Understanding Houston's Unique Roofing Challenges

Harris County sits in one of the most challenging climates for roofing in the entire United States. Our proximity to the Gulf of Mexico means we experience everything from Category 4 hurricanes to daily summer thunderstorms that can drop inches of rain in minutes. The flat terrain and extensive development create flash flooding conditions that can compromise roof structures from below while wind and rain attack from above.

Houston's extreme humidity presents another constant battle for homeowners. With average humidity levels hovering around 75%, roofs in Harris County are prime breeding grounds for moss, algae, and mold growth. These organisms don't just look bad - they actively deteriorate shingles and can work their way under roofing materials, causing leaks and structural damage.

The region's expansive clay soils add yet another complication. As these soils swell during wet periods and shrink during droughts, they cause foundation movement that can stress roof structures and create gaps where water intrudes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answering your questions about roofing in Harris County.

What wind rating should my roof have in Harris County?

For Harris County, we recommend roofing systems rated for at least 110 mph winds, though 130 mph or higher is ideal given our hurricane exposure. Post-Harvey building codes require enhanced fastening patterns and underlayment. FORTIFIED certification provides the highest level of protection and can qualify you for insurance discounts.

How do I know if my roof has hurricane damage?

Look for missing or lifted shingles, granule loss in gutters, dented metal components, and water stains on ceilings. However, much hurricane damage is hidden - compromised nail seals, cracked underlayment, and loosened flashing may not be visible from the ground. We recommend a professional inspection after any significant storm, especially if you experienced winds over 60 mph.

Why does my roof have black streaks?

Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma, a type of blue-green algae that thrives in Houston's humid climate. While it's primarily a cosmetic issue, heavy growth can retain moisture and accelerate shingle deterioration. When replacing your roof, we recommend algae-resistant shingles that contain copper granules to prevent this common Houston problem.
