Looking for a roofer in Friendswood? Start with the roofers listed below. Compare their ratings, then request a quote from any listing using the quote form. One Friendswood quirk is worth knowing before you get bids: the city sits in two counties.
Friendswood is part of both Galveston County and Harris County. Galveston County is one of the 14 coastal counties in the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) designated catastrophe area. In that area, most roof replacements need a windstorm inspection and a certificate of compliance for a home to be covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. If your home is in the Galveston County part of Friendswood, ask each roofer how they will arrange that inspection, whether by a TDI-appointed engineer or a TDI inspector during the work. If you're in the Harris County part, ask your insurance agent what your policy needs.
The city reviews permit applications too. Friendswood's building staff say plan review normally takes an average of 5 to 7 working days, so build that into your schedule.
Texas has no state roofing license, so compare insurance, a local address, written estimates and warranties. Texas law bars contractors from waiving your insurance deductible. Phone numbers show on Pro and Premier listings only. Listings may show Google ratings, labeled as Google; reviews here are labeled "Homeowner review" and come only through a review link sent after a quote request.
