Nacogdoches Roof Pros: Replacement, Repair & Eave Rebuilds
Expert residential and commercial roofing services across Deep East Texas. Written quotes, with the eave carpentry priced up front.
Eave carpentry priced as its own line, before you sign·Rafter tails probed with an awl, never just eyeballed·Texas issues no roofing license; ask us for certificates·Crews based in Nacogdoches and Lufkin, here next year
Nacogdoches Roof Pros covers roof replacement, metal roofing, low-slope membrane work, roof leak repair and storm damage restoration across Nacogdoches, Lufkin and the rest of Deep East Texas. Laminated asphalt shingles, standing seam panel, TPO and modified bitumen, plus the fascia, soffit and deck carpentry that has to happen underneath any of them.
That last part is why homeowners here call us twice. In a county that takes 49 inches of rain a year, the roof edge is what fails first: the fascia board, the rafter tails and the first courses of decking above them. A crew that shingles over soft wood has sold you a covering rather than a roof. We price the carpentry as its own line before you sign anything.
We work residential and commercial alike, on houses in town and out on the county roads, rental property near the university, metal shop and agricultural buildings, brick storefronts downtown, and low-slope additions at schools and churches. Free written quotes with photographs, no pressure, and a plain verdict: repair it now, rebuild the eave, or replace the covering.
Our Roofing Services in Nacogdoches, TX
Roof Replacement
A full replacement in Nacogdoches County is the only time anyone sees the roof edge. Once the shingles come off, you can see the rafter tails, the fascia behind the gutter and roughly the first yard of decking, and that is where the money belongs.
Roof Leak Repair
A leak here is not a stain problem. It is a moisture supply.
Storm Damage Restoration
The storms that reach Nacogdoches County have usually already been somewhere else. Tropical systems arrive from the southeast with the wind on the wrong side of the house, and spring squall lines come through in the dark with several inches of water behind them.
Hail Damage Roofing
Hail reaches this county, but it is not the reason most roofs here look worn. Telling a real impact bruise apart from the granule loss and mat blistering that a wet, warm East Texas roof produces on its own is most of the work on this page.
Wind Damage Roofing
Wind rarely starts a failure in the middle of a Nacogdoches roof. It starts at the edge, because the edge is where the fasteners sit closest to wood that has been wet longest, and a soft board holds a nail about as well as cardboard.
Roof Inspections
Our inspection is mostly a wood inspection. Anybody can photograph shingles.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Most roofs in Nacogdoches County are laminated asphalt shingles, and most of them will be again. What is worth arguing about is not the name printed on the wrapper.
Metal Roofing
Metal is the best structural answer to the eave problem, and also the easiest one to botch. A panel can be run out past the fascia onto a hemmed eave trim so the water leaves the building without ever touching wood.
Tile Roofing
There is very little tile in Nacogdoches County, and there are good reasons for that. We install it, we maintain the few roofs that have it, and on most East Texas houses we will talk you out of it before you spend the money.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing
Low-slope roofs in this county sit on downtown brick buildings around the square, on school and church additions, and on the back half of houses where somebody enclosed a porch. All three fail at the perimeter first.
Roof Coatings & Sealing
Coatings are the product we sell least and argue about most. Sprayed over a sound roof with life left, an acrylic or silicone coating is a reasonable way to buy years.
Roof Ventilation
Attic ventilation in this county is a carpentry problem far more often than it is a fan problem. The commonest reason a Nacogdoches attic stays wet is that somebody wrapped the soffit shut in solid aluminum while replacing rotten fascia.
Skylights
The most useful thing we can tell you about skylights in Deep East Texas is that the old ones should usually come out. A plastic dome on a site-built curb, installed in the seventies, is a leak with a schedule.
Gutters & Downspouts
On most houses gutters are a convenience. On a house in Nacogdoches County they are the fascia's only protection, which makes them structural, and it also means a badly hung gutter does more damage than no gutter at all.
Fascia & Soffit
Every other page on this site eventually arrives here. Fascia and soffit are treated as trim carpentry almost everywhere in the country.
Chimney Flashing
Chimneys leak more than any other penetration on an East Texas roof, and never where the homeowner thinks. It starts above the chimney, on the uphill side, where nothing moves the water around it.
Emergency Tarping
A tarp buys two weeks. It is not a repair, and the way it is fastened decides whether the work afterward is small or large.
Commercial Roofing
Commercial work in this region is three things: brick buildings on and around the Nacogdoches square, metal buildings across Angelina and Shelby counties, and low-slope additions on schools, churches and clinics. Each fails differently and none of them fails in the middle.
Insurance Claim Help
We will help you put a claim file together. We will not help you put a false one together.
Why Nacogdoches Chooses Nacogdoches Roof Pros
- ✓We open the eave before we quote. Every proposal carries a per-foot rate for fascia and rafter-tail repair with a written cap, so the wood is never a surprise.
- ✓We will not wrap aluminum coil over a fascia board we have not probed, which happens to be the most profitable single thing a roofer can sell in this county.
- ✓Moisture scan and a core cut before any coating or recover. If the deck reads wet we tear off, explain why, and give you the sample to look at.
- ✓Maintenance and storm damage go onto separate documents, so a claim file never mixes five years of decay with fifteen minutes of wind and loses both.
- ✓Powered attic fans come out rather than go in. Baffled static ventilation sized to the attic square footage, with the soffit intake actually opened back up.
- ✓Free written quote with photographs of the eave, the flashings and the attic, whether the honest answer is a small repair or a full replacement.
About Nacogdoches Roof Pros in Nacogdoches, TX
Nacogdoches Roof Pros works out of the oldest town in Texas and covers the six counties around it: Nacogdoches, Angelina, San Augustine, Shelby, Rusk and Houston. Our crews are local, which in this business mostly means we will still be reachable in three years, and it means we have been back on the same houses more than once.
We built the company around one observation. Roofs in Deep East Texas fail at the edge, and almost nobody prices that honestly. So we probe the eave before we quote, we separate the carpentry from the covering on paper, and we photograph what we find. It has cost us jobs against companies that quoted a shingle number and discovered the rot later. We would rather lose those.
Here is when not to hire us. If the roof needs one pipe boot or a few tabs and you have a handyman you trust, use him, because our minimum will not make sense for that work. If you want the cheapest possible number and you do not want the eave opened, we are the wrong company. And if the plan is to get a worn-out roof paid for as storm damage, we will decline.

