What Are Roofing Customers Say About Us
Old Katy does not look like the subdivisions that grew up around it. Streets like Blue Bonnet and Birch date back to the 1890s railroad stop, and a lot of the homes on them have been re-roofed before.
Last spring we replaced a bungalow off Avenue D after hail cracked through shingles that were already on borrowed time. A tear-off on Cedar Street turned into a full deck replacement once we got up there and found multiple old layers over rotted boards. For a roofing contractor in Katy TX who knows what to expect on these older properties, the Townsite is home territory for Roofing Technologies Unlimited.
Gulf Coast storm season hits every part of Harris County. Homes with original decking and aging shingles have less margin.
Jobs in Katy Townsite
Tighter lots, older framing, street access that changes block to block. That is just how the Townsite works, and we factor it in before we show up.
Last year a wind squall pulled ridge cap off a craftsman near 1st Street and exposed the underlayment. We got on it the same day. On Morton Road and Dogwood Street, back-to-back hail jobs ran over two weeks that spring. Both were insurance claims, both required us on-site with the adjuster so nothing got missed before the estimate was written.
Call with four hours notice and we can usually get out the same day for a free inspection. Getting it documented fast matters.
Historic Home Roofing
A 1950s Townsite home is a different job than anything built after 2000. Skip sheathing, old board decking, rafter spacing that predates modern code. You find out what you are actually dealing with once the old material comes off.
On a pre-1960 house near the center of the Townsite, we pulled shingles and found the original boards had dried and split so badly that nothing new could fasten properly. The whole deck came out. Near Katy Fort Bend Road, a re-roof turned up four partial repairs layered by different contractors over the years, each one hiding a drainage problem. Good roof replacement in Katy TX on an older home starts with being honest about what you find up there.
These jobs take longer to scope right. We do not rush that part.
Storm Damage Response
Hail punching through granules on three dozen squares. A flashing seam that held through the storm but leaked at 2 AM once the wind shifted. Drip edge lifted clean off a fascia board by a gust that lasted thirty seconds.
All of those calls have come in from around the Townsite. Roofing Technologies Unlimited gets out fast, photographs everything before touching anything, and walks the homeowner through what we found before anybody talks numbers. A roof that catches hail in March may not show water inside until summer. Getting documented early is one of the best ways to protect a future claim.
We give it to you straight either way.
Insurance Claim Assistance
Older Townsite homes throw up complications on insurance claims. An adjuster working fast can miss damaged flashing, write an estimate around partial repair when full replacement is warranted, or price materials at rates that do not reflect actual cost.
We have been on-site with adjusters throughout the Townsite area, walking roofs together so the full damage picture gets into the estimate. Partial approvals have been supplemented on more than one job once we put the documentation in front of the carrier.
Replacement cost versus actual cash value coverage is worth understanding before a claim goes in. We walk homeowners through that.
Roof Replacement Permits
Katy requires a permit for every roof replacement. Not all homeowners know to ask whether their contractor pulls one. On older Townsite homes where the city may want to verify deck condition or ventilation, that shortcut creates real exposure for the homeowner down the road.
Every job we do in the Townsite gets permitted. We pull it, schedule the city inspection, and hand over the paperwork when the job closes. That record matters when the house sells or when a storm hits and the insurer wants proof the work was done to code.
Roofing Technologies Unlimited handles permits on every qualifying job in Katy. Compliance is our responsibility, not yours.
We also serve nearby Kelliwood, Nottingham Country, and the Cane Island corridor.
