AttarCo Homes › Roof Replacement
Serving Greater Houston Since 1985A new roof is a big decision, and you shouldn't have to make it blind. This page walks through how to tell whether your roof actually needs replacing, exactly what a proper replacement includes, and what the process looks like start to finish — most homes are done in 1–2 days. When you're ready, request a free quote and we'll send a real number by the end of the next business day — guaranteed.
Not every worn roof needs a full replacement — sometimes a repair is the honest answer, and we'll tell you when it is. But these four signs usually mean a roof is at or past the end of its life:
Most Houston subdivisions were roofed with 3-tab or entry-level shingle rated for our sun and storms only so long. Past 15–20 years, the question shifts from if to when — and to whether the next storm decides for you.
Granules in the gutters and bald, shiny patches on shingles mean the layer that protects against UV is washing away. Once it's widespread, shingles become brittle and fail fast in Gulf Coast heat.
One leak is a repair. Leaks that keep coming back in new places mean the system as a whole — shingles, underlayment, flashing — is failing. Patching a failing system costs more over time than replacing it once, properly.
Hail bruising and wind-lifted shingles often aren't visible from the ground, but they break the roof's seal. If a storm has come through, get it inspected and documented — storm damage may make your replacement an insurance claim rather than an out-of-pocket cost.
Not sure which category you're in? That's what the free inspection is for — no ladder required on your end, no obligation.
"New roof" should never mean "new shingles nailed over old problems." Here's what's included when we replace a roof — and what you should expect from anyone you hire:
We install the material that fits your home, your neighborhood, and how long you plan to stay — and we'll give you the honest trade-offs of each:
The workhorse for Houston homes: dimensional look, solid wind ratings, wide color range, and the best balance of cost and lifespan for most families. What we install most often.
The longest-lived option we offer — excellent in coastal wind zones, sheds heavy rain, reflects summer heat. Higher up-front investment, decades of service. Popular from League City to Galveston.
Low-slope and flat-roof systems for offices, retail, and light industrial buildings. Different materials, same standard: correct installation, documented, warrantied.
Bring us the question. Part of the quote conversation is matching material to your roof pitch, your HOA, your insurance, and your plans for the house — not steering you to the priciest line item.
Every roof is priced individually, so you'll see real numbers on your written quote — not a range off a website. But so the quote makes sense when it arrives, these are the four factors that move the price on nearly every job (for a deeper walkthrough with honest ballpark ranges, see our Houston roof replacement cost guide):
One thing that doesn't change the price: surprises. The number on your quote is the number, and any decking work found mid-job is approved by you first.
Most homes go from old roof to new roof in one to two days on site. Here's the whole thing:

We inspect the roof, document what we find, and give you a written quote with the scope spelled out. If a repair is the smarter move, we say so. No pressure, no expiring "today-only" pricing.
We order materials, set an installation date around the weather, and tell you how to prepare (mostly: move cars out of the driveway and take fragile items off shelves — the hammering vibrates walls).
Old roof comes off down to the decking, usually in the first morning. Any soft or rotted decking is photographed, shown to you, and replaced with your approval.
Underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and your new roof go on. Most single-family homes are completed in 1–2 days; larger or steeper roofs can take longer, and we never leave a roof exposed overnight.
Debris hauled off, magnet sweep for nails across the yard and driveway, and a walkthrough with you. You get your warranty documents in writing before we call it done.
After hail or hurricane-force wind, a roof replacement is often an insurance claim — not an out-of-pocket project. The difference between a paid claim and a denied one usually comes down to documentation and deadlines, and that's a process we've handled for Houston homeowners for decades: inspection, documentation, meeting the adjuster on your roof, and doing the work to your policy's requirements.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in the Houston area are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days. Larger or steeper roofs, decking repairs, or weather delays can add time — we tell you the expected schedule before work starts, and we don't leave a roof open overnight.
Do I need to leave my house during the work?
No. Most homeowners stay home. It is loud — hammering and foot traffic overhead for most of the day — so plan around calls and naps, and keep pets somewhere calm. We protect landscaping and A/C units, and we run a magnet sweep for nails before we leave.
How does payment usually work?
You get a written quote first, and the price on it is the price — any change (like hidden decking rot found at tear-off) is shown to you and approved before it happens. On insurance-funded replacements, payment typically follows your insurer's claim disbursement schedule. We're happy to walk through payment timing before you commit to anything.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Two warranties, actually: the manufacturer's warranty on the materials, and our workmanship warranty on the installation. The workmanship warranty is the one that matters most — most roof failures are installation failures — and after 40 years in Houston, we're still here to honor it.
Is there a best season to replace a roof in Houston?
Roofs are replaced here year-round. Fall through spring offers milder installation weather, and getting ahead of hurricane season (June–November) means your new roof is what faces the next storm instead of your old one. If your roof is already leaking or storm-damaged, the best time is now — water damage compounds.
