Roofers in Mission Bend, TX

Unincorporated Fort Bend County housing from the seventies and eighties, now on its third roof.

Mission Bend is a large unincorporated community in Fort Bend County on the south west side, built out largely through the 1970s and 1980s. There is no city, so there is no city permit. Deed restrictions and the homeowner associations govern appearance.

Housing of that era in Houston has a consistent set of roof characteristics, and after forty years those roofs are typically on their third round.

What is different about a Mission Bend roof

Third-generation roofs and tired decking

Two previous tear-offs means the same decking has been stripped and re-fastened twice. Nail holes accumulate, and where earlier crews left marginal sheets in place it compounds. This is the one line no honest roofer can price before the tear-off, which is why we price decking per sheet on the original quote and photograph every sheet we replace.

What the last roof did or did not fix

The useful question here is what happened last time. Reused flashing, missing drip edge, four-nail patterns and ventilation left as built are all things we can read from the roof and the attic, and they tell us what this replacement needs to correct rather than repeat.

Garage and addition tie-ins

The most common leak on housing of this era. The junction where a garage or addition roof meets the main roof or a wall was frequently sealed rather than flashed, and sealant fails on a schedule.

Ventilation from an older standard

Vented to the thinking of the time, then made worse by decades of added attic insulation blocking the soffit intake. Cheap to correct, and it materially changes how long the new roof lasts.

Mature trees

Forty years of growth means real debris load in valleys and gutters, and limbs over the roof plane that should be trimmed clear.

Who issues the permit here

This address sits in unincorporated Fort Bend 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 color 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.

All twenty one services.

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.

For scale: on our published numbers a 25 square roof (2,500 square feet of roof, normal pitch, one story) comes to $7,854 to $8,341 depending on the shingle, before any permit or rotten decking. On 62 real jobs, a traditional Houston roofer's median was $496 a square. Both figures are in our report on roof replacement cost in Houston.

Our workmanship warranty is ten years, written into the contract. What that covers, and what it does not.

Common Questions

Do I need a permit in Mission Bend?

It is unincorporated Fort Bend County, which does not permit residential re-roofing the way a city does. Your deed restrictions and HOA architectural rules apply instead.

My roof has been replaced twice already. Is the decking a problem?

It might be. Two tear-offs means the same sheets have been stripped and re-fastened twice. We assess it properly and price replacement per sheet up front so it is never a change order.

Why does the same spot keep leaking?

On housing of this era it is usually the garage or addition tie-in, sealed rather than flashed. Rebuilding the detail is the fix. More sealant is not.

My attic is extremely hot. Does that matter?

Yes. It ages the shingles from underneath and it is usually caused by soffit intake blocked with insulation, which is inexpensive to clear.
