Short answer: Flat and low-slope roofs in Houston are usually TPO ($5.50–$9 a sq ft installed), EPDM ($4.50–$8) or modified bitumen ($3–$7); the membrane lasts 15–25 years, mostly decided by how well the drains are kept clear. In Houston: 10 heavy-rain days a year (1 inch+). 19 of the roofers below have a license we checked; for any other, ask for a license number and a certificate of insurance.

How much life is left in my Houston roof?
Typical lifespans are published ranges for each material; for a Houston house, real life also depends on installation, attic ventilation and the weather Houston gets.

If insurance covers it, what do I pay in Houston?
Only if the claim is approved. The ACV math is a straight-line example over a 25-year life; insurers writing Houston policies use their own schedules, so check your policy.
Has hail hit my Houston roof since it was installed?
County-level hail reports for Houston from the NOAA archive this page uses; a county report is not proof of damage at your Houston address.

On Houston's coast, flat roof systems must handle wind uplift — ballasted membranes can become projectiles in a major storm, so fully-adhered or mechanically-fastened systems are the right specification here. Common flat roof systems in Houston include TPO (heat-welded, energy-efficient), EPDM (durable rubber membrane), and modified bitumen — each with different cost, longevity, and maintenance profiles worth discussing with a local contractor.
