Roofing Contractor in Katy, TX
Katy takes weather from two directions — hurricanes off the Gulf and hail off the prairie — and most of its roofs sit inside master-planned communities with an architectural review board to satisfy. We have roofed here through Harvey, Imelda and Beryl.
Repairs from $195, replacements from $8,000, and a free inspection with photographs of everything we find — including when the finding is that your roof is fine.
Three counties meet here. Katy spans western Harris, northern Fort Bend and southern Waller — which matters for permits, and for which adjuster office handles your claim. We work all three.

Roofing Services in Katy, With the Prices
Almost no roofer publishes what anything costs. We do. Take these to two other companies — that is what they are for.
Roof Replacement in Katy
$8,000–$20,000
Most Katy homes finish in one day. GAF Timberline UHDZ with the Golden Pledge comes as standard on approved claims — Class 4, which matters here.
Four packages, priced →Free inspection
Free
Every slope photographed, attic checked where there is access, no hammer on the roof. Findings are yours whether or not any work follows.
What an honest inspection is →Emergency repair
2–4 hours
365 days a year, no out-of-hours surcharge. Katy humidity turns an attic leak into mold within days — we tarp first and repair once it is dry.
Emergency response →Hurricane damage
Free inspection
Beryl in 2024 took ridge caps and lifted eave courses across Katy. Wind damage starts at the ridge and the starter strip — we check both first.
Should you file, and what to check →Hail damage
Free inspection
Spring storms track across Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch and Grand Lakes. We check the soft metals first — if gutters and vents are unmarked, the hail was too small to matter.
How to tell if you have hail damage →Wind & tornado damage
Free inspection
The April 2024 EF-1 and straight-line storms lift shingles without hail. Directional damage on one slope is the signature.
Why wind damage starts at the ridge →Roof Insurance Claims in Katy
We document, you file
Photographs, an itemized scope, and we meet your adjuster on the roof. Filing and negotiating is licensed public-adjuster work — a roofer cannot do it.

Two weather systems, one roof
Why Katy Is Harder on a Roof Than Most of Houston
From the Gulf
Hurricanes and tropical wind
Harvey in 2017, Imelda in 2019, Beryl in July 2024. Katy is far enough inland to avoid the surge and close enough to take the wind. Beryl lifted eave courses and stripped ridge caps across Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch — the two components that decide whether a roof holds.
Which is why we fit manufacturer starter strip and ridge cap on every roof, six ring-shank nails per shingle, and the four GAF accessories that qualify a roof for the WindProven™ warranty — no maximum wind speed. Why wind damage starts at the ridge →
From the prairie
Hail, and the April 2024 tornado
Spring storms build over the open land west of Katy and track east across the communities. An EF-1 touched down in April 2024. Hail bruises the shingle mat without leaking, which is why Katy claims get filed late — sometimes a year after the storm.
A UL 2218 Class 4 shingle takes a two-inch steel ball without cracking. On an approved claim we install GAF Timberline UHDZ, which is Class 4, as standard. TDI states Class 4 receives the highest premium credit of the four classes, set by each insurer. What Class 4 actually means →
The third factor
Almost Every Katy Roof Has an Architectural Review Board
Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Cane Island, Elyson, Firethorne, Jordan Ranch — the master-planned communities require approval before the roof changes color, material, or in some cases profile. Submit the wrong shingle and the replacement waits a month.
We know which colors each board has approved before, which stone-coated metal profiles pass as shingle, and what documentation the review needs. That is the difference between a two-week job and a six-week one.
What a Katy roof system actually includes
- GAF StormGuard leak barrier in valleys, at penetrations and eaves — on every roof, including Owens Corning systems
- Synthetic underlayment, not felt
- Drip edge on every edge — the component most often missing on older Katy homes
- Six ring-shank hot-dip galvanized nails per shingle, and manufacturer starter strip
- Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation — O’Hagin intake and 11.5″ ridge vent, metal only
- 3″×4″ downspouts on every job, because Katy’s flat drainage needs the capacity
GAF Master Elite — roughly the top 2% of U.S. roofers — and Owens Corning Preferred. Both matter for the same reason: the warranty is only valid if the installation is, and a certified contractor is who the manufacturer will stand behind. Our certifications →

