Roofing Contractor in Midtown Houston
Midtown is where Houston lives close together. Townhomes share walls, condos share roofs, and apartment buildings sit a block from the rail line. When a roof fails here, it can affect your neighbors too. That’s why picking the right roofing contractor in Midtown matters. You want someone who plans for the whole building, not just one roof.
STX Roofing is veteran-owned and has served the Houston area since 2016. We work on townhomes, condo buildings, apartment communities, and commercial roofs. We handle both pitched shingle roofs and flat membrane roofs.

Midtown's Roofs Are Hitting Middle Age
The neighborhood’s big rebuild started in the mid-1990s, when the city set up a tax zone to fund new growth. Much of the housing you see today went up in the years after that. That means many Midtown roofs are likely 20 years old or more by now.
Shingles at that age start to lose granules and curl at the edges. Flat roofs show it in other ways. Seams open up, water ponds after rain, and the membrane gets brittle. Catching these signs early usually costs far less than waiting for a leak to show up on a ceiling.
Townhomes, HOAs, and Shared Roofs
Many Midtown townhome and condo communities have their own HOA. In some, the HOA is in charge of the roof. In others, each owner handles their own. Check your documents before you call a roofer so you know who has to approve the work.
Rows of townhomes often share one long roofline. A repair on one unit has to tie into the units next to it. We plan for those tie-ins so your fix doesn’t create a leak next door.
Tall, narrow townhomes also have lots of small roof sections, walls, and parapets. Every place a roof meets a wall needs good flashing. That’s where we look first.
Flat Roofs on Condos, Apartments, and Shops
Most of Midtown’s larger buildings have flat or low-slope roofs. Our flat roof services cover repair, recover, and full replacement. We install TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems. Most flat roof problems start small. A seam that opens a little this year can let in a lot more water next year.
For apartment and condo buildings, see our multi-family roofing page. We plan the work around the people who live there. For shops, restaurants, and offices, our commercial roofing services page has more detail.
Dense blocks trap heat. A dark roof soaks up the sun and pushes cooling bills up. Light-colored membranes like white TPO reflect more of that heat. The Cool Roof Rating Council keeps a free directory of tested roof products, so you can compare how much heat each one reflects.
Signs of Flat Roof Trouble
Flat roofs don’t show wear the way shingles do. From the roof hatch or a neighbor’s window, look for:
- Puddles that stay long after the rain stops
- Bubbles or blisters in the membrane
- Seams that are lifting or open at the edges
- Cracked caulk or loose metal on parapet walls
- Stains on top-floor ceilings near exterior walls
Parapet walls deserve extra attention. Those short walls around a flat roof have caps and flashing that wear out. A leak at the parapet can show up two floors down.
Roof Maintenance for HOAs and Building Owners
A roof that gets checked once a year usually lasts longer than one that gets ignored. We offer annual maintenance plans for homes and commercial buildings. We clear drains, check seams and flashing, and fix small problems before they turn into leaks.
For HOA boards, a yearly check also makes budgeting easier. You’ll know which roofs are aging fastest and can plan replacements ahead of time. Learn more about commercial roof maintenance.
Storm Damage in the Urban Core
On May 16, 2024, a derecho sent gusts near 100 mph through parts of the Houston area. Hurricane Beryl followed that July. Storms like these can peel back membrane edges and lift shingles.
Our storm damage roof repair team inspects and explains the damage before any work starts. Our owner, Russell Mullin, is a former insurance adjuster and an Air Force veteran. He knows what carriers and HOA boards need to see. One property manager who uses us pointed to our thorough reports and fast replies.
Rooftop Decks and Equipment
A lot of Midtown townhomes have a rooftop deck. They’re great for skyline views, but they add weight and foot traffic to the roof below. Deck posts and railings also cut through the waterproofing, and each one needs a good seal.
Condo and apartment roofs carry HVAC units, vents, and pipes. Every one of those needs flashing or a sealed curb. When a top-floor unit reports a leak, the source is often one of these spots, not the middle of the roof.
Finding that source takes patience. Our roof leak detection service traces water back to where it gets in. That way you fix the real problem once instead of patching the wrong spot twice.

Midtown Roofing FAQs
Do you work with townhome HOAs in Midtown?
Yes. We work with individual owners and with HOA boards. Our detailed estimates make it easier for a board to review and approve the work.
Can you repair one townhome in a shared roofline?
Yes. We tie the repair into the units next to yours so the roofline stays watertight.
What kind of flat roof do you install?
We install TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen. The right choice depends on the building, how the roof is used, and your budget.
Do you need a permit to reroof in Midtown?
Yes. Midtown is inside Houston city limits, so a residential reroof needs a city permit and inspection.
Do you have Spanish-speaking staff?
Yes. Our team speaks English and Spanish.
Do you offer maintenance plans for HOAs?
Yes. We offer annual roof maintenance plans. We clear drains, check seams and flashing, and give the board a clear picture of each roof’s condition.
Is a roof inspection free?
Yes, for homeowners. We charge for inspections tied to a real estate sale, and that fee goes toward any repairs we do.
Can you find a leak coming through a top-floor ceiling?
Yes. We trace the water back to where it enters, which is often a curb, a vent, or a parapet wall. Then we fix that spot instead of guessing.
