A roof does one job that matters more than any other in Houston: keep water out, through sun, storms and everything in between. Missing or lifted shingles, granule loss, a slow leak that only shows up during heavy rain — these are the kinds of problems that get worse quietly until they don’t. 188 CONSTRUCTION handles residential roof repair, replacement and storm damage work across Houston, with materials and installation matched to what this climate actually puts a roof through.
188 CONSTRUCTION is licensed and insured. Roofing work is performed by appropriately licensed and trained crews, and every job includes an inspection of the roof deck and flashing — not just the shingles — since that’s usually where leaks actually start.

Why Roofs Don’t Last as Long in Houston as the Warranty Suggests
Manufacturer warranties are often written for a national average climate, not for a roof that deals with intense UV exposure, high humidity, and hurricane-season wind and hail every year. Shingles here take more direct sun damage and more wind-driven rain than in most of the country, which is part of why a roof that “should” last 25 years on paper often needs attention well before that in Houston. We inspect for the specific wear patterns this climate causes — granule loss from UV, lifted edges from wind, and soft spots from long-term moisture — rather than assuming the shingle age alone tells the whole story.
Why Houston Homeowners Choose 188 CONSTRUCTION for Roofing
- Full roof and flashing inspection, not just a shingle count
- Materials selected for Houston’s sun, humidity and storm exposure, not a generic package
- Written scope explaining exactly what’s being repaired or replaced and why
- Storm damage documentation that supports your insurance claim, not just a repair estimate
- Licensed and insured crews, with attic ventilation checked as part of the process
- Coordination with gutters and drainage so water is actually carried away from the roofline
Our Process
- Consultation — We discuss what you’re noticing — a leak, storm damage, or a roof that’s simply aging out.
- Inspection — We assess the roof deck, shingles, flashing and attic ventilation, not just the surface.
- Findings and Scope — We explain what we found and put repair or replacement options into a written scope.
- Materials and Scheduling — Materials are selected and work is scheduled, including permits where the jurisdiction requires them.
- Roofing Work — Repair or replacement is completed by licensed, trained crews.
- Final Walkthrough — We review the completed roof and confirm everything, including flashing and ventilation, is done correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement? It depends on the extent and location of the damage, and the age and condition of the roof overall. A full inspection is the only reliable way to tell — we’ll give you a straight answer rather than defaulting to the more expensive option.
Will you help with my insurance claim after storm damage? Yes. We document the damage thoroughly, which is often what an insurance adjuster needs to properly process a storm damage claim.
How often should a roof be inspected in Houston? An annual inspection, plus a check after any major storm, catches most problems while they’re still a repair rather than a replacement.
Do you handle both repair and full roof replacement? Yes — we assess the actual condition first and recommend based on what makes sense for your roof, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
