New Roof Installation in Pearland, TX

Asphalt shingles for pitched residential roofs

For most Pearland homes, architectural asphalt shingles strike the best balance of cost, durability and appearance. We install Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles, which are built for wind, hail and heat and come in a wide range of colors.

Metal roofing

Metal is a strong option for homeowners and business owners who want a long service life and low maintenance. It sheds heavy rain quickly and, in lighter finishes, reflects a good share of the summer sun. It does cost more initially, so it fits best when you plan to stay in the building for many years.

Flat and low-slope roofing

Commercial buildings and some home additions have roofs too flat for shingles. These need a membrane system designed to keep standing water out, with careful attention to drains, edges and penetrations for rooftop equipment.

On new construction, we schedule around your builder so the roof goes on as soon as the deck is ready and the structure is protected from rain. On replacements, the old roof comes off completely so we can inspect the decking and replace anything soft or rotted. Most residential installations take between one and three days; commercial projects vary with size and system. We give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Commercial owners have a few extra considerations. Work may need to be scheduled around business hours, rooftop HVAC units must be protected or temporarily disconnected, and customers and staff need safe access to entrances while crews are overhead. We plan these details with you in advance so the project disrupts operations as little as possible. For homeowners, the planning is simpler but still important: we confirm HOA approval, delivery dates and dumpster placement before the start date.

Not every leak means you need a new roof. These signs suggest replacement is worth considering:

• Leaks that return after repairs, or that appear in several places.
• Shingles that are missing, curling, cracking or shedding granules.
• Sagging areas or soft spots that suggest deck damage.
• On flat roofs, blistering, splitting seams or water that ponds for days after rain.

We perform a thorough inspection and recommend the option that fits the roof's actual condition, not the most expensive one.

Age matters too. An asphalt roof that has been through 20 or more Gulf Coast summers is usually near the end of its useful life even if it looks acceptable from the street, while a younger roof with isolated damage is often a good candidate for repair.

Pearland is flat and low, and heavy rain from Gulf storms has to go somewhere. A new roof works best when water leaves it efficiently and is carried away from the building. That means properly sized gutters and downspouts on pitched roofs and clear drains on flat ones. Our gutter and downspout installation is often part of a new roof project. Good attic ventilation matters too; it keeps heat from cooking the shingles from underneath and helps control humidity.

• Proper ventilation to move hot, moist air out of the attic.
• Quality underlayment and flashing at valleys, walls and penetrations.
• Correct nailing patterns for wind resistance.
• Corrosion-resistant fasteners and metal components.

When storms hit Pearland, we provide emergency repairs to secure your property and keep water out, followed by full repairs or replacement. If you are filing an insurance claim, we can document the damage and assist with the process.

If you suspect damage but are not sure, look for shingle pieces in the yard, dented gutters or vents, or new stains inside. Take photos and call us; an inspection costs you nothing and tells you whether a claim is worth pursuing.

We serve Pearland, Friendswood, Manvel, Alvin and the rest of Brazoria County, plus Harris, Fort Bend, Galveston, Montgomery and Waller counties. Call 832-691-1917, email info@tektonexteriors.com, or contact us online. For more on what goes into a new roof, visit our new roof installation guide.
