Richmond, TX Roofing Contractor for Old Homes and New
From 1920s bungalows near downtown Richmond to new builds in Pecan Grove, Jerry handles the job without the runaround.
Why Richmond Is Different
Roofing in Richmond is its own animal.
Richmond is the Fort Bend County seat and one of the oldest towns in the Houston area, and that history shows up on the roofline. Downtown Richmond and the older streets around the courthouse have homes dating back to the 1920s and 30s — some with original shiplap decking under layers of asphalt shingle, some with wood shake conversions, and plenty with rot and sag that a quick drive-by would miss. Step a few miles out and you are in Pecan Grove Plantation, a 1980s and 90s master-planned community where the roofs are now 25 to 40 years old and most are on their second or third replacement.
Keep going west and you hit the newer subdivisions along FM 762 and Grand Parkway — Aliana, Harvest Green, Veranda — where the roofs are 2 to 10 years old and still under manufacturer warranty. No other city in our service area has this kind of spread, and it matters because the right roof for a 1930s pier-and-beam bungalow is not the right roof for a 2022 production build. Richmond also sits at the southern edge of the Katy hail belt, catches gulf humidity year-round, and takes direct tropical storm exposure from systems moving up from Matagorda Bay.
The tree canopy downtown is dense, which means constant debris in valleys and gutters — and Pecan Grove is named for a reason. We work on every kind of Richmond roof, and we do not upsell you into something your house does not need.
What We See In Richmond
Roofing problems unique
to Richmond homes.
Based on actual jobs across Richmond.
Rotted decking on pre-1950 downtown homes
Original 1x6 shiplap decking in older Richmond homes has taken 80+ years of Gulf Coast humidity, and sections near the eaves and valleys are often soft or fully rotted. You only find it once the old shingles come off, and it has to be replaced before new roofing goes down.
Aging roofs in Pecan Grove Plantation
Most Pecan Grove homes are on their original 1990s builder shingles or a first replacement from the 2000s. These roofs are well past their service life, and insurance carriers are increasingly denying claims and issuing non-renewal notices until the roof is replaced.
Storm debris clogging valleys under heavy tree cover
Pecan and live oak debris piles up fast in Richmond roof valleys. Water backs up under the shingles, finds any weak spot in the underlayment, and rots the decking from above.
Improperly lapped flashing on additions
A lot of older Richmond homes have add-on rooms, sunrooms, and converted porches where the flashing was never properly step-lapped into the original wall. Those transitions are the single most common leak source on older Richmond homes.
Hail damage on exposed FM 762 corridor homes
Newer Richmond subdivisions along FM 762 and the Grand Parkway sit in open country with no wind break. Spring hail events hit them harder than downtown homes, and claim rates in those zip codes run well above county average.
Chimney flashing and masonry cap failures
Richmond has a lot of brick chimneys from the 80s and 90s whose crown mortar has cracked and whose flashing has pulled loose. Water runs down the inside of the flue and stains ceilings. We reseal and reflash whenever we replace those roofs.

Richmond FAQ
Questions Richmond homeowners ask.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Richmond, TX?+
Richmond roof replacements generally run $8,000 to $20,000. Older downtown bungalows and Pecan Grove homes often cost more per square than they look because of decking repair, and new builds in Aliana or Harvest Green are usually at the lower end of the range. We give a firm price after we actually look at the roof.
My insurance company is threatening non-renewal because my Pecan Grove roof is old — what do I do?+
Move quickly. Carriers are dropping Richmond homeowners whose roofs are past 20 years old, and once the non-renewal is issued it is hard to get coverage without replacement. We do a free inspection, give you a real replacement quote, and can usually schedule within two weeks so your policy stays active.
Can you work on historic Richmond homes without damaging the original structure?+
Yes. Downtown Richmond homes from the 1920s and 30s need a crew that understands old shiplap decking, original fascia, and period trim. We tear off carefully, check every board before re-nailing, and replace only what is actually rotten.
Do you handle both the front-end inspection and the insurance claim in Richmond?+
Yes. We do a free pre-claim inspection, tell you honestly whether filing is worth it, and then meet your adjuster on the roof if you decide to file. That onsite meeting is the single biggest factor in getting claims approved correctly the first time.
Is Roof Rejoov a good fit for older Richmond homes?+
Only for roofs that are still structurally sound. If your Richmond roof is 12 to 18 years old, still watertight, and just looks tired or streaked, Roof Rejoov restores the asphalt and kills algae at a fraction of replacement cost. If the decking is rotten or shingles are failing, restoration is not the right answer.
