Why the name

A roof is only as strong as its nails

Wind doesn’t pull a roof off all at once. It lifts one shingle that was nailed too high, too shallow, or at an angle, and the rest follow. Most of those mistakes come from a nail gun running fast with the pressure set wrong.

We nail by hand. Each nail goes where the manufacturer marks the nailing zone, straight, and set flush: not sunk through the mat, not standing proud. It’s slower. It’s also why we’re comfortable putting our name on the roof.

Fig. 01Nail placement

Nails inside the strip catch both the shingle and the one beneath it. A nail above the line holds only one layer, and that is where wind gets its grip.

How it works

No surprises, start to finish

  1. 01

    Inspection

    Andy or a crew lead walks the roof and the attic. You get photos of everything we find, good and bad.

  2. 02

    Written estimate

    Line by line, with options, sent to a portal where you can review, ask questions, and sign online.

  3. 03

    Install day

    Materials arrive the day before. Most roofs are torn off, dried in, and shingled in one day.

  4. 04

    Walkthrough

    Magnet sweep for nails, haul-off, and a final walk around the house with you before we call it done.

Financing

Pay for your roof by the month

Financing is available, including 0% APR for up to 18 months for qualified buyers, subject to credit approval. Ask us to show every estimate as a monthly payment.

I highly recommend Andy and his crew at Hand nail Roofing. They did an amazing and efficient job on my roof installation. Andy ensured the job was completed correctly, from the product used to the installation. For trust and honesty on your roofing project, choose Handnail Roofing.

Andy at Handnail gave us a quote that was below everyone else we got estimates from. We signed with Andy and his team was at our place 2 days later. We have a single story, 2500SF building and they were able to finish in one day. The roof looks great (we went with all black) and they definitely delivered on their promises. The team cleaned up and they were gone! Great experience all around and I have no issues recommending these guys

I contacted Andy to come give me a second opinion after someone tried to scam me into filing insurance claim for hail damage for a 4 year old roof. Andy was very honest and explained everything to me. Walked around my home and explained things that I’ve never paid attention to and discovered new things about my house. Very helpful guy and I look forward to working with him in the future.

I was very impressed with Jay's communication and work ethic! Excellent communication from contractors goes a really long way for me, and I felt very comfortable talking to him. He explained exactly what his process was, what to expect, and next steps. As a first time home owner, this helped me a lot. He cleared off two years worth of debris from our roof, and I will definitely have them back for maintenance and repairs! The price was also very affordable compared to the last roofing company I worked with.

Jay and Andy with Handnail Roofing did a great job roofing our home in Montgomery recently. Jay provided a very competitive quote for a big job, and delivered on every aspect that he quoted. He was also there to supervise the work. They left the job site immaculate, leaving nothing but a new roof (I have yet to find a nail in the yard). Andy called me on the front end and offered to buy bundles of shingles at their cost to make sure that I was comfortable with my choice. I highly recommend them.

Great Experience – Honest, Fast, and Quality Work
Had a really great experience with this team. From the beginning, they were super easy to work with, quick to respond and didn’t try to upsell me on stuff I didn’t need. Instead, Jay gave solid advice on what would actually work best for my home.
The roofing work was top-notch, and they added air vents that not only looked good but made a real difference. They also took the time to fix some air quality issues in my garage, which I wasn’t expecting but really appreciated. Jay was very professional and knowledgeable.
Overall, the job was affordable, done fast, and done right. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for reliable, honest folks who care about delivering great customer service and quality work.

Have to give Chris and Handnail Roofing a five star rating. Had an on-site inspection the same day as my call, a quote within 24 hours and gutters were installed 3 days later. Gutter install looks great and have already been tested by two huge thunderstorms. They worked flawlessly. Chris was great to work with. A real straight shooter. No big sales hype, just informed me how and when it would be done . Done deal! I’m very picky who I have do work on my house, having worked 45 years in the construction trade. This company had the attributes I was looking for.
Andy and his team at Handnail Roofing did a fantastic job with our backyard patio expansion project. They customized the project to give us exactly what we were looking for, including working with other contractors to add a surround sound system and TV. The communication throughout the project was top notch, they showed up when they said they would, and progressed the project swiftly. Lastly, Andy is great to work with. He is very responsive, answered all of my questions, and he genuinely cares about giving the client exactly what they are looking for and completing the work on time. I would use them again for another project and would highly recommend them to others.

I can’t say enough good things about Handnail Roofing! They were working on a neighbor’s house when they noticed we had some items we needed to dispose of. Without hesitation, they kindly offered to take them for us, saving us time and effort. It wasn’t something they had to do, but their generosity and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out.

If their kindness and professionalism extend to their actual work (which I’m sure it does), then anyone hiring them is in great hands. I highly recommend Handnail Roofing for their outstanding customer service and neighborly attitude. Thank you again!

HandNail Roofing, Andy Hughes

If you need your roof repaired or replaced and your looking for a roofing company, I'd STRONGLY suggest that you give Andy Hughes of HandNail Roofing a call. I'm convinced that Andy is a man of integrity.  Personally, I've become convinced that shingles that are nailed down vs installed with a “nail gun” will withstand higher winds without blowing off. Costal area codes actually require Hand Nailed roofs.

Do yourself a favor and give Andy a call!

Andy addressed a leak in my roof, where the round metal roof met the sloped regular shingles. He was thoughtful and creative in the way he solved the problem and he worked patiently with me on the timing and payment. Andy goes above and beyond and I would recommend him and use him again if needed.

I recently reached out to roofers on Yelp and Andy with Handnail Roofing was one of the individuals that reached back out to me. We ultimately went with someone else due other matters, but I would definitely consider Handnail Roofing next time.

Andy provides a very thorough report. Basically better than everyone else. More importantly, he's a gentleman.

If you need a roof, definitely reach out to Andy at Handnail first. His prices are very reasonable, not to mention he is very kind and provides one of the best reports with photos and graphics that I have seen.

Thank you again for your support and thoughtful review!Best regards,Andy

Jay is a complete professional!!!! Our experience was very professional from start to finish. From the text messaging to the rescheduling of appointments and showing up on time. We had a small leak after Hurricane Beryl and it was fixed in one day. It has rained numerous times since then and we have not had any issues. I really appreciate the professionalism because it is rare to find these days. I will call again for future roof replacement.

Thank you for your fantastic review, Ericka! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with Jay and our team. It's great to know the leak was resolved efficiently and that you've had no further issues. Your appreciation for our professionalism means a lot to us. We look forward to assisting you with any future roofing needs!
Handnail Roofing came to our rescue after storms damaged our roof. We needed two significant leaks repaired and Jay properly repaired the roof, including incorrectly installed shingles, a stray nail, and damage from another company's patch attempt. Andy and Jay were honest and reasonable, we will definitely call and refer them for any roof needs.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Jennifer! We're thrilled to hear that Jay and Andy were able to assist you and resolve the issues with your roof. Your trust and referrals mean a lot to us. If you ever need further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out!
I live in Klein and major windstorms tore off parts of my shingles. Not being from this area, I was surprised at how many roofing companies there are to choose from and it can be daunting to pick one you trust. Andy is friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive! He quickly had one of his men reach out to do a free onsite inspection. They contacted my home insurance once I gave them the information and had my roof repairs done that week. They took their time and were thorough with the repairs. When I need a full roof replacement I know who I will call!

Roof cost

What does a new roof cost?

It depends on three things: how big the roof is, how steep and cut-up it is, and which shingle you pick. Our calculator gives you a ballpark in about a minute. The inspection turns that into a real, written number.
