AttarCo Homes › Service Areas › Houston Heights
The Heights is one of Houston's oldest neighborhoods, and it looks like it — Woodland Heights, Sunset Heights, Shady Acres, and Timbergrove are full of 1910s–1940s bungalows and craftsman-style homes with steep, distinctive rooflines that a modern subdivision roof was never built to match. Add a mature tree canopy that drops limbs and granule-stripping debris into every valley, plus the same hail and Gulf storm exposure the rest of Houston gets, and Heights roofs age on a schedule all their own.
We inspect Heights roofs the way a century-old home deserves: checking for storm damage, but also for the abrasion and wear pattern that comes from decades under live oaks and pecans. If your roof falls inside a Houston Historic District, we handle that piece too — we know which streets require approval for roof-visible changes and we prepare that paperwork as part of the job, not an afterthought. When it's time to rebuild, we do it in steep-slope architectural shingle or standing-seam metal, matched to the home's original lines, with a full tear-off to finished roof in one to two days.
A roof that's decades older than the average Houston home comes with its own set of problems — old decking, multiple roofing layers from past repairs, and rooflines with dormers, gables, and porch returns that were never simple. We've replaced enough Heights-era bungalow roofs to know where those homes actually leak (usually not where you'd guess), and we price and plan for that complexity up front instead of finding it mid-job and re-quoting you.
If your home sits inside a City of Houston Historic District — sections of Woodland Heights and Houston Heights proper are the most common — a roof-visible change can require a Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts. We tell you plainly whether that applies to your address, and if it does, we prepare and submit the paperwork ourselves. And because live oaks and pecans shade most Heights streets, we pay close attention to limb-abrasion wear and debris-clogged valleys during inspection — the kind of damage that quietly shortens a roof's life long before a storm ever gets the blame.
It depends on your street. Several Heights subdivisions — including sections of Woodland Heights and Houston Heights proper — sit inside City of Houston Historic Districts, where roof-visible changes can require review before work starts. We know which blocks fall under that ordinance, we'll tell you plainly if yours does, and we prepare the paperwork so it doesn't stall your project.
That's the whole point of doing it right. We match architectural shingle profiles and, where it fits the home, standing-seam metal to the original roof lines so a century-old bungalow in Sunset Heights or Woodland Heights still looks like itself — just dry and structurally sound underneath. We don't push a look that fights the house.
