When you live right on the water, your roof doesn’t just need to look good — it needs to perform. That was exactly the case for this beautiful two-story brick home in Atascocita, TX, perched on the edge of Lake Houston.
The homeowners contacted us at STX Roofing with two clear goals: upgrade their curb appeal and ensure their home stayed protected from the unique challenges of lakeside living.
A Roof That Works as Hard as It Looks
This property had a lot going for it — a gorgeous lake view, mature trees offering shade, and strong brick architecture. But the original residential roof had aged out of its prime and was showing signs of wear. With its steep pitches, multiple valleys, and complex design, this roof required more than a standard replacement.
It needed expert attention to detail.
More importantly, its lakeside location meant it was constantly exposed to elevated humidity, wind, and the occasional tropical storm. These elements can speed up wear and tear on roofing materials if they’re not installed properly or if the system isn’t designed with local conditions in mind.
The STX Approach: Detail, Durability, and Design
We began by removing the old roofing system and inspecting the decking underneath to ensure the structure was still solid. From there, we installed a new asphalt shingle roof using architectural-style shingles — a smart, stylish choice for homes in this climate. These shingles offer enhanced thickness and durability, which helps them stand up to the moisture and wind common along Lake Houston.
Given the roof’s complex shape, we took extra care sealing valleys and transitions to prevent any chance of leaks. We also made improvements to the drainage and attic ventilation systems — two areas that are often overlooked but make a big difference in long-term performance, especially in a humid environment like Atascocita.
The finished result is more than a new roof — it’s an investment in the longevity and value of the home. And it looks incredible against the backdrop of the lake.
Designed for This View — and This Climate
Living by the water comes with perks: the peaceful views, the breezes, the space. But it also means you need a roofing system that’s ready to stand up to nature.
We’re proud of how this project turned out because it checks all the boxes: improved protection, enhanced curb appeal, and a roof that blends beautifully with its surroundings.
If you’re in the Atascocita or Lake Houston area and your home is due for a roof replacement, we’d be happy to help. We know the climate, the codes, and the craftsmanship it takes to build roofs that last here.
