New Roof Installation for Homes
Building a new home or adding an extension to your house is an exciting venture – and every new home needs a solid roof overhead. RISE Roofing specializes in residential new roof installation in the Houston and Corpus Christi areas, ensuring that new constructions start off with top-quality, professionally installed roofing systems. We work with homeowners and builders to plan and execute the perfect roof for the project. From selecting the right materials to challenging construction, following local building codes, our team ensures your new roof is built to last.
Good planning means fewer surprises later. We take pride in guiding new homeowners through these decisions with expert advice and zero pressure. Ultimately, you get a roof tailored to your needs and preferences.
Planning Your New Roof
The planning phase of a new roof installation is crucial. Unlike a roof replacement (where we match to an existing structure), a new roof gives you the opportunity to customize and optimize from scratch.
Design and Architecture
We collaborate with your home’s architect or builder (or with you directly) to understand the roof design – the shape, pitch, number of valleys, placement of dormers or skylights, etc. If the design is still flexible, we can offer suggestions to improve roof performance, such as ideal pitch for drainage or overhangs that protect walls. Our goal is a roof design that is both beautiful and functional, complementing your new home’s architecture.
Material Selection
Early in planning, you’ll choose what roofing material to use. Will you go with classic asphalt shingles (the go-to for many new homes in Texas), durable metal roofing, elegant clay tiles, or perhaps a premium designer shingle? Each material has its advantages: asphalt shingles are cost-effective and versatile in style, metal roofs provide exceptional longevity and energy efficiency, tile roofs offer a high-end look and durability. We present you with options that fit your budget and aesthetic vision. Because RISE Roofing is certified with top manufacturers like GAF and Owens Corning, we can also advise on the latest roofing products and trends – maybe you want those cool reflective shingles to reduce attic heat, or impact-resistant shingles for storm peace of mind.
Budget Considerations
We’ll provide estimates for different material choices so you can weigh initial costs versus long-term value. Our planning process is transparent – no surprise costs. By deciding on all these details up front, we integrate your roof installation into the overall construction budget smoothly.
Color and Style
A new roof installation drastically influences your home’s curb appeal. During planning, we’ll show you samples and even photos of similar homes with various shingle colors and profiles. For instance, you might choose an architectural shingle that mimics wood shake for a rustic look, or a sleek standing-seam metal in a modern color for a contemporary design. We ensure the roof color complements your exterior siding/brick and matches the style of your neighborhood or personal taste.
Why Choose RISE Roofing for Your New Roof Installation
Choosing the right roofing contractor for a new build is as important as choosing one for a roof replacement. Here’s why many homeowners and builders choose RISE Roofing for new roof installations. Building a home is a big project, but with RISE Roofing handling your new roof, you have one less thing to worry about. We deliver the same level of care and craftsmanship for new constructions as we do for our roof replacement customers.
We are experienced in working alongside construction teams. We understand that timing is critical – delays in roofing can hold up other parts of construction. Our team is reliable and flexible in scheduling. If you’re a homeowner acting as your own general contractor, we’ll help you understand when we need to step in (usually right after framing is done) and how long the roofing phase will take. Communication is key; we keep everyone in the loop.
If this is your first time building a house, you might be surprised how many roofing options exist. We serve as your guides, simplifying the technical jargon. Our consultative approach ensures you make informed decisions rather than being overwhelmed by choices.
Our roof installation crews are skilled teams with dexcades of experience installing roofs on countless new homes. They know the nuances of new construction versus reroofing. For example, working on a wide-open new construction site allows some efficiencies (no need to protect furniture or landscaping that isn’t there yet), and our team leverages that to move quickly. But we also take extra caution that every base layer is perfect, since there’s no existing roof as a template.
New construction sites come with their own hazards. Our crew is fully insured and trained in construction site safety. We follow safety protocols, protecting not just our workers but also the property.
Should your new roof project involve something extra like installing gutters or siding, RISE Roofing has a trusted network for professional home services. To empasize, we are a one-stop solution for all things related to your roofing system.
After we’ve installed your new roof, and construction is done, we’ll provide free inspections every 2 years.. You’ll receive full documentation of the roof warranty and care instructions. We’ll also be there down the road when your new roof eventually needs its first maintenance check or if an unexpected issue arises. Our lifetime workmanship warranty applies to new installations just as it does to replacements – meaning we guarantee our installation quality for as long as you own the home.
Ensuring Quality & Code Compliance
Building Codes
RISE Roofing stays up-to-date on all relevant building codes for roofing in Texas, including local Houston ordinances, Texas Windstorm requirements for Southeast Houston, Corpus Christi and surrounding costal counties. We understand that new construction must often pass inspections from.. For example, in wind-prone areas, we use the specified number of nails per shingle, drip edge and specific nailing patterns required to meet uplift resistance standards.
Texas Windstorm Certification
If your new home is in a designated coastal area (windstorm zone), the roof must receive a Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection. As experts in Texas Windstorm compliance, we handle all the necessary communication & documentation so that your new roof will easily pass windstorm certification. We’ll coordinate with the appointed windstorm inspector or engineer and ensure you receive your WPI-8 certificate stating your roof is built to withstand high winds.
Manufacturer Specifications
Quality roof manufacturers like GAF and Owens Corning have detailed installation guidelines for their products. Since we are certified by these manufacturers, we strictly follow the product installation requirements. This means your new roof will qualify for the maximum warranty available. A roof installed “to spec”, ensures a valid extended warranty, and a roof you can trust for a lifetime..
Quality Controls
Our project manager will inspect the roof installation as it progresses, and do a thorough final inspection. We often take photos before and after the installation for your documentation. We want you to witness the quality and care that goes into your new roof.
Perfection Persistence
This is your dream home or important project – we treat it with the care it deserves. RISE Roofing’s team is passionate about delivering a quality roof installation. We address even tiny details, like ensuring nails are the correct length and properly driven, or making sure the pattern of shingles is aesthetically pleasing. By not cutting corners, we ensure your new roof not only passes all inspections now but will also stand strong for decades.
New Roof Installation FAQ
What is included in a full roof installation by RISE Roofing?
A full roof installation includes removal of your old roofing (if applicable), repair of the roof deck, new underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and the installation of the roofing material you select. We also handle city permits, cleanup, and a full final inspection. All work is done by certified crews following Houston and Corpus Christi building codes.
How do I know it’s time for a new roof?
You may need a new roof if you're seeing missing shingles, frequent leaks, granule loss, or sagging. If your roof is over 20 years old and has endured multiple storms in Houston or Corpus Christi, a replacement is likely due. A professional inspection can confirm its condition and give you options before serious damage occurs.
What types of residential roofing do you offer?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, designer shingles, standing seam metal, stone-coated steel, and clay or concrete tile roofing systems. Each has distinct advantages in durability, curb appeal, and warranty options. We help homeowners choose the right fit for their budget, HOA, and long-term goals.
How long does a new roof installation take?
Most new roof installs are completed in 1–2 days for asphalt shingles or metal, and 2–4 days for tile. We'll confirm your schedule in advance, and weather permitting, we'll finish quickly with daily cleanup and site protection throughout the job.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement?
Yes. Most jurisdictions including Houston and Corpus Christi require permits for roof replacements. If you're near the coast, windstorm certification may also be required. RISE Roofing handles all paperwork, permitting, and scheduling with city inspectors for you.
What warranties do your new roofs include?
All our roofs include a manufacturer’s warranty of 25–50 years, plus a lifetime workmanship warranty backed by RISE Roofing. We are certified with GAF and Owens Corning, which allows us to offer extended warranties that cover labor, tear-off, and materials under a single plan.
