Roof Replacement — The most expensive mistake Conroe homeowners make on one of their biggest investments.
The cheapest roof replacement bid is rarely the cheapest outcome. The low-bid contractor doesn't cut waste — they cut scope. And none of it is visible until the consequences show up.
Here's what commonly gets cut in a low-bid job:
Tear-off vs. layering over
A proper replacement removes the old roof completely. Layering over hides existing damage and fails faster.
Decking inspection
Once the old roof is off, every board should be inspected. A contractor who skips this is working blind.
Underlayment specification
Synthetic underlayment performs significantly better than standard felt in Texas conditions.
Permits
If permits aren't included, the liability for unpermitted work stays with you as the homeowner.
Warranty terms
A warranty that was never registered or doesn't cover labor is not protection.
The gap between a $9,500 bid and a $12,000 bid is often exactly the scope that was removed.
