They found the leak in twenty minutes after two other companies had "sealed" the wrong thing and charged me for it. It was a pipe boot on the opposite side of the ridge from the stain. $520 and it has been dry through two seasons.

Showed up forty minutes late on the first morning, which annoyed me, but Dwayne rang ahead to say so and knocked a hundred off. Roof went on in a day and a half, yard was cleaner than they found it, and the windstorm certificate came through about three weeks later exactly like he said it would. I would use them again.

Honest people. Told me my roof had four or five years left and did not need replacing, which is not what the two storm-chasers who knocked on my door after Beryl told me.

Why people call
Not hypotheticals. These are the six things Rosharon homeowners call us about after they have already gone wrong, in the order we hear them.
Why choose us
Everything is priced line by line before a shingle moves: squares, pitch, tear-off layers, decking per sheet, flashing, vents, disposal. Decking is the one nobody can predict from the ground, so it is quoted per sheet in advance rather than discovered as leverage halfway through.
Enrolling the job, hitting the code, and getting the WPI-8 issued is not an extra. It is the difference between a roof that keeps your TWIA coverage intact and one that quietly voids the thing you bought it for.
TDI publishes windstorm certificates by address, so go look up the addresses. Texas has no state roofing licence, so we do not print a number, and anyone who does is printing something that is not one. Certificate of liability insurance available on request, and asking for it is a reasonable thing to do.
Who are we
Roofing Rosharon TX is a family-run roofing company working out of the 77583 since 2012, back when this stretch of FM 521 was mostly rice fields and Sierra Vista was a drawing. Residential and commercial, both.
Our services include roof replacement, roof repair and leak repair, storm and hail damage repair, emergency tarping, roof insurance claim documentation, windstorm inspection and WPI-8 certification, roof inspections, asphalt shingle roofing, metal roofing and standing seam, tile, slate and cedar shake, flat and low-slope roofing, commercial and industrial roofing, gutters, soffit and fascia, roof ventilation and underlayment, and annual roof maintenance.
Two trucks, a small crew that has been together a while, and a rule about Sundays: no same-day quotes, because that is when Dwayne services the trucks and nobody is in a fit state to measure a roof properly.
Service areas: Iowa Colony, Arcola, Manvel, Fresno, Sienna, Brookside Village, Pearland, Alvin, Missouri City, Damon, Angleton, Danbury, Liverpool, plus Sandy Point, Bonney, Hillcrest Village, Holiday Lakes, Bailey's Prairie, Silverlake and Shadow Creek Ranch. If your town is not on the list, ring anyway, it is probably still a yes.
Free roof inspection in Rosharon, and a written scope you can compare
Call and a roofer picks up. If nobody can, you get a call back the same day before 6pm, from a person rather than an autoresponder.
Call (281) 845-8668What we do
Fifteen things we do, what each one costs, and the warning sign that usually brings someone to it.
Shingles curling at the edges, bald patches where the granules used to be, and a roof that went on with the house in 2011? Roof replacement in Rosharon runs about $8,000 to $18,000 for a typical single-family home, and it is the job we do most.
Full tear-off down to the decking, every time. Nobody at this company will quote you an overlay on a Brazoria County house, because a second layer hides rotten decking and it disqualifies the windstorm certification your insurance may depend on. Bad decking gets cut out and replaced at a per-sheet price you see written down before we start, not after we find it.
Brown ring on the ceiling that only grows when the wind comes out of the south? That is almost never a hole in the field of the roof. Nine times in ten it is a cracked pipe boot, a lifted piece of step flashing, or a nail that backed out and worked a hole through the shingle above it.
Most Rosharon repairs land between $450 and $1,400. A pipe boot on its own is at the bottom of that. Chasing a leak into a valley on a two-storey Sierra Vista house is at the top, because half the labour is finding it.
One thing worth knowing out here: the Beaumont clay under this whole area moves. When a slab shifts, the roof geometry shifts with it, and the leak shows up where an addition meets the original roofline. Fixing the shingle without noticing the movement means you will call us again in eight months.
