Houston roofs take a beating from heat, humidity, and hurricane-season wind. Asphalt shingle is by far the most common replacement here.
Gulf Coast wind and hail drive a lot of insurance claims. After a named storm, demand (and lead prices) spike for weeks.
Houston roof replacement cost by size
Installed price ranges for Houston, adjusted for local labour (about 5% below the national average). One "square" = 100 sq ft of roof; a typical home is 20–30 squares.

|---|---|---|---|
| 20 squares | $7,900–$9,200 | $10,500–$12,300 | $14,900–$17,400 |

| 30 squares | $11,800–$13,900 | $15,700–$18,500 | $22,300–$26,200 |
Tiers: Good = 3-tab asphalt shingle · Better = Architectural shingle · Best = Premium / designer shingle. These are estimates — your pitch, complexity, and tear-off change the final figure.
