What the City of Houston Calls a Residential Roofing Permit
The City of Houston lists a Residential Roofing Permit, which it describes as a permit for a re-roof or roofing overlay on a residence structure. Permits are handled by the Houston Permitting Center at 1002 Washington Ave. Rules, fees and exceptions change, so check the current requirement for your address before a roof comes off.
Not every address with a Houston mailing address is in the City of Houston. Bellaire, West University Place and several other cities sit inside the Houston area but issue their own permits. If you are not sure which city your home is in, your property tax statement or appraisal district record will say.
Houston Is Not on the TDI Windstorm County List
Homeowners who move up from Pearland or the coast sometimes ask whether a Houston re-roof needs a state windstorm inspection. The Texas Department of Insurance windstorm program applies in the first tier coastal counties, such as Brazoria and Galveston, and in certain Harris County cities east of State Highway 146: La Porte, Morgan's Point, Pasadena, Seabrook and Shoreacres.
The City of Houston is not on that list, so for most Houston addresses the TWIA inspection rule does not apply. If your home is in one of those east side cities, it does. Read the list for yourself on the TDI windstorm inspection program page.
Recent Storms That Left Houston Roofs Damaged
Houston roofs have taken a beating in the last few years. On May 16, 2024 a derecho, a fast moving line of damaging straight line winds, crossed the city. On July 8, 2024 Hurricane Beryl came ashore and swept through the Houston area, leaving wind damage and widespread power outages. Both are documented by the National Weather Service office for Houston and Galveston.
Wind damage is not always obvious. Lifted shingles can look fine from the yard and still let water in during the next heavy rain. If your roof went through either storm and has not been checked since, a free roof inspection is a sensible first step.
Hail Reports on the South Side, April 30, 2026
Just after midnight on May 1, 2026, storm reports logged hail across southeast Harris County and the Pearland area. The closest to Houston were a 1.25 inch report near Scarsdale Blvd and Beamer Rd in southeast Harris County at 12:26 am, and a 1.00 inch mPING report 4 miles east of Pearland at 12:28 am. Earlier that night, hail of 1.00 to 1.50 inches was reported in the Sugar Land, First Colony and Missouri City areas on the southwest side.

Our Pearland roofing page lists every report around the office. If you are on the south side and have not looked at your roof since, see what to check on our storm and hail damage page.
Older Houston Roofs: Median Build Years by South Side ZIP
The neighborhoods on Houston's south side closest to our office were mostly built earlier than Pearland. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey reports the median year homes were built in each ZIP:
| ZIP | Median year built |
|---|---|
| 77034 | 1976 |
| 77089 | 1987 |
| 77075 | 1993 |
Source: US Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-year estimates, table B25035. A ZIP median, not your house.
A median build year in the 1970s or 1980s means many homes in the ZIP have had several roofs, and some still have old decking under newer shingles. When we replace a roof, we look at the decking once the old roof is off. Ask us about roof replacement, or metal roofing if you want a different material this time.
Inner-Loop Calls: River Oaks, West University Place and Bellaire
We also hear from homeowners inside the Loop and just outside it. Each of these areas has its own rules worth knowing before a roof is replaced.
River Oaks
River Oaks has deed restrictions enforced by River Oaks Property Owners, and changes to a home's exterior can need their approval. Read the River Oaks deed restriction questions before you pick a new roofing material or color.
West University Place
West University Place is its own city with its own permit office. Start with the city's permits page before a re-roof.
Bellaire
Bellaire is also its own city, and its FAQ covers homeowner building permits for roof repairs. See the City of Bellaire permit questions.
Business owners: we handle commercial roofing for offices, multi-family buildings and other businesses around Houston too.
Houston Roofing Questions
Is NHRS a Houston roofing company?
NHRS Roofing works from an office in Pearland, at 2517 E Broadway St #103, just south of the Houston city limits. We take roofing work across the Houston area, and the south and southwest sides are the closest to our office. Call 281-489-1717 to check your street.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Houston?
The City of Houston lists a Residential Roofing Permit, described as a permit for a re-roof or roofing overlay on a residence. Check the current requirements with the Houston Permitting Center before work starts. Cities inside Houston, such as Bellaire and West University Place, run their own permit offices.
Does the TWIA windstorm inspection rule apply in Houston?
For most Houston addresses, no. TDI lists the first tier counties and a few Harris County cities east of State Highway 146 (La Porte, Morgan's Point, Pasadena, Seabrook and Shoreacres). The City of Houston is not on that list. Check the TDI page for your exact address.
Were there hail reports on Houston's south side on April 30, 2026?
Yes. NOAA storm reports list 1.00 to 1.25 inch hail just after midnight on May 1, 2026 near Scarsdale Blvd and Beamer Rd in southeast Harris County, and other reports around Pearland. If your home is in that area, a free inspection will tell you whether your roof took damage.
What should I do first if my Houston roof is leaking?
Move what you can away from the water, catch the drip, and take photos of the ceiling and anything wet. Do not go up on the roof. Then call 281-489-1717 during office hours, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, to set up a roof repair visit.
