Roofing in Northwest Houston

The roofing contractor on 249, not a truck from out of town

Northwest Houston is where Shultz Roofing & Construction is based. The office is at 17350 State Highway 249, Suite 220, between Beltway 8 and FM 1960. That matters after a storm, when crews with out-of-state plates set up in the Willowbrook parking lots and start knocking. Ours is the address on the sign and the one you can drive to a year later if something comes up.

The homes here were built in waves: Jersey Village and the older Champions streets in the 1960s and 70s, Lakewood Forest and Copperfield through the 80s, then the Cypress and Klein subdivisions that filled in through the 90s and 2000s. A lot of those roofs are on their second or third life. The inspection tells you which: we walk every slope, photograph everything we find, and send you the pictures whether or not you hire us.

What northwest Houston roofs deal with

Heat first. South- and west-facing slopes bake, and three-tab shingles from the 90s lose their granules there before anywhere else. Then wind: straight-line gusts lift ridge caps and the first course above the gutters, and the leak shows up a month later at the ceiling. Hail comes through some springs and not others; when it does, the soft metals tell the story before the shingles do, so we check gutters, vents and AC fins on every inspection. Mature oaks and pines in Lakewood Forest, Champions and Klein keep shaded slopes damp, and that is where moss and lifted shingles start.

Services that matter most here

• Roof repair. Lifted ridge caps, cracked pipe boots, valley leaks and wind-creased shingles on roofs that have years left in them.
• Roof replacement. Full tear-off and a complete system when the shingles are done. Ask about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles; some carriers offer a premium discount, and your agent can tell you if yours does.
• Storm damage. Dated photos of the damage, emergency tarping, a construction estimate and the adjuster meeting on site. We document; the coverage decision is your insurer's.
• Siding and gutters. Hail dents gutters, downspouts and vents, and those usually get documented under the same claim.
• Commercial and multifamily. Strip centers along 1960 and 249, offices and apartment communities with low-slope sections.

Dispatch and drive time

This is the shortest drive of any area we serve, because it is where the drive starts. Willowbrook, Champions and Jersey Village are minutes from the office; Copperfield, Cypress and Klein are a short run out 290, 1960 or 249. After a storm we block inspections by street so neighbors can be seen the same day. Many subdivisions here have an HOA that reviews roof color and material; we supply the product data for the application.