Katy Communities We Work In
Old Katy to Cane Island. Each has a different roof age, a different review board, and in some cases a different county.
Old Katy & downtown
77493 · the original town
The oldest housing stock in the area, around the original town center and the rice-drier district. Small lots, older framing, and roofs that have often been replaced twice. Katy Heights, Katyland and the streets around Katy Mills sit here.
- Katy Heights
- Katyland
- Old Katy
- Katy Mills area
- Park Row
Cane Island
77493 · 2015 onward
The newest of the big Katy communities, west along I-10. Most roofs are original and still under manufacturer warranty — which is the moment to confirm the installation actually qualifies for the coverage you think you have.
- Cane Island
Elyson & Sunterra
77493 · north Katy
North of the freeway on former prairie, built 2016 onward. Open exposure with little to break the wind, and the April 2024 straight-line storms reached both. Newer roofs, but built fast during a boom.
- Elyson
- Sunterra
- Katy Lakes
- Las Ventanas
- Avalon
- Cardiff Ranch
Williamsburg & the north side
77450 · north of I-10

After a storm, or just after fifteen years
Signs a Katy Roof Needs Attention
- Granules in the gutters after rain, or bald patches from the ground
- Half-dollar-sized hail or larger in the last two years — bruising takes time to show
- Ceiling stains on the upper floor after heavy rain
- Curling, cracking or lifted shingles, especially on the windward slope
- Daylight through the attic decking
- Flashing gaps at chimneys, skylights and pipe boots
- Fifteen years or older — Houston heat gives asphalt 15 to 25, not the 30 on the packet
- Rising electricity bills, which is usually the attic, not the roof
Two or more means an inspection. Free, photographed, and we tell you when the answer is that it is fine. The eight signs, in detail →
Since Beryl, the most-asked question in Katy
What We Do on an Insurance Claim — and What We Cannot
We do
- Inspect and photograph every slope
- Write an itemized scope in the format your carrier uses
- Meet your adjuster on the roof, so you are both looking at the same evidence
- Explain repair versus replacement in plain terms
- Match materials to the original installation
We do not
- File your claim
- Negotiate with your carrier
- Advise on coverage
Those are licensed public-adjuster work. A Texas roofer offering them is offering something they are not licensed for.
Three deductibles, two depreciation methods, and a filing deadline that is separate from the depreciation deadline. How Texas claims actually work →
Beyond asphalt
Specialty Roofing in Katy
Decra stone-coated metal
Hail-tough, and it does not lift in hurricane wind when installed correctly. Several Katy boards now approve shingle-profile metal.
F-Wave synthetic
Class 4, built for Texas heat. For homeowners done with replacing asphalt every fifteen years.
Brava tile
The slate or Spanish-tile look for Cinco Ranch Northwest, Cardiff Ranch and Avalon at Spring Green — without the weight or the fragility.
Low-slope sections
Porches, additions and modern details. Shingles on a low slope will leak. TPO and modified bitumen where the pitch calls for it.
Most Katy homes are best served by architectural asphalt, and we will say so rather than sell you something more expensive.
The warranty question nobody asks until the claim
No Maximum Wind Speed — But Only If the Roof Is Built for It
GAF’s WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty carries no maximum wind speed limitation for fifteen years. On this coast that is the only wind warranty worth having. It costs nothing extra and needs no registration — but it does not come automatically, and most roofs never qualify for it.
What the roof must have
- Timberline shingles with LayerLock®Not any GAF shingle — only the LayerLock-labeled ones
- GAF roof deck protectionGAF-branded, not a generic synthetic underlayment
- GAF starter stripAt the eaves and the rakes. Not cut shingles
- GAF ridge cap shinglesThe high-profile product, not cut 3-tab
- GAF leak barrier or attic ventilationOne or the other, both GAF
- Six nails per shingleTo the specified pattern — part of Special Installation
All six. Miss one and the roof does not qualify.
What happens without it
130 mphwith Special Installation
110 mphwithout it
Same fifteen years. Same shingle on the surface. A different warranty underneath — and on the Gulf Coast, 130 mph is a number a hurricane can pass.
A contractor can promise you the unlimited warranty and still not install the system that earns it. Nothing stops them saying it. The homeowner finds out at the claim, which is the worst possible moment to find out.
One question that settles it
“Which four GAF accessories are you installing?”
Ask whoever is quoting you. If they cannot name them, the warranty they are describing is not the warranty you will get. Ask for it in writing on the estimate, as line items — not as a sentence about coverage.
We build every roof to the qualifying specification and put each component on the estimate by name. On a coastal job it is the same six-nail ring-shank pattern the windstorm inspector checks anyway.
The WindProven™ remedy is the reasonable cost of replacing blown-off or damaged shingles and hand-sealing any that have not sealed. Wind warranty coverage runs fifteen years. Hail, impact and damage from falling objects are not manufacturer warranty items — those are an insurance claim. See the GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.

