How much does a new roof cost in Houston?

Shingle roofs in Houston run $5 to $10 per square foot of roof, depending on the shingle you pick. Your roof’s size sets most of the price, so here is what common roof sizes cost:

1,000 sq ft$5,000 – $6,000$6,000 – $8,000$9,000 – $10,000
1,500 sq ft$7,500 – $9,000$9,000 – $12,000$13,500 – $15,000

2,500 sq ft$12,500 – $15,000$15,000 – $20,000$22,500 – $25,000

Owens Corning shingle roofs. Roof size means the area of the roof itself, not your home’s living space. Steep roofs and decking repairs can add to the total. Your written quote gives you the number for your actual roof.

What Changes the Price

What drives the cost of a roof replacement in Houston

No two roofs cost the same. These are the factors that move the number:

  • Roof size. Roofers measure in squares (100 square feet each). More squares means more materials and more labor.
  • Pitch and complexity. Steep slopes, valleys, dormers, chimneys and skylights add time and flashing work.
  • Layers to remove. Tearing off one layer is quicker than tearing off two.
  • Decking condition. Any rotted or damaged decking has to be replaced before the new roof goes on, and the extent is only confirmed once the old roofing is off.
  • Material choice. Shingle line and color, or a move to metal roofing, change the material cost.
  • Ventilation, flashing and underlayment. Details at the vents, chimneys and edges affect both cost and how long the roof lasts.
  • Residential or commercial. Commercial roofs have different systems, access and scope.
  • Windstorm areas. Homes in Texas’s 14 coastal counties and parts of Harris County east of Highway 146 (like La Porte, Seabrook and Pasadena) are in the state’s windstorm zone. A new roof there has to meet the windstorm code: hand-nailed shingles with a 6-nail pattern, 4×2 drip edge and two layers of synthetic underlayment. Apollo hires an engineer to inspect the work in the middle of the install so you can get your windstorm certificate (WPI-8) and keep your TWIA coverage. The extra materials, labor and inspection add to the cost.

If we find rotted or damaged decking during tear-off, we show you your options and talk through what to do before any extra work is done.

Replace or Repair?

What roof replacement is, and the signs you need one

A roof replacement means removing the old roofing down to the deck, fixing whatever is wrong underneath, and installing a complete new roof system: underlayment, flashing, ventilation and shingles. It is different from a repair, which fixes one area and leaves the rest of the roof in place.

Houston roofs work hard. Heat, humidity, heavy rain, hail and hurricane-season wind wear shingles faster than many homeowners expect. Signs it may be time to replace rather than repair include:

  • Shingles that are curling, cracking or missing granules, which often show up as dark patches in your gutters
  • Leaks or water stains on ceilings that keep coming back after repairs
  • Soft or sagging spots in the roof deck
  • Damage spread across several slopes instead of one small area
  • A roof that is at or near the end of its expected life

If you are not sure which side of the line you are on, a roof inspection gives you a straight answer before you spend anything on a full replacement.

Our Process

How Apollo replaces your roof, step by step

  1. Inspect and measure. We look at the roof surface, the attic side where we can, and measure every slope so the quote reflects your real roof.
  2. Put it in writing. You get a written quote that lays out the scope and materials, so you can compare it line by line with any other bid.
  3. Choose your materials. Every roof we install is Owens Corning, and we walk you through the options that fit your home and budget.
  4. Tear off and check the deck. The old roofing comes off and we inspect the decking underneath. Rotted or damaged decking gets flagged before new materials go on.
  5. Install the new system. Underlayment, flashing, ventilation and shingles go on as a complete system, not a patch over the old one.
  6. Final walk-through. We review the finished roof with you and go over your lifetime workmanship warranty, which is transferable if you sell your home.

Roof Replacement Cost FAQ

Straight answers to the questions Houston homeowners ask most about the cost of a new roof.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Houston?

Shingle roofs in Houston run $5 to $10 per square foot of roof, so a 2,000 sq ft roof runs about $10,000 to $20,000 depending on the shingle you pick. The cost depends on your roof’s size, pitch, number of layers, decking condition and the materials you choose. Use the cost calculator on this page for an estimate. The only way to get an exact number is a written quote based on your actual roof.

Quotes differ because of scope and materials. One bid may include decking repairs, new flashing and full ventilation while another leaves them out, and brands and shingle lines are priced differently. Ask every roofer for a written quote that lists what is included so you can compare them line by line.

A repair costs less up front, and it makes sense when damage is limited to one small area on an otherwise healthy roof. If leaks keep returning, damage covers several slopes, or the roof is near the end of its life, replacing it usually avoids paying for repair after repair.

Every Apollo roof comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty that is transferable if you sell your home, and every roof we install is Owens Corning.
