Why Houston homes get this: Hurricane-force winds, hail, and torrential rain make roofing one of Houston's most demanded trades, with major storm events triggering waves of replacement work. Intense heat and UV degrade shingles quickly, and flat sections on many homes are prone to ponding and leaks.