What Katy homeowners say ↓
Common questions
Roofing in Katy, Answered
Do I really need a hail-impact-resistant roof in Katy?
Yes. Katy takes hail off the prairie every spring and hurricane wind off the Gulf most summers. A standard shingle bruises under hail large enough to dent your gutters; a UL 2218 Class 4 shingle takes a two-inch steel ball without cracking. On an approved claim we install GAF Timberline UHDZ, which is Class 4, as standard at no upgrade cost. TDI states Class 4 receives the highest premium credit of the four classes, set by each insurer.
How do I know if my Katy roof needs repair or replacement?
Localized damage — a leak, a few shingles, one flashing — is a repair, from $195. Fifteen years or older, multiple leak points, serious hail or Beryl damage, or soft decking usually means replacement, $8,000 to $20,000. The inspection tells you which, free.
Do you offer free roof inspections in Katy?
Yes. Across all four ZIPs — 77449, 77450, 77493, 77494 — with every slope photographed and no hammer carried onto the roof. Photographs of everything we find are yours whether or not any work follows.
Do you help with hurricane and hail insurance claims in Katy?
We inspect, photograph, write the scope and meet your adjuster on the roof. We do not file, negotiate or advise on coverage — that is licensed public-adjuster work, and a Texas roofer cannot do it. On an approved claim the roof is GAF Timberline UHDZ with the Golden Pledge warranty: 30 years, non-prorated, at no upgrade cost.
Which Katy communities do you serve?
All four ZIPs. North and west Katy — Cane Island, Elyson, Sunterra, Katy Heights, Katyland, Williamsburg and the Morton Road corridor — is covered here. South of I-10, Cinco Ranch, Kelliwood, Seven Meadows, Grand Lakes and Westheimer Lakes have their own page. Same crews, same prices. Cinco Ranch → Katy spans Harris, Fort Bend and Waller counties and we work all three.
Do you understand Katy HOA architectural requirements?
Yes. Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Cane Island, Elyson and the other master-planned communities require approval before the roof changes color or material. We know which colors each board has approved before, which metal profiles pass as shingle, and what the review needs. That is the difference between a two-week job and a six-week one.
Do you offer roof financing in Katy?
Yes. Two bank lenders, subject to credit approval: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. with 18 months same as cash or 8.99% APR over 70 months, and Service Finance (a Truist company) with 9.99% over 120 or 180 months and a plan with six months of no payments. Every rate is published, with a payment calculator, on our roof financing page. Nothing upfront either way.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Katy?
$8,000 to $20,000 for a typical Katy home, across four packages at $350 to $650 per square. First five sheets of decking included, $75 a sheet after. Nothing upfront — 50% when the crew arrives, 50% on completion.
How fast can you reach a leak in Katy?
2 to 4 hours, 365 days a year, no out-of-hours surcharge. Katy humidity turns an attic leak into mold within days, so we tarp first and repair once the roof is dry.
