Roofers in Fairfield, Cypress TX
A nineties community whose roofs are now on their second round, all at once.
Fairfield is one of the older large master-planned communities in the Cypress area of unincorporated Harris County, built out largely through the 1990s. That build date matters more here than almost anywhere else we work.
A community built out in a decade gets roofed in a decade. Those original roofs were replaced roughly together, and that second generation is now reaching the end of its life together too. Fairfield is a neighbourhood where the roofs move in waves.
What is different about a Fairfield roof
Second-generation roofs, and the decking underneath
If your roof has been replaced once already, the decking has been exposed and re-fastened once. Each tear-off puts new nail holes in the same sheets, and where a previous crew was careless about damaged sheets, it shows on the second replacement. It is worth knowing this before the quote, because decking is the one line nobody can price accurately until the tear-off, which is exactly why we price it per sheet up front.
What the first replacement did or did not do
The most useful question on a Fairfield roof is what happened last time. Was the flashing replaced or reused? Was drip edge added? Was ventilation improved or left as built? We can read most of that from the roof and the attic, and it tells us what this replacement needs to fix.
Mature trees now
Unlike the newer Cypress communities, Fairfield's trees have had thirty years to grow. Debris in the valleys and gutters is a real load here, and limbs over the roof plane abrade shingles. It is worth a trim before a new roof goes on.
HOA approval
Unincorporated Harris County, so no city roof permit. The architectural guidelines govern appearance, and in an established community they are usually well enforced.
Hail history
North west Harris County takes hail, and a community this size with uniform housing is canvassed hard after every event. Your own documentation, taken before anyone knocks, is worth having.
Who issues the permit here
This address sits in unincorporated Harris County, which does not permit residential re-roofing the way an incorporated city does. That does not mean nothing applies. Your MUD, your deed restrictions and your HOA all still do, and an HOA architectural committee is frequently stricter about colour and profile than any city would be.
We pull it under our own name wherever one is required, and it is passed through at its actual cost with the receipt attached. A contractor asking you to pull your own permit is asking you to carry the liability for their work.
What we do here
Roofing is most of it, and the exterior work exists because the same rain that gets through a failed roof detail rots the boards next to it.
Roof Replacement
Full tear-off, priced off the supplier invoice you keep.
Roof Repair
We repair when a repair is honest, and say so when it is not.
Free Inspection
Photographed and written up, yours whether you hire us or not.
Storm & Hail

The boards behind your gutters, which rot first here.
Siding & Wood Rot
Hardie, vinyl and wood, plus the rot behind it.
What it costs
Every job is priced Cost Plus. You see the supplier invoice for the materials, the crew hours at our published rate, the permit and disposal at what they actually cost, and one service fee of 20 to 30 percent set by job complexity and locked before anything starts. No second number, no change order conversation afterwards. The full breakdown.
Our workmanship warranty is ten years, written into the contract. What that covers, and what it does not.
Common Questions
My roof has been replaced once already. Does that change anything?
It means the decking has been exposed and re-fastened once, and it means the quality of that first replacement affects this one. We read what was done last time from the roof and the attic, and it tells us what this job needs to correct.
Why can nobody give me a firm price on decking?
Because nobody can see it until the shingles come off. We price it per sheet on the original quote and photograph each sheet we replace, so it is never a renegotiation.
Do I need city approval?
No city permit, because this is unincorporated Harris County. Your HOA architectural guidelines govern the appearance, and in an established community they are enforced.
Should I trim the trees before a re-roof?
Yes. Limbs over the roof plane abrade shingles, drop debris into the valleys and make crew access harder. It is cheap and it extends the new roof.
