What Roof Installation Actually Covers

Roof installation is one of the larger investments a homeowner makes, and the most common question is cost. The honest answer: it depends on square footage, pitch, the roofing material you choose, and what the decking looks like once the old roof comes off. What we can tell you is that Ahomeservices has been doing this work for 14 years across the Greater Houston area, carries a 4.7-star rating across 24 Google reviews, and will give you a straight assessment of what your roof actually needs before any work begins. Call (832) 244-5652 to get a real estimate on your project.

A proper roof installation starts at the deck, not the shingles. The condition of your sheathing, the quality of the underlayment, the flashing at every penetration and valley, the ventilation setup in the attic below: all of it determines how long the finished roof performs. Material choices run from standard three-tab asphalt to architectural shingles, metal panels, and TPO membranes for low-slope sections. Each has a different installed cost, a different lifespan, and a different set of requirements for the substrate beneath it. Cost varies significantly based on roof size, material selection, deck condition, and access complexity. Every job is different -- contact Ahomeservices for an accurate estimate.

The Work Itself

What a Full Roof Installation Includes

A new roof is only as good as everything underneath it.

  1. 01

    Tear-Off and Deck Inspection

    The old roofing material comes off completely. We inspect every sheet of sheathing for rot, soft spots, and delamination before anything new goes down.

  2. 02

    Underlayment and Ice Barrier

    Synthetic underlayment goes over the entire deck. In areas prone to wind-driven rain, we run an ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys, not just where code requires it.

  3. 03

    Flashing at Every Penetration

    Chimneys, pipe boots, skylights, and wall intersections get step flashing or counter-flashing. This is where most roof leaks start, and it gets more time, not less.

  4. 04

    Roofing Material Installation

    Shingles, metal panels, or membrane material is installed to manufacturer specifications. Starter strips, proper nailing patterns, and ridge ventilation are not optional steps.

Metal Roofing vs. Asphalt: Which One Is Right

01

Architectural Asphalt Shingles

The most common residential choice. Lower installed cost, widely available in multiple profiles and colors, and straightforward to repair if a section is damaged. Lifespan of 25 to 30 years under normal conditions.

02

Standing Seam Metal

Higher upfront cost, but significantly longer lifespan -- 40 to 50 years is realistic. Handles wind and rain well, which matters in this region. Expansion and contraction require proper clip-and-seam installation to perform correctly.

03

TPO Membrane (Low-Slope Roofs)

Flat and low-slope roof sections need a membrane system, not shingles. TPO is heat-welded at the seams and is one of the more durable options for this application. If your home has a flat addition or covered patio, this is likely what it needs.

04

Metal Panel (Exposed Fastener)

A lower-cost metal option than standing seam, suitable for certain applications. Requires periodic inspection of the fastener washers, which are the first point of wear. We'll tell you if this is the right fit or if you'd be better served by standing seam.

How the Installation Process Works

Three stages, in order, no shortcuts.

Call (832) 244-5652or request a quote online

  1. Estimate and Material Selection

    We measure the roof, inspect the attic ventilation, and review the deck condition. You get a written scope covering material, tear-off, and any deck work needed before we quote a number.

  2. Installation

    Tear-off, deck repair if required, underlayment, flashing, and roofing material -- in that order. We tarp landscaping and run a magnet over the yard for fasteners before we leave each day.

  3. Final Inspection and Cleanup

    Once the material is down, we walk the roof with you and cover what was done, what we found in the deck, and what to watch for. All debris is hauled off the same day.

When to Replace

Signs Your Roof Needs Full Replacement, Not Repair

01

Widespread Granule Loss

If asphalt shingles are losing granules across large sections, not just around flashing, the shingles are at end of life. Repairing a section doesn't extend the rest of the roof.

02

Deck Damage Below the Shingles

Soft sheathing, visible sag, or staining from long-term moisture intrusion. These aren't a surface problem. A roof replacement addresses the deck; a patch does not.

03

Multiple Leak Sources

One leak at a flashing point is a repair. Leaks appearing in different locations across the roof indicate the overall system has failed, not just one spot.

04

Age Past the Material's Warranty Period

A 25-year shingle at 27 years is past its design life. At that point, you're repairing something that can't be warranted and will need replacement within a few years regardless.

What You Get With Ahomeservices

14 years in the trade. 4.7 stars across 24 Google reviews. One crew, not a subcontractor.

We don't subcontract roof installations. The person who comes out to estimate is connected to the crew that does the work. That's not common in this business, and it matters when something needs to be addressed after the job is done. You can also reach us directly for general handyman repairs and maintenance work alongside any roofing project.

Roof Installation: Common Questions

What does roof installation cost per square foot?
Installed cost varies by material, roof pitch, deck condition, and access. Asphalt shingles typically run lower per square than metal or membrane systems, but deck repairs, high-pitch surcharges, and tear-off labor all affect the final number. Any figure you see online is a starting point, not a quote for your specific roof. Every job is different -- contact Ahomeservices at (832) 244-5652 for an accurate estimate.
How long does a roof installation take?
Most standard residential roofs are completed in one to two days once the crew is on site. Larger roofs, multi-pitch configurations, or roofs with significant deck damage that requires sheathing replacement take longer. We give you a realistic timeline during the estimate, not a best-case number we can't hold to.
Can new shingles be installed over old ones?
Most roofing manufacturers void the warranty on a re-roof if shingles are installed over an existing layer. We don't do it. Beyond the warranty issue, layering hides deck problems that need to be found and fixed. A full tear-off is the only way to know what you're working with before new material goes down.
What roofing material lasts the longest in Gulf Coast conditions?
Standing seam metal handles wind and moisture better than any other residential material and typically carries a 40-to-50-year lifespan. Architectural asphalt shingles are a solid 25-to-30-year option when installed correctly on a sound deck. TPO membrane is the correct choice for flat or low-slope sections -- shingles are not rated for low slopes and will fail early if used there.
What happens if the decking is rotted when you tear off the old roof?
Rotted or delaminated sheathing gets replaced before new roofing material goes down. We photograph any damaged sections and walk you through what we found before we proceed. Deck repair adds to the cost, but it's not something we skip -- roofing over a compromised deck shortens the life of a new roof significantly and creates liability for everyone involved.
Do I need a permit for roof installation?
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and scope of work. In most incorporated areas of the Greater Houston metro, a full tear-off and re-roof requires a permit. We can confirm the requirement for your specific address during the estimate. Never let a contractor skip the permit question -- it affects your home's insurability and resale disclosures.
