Picture this: the next hailstorm rolls through Sour Lake, and while your neighbors scramble for tarps, you’re inside, completely dry and worry-free. That’s what a properly installed roof replacement gives you.
No more middle-of-the-night panic when storms hit. No more buckets catching drips or calling in emergency repairs every few months. Just solid protection overhead that handles whatever Southeast Texas weather throws at it.
You’ll sleep better knowing your family is safe under a roof that’s built to last decades, not years. And when the insurance adjuster shows up after the next storm, you’ll have documentation and warranties that make the claims process smooth instead of stressful.
We’ve been protecting Southeast Texas homes for years, and we understand something that out-of-state contractors don’t: your roof isn’t just fighting rain. It’s battling hail that can reach baseball size, winds that can lift shingles like playing cards, and humidity that tests every seal and joint.
That’s why we don’t use the same materials and methods that work in milder climates. We install roofing systems specifically chosen for Texas conditions, from impact-resistant shingles to reinforced underlayment that won’t fail when you need it most.
Our crews live and work in Southeast Texas. We’re not storm chasers who disappear after the check clears. When you call us in two years for a minor repair or warranty question, we’ll be here to take care of it.
First, we inspect your current roof and explain exactly what needs to be done. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics. Just a clear explanation of the problems and our recommended solutions, along with a detailed written estimate.
Next, we handle the permits and coordinate with your insurance company if storm damage is involved. We’ve worked with every major insurer in Texas, so we know how to document damage properly and get claims approved without the usual back-and-forth.
Installation day starts with protecting your property. We cover landscaping, set up debris containers, and remove your old roof section by section. New underlayment goes down, followed by your chosen roofing material, all installed according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Final inspection covers every detail, from proper flashing around chimneys to clean gutters and complete debris removal. You get documentation for warranties and insurance, plus our contact information for any future questions.

Your roof replacement includes more than just shingles or metal panels. We install complete roofing systems designed for Southeast Texas conditions, starting with high-quality underlayment that creates a secondary barrier against wind-driven rain.
Impact-resistant shingles are particularly important in our area. Class 4 rated materials can withstand hail up to two inches in diameter, and many insurance companies offer premium discounts for homes with impact-resistant roofing. Metal roofing options provide even greater durability, with warranties extending 40+ years.
Proper ventilation is crucial in our humid climate. We install ridge vents, soffit vents, and intake systems that prevent moisture buildup and reduce cooling costs. Every flashing detail around chimneys, skylights, and roof penetrations gets sealed with commercial-grade materials that won’t crack or shrink in Texas heat.
Quality gutters and downspouts complete the system, channeling water away from your foundation and preventing the erosion problems common in Southeast Texas clay soils.
Most residential roof replacements in Sour Lake take 2-4 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We start early each morning and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Weather delays are always possible during Southeast Texas storm season, but we monitor forecasts closely and adjust schedules accordingly. If we need to stop work due to rain, we secure your home with tarps and resume as soon as conditions allow.
Complex roofs with multiple levels, skylights, or unusual architectural features may require additional time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial inspection and keep you updated if anything changes.
Impact-resistant asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for Southeast Texas homes because they balance cost, durability, and storm protection. Class 4 rated shingles can handle hail up to 2 inches in diameter and often qualify for insurance discounts.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity due to its superior longevity and wind resistance. A quality metal roof can last 40+ years and withstand winds over 120 mph, making it ideal for areas prone to severe thunderstorms.
Traditional 3-tab shingles aren’t recommended for our climate because they’re more vulnerable to wind uplift and hail damage. The small upcharge for architectural or impact-resistant shingles pays for itself through better performance and lower insurance premiums.
Insurance coverage depends on the cause of damage and your specific policy terms. Storm damage from hail, wind, or falling trees is typically covered, while normal wear and aging usually aren’t.
We work directly with insurance adjusters to document damage properly and ensure you receive fair compensation. Our detailed reports include photos, measurements, and material specifications that support your claim.
If your roof is older than 15-20 years, some insurers may depreciate coverage or require upgrades to impact-resistant materials. We’ll review your policy requirements and help you understand your options before starting any work.
Age is the biggest factor in this decision. If your roof is over 20 years old and needs significant repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense than patching problems that will keep recurring.
Extensive storm damage often tips the scales toward replacement, especially if multiple roof sections are affected. Insurance adjusters use specific formulas to determine when damage exceeds repair thresholds.
We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your roof’s condition, your budget, and long-term value. Sometimes a quality repair buys you several more years, while other situations clearly call for complete replacement to avoid ongoing problems.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and won’t start removing your old roof if heavy rain is expected within 24 hours. Southeast Texas weather can be unpredictable, so we always have tarps and emergency covering materials on every job site.
If unexpected rain develops during work, we immediately secure exposed areas with heavy-duty tarps and weighted coverings. Our crews are experienced in rapid weather response and can protect your home within minutes.
Most light rain won’t stop progress if we’re working on sections with new underlayment already installed. We make these decisions based on current conditions and radar forecasts to keep your home protected throughout the process.
Roof replacement costs in Sour Lake typically range from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on your home’s size, chosen materials, and complexity of the installation. Basic architectural shingles cost less than premium impact-resistant or metal options.
Factors affecting price include roof pitch, number of penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents), accessibility for equipment, and disposal of old materials. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Financing options are available for qualified homeowners, and insurance coverage can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs when storm damage is involved. We’ll work with you to find solutions that fit your budget and protection needs.