Beryl put a 97 mph gust into Brazoria County on July 8, 2024, and TWIA alone took 32,171 claims out of that storm. Wind damage on an asphalt roof rarely looks like a hole. It looks like creased tabs, a row of shingles that lifted and reseated crooked, and exposed nail heads along the rakes.
Free storm inspection, photographed, with the damage marked and dated. If there is nothing wrong up there you get told that, in writing, and you owe nothing. That happens more often than the door-knockers would like you to believe.
Water coming through the ceiling right now, at eleven at night, in August? Emergency roof tarping in Rosharon starts at $350 to $900 depending on how much roof needs covering and whether we can walk it safely in the dark.
Call the same number. It rings a phone in a truck, not a call centre in another state.
Adjuster came out, wrote a number, and it will not cover the job? Before you argue, check three things on your policy: the wind and hail deductible percentage, whether the roof is settled at actual cash value, and whether there is a roof payment schedule endorsement attached. Those three stack, and stacked is how a $22,000 roof becomes an $6,400 cheque.
Two percent is now the standard Texas wind and hail deductible. On a $400,000 Rosharon house that is $8,000 out of your pocket before the carrier pays anything.
Here is the part nobody advertises: under Texas House Bill 2102, a contractor who pays, waives, rebates or credits your deductible is committing a Class B misdemeanour. So is a homeowner who knowingly goes along with it. Anyone who offers is telling you exactly what kind of outfit they are.
Rosharon is roughly thirty miles from the water and it is still inside the Texas Department of Insurance designated catastrophe area. Brazoria County is one of the fourteen first-tier coastal counties, so a re-roof here is not just a re-roof.
TDI's own wording: additions, alterations, re-roofs or other repairs must comply with the required windstorm building codes to remain eligible for coverage through TWIA. Since April 1, 2026 that means the 2024 IRC and IBC as amended by TDI. If your roof goes on without the paperwork, the coverage is what breaks, and you find out at claim time.
Homes built before January 1, 1988 are exempt. Everything newer is not. This is the single most expensive thing Rosharon homeowners do not know, and it is why this page exists.
Buying a house off FM 521 and the seller says the roof is "about ten years old"? A proper inspection tells you the truth: layer count, decking condition from the attic side, nail pattern, ventilation, and whether there is a WPI-8 on file for the address.
Free for homeowners, $250 for a documented pre-purchase report with photographs and a remaining-life estimate you can hand to a lender.
Nine out of ten roofs around here are asphalt shingle, and the ones going on new now are architectural rather than three-tab. GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark and Owens Corning Duration are the three we install most, and the honest answer is that all three perform about the same in this climate when they are nailed correctly.
The nailing is the part that matters. Coastal Texas wants six nails per shingle, not four, and the nail has to land in the manufacturer's reinforced strip. A four-nail roof will pass a homeowner's glance and fail a windstorm inspection, and by then the shingles are already on your house.
Figure $400 to $600 per square installed for architectural shingle. A square is 100 square feet. Most Rosharon subdivision homes are 20 to 32 squares.
Standing seam metal roofing in Rosharon runs $800 to $1,400 per square installed, so roughly double a shingle roof. What you buy for the difference is a roof that will still be there in forty years and a fastener pattern with no exposed heads for wind to get under.
24 gauge Galvalume is the standard specification out on the acreage along CR 48. Exposed fastener R-panel is cheaper and it is fine on a barn, but the neoprene washers go brittle in this sun and you are re-screwing the whole roof at year twelve.
Metal is certifiable for windstorm the same as shingle, provided the panel and the clip system have a current TDI product evaluation. Ask for that number before you sign. Plenty of imported panel does not have one.
Concrete and clay tile shows up on the higher-end streets in Sienna and Shadow Creek, and it fails differently to shingle: the tile itself outlives everybody, and the underlayment beneath it rots out at year twenty-five while the roof still looks perfect from the kerb.
