Roof Replacement: When Patching Just Won’t Cut It

By Achilles Roofing — Houston’s Roof Replacement Experts Who Don’t Mess Around

There comes a point when another repair just isn’t enough. Maybe your shingles are curling. Maybe that same spot keeps leaking no matter how many times it’s “fixed.” Or maybe your roof’s just hit the end of its life. When that time comes, roof replacement is the smartest move — not the most expensive one.

At Achilles Roofing, we don’t push full replacements unless you really need one. But when you do, we’ll strip it down, rebuild it right, and install a roof that’s built to outlast the Texas heat, storms, and time.

When Is It Time to Replace Your Roof?

You don’t have to wait for disaster. Here’s how to tell your roof’s on its last legs:

  • Shingles are cracked, curled, or bare
  • You see dark streaks, moss, or sagging
  • Repairs are happening more often
  • Roof is 20+ years old and looks tired
  • You’re losing energy efficiency or airflow

These signs mean your roof isn’t just aging — it’s failing. And waiting only drives up the cost.

What We Do Different

A roof replacement isn’t just about slapping new shingles on top. At Achilles Roofing, we tear down and rebuild with a system that actually lasts:

  • Remove all old materials — no layering shortcuts
  • Inspect the decking — replace any rotten wood
  • Install full synthetic underlayment — waterproof protection
  • Upgrade ventilation — so your attic doesn’t cook
  • Use premium shingles or metal panels — your call
  • Secure flashing and drip edges — every edge sealed tight

We treat every replacement like it’s our own home. No shortcuts. No BS.

Your Roofing Options

Whether you want the classic look of architectural shingles or the long-term strength of metal roofing, we’ve got it. We walk you through the options based on:

  • Budget
  • Home >
  • Local weather resistance
  • Long-term performance
  • HOA compliance (if needed)

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all job — we customize it so you get the most bang for your buck.

Bottom Line:

If your roof’s shot, it’s not a matter of if it will fail — it’s when. And when it does, the damage spreads fast. Replacing your roof now could save you thousands later in repairs, mold cleanup, or structural fixes.
