What is included in a full re-roof?
A re-roof strips the covering down to bare deck and rebuilds every layer above it. That covers tear-off and disposal, deck repair, ice-and-water membrane at valleys and penetrations, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, starter course, field shingles, ridge venting and cap.
Roofers price the work by the square, a unit of 100 square feet of roof area. A quote listing squares rather than a single lump sum lets a homeowner compare two bids on the same basis. Ask which underlayment brand and which shingle line each bid carries, because both change the warranty.
How does a Fulshear re-roof run day to day?
Most single-family re-roofs in the area finish inside one to three working days.
Protect the ground
Tarps and plywood go over landscaping, the driveway and any pool surround before a single shingle moves.
Tear off to the deck
The crew strips shingles, underlayment and old fasteners into a dumpster staged at the curb.
Inspect and repair the deck
Soft or delaminated sheathing is cut out and replaced, and the roofer counts the sheets used.
Rebuild the water barrier
Membrane goes into valleys and around penetrations, then synthetic underlayment covers the field.
Install the new system
Drip edge, starter, field shingles, ridge vent and cap go on in sequence, nailed to the pattern the wind rating requires.
Sweep and hand over
A rolling magnet clears nails from the lawn and drive, and the crew walks the finished roof with the homeowner.
What drives the price of a new roof here?
The table lists six factors that move a Fulshear re-roof quote and the direction each one pushes the total.
| Factor | Why it changes the quote | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Roof area in squares | Every square adds material and labor in a fixed ratio | Largest single driver |
| Pitch | Steep slopes need staging and slow the crew down | Raises labor |
| Existing layers | A second layer doubles tear-off volume and disposal | Raises tear-off |
| Deck condition | Rotted sheathing is found only once the roof is open | Added per sheet |
| Penetrations | Each vent, chimney and skylight needs its own flashing detail | Raises labor |
| Material choice | Architectural asphalt, impact-rated shingle and standing seam sit at different price tiers | Wide swing |
Houston-area architectural shingle work prices at $4.50 to $8.50 per square foot, or $450 to $850 per square, in 2026 guides. The roofer confirms the final figure after measuring.
Questions to put to a roofer before signing
Texas issues no state roofing license, so these answers carry the weight a license would elsewhere.
Proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate showing general liability and workers' compensation, sent directly by the insurer.
Written scope by square
A quote naming squares, shingle line and underlayment brand can be compared against another bid.
Permit responsibility
Fulshear takes submittals through its GovWell portal; confirm who applies and who meets the inspector.
Deck repair rate
Agree the per-sheet price for replacement decking before tear-off exposes the unknown.
Workmanship warranty
Manufacturer warranties cover the shingle; a separate written term covers the installation.
Payment schedule
Ask what is due at contract, at material delivery and at completion, and get it in the contract.
Re-roofing questions from Fulshear homeowners
How long does a roof replacement take?
One to three working days covers most single-family homes in the area. Tear-off and dry-in finish on day one so the house is never left open overnight. Steep pitches, multiple layers and complex rooflines extend the schedule.
Can a new roof go over the old shingles?
A layover skips tear-off but hides the deck underneath. Rot, delamination and old fastener damage stay in place and the added weight loads the framing. A full tear-off exposes those faults while they are still cheap to fix.
Do homeowners need to move out during a re-roof?
No, homes stay occupied through a re-roof. Expect sustained hammering from early morning, vibration that shifts wall hangings, and debris netting over the yard. Park outside the work zone and keep pets indoors.
What wind rating does a Fulshear roof need?
Fulshear's adopted code sets a 130 mph design wind speed in its amended IRC table, above the 110 mph the City of Houston applies. Fastening carries that rating. The code requires at least four nails per strip shingle, and more where the manufacturer's instructions say so, so ask what the crew uses.