How It Works
Ladder, Awl and Camera
We start at the eave. Rafter tails get probed along the whole run, the deck edge gets sounded, and the soffit gets checked for intake that a previous crew wrapped shut. Then the field, the flashings and the attic. Every photograph we take is yours, hired or not.
Two Numbers, Not One
The quote separates the roof covering from the eave carpentry, with a per-foot rate and a cap on the wood. You know the worst case before anyone touches the roof, and if we open the eave and find less damage than the cap allows, the invoice goes down instead of up.
Wood First, Then Covering
Soft sections come out back to sound material, sub-fascia is let in, rafter tails are scarfed or sistered, and everything is primed on all six faces. Drip edge and starter go on correctly at the eave. Only then does the covering start, and it goes onto a deck we have walked.
Swept, Photographed, Warranted
We magnet-sweep the yard and the drive, walk the finished job with you from the ground with photographs of the eave detail and every penetration, and hand over a written workmanship warranty that names the carpentry as well as the roof covering it sits under.

What Nacogdoches Customers Say
Got a second opinion after another company quoted a straight shingle replacement. These guys put a ladder up, probed the fascia, and found eleven feet of rot the first quote never mentioned. Fixed the wood, then the roof, same week.
Our shop building was leaking at the screws. They re-screwed the entire roof with larger fasteners and new washers instead of selling us a replacement panel system. Came in at about a fifth of what we had set aside for it.
They took the gutters down, rebuilt the fascia underneath, and rehung everything on hidden hangers. Explained exactly why the old spikes were the problem. No pressure, written quote, and the final invoice came in under the cap.
Called at seven on a Sunday night with water coming through the kitchen ceiling. They tarped over the ridge, pulled the soaked insulation out, and were back Thursday to do the repair properly. Photographs of every step of it.

We maintain and replace roofs on the brick buildings around the square, on metal shop and agricultural buildings across Angelina and Shelby counties, and on low-slope additions at schools, churches and clinics.

Work is staged so the building stays dry every night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Texas require a roofing contractor to be licensed?
No. Texas issues no roofing license at the state level, and Nacogdoches does not create one either. The state does license termite work through the Department of Agriculture, which is a strange gap once you think about what actually destroys roofs here. Ask any roofer for a current certificate of general liability and workers' compensation sent directly by the carrier, plus local references you can drive past.
Why do your quotes have a separate line for fascia and soffit?
Because on most houses in this county that is the part that has failed, and pricing it after the tear-off starts is how people end up agreeing to numbers on the spot with a crew already on the roof. We give a per-foot rate and a cap. If we open the eave and find less rot than the cap allows, you pay only for what we actually replaced.
How long should a roof last in Nacogdoches?
A properly installed architectural laminate over sound decking gives about 25 to 30 years here, and standing seam metal goes considerably longer. What shortens both is not the sun. It is water sitting at the eave from an overflowing or badly hung gutter, which takes the wood out from under the fasteners years before the shingles themselves are worn out.
Do you work outside the Nacogdoches city limits?
Yes, and most of our work is. We cover Nacogdoches, Angelina, Shelby, San Augustine, Rusk and Houston counties, which is a great deal of unincorporated ground with no inspector anywhere in the process. On those jobs the manufacturer's printed installation instructions are the only real standard, so we follow them and give you the documentation to prove it.
My adjuster said the roof is just worn out. Is that the end of it?
Not necessarily, but be honest with yourself first. Decay and insect damage are excluded on every homeowner policy in Texas, so if the eave is soft the carrier is probably right about that part. Wind and hail damage are separate items and can be re-inspected, supported with an engineer's report, or taken to the appraisal clause in your policy.
Do I actually need gutters on a house here?
On most houses, yes, but a gutter hung on spikes through a rotten fascia is worse than none at all, because it holds standing water against the exact board you are trying to save. If your fascia is soft, the right sequence is to take the gutter down, rebuild the wood, then rehang the trough on hidden hangers screwed into solid material.
