Handnail Roofing is a roofing contractor for Conroe, Texas: leak repairs, storm damage, full replacements and free inspections, done by a small owner-run crew that hand-nails every shingle. Andy Hughes, the owner, looks at your roof himself, sends you photos of what he finds, and gives you one written price before anyone starts.
We’re based in Spring, about twenty minutes down I-45, and we’re in Conroe most weeks: Grand Central Park, Graystone Hills, Woodforest, River Plantation, Teaswood, the older streets around downtown and the lake side out toward FM 1097. A lot of those roofs are the same age, went through the same storms, and are failing in the same places. We know where to look.
Roofing services in Conroe
Roof repair
Leaks, blown-off shingles, cracked pipe boots, failed flashing, rotted decking. We find the actual entry point in the attic before we touch the roof. Most repairs are done in a single visit.
Roof replacement
Full tear-off, decking check, new underlayment, ice-and-water at the valleys and penetrations, proper ventilation, and your choice of shingle from every major brand. Most Conroe homes are torn off and shingled in one day.
Hail and wind damage
Conroe sits right in the hail belt north of Houston. We document bruising, creased shingles and lifted ridge cap the way adjusters need it, and we tell you straight if the damage isn’t enough to claim.
Insurance claims
If a storm did it, we walk the claim with you: photos, the adjuster meeting, the scope, and the supplement if the first estimate misses something. No public adjuster fees, no games.
Free roof inspections
Buying a house, selling one, or just haven’t looked up in a while? We inspect the attic and the roof, photograph everything, and send you a plain-English report. No charge, no pressure.
Emergency tarping
Tree limb through the roof, or half a slope gone in a storm? We’ll get it dried in fast so the inside of your house stops taking damage while the repair or claim is sorted out.
Why Conroe homeowners call us
You deal with the owner. There’s no salesperson, no commission, no “let me check with the office.” Andy inspects, Andy prices, Andy’s on the job. When you text the number on this page, it’s answered by someone who has been on your roof.
Every shingle is hand-nailed. A nail gun set wrong drives nails too deep or leaves them proud, and the shingle isn’t held. Hand-nailing puts every nail straight, flush, and inside the manufacturer’s nailing zone. It’s slower. It’s also why our roofs stay on when the wind comes off Lake Conroe at 60 miles an hour.
The price you sign is the price. Estimates are written, itemized and sent to a portal you can read on your phone. If we open a roof and find rotted decking we didn’t expect, you get a photo and a price for that before we replace it, not a surprise on the invoice.
We photograph everything. Before, during and after. You never have to climb a ladder to check our work, and you’ll have a record if you ever sell the house or file a claim.
What Conroe weather does to a roof
Conroe roofs live hard. Summer attic temperatures push past 140°F, which cooks the asphalt in a shingle and makes it brittle years early if the attic isn’t venting. Spring brings hail; the storms that come up I-45 from Houston drop stones that bruise shingles without tearing them, and that bruising shows up as leaks two or three years later. Then there’s the Gulf. The 2024 storm season put straight-line winds and Hurricane Beryl across Montgomery County within two months, and a lot of Conroe roofs that “looked fine” from the driveway lost ridge cap, lifted tabs and cracked boots that nobody noticed until the next heavy rain.
Our inspections start in the attic for that reason. From inside you can see daylight, water trails on the rafters and wet insulation that tells the true story of the roof, before any of it shows on your ceiling.

What roofing costs in Conroe
Straight numbers, because that’s what you’re here for. Most repairs run $800 to $2,000; the most common one, a leaking pipe vent with rotted decking underneath, is usually around $1,250. Full replacements in the Houston area are priced per roofing square (100 square feet) and the 2026 market sits between $400 and $600 a square installed. Our 2026 replacements have averaged just under $400 per square.

Conroe roofing questions
How much does a new roof cost in Conroe, TX?
For a typical Conroe home, a full asphalt shingle replacement runs in the range of $400 to $600 per roofing square (100 square feet) installed, which is where the Houston-area market sits in 2026; our 2026 replacements have averaged just under $400 per square. A 25-square roof lands somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000 depending on pitch, layers, decking condition and which shingle you choose. You get an exact written number after a free inspection, and we can show it as a monthly payment.
Do you pull a permit for a roof replacement in Conroe?
Yes. When the City of Conroe or Montgomery County requires a permit for the work, we pull it and it's in the price. Homes inside a city-limits address and homes out in the county have different rules, and we sort that out for you.
How fast can you get to a Conroe roof leak?
Inspections are booked on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, usually within the same week. If water is coming in right now, call the number at the top of the page and ask about emergency tarping; we can get a roof dried in ahead of the full repair.
Does my Conroe HOA have to approve a new roof?
Many do. Neighborhoods like Grand Central Park, Graystone Hills, Woodforest and Harper's Preserve have architectural review rules on shingle color and style. We've filled out these applications before, we know what they ask for, and we'll handle the paperwork with you so the install date doesn't slip.
Which shingles hold up best in Conroe weather?
For hail and wind, an architectural shingle with a Class 3 or Class 4 impact rating and a 130-mph wind rating is the sweet spot. We install every line ABC Supply carries (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, Atlas) and we'll tell you honestly which ones are worth the extra money on your roof and which aren't.
Do you work on Lake Conroe waterfront homes?
Yes. Lakefront roofs take more wind off the water and more sun, and they fail earlier at ridges and exposed edges. We inspect those spots first and reinforce them on replacements.
