When you’re living in Southeast Texas, your roof isn’t just part of your home’s look — it’s your first line of defense.
That’s why we take roof replacements seriously, especially in places like Crosby, TX, where hot sun, heavy rain, and the occasional Gulf storm put residential roofing to the test.
For this two-story home in a tightly packed Crosby neighborhood, the stakes were high: protect the property, boost curb appeal, and ensure the new roof would hold up for years to come.
Our team was ready to deliver.
Working Around a Tricky Setup
From the outside, this project might look straightforward — but the roofline told a different story. The home featured a hipped roof with multiple ridges, which meant every asphalt shingle had to be aligned with precision to maintain both appearance and function.
Ventilation was another concern, especially with such a complex structure. Proper airflow is essential to prevent moisture buildup in the attic and to help with energy efficiency in hot climates like Crosby’s.
What made things more complex was the homeowner’s large, metal patio cover extending from the back of the house. It was a great outdoor living space — and one we didn’t want to disturb.
We had to navigate equipment placement and roof access with extra caution to protect the patio below.
From Worn Out to Weather-Ready
The original roof was showing its age. While not visibly failing, the wear and tear was undeniable. It had likely been through its share of storms, and the homeowner was ready for peace of mind.
We began with a full tear-off of the old shingles, taking care to protect the surrounding property and avoid debris falling onto the patio cover.
Once the deck was inspected and prepped, we installed a brand-new roofing system using architectural asphalt shingles in a multi-tone gray finish — a durable and attractive option that works well with the home’s exterior and complements other houses in the neighborhood.
We also upgraded the ventilation system, re-installing roof vents to promote airflow and help the attic stay cool and dry.
The result? A seamless, upgraded look that’s as functional as it is attractive.
Built for Crosby’s Climate
Texas weather doesn’t hold back, and roofs in this area need to be able to handle it all — from baking summer heat to sudden downpours. The materials we used are built for durability and weather resistance, but it’s the craftsmanship that makes the difference.
By paying attention to every detail, especially on a roof as geometrically complex as this one, we’ve given the homeowner a roof that’s not only built to last but built to perform.
This project also stands as a great example of our ability to work within tight neighborhoods. Homes in Crosby are often built close together, which can make equipment placement and waste removal tricky.
But with careful planning and experience, our crew completed the job cleanly and on time.