Synthetic slate such as DaVinci and composite shake are worth a look if you like the appearance but not the weight, and they carry wind ratings that certify cleanly.
Ponding water that is still sitting there forty-eight hours after the rain stopped is the warning sign on a low-slope roof, and it is the one everybody ignores until the ceiling tiles go.
TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen all have a place. TPO is what goes on most new low-slope work around here because the white membrane keeps the deck cooler, which matters when the surface temperature on a Rosharon roof in July is well past 150 degrees.
Warehouses along the SH-288 corridor, the metal buildings out on FM 521, church roofs, strip centres in Iowa Colony. Commercial work gets a different scope document with a phased option, because a business that cannot close for a week needs the roof done in sections.
Commercial structures insured through TWIA have to meet the TDI building standards too, and the maximum commercial limit is $4,424,000 as of January 2026. Worth knowing before you value-engineer the specification.
Water running down the wall instead of out the downspout, and a fascia board that gives when you push it. Undersized gutters are the norm on tract housing: builders fit five inch on a roof that generates six inch volume, then it overflows on every serious Gulf rain.
Seamless aluminium, formed on site. $9 to $16 per foot depending on size and whether the fascia behind it has to be rebuilt first.
Attic that reads 140 degrees in July and shingles that aged out five years early? That is a ventilation problem, not a shingle problem, and re-roofing without fixing it just resets the clock on the same failure.
Intake at the soffit has to balance exhaust at the ridge. Builders around here routinely cut ridge vent and then leave the soffit baffles blocked with insulation, so the roof breathes through nothing.
While the shingles are off is also the only cheap moment to upgrade the underlayment. Synthetic in the field, ice-and-water membrane in the valleys and around every penetration.
The cheapest roof work anybody does is the sealant at the penetrations, redone before it cracks rather than after. $225 for an annual visit: gutters cleared, boots and collars checked, sealant renewed, and photographs of anything starting to move.
Best done in May, before hurricane season, while the roof is dry and there is still time to fix what turns up.
How it works
Most people hesitate because they do not know whether they are about to get a salesman on the doorstep. Here is the whole sequence, so nothing is a surprise.
Where the house is, roughly when the roof went on, what you are seeing, and whether it is actively leaking right now. Actively leaking jumps the queue.
A person answers or calls you back before 6pm the same day. Not a chatbot, not a scheduling service in another state.
Somebody walks the roof, photographs what is there, and checks the attic side too, because half of what matters is not visible from on top. Free for homeowners.
You get a line-item scope by email: squares, pitch, materials by name and product line, decking per sheet if it is needed, and whether the job needs a WPI-8. No vague allowances, no pressure to sign in the driveway, and no expiring discount.
Tear-off and dry-in the same day, always. Magnet sweep of the drive and beds before the crew leaves, twice, because the first pass never gets everything.
Afterwards the windstorm inspection gets scheduled, the certificate comes through from TDI, and a copy goes to you and your agent. Manufacturer warranty registration happens at the same time.
Real job
Two-storey, 27 squares, 2013 builder-grade three-tab. The homeowner had been told by a door-knocker that the whole roof was totalled and by her carrier that nothing was wrong. Both were mistaken, in different directions.
Creased tabs across two full slopes on the south and west elevations, granules piled in the gutters deep enough to hold a footprint, and eleven shingles that had lifted and reseated out of line. Two pieces of decking had gone soft under a valley where water had been getting in for longer than the storm.
Full tear-off, four sheets of decking replaced, synthetic underlayment throughout with ice-and-water membrane in both valleys and around every penetration, and GAF Timberline HDZ laid to a six-nail coastal pattern. Ridge vent added, soffit baffles cleared so it could actually breathe.
