Labor Costs
How much does roofing labor cost in Houston, Texas compared to nearby areas?
Roofing labor for asphalt shingles in Houston typically falls in the $2.50‑$5.00 per square‑foot range, five to fifteen percent above what inland towns nearby charge. The surcharge stems from Houston’s heat and humidity. Stricter hurricane tie‑down standards and tighter permitting. On the coast Galveston usually pushes prices higher while the rural counties, to the northwest and northeast of Houston tend to be somewhat cheaper. Weather & Climate Considerations

Houston’s climate, 50 inches of rain a year virtually no snow scorching summer heat and occasional hurricane‑force gusts, quickens UV and thermal wear encourages algae and rot and can even blow shingles off. As a result an asphalt roof usually lasts 15 to 20 years while metal roofing corrodes more rapidly in the city’s high humidity. What is the most common cause of roof damage in Houston, Texas?

In Houston the sweet spot for a roof replacement lands in fall, October through November, and again from late winter into early spring roughly February, through April. Those periods see Gulf Coast humidity dip, storm risk wane temperatures stay comfortably mild. The oppressive summer heat and peak hurricane season are left behind. Insurance & Storms
How common are storm-related roof claims in Houston, Texas?
Storm‑related roof claims are a reality in Houston. Gulf hurricanes, storms and the frequent fierce summer thunderstorms unleash wind wind‑driven rain and even hail. Toppled trees in oak‑lined neighborhoods the city’s terrain and its maze of bayous that hold floodwaters longer all compound the damage. When major events, like Hurricane Harvey strike the numbers surge sharply each year from June through November cementing storm damage as one of the homeowner claims.
