Handnail Roofing provides roofing services in Cypress, Texas: leak repairs, hail and wind damage, insurance claims and full replacements, done by a small owner-run crew that hand-nails every shingle. Andy Hughes, the owner, inspects and prices the work himself. Inspections are free, the estimate is written, and most repairs and most full replacements are finished in one day.
We’re based in Spring, 35 to 40 minutes away by the Grand Parkway, and we’re in Cypress often enough to know the neighborhoods and their rulebooks: Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Fairfield, Coles Crossing, Blackhorse Ranch, Cypress Creek Lakes, Stone Gate and Longwood. Most of Cypress is master-planned, which means most Cypress roofs come with an architectural review committee attached. We plan for that from the first visit instead of discovering it the week before tear-off.
Roofing services in Cypress
Roof repair
Leaks, lifted or missing shingles, cracked pipe boots, flashing, soft decking. We find the entry point from the attic before we open the roof. Most Cypress repairs are done in one visit.
Roof replacement
Full tear-off, decking check, new underlayment, ice-and-water at the valleys and penetrations, ventilation sorted, and your choice of shingle from every brand ABC Supply carries. Most Cypress homes are torn off and shingled in one day.
Hail and wind damage
Bruised shingles, creased tabs, lifted ridge cap, dented vents. We document it the way adjusters need it and tell you honestly whether it’s a claim.
Insurance claims
Photos, the adjuster meeting at your house, the scope, and the supplement if the first estimate misses something. No public-adjuster fees, and no claim filed for damage that doesn’t exist.
Free roof inspections
Attic first, then the roof, photos of everything, and a plain-English report. Good before you buy in Cypress, before you sell, or after any storm.
Emergency tarping
Half a slope gone or a limb through the decking? We get the roof dried in fast so the inside of the house stops taking damage while the repair or the claim gets sorted.
Gutters, guards and attic ventilation are add-on work we do while the roof is open, and both matter on an open Cypress lot.
Getting a new roof through a Cypress HOA
In Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Fairfield, Coles Crossing and most of the rest of Cypress, a roof isn’t just a roof; it’s an application. The committee wants the shingle manufacturer, the product line, the exact color, usually a brochure or a sample, and sometimes a photo of the house. Some communities publish a list of approved shingles. Some meet twice a month and some take longer. If a roofer schedules your tear-off before the approval is back, the risk is a stop-work letter with your old roof in the dumpster.
So we do the paperwork first. At the inspection we ask for your HOA’s rules, go through the manufacturer’s colors inside the palette they allow, and fill out the packet with you the same week. The install date goes on the calendar when the approval comes back, not before.
Why Cypress homeowners call us
You deal with the owner. Andy looks at the roof, Andy writes the number, and Andy is on the job. No sales rep, no commission, no “let me check with the office.”
Every shingle is hand-nailed. A shingle holds when its nails are straight, flush with the mat and inside the strip the manufacturer prints on it. A crew running nail guns at builder speed gets that right most of the time, and the exceptions are the tabs that let go in the first big wind ten years later. We set every nail by hand. It’s slower, and it’s why the roof holds.
One written price. Itemized, sent to a portal you can read and sign from your phone. If we find rotted decking once the roof is open, you get a photo and a price before we replace it.
Photos of everything, and a clean yard. Before, during and after. Tarps over the beds, a magnet sweep for nails, haul-off the same day, and a walk-around with you at the end.
What Cypress weather does to a roof
Cypress is flat, open and mostly new, and each of those is hard on a roof. Open lots mean full sun all day; attic temperatures pass 140°F in summer, and a builder-grade attic with too few vents cooks a shingle brittle years early. No windbreak means wind hits the roof at full speed: the May 2024 derecho crossed northwest Harris County with straight-line winds, Hurricane Beryl followed in July, and a lot of Cypress roofs lost ridge cap and creased shingles along the rakes without anyone noticing until the ceiling stained. Spring hail rounds it out, and hail is the quiet one; bruises you can’t see from the driveway become leaks two or three years later.
A roof installed in a hurry in 2008 with the thinnest shingle the builder could buy is not a twenty-five-year roof. If your neighbors are replacing, a free inspection tells you where yours stands.
Cypress neighborhoods we work in

Wherever there’s an architectural review committee, the application is part of the job, not an extra.
What roofing costs in Cypress
Most repairs run $800 to $2,000. The most common one, a leaking pipe vent with rotted decking under it, is usually about $1,250. Full replacements in the Houston area are priced per roofing square (100 square feet); the 2026 market sits between $400 and $600 a square installed, and our 2026 replacements have averaged just under $400 per square. A typical 25-square Cypress home lands between $10,000 and $15,000 depending on pitch, layers to remove, decking condition and the shingle you pick.
Financing is available, including 0% APR for up to 18 months for qualified buyers, subject to credit approval, and we’ll show every option as a monthly payment so a repair, a replacement and a shingle upgrade can be compared side by side.

Cypress roofing questions
How much does a new roof cost in Cypress, TX?
A full asphalt shingle replacement runs $400 to $600 per roofing square (100 square feet) installed in the Houston area in 2026, and our 2026 replacements have averaged just under $400 per square. A typical 25-square Cypress home lands between $10,000 and $15,000 depending on pitch, layers, decking condition and the shingle you choose. The exact number comes in writing after a free inspection, and we can show it as a monthly payment.
Do you handle the HOA application in Bridgeland, Towne Lake or Fairfield?
Yes. We prepare the architectural review packet with you: product name, color, the manufacturer's brochure or a sample, and whatever else your committee asks for, and we hold the tear-off date until the approval comes back. Most Cypress communities restrict color and style, and a few keep a list of approved shingles, so we check the rules before you fall in love with a color.
Does Cypress get enough hail to worry about?
Yes. The spring storms that cross northwest Harris County drop hail on Cypress most years, and hail damage is quiet: round bruises where the granules are gone, soft spots under a thumb, dents in vents and gutters, and a pile of granules at the downspout. We inspect and photograph it for free, and if it's not enough to claim we tell you that instead of pushing you to file.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Cypress?
Cypress is unincorporated Harris County, so there's no city permit office. Where a permit is required for the work at your address, we pull it and it's in the price. The paperwork that actually decides your schedule in Cypress is the HOA approval, and we handle that with you.
How fast can you get to Cypress?
Inspections are booked on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and we group Cypress stops together, so a slot the same week is normal. Our shop is in Spring, about 35 to 40 minutes away by the Grand Parkway. If water is coming in right now, call and ask about emergency tarping.
Will a new roof match the rest of my street?
Close enough for the committee and your neighbors, as long as we pick from the palette your HOA allows. Most Cypress subdivisions were roofed in one or two builder colors, and every major manufacturer makes a near match for them. You see the color options and the committee's answer before you sign anything.