Straight numbers
Almost nobody in this trade publishes a price, and the reason given is always that every roof is different. Every roof is different. A range is still more useful to you than "call for a free estimate", so here is ours.
| Work | Typical range | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Full replacement, architectural shingle | $8,000 to $18,000 | Squares of roof, pitch, storeys, how much decking has to come out |
| Per square installed, architectural shingle | $400 to $600 | Shingle line, tear-off layers, access for the dump trailer |
| Per square installed, standing seam metal | $800 to $1,400 | Gauge, panel width, number of penetrations to flash |
| Large or complex replacement | up to $28,000 | Steep pitch, tile, multiple valleys, three storeys |
| Leak repair, single point | $450 to $1,400 | Whether the leak is where the stain is, which it usually is not |
| Emergency tarping | $350 to $900 | Area covered, night call, whether the deck is safe to walk |
| Windstorm engineer inspection for the WPI-8 | $300 to $800 | Property size, whether TDI or a private appointed engineer does it |
Ranges collected July 2026 from Houston-metro contractor pricing guides and quotes in the 77583, 77578 and 77583 area. A roofing square is 100 square feet; most Rosharon subdivision homes are 20 to 32 squares.
What pushes a job toward the top of the range, in order of how often it does: how many sheets of decking have to come out, pitch steep enough that the crew has to rope up, storeys, and the number of penetrations that need flashing. A simple single-storey 22-square roof off CR 48 lands near the bottom. A cut-up two-storey in Sienna with four valleys and a chimney lands near the top.
Brazoria County homeowners are moving onto TWIA fast, because the private carriers are pulling back. TWIA's share of the residential wind and hail market in this county, measured by insured exposure, went up twelve points in two years.
| County | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galveston | 68% | 73% | 75% |
| Brazoria (us) | 39% | 47% | 51% |
| Jefferson | 49% | 55% | 59% |
| Nueces | 46% | 52% | 54% |
| Harris (catastrophe area only) | 42% | 48% | 52% |
| Whole 14-county catastrophe area | 47% | 53% | 55% |
Texas Department of Insurance Residential Property Statistical Plan data, measured by insured exposures for dwelling and contents.
Brazoria County is now TWIA's second-largest exposure in the state at $25.39 billion of insurance in force, 20% of the whole book, behind only Galveston. More than half of the houses around you are now insured by an association that requires a windstorm certificate on your re-roof. That is the single reason this site talks about paperwork as much as it talks about shingles.

Not sure whether you need a repair, a replacement or just an honest look?
That is what the free inspection is for. Plenty of them end with us telling you the roof is fine and to call back in three years.

Replace the roof when the damage is spread across more than about a third of the surface, or when the shingles are past roughly 80 percent of their rated life. Repair it when the problem is one identifiable point of failure on an otherwise sound roof. The reliable test is not how bad the stain looks inside, it is what the shingle does when you lift a tab: if it snaps rather than bends, the asphalt has given up its oils and patching it is money spent on a roof that is leaving anyway. Age matters more than appearance in this climate, because Gulf Coast UV ages a roof faster than the shingle warranty assumes.
Wind-driven leaks come from a failure that water cannot reach in vertical rain but can reach when rain arrives sideways. Usually that is step flashing at a wall, a lifted shingle edge on the windward slope, or a ridge vent whose external baffle has been damaged. It is one of the most useful things you can tell a roofer, so make a note of the wind direction next time it happens, and the diagnosis gets much faster.
A missing certificate on a house built between January 1, 1988 and June 19, 2009 puts the property in TWIA's noncompliant category, which is insurable but carries a 15% surcharge on the policy. For work done after that, the practical fix is a post-construction evaluation: a TDI-appointed Texas licensed professional engineer inspects the completed work, files a sealed report, and TDI issues a certificate if it meets code. That costs more than doing it in the right order and sometimes it cannot be done at all, because nobody can see the nailing pattern under a finished roof.
A certified new roof can earn a TWIA building code credit worth 19% to 33% of the wind premium, depending on where the property sits and which code it meets. That is a real number, not a marketing one, and it is recorded on the certificate itself. The credit is one of the better arguments against the cheapest uncertified quote on your kitchen table, because the discount compounds every year the roof is up there and the cheap quote earns none of it.
