Roofing Contractor in Porter, TX
Porter has two kinds of roofs. There are older homes on big, wooded lots, and there are brand-new builds going up along I-69 and the Grand Parkway. Each one has its own problems. A good roofing contractor in Porter knows the difference and prices the job to match. Here’s how we handle both.
STX Roofing is a veteran-owned roofer based in Huffman, about 12 miles from Porter. We’ve been in business since 2016. We handle roof repair, full replacement, attic ventilation, gutters, and storm damage across northeast Montgomery County.

Trees, Wind, and Porter Roofs
This part of Montgomery County is pine country. That’s a big part of why people move here. It also means limbs, needles, and whole trees can end up on your roof when the wind gets rough.
Hurricane Beryl showed how much damage trees can do. After Beryl made landfall in July 2024, the Texas A&M Forest Service estimated that hurricane-force winds reached about half of the Houston area’s urban tree cover. The agency found that yard and street trees took the worst of it, and soaked soil made whole trees more likely to fall. It also closed W.G. Jones State Forest in nearby Conroe because of tree damage. So the trees closest to your house deserve the most attention.
When a tree hits a roof, the damage is often worse than it looks from the yard. Rafters can crack and decking can split under shingles that still look fine. We check the structure, not just the surface, and show you what we find.
Older Homes vs. New Builds in Porter
In Porter Heights and along the roads off FM 1314, many homes sit on large lots with mature trees. Older roofs out here may carry years of patch jobs. Some have ventilation that was never set up right. When we replace one, we check every sheet of decking and swap out any that’s soft.
Newer neighborhoods like Woodridge Forest and the homes near Valley Ranch are a different story. Most are still on their first roof. The common issues there are nail pops, lifted shingles after wind, and hot attics. Good attic ventilation helps shingles last longer and keeps upstairs rooms cooler in August.
You can see this on a recent job. Read about a Porter roof replacement that included attic fans to see how we handled it.
What to Check After a Storm Blows Through
Once the wind dies down and it’s safe to go outside, walk around the house and look for:
- Limbs or whole trees resting on the roof
- Shingles in the yard or tabs folded back on the roof
- Dents or bends in gutters and downspouts
- Water stains or dripping inside, especially near exterior walls
- Sagging spots in the roofline
Take photos from the ground. Don’t climb onto a wet or damaged roof. If you see any of these, call us for an inspection before you file a claim. That way you know what you’re dealing with.
How We Help With Storm Claims
Insurance work isn’t most of what we do, but we know how it goes. Our approach is simple. We inspect the roof first and tell you honestly if the damage looks like a claim. If you file, we’ll meet your adjuster on site and point out what we found.
After that, you’re in charge of the decision. We give you a detailed estimate and you choose how to move forward. Our insurance claim help page explains more.
What We Do for Porter Homeowners
We work on most roof types in Porter, including:
- Architectural and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles
- Standing seam metal, stone-coated steel, and Euroshield roofs
- Clay and concrete tile
- Custom-fit gutters and gutter guards
- Soffit, fascia, and skylight work
For a full tear-off, see our roof replacement service. For wind, limb, or tree damage, our storm damage roof repair page explains how we document damage before any work starts.
We never reuse old pipe jacks, vents, or flashing on a new roof. Those small parts cause a lot of leaks. If they’re worn out, they get replaced with the rest of the system.
Gutters and Wooded Lots
Trees and gutters don’t get along. Pine needles mat together, block downspouts, and send water over the edge right next to your foundation. Clogged gutters can also push water back under the first row of shingles.
We install custom-fit gutters sized for your roof and your yard. On lots with heavy tree cover, we often pair them with gutter guards. If your fascia boards are soft from years of overflow, we replace those first so the new gutters have something solid to hold onto.
Not sure your gutters are the problem? Watch them during the next hard rain. If water sheets over the front edge instead of flowing to the downspouts, they need attention.
Why Porter Homeowners Call STX as Their Porter Roofing Contractor
Our owner, Russell Mullin, served in the U.S. Air Force and later worked as an insurance adjuster. He has more than 12 years in roofing. That background helps when a storm claim gets confusing. We can inspect the damage, meet your adjuster on site, and explain what the carrier is looking at.
Here’s what else you get:
- GAF Master Elite and CertainTeed ShingleMaster certifications
- A lifetime labor warranty on qualifying home roofs, backed by Directorii
- Detailed estimates, so you know what you’re getting
- Estimates without an appointment, and same-day estimates when you need them
- An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau
Price is often the first question. We’d rather give you a clear, honest estimate than the lowest number. See our residential roofing services for the full list of what we do.

Porter Roofing FAQs
Do you work in Woodridge Forest and Oakhurst?
Yes. We serve Woodridge Forest, Oakhurst, Porter Heights, Cumberland, Valley Ranch, and the rest of Porter.
A tree fell on my roof. What should I do first?
Get everyone out of the rooms under the damage. Stay off the roof. Then call us and your insurance company. We can tarp the opening to stop water from getting in and check the framing underneath.
How soon can you get to Porter after a storm?
Usually the same day. Porter is about 12 miles from our Huffman office.
Do you offer financing for a new roof?
Yes. We offer financing options for qualifying projects, and you can pay early with no penalty.
Do you give discounts?
Yes. We offer discounts for military members, first responders, seniors, and educators.
Do you install metal roofs in Porter?
Yes. We install standing seam metal, stone-coated steel, and Euroshield roofs. We’ll help you compare them with shingles based on your home, your trees, and your budget. We also repair older metal roofs. Leaks often come from worn or loose screws, and swapping in new fasteners can fix the problem without a new roof.
