A full roof replacement in Houston runs $8,500–$18,000 for most homes in 2026. Here is what actually moves that number: size, pitch, layers, decking condition, and material choice.

When the old roof comes off, the connection between your roof framing and walls is exposed — the one moment when adding hurricane straps is fast and affordable.
Most Houston roof replacements finish in one to two working days. Here is what happens each day, and the few things — weather, decking surprises, material choice — that can stretch the schedule.
