Questions About Roofs and Siding in Tomball

Short answers. Where a fact comes from a public office or the weather service, the linked page says which one.

Does this site do the roofing?

No. It passes your request to an independent roofing or siding contractor who works in the Tomball area. That contractor inspects, prices and does the work, and you deal with them directly.

Is one contractor called, or several?

One. Your details are not sent to a list of companies.

Does Texas license roofers?

No, and it does not license siding installers either. There is no state number to look up. Ask for a certificate of liability insurance, whether the crew is covered by workers’ comp, a local address, any manufacturer certification, and the warranty in writing. RCAT membership is a voluntary credential, not a license.

Will anyone here deal with my insurance company?

No. This site does not file, negotiate, adjust or settle claims with an insurer, and Texas law does not allow a roofing contractor to do those things for a homeowner either. Talk to your insurer and your agent directly about your policy.

Do I need a city permit?

Inside Tomball’s city limits, yes, for a re-roof: the city has a residential roofing permit with a $50 fee. Outside the limits, ask the Harris County engineer’s office. Magnolia and Waller have their own offices. See the permits page.

My address says Tomball. Am I in the city?

Not necessarily. Tomball mailing addresses reach into unincorporated Harris County, Lakewood Forest and Rosehill among them. The city’s Building Office, 281-290-1402, can tell you from the street address.

When is hail most likely?

In the National Weather Service entries for Tomball that we found, April stands out: 2-inch hail in 2015, 1.75-inch in 2020 and 1-inch in 2021. There is a May 2023 report just northeast of town too. The hail page lists them.

What can I check from the ground after a storm?

Dents in the gutters, downspouts, vent caps and any metal trim; shingle granules washed out where the downspouts empty; pieces of shingle in the yard. Photograph them. Stay off the roof.

Do you cover barns and workshops?

Yes. Requests for barns, sheds, detached garages and shop buildings go to a contractor who works on them. Many of these are metal panel roofs, which have their own problems: loose fasteners, rust at laps and lifted edges.

How much does a new roof cost?

This site does not quote prices, because it does not do the work. The contractor will quote after seeing the roof; ask them to break out tear-off, decking replacement, underlayment and flashing so you can compare.

Where do my details go?

To the contractor who takes the request and to the services that run this site’s form and phone line. They are not sold. The privacy page has the rest.

Still Have a Question About Your Roof?

Call and ask. The contractor who works the area will answer what this page cannot.
