in mind that investing in quality materials and proper installation often costs less in the long run than choosing the cheapest option, especially in our climate where inferior work typically fails within a few years.
For Tyler County’s climate, impact-resistant asphalt shingles and metal roofing perform best. Impact-resistant shingles are specifically designed to handle the hailstorms common in our area, while their reflective properties help manage the intense summer heat that can reach well over 100 degrees.
Metal roofing is excellent for energy efficiency and durability in extreme heat. It reflects sunlight effectively, which can significantly reduce cooling costs, and it sheds water quickly during the heavy rains we often experience. Metal roofs also handle temperature fluctuations better than many other materials.
The key is choosing materials with proper ratings for impact resistance and heat reflection, then ensuring they’re installed with adequate ventilation and proper underlayment to handle our specific weather patterns.
Most roof replacements in Hillister take 2-4 days for a typical residential home, depending on size, weather conditions, and material type. We schedule work during favorable weather windows and can often complete standard asphalt shingle replacements in 2-3 days.
Metal roof installations may take slightly longer due to the precision required, but the process is still typically completed within a week. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific project.
Weather delays are sometimes unavoidable in East Texas, especially during storm season, but we communicate clearly about any schedule changes and work around conditions to minimize disruption to your routine.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and can help guide you through the claims process for storm damage. We understand how insurance adjusters evaluate roof damage and can provide the documentation they need to process your claim efficiently.
We’ll meet with your adjuster, provide detailed damage assessments, and ensure that all necessary repairs are included in the scope of work. Our experience with insurance claims helps streamline the process and often results in better outcomes for homeowners.
It’s important to file claims promptly after storm damage occurs—Texas law generally gives you one year from the date of damage, but starting the process early typically works in your favor.
Multiple missing or damaged shingles, widespread granule loss, and recurring leaks usually indicate replacement is more cost-effective than repairs. If your roof is over 15-20 years old and showing multiple problem areas, replacement often makes more financial sense.
Age combined with visible damage is a key indicator. In Tyler County’s harsh climate, even well-maintained roofs typically need replacement every 20-25 years for asphalt shingles. If you’re dealing with multiple repair issues within a short timeframe, replacement usually provides better long-term value.
We’ll provide honest assessments about whether repairs can adequately address your roof’s issues or if replacement is the smarter investment. Sometimes a few strategic repairs can extend a roof’s life, but we’ll never recommend repairs if replacement is clearly the better option.
Look for contractors with local experience, proper licensing and insurance, and a track record of quality work in East Texas conditions. Check references from recent customers and verify that they’re familiar with local building codes and permit requirements.
Experience with insurance claims is valuable if you’re dealing with storm damage. Contractors who regularly work with adjusters understand the process and can help ensure your claim is handled properly. Ask about their warranty policies and what’s covered for both materials and workmanship.
Get detailed written estimates that specify materials, labor, and timeline. Be cautious of door-to-door solicitors or unusually low bids—quality roofing work requires proper materials and skilled labor, which costs what it costs. Choose based on value and reputation rather than just price.
