New Roof Installation in Stafford, TX

New construction

When you are building, the roof goes on early and protects everything that follows. We work from the plans to confirm deck layout, underlayment, ventilation and flashing details, then coordinate with your builder so the roof is completed in sequence with framing, windows and siding.

Additions and enclosed patios

Adding a room, a garage or a covered patio is common in Stafford's established neighborhoods. The tricky part is where the new roof meets the old one. The new section has to match the existing pitch and shingle as closely as possible, and the valley or wall transition has to be flashed carefully. Poorly tied-in additions are one of the most frequent sources of leaks we are called to fix.

Full re-roof on an existing home

For homes where the original roof has reached the end of its life, we tear off the old layers down to the deck and install a complete new system. Our new roof installation overview explains how each type of project is planned.

Most Stafford homeowners choose architectural asphalt shingles, and we install Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles for their dimensional look, wide color range and SureNail Technology for wind resistance. Duration STORM adds a Class 4 impact rating for those concerned about hail. Learn more on our roofing shingles page.

Metal roofing is another option, particularly for patio covers, low-slope sections and homeowners who want a different look. We will talk through the trade-offs in cost, appearance and noise so you can decide what suits your home and budget.

• A solid, properly fastened deck with damaged boards replaced before anything goes on top
• Synthetic underlayment across the deck and extra waterproofing in valleys and around penetrations
• Starter strips, drip edge and step flashing installed according to the manufacturer's instructions
• Balanced attic ventilation, with enough soffit intake to match ridge or roof-vent exhaust
• Pipe boots, vents and any skylights flashed and sealed as part of the roof, not as an afterthought
• Gutters reset or replaced so water leaves the roof and moves away from the foundation

Ventilation deserves special mention in Stafford. Many older homes here were built with too little attic airflow, and later remodels sometimes block soffit vents with insulation. A hot attic shortens shingle life and makes air conditioners work harder through long Fort Bend County summers, so we check and correct ventilation on every new roof.

Stafford's weather adds a few more reasons to get the details right. Spring thunderstorms can bring strong gusts and hail, summer heat bakes the shingles for months, and hurricane season from June through November can deliver days of wind-driven rain. Edges, valleys and wall transitions are where those forces find a way in, so that is where we spend extra time during installation.

On a typical re-roof, the crew arrives early, protects landscaping and outdoor equipment, and places a dumpster where it will not block the street. Tear-off and deck inspection come first, followed by underlayment, flashing and shingles. Most homes are complete in one to three days depending on size and complexity. We keep the house dried in at the end of each day, clean up thoroughly with magnetic nail sweeps, and walk the finished roof with you before we leave.

If you have an active leak or storm damage before your new roof can be scheduled, we can make a temporary roof repair to protect the house in the meantime.

We start with a visit to measure the roof, look at the attic and discuss your goals. You receive a written estimate that lists materials, scope and any conditional items such as deck replacement. If your new roof is part of an insurance claim, we provide documentation and can meet your adjuster. Request your free quote online or call 832-691-1917.
