PERMITS

Houston Permitting Center ↗

Houston has a residential roofing permit for re-roofing or a roofing overlay. Its page identifies application worksheets and inspection requirements. Check whether the address is inside Houston before using that process.

832-394-8820

Service scope: the municipal permitting jurisdiction. Verify your exact address with the department; a mailing address is not a boundary determination. Official source checked September 20, 2026.

INSURANCE

Start with your insurer’s claims department

Use the claims contact on the policy or the insurer’s official website. An independent agent is not necessarily the insurer handling your existing claim.

For statewide insurance questions: Texas Department of Insurance, 800-252-3439. This is regulatory assistance, not claim intake.
