Houston sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa).
Hot. Wet. Stormy. Windy. And humid enough to wreck everything. Here’s what actually destroys roofs here: Gloeocapsa Magma algae growing in under a year. Wind-driven rain blowing under weak shingles. Sudden storms ripping off ridge caps. Heat softening asphalt until it curls. Tropical systems pushing wind way inland. You can’t cheap out in Houston. This weather punishes shortcuts.

If a roofer quotes you $8K for a full replacement?
He’s either uninsured or lying.
Texas has no statewide roofing license, BUT Houston requires:
Contractor registration
Re-roof permit
Wind-rated fastening pattern
If someone says “no permit needed,” don’t let them touch anything.
Humidity warps decking in hours
Wind-driven rain sneaks through improper overlaps
Algae grows under misaligned shingles
Insurance denies DIY jobs instantly
I’ve fixed plenty of DIY roofs here. Every one cost double.