The best window in Rosharon is roughly February to May, before hurricane season and before the deck temperatures make afternoon work miserable and slow. Shingles seal fastest in warm weather, so a winter install takes longer to bond down, and a July install means the crew starts at first light and stops at two. Add the county's twenty-business-day permit window to whatever you plan.
A standing seam metal roof lasts roughly forty to sixty years against fifteen to twenty-five for asphalt shingle in Gulf Coast conditions, so on a house you intend to keep it costs less per year despite costing more today. The other half of the answer is wind: a concealed-clip standing seam system has no exposed fasteners for wind to work under, which is why it certifies well. On a house you plan to sell in five years the arithmetic does not work, and there is no shame in a good shingle roof.
Have a doubt
Yes, if you carry or want TWIA wind and hail coverage and the house was built on or after January 1, 1988. Brazoria County is one of the fourteen first-tier coastal counties in the Texas Department of Insurance designated catastrophe area, and TDI states that re-roofs must comply with the required windstorm building codes to remain eligible for coverage through TWIA. The same rule applies to a re-roof in Manvel or anywhere else in the county, whichever city issues the building permit.
A full asphalt shingle replacement on a typical Rosharon single-family home costs $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026. Big or complicated roofs reach $28,000. Per square it is $400 to $600 for architectural shingle and $800 to $1,400 for standing seam metal, where a square is 100 square feet. The table further up this page breaks that out, and the full cost guide has a calculator in it.
No. Texas House Bill 2102 makes it a Class B misdemeanour for a contractor to pay, waive, rebate or credit your insurance deductible, punishable by up to $2,000 and up to 180 days in jail, and a homeowner who knowingly participates is exposed as well. It reaches absorbing the deductible inside the estimate, gift cards, cash back and "free roof" advertising. After Beryl the BBB was fielding scam reports almost as fast as the storm moved through, and the deductible pitch is the reliable tell.
Rosharon is unincorporated, so county rather than city rules apply, and Brazoria County runs residential building permits through the Floodplain office at 111 E. Locust St. in Angleton on 979-849-5711. Two practical details the county publishes and nobody plans around: allow up to 20 business days, and they take cash, check or money order only, no cards. Cross into Iowa Colony and it is a city department with its own timetable instead.
Structures built before January 1, 1988 are not required to have a WPI-8 for TWIA coverage. There is a middle group too: homes built on or after that date and before June 19, 2009 that never went through the inspection process can still be covered, but the policy carries a 15 percent surcharge. A lot of the older acreage stock around Damon sits in the exempt bracket, while almost every subdivision house on the 288 corridor does not.
It can, substantially. TWIA applies building code credits of 19 to 33 percent depending on where the risk sits and which building code the structure meets, and those credits are recorded on the WPI-8 certificate TDI issues. A roof that goes on without certification earns nothing, which is the quiet cost of the cheap uncertified quote. Worth asking your agent to price both ways before you decide, especially on the newer builds around Pearland where the credit applies to a bigger premium.
One to two days on site for most Rosharon houses. Tear-off and dry-in happen the same day, always, because leaving a deck open overnight in Gulf Coast weather is how a roof job turns into a drywall job. Add a day for steep pitch, tile, or significant decking replacement. The windstorm inspection is scheduled separately and does not hold up the work.
Texas does not licence roofers at state level, so there is no licence number to check, which is exactly why the fake ones print impressive-looking numbers. Two registries do exist. TDI publishes every windstorm certificate ever issued, searchable by address, at the WPI-8 search, so you can look up whether a company's claimed jobs actually got certified. And the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas runs a voluntary licensing programme with real requirements behind it: two years in Texas, a fixed business address, $300,000 general liability for residential work, and exams at 70 percent or better.
Service area
Based in Rosharon, working a thirty-minute radius: north into Fort Bend as far as Missouri City and Sienna, east through Manvel to Pearland and Alvin, south to Angleton, Danbury and Liverpool, and west out to Damon. Beyond that the drive stops making sense and you are better served by somebody closer.
