Huntsville & Walker County, Texas
Storm-ready roofs for East Texas homes, from in-town Huntsville to lake houses and rural acreage
Roofing Huntsville TX is a roofing contractor based on Sam Houston Ave in Huntsville, TX that repairs, replaces and inspects roofs across Walker County. We work in ZIP codes 77340, 77320 and 77342, and in nearby New Waverly, Riverside, Willis and the Lake Livingston area.
Huntsville sits in the Piney Woods of East Texas, where tall pines mean falling limbs and needle-clogged gutters are a fact of life, and where spring brings severe thunderstorms with damaging wind and hail. Summers are hot and humid, which speeds up shingle wear and algae growth on shaded roofs, and the remnants of Gulf storms can bring heavy, sustained rain that finds every weak spot in a roof.
That's why every job starts with an honest inspection and photos, not a sales pitch. We show you what we find, explain the fix in plain language, and give you a price in writing. Sometimes that's a repair. Sometimes it's a full replacement. Either way, you decide with the evidence in front of you.
We work on in-town homes near Sam Houston State University, rural properties on wooded acreage, and lake houses around Lake Livingston in Onalaska, Point Blank and Coldspring. Our office is on Sam Houston Ave, close to I-45, so we reach most of Walker County and the surrounding area quickly.
Every service has its own page with costs, materials, and the towns we serve.
Four forces shorten roof life here. Knowing which one hit your roof tells you what to fix.
Pine trees
Tall pines drop limbs in storms and shed needles year-round, clogging valleys and gutters and holding moisture against the roof surface.
Spring storms
Spring brings East Texas its most volatile weather: large hail, damaging straight-line wind and the occasional tornado watch.
Gulf storms
Remnants of Gulf tropical systems can drop heavy rain over many hours, testing every weak point in flashing and worn shingles.
Humidity
Hot, humid summers speed up algae growth on shaded, north-facing roof sections and accelerate granule loss on aging shingles.
After a hailstorm or high-wind event, a free roof inspection catches damage while it's still a small repair. If wind or hail caused it, our storm damage roofing team documents it for your adjuster.
When hail or high wind hits your roof, damage often isn't obvious from the ground. Bruised shingle mats and knocked-loose granules can look fine until a leak shows up months later. We inspect closely, photograph every damaged area, and document it for your insurance claim.

Book a storm inspectionHomes around Lake Livingston and rural acreage properties often go unchecked for years between inspections. Combined with heavy pine cover and seasonal use, that means storm damage and slow leaks can go unnoticed. We inspect thoroughly and document everything for owners who aren't on-site full time.
We work on homes in Onalaska, Point Blank and Coldspring.
Texas has no statewide roofing license requirement, and there's no single statewide building code for residential roofing permits. Inside Huntsville city limits, a re-roof typically needs a permit through the city's building department; unincorporated Walker County and the surrounding rural counties (Trinity, San Jacinto, Polk, Madison) each set their own rules, and many rural areas have minimal or no permit requirement for a straightforward re-roof.
We confirm what applies to your specific address and pull any required permit before work begins.
Typical ranges for local homes. Your price depends on roof size, pitch, layers to remove and material, and is set in writing after the inspection.

|---|---|---|
| Roof repair | $300 – $1,300 | Leak source, flashing work, roof height and access |
| Emergency tarping | $275 – $800 | Size of the opening, pitch, time of day |
| Shingle roof replacement | $7,000 – $15,500 | Square footage, pitch, old layers, decking |
| Metal roof | $11,000 – $22,000 | Panel type, roof size, trim and flashing detail |
| Seamless gutters | $1,000 – $3,000 | Linear feet, downspouts, guards |

No, Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license. We carry general liability insurance and can discuss voluntary RCAT registration if that matters to you.
