Full tear-off to the deck and a shingle system built for Gulf Coast heat and hail — priced in writing for your Southdale home before anything starts.
Southdale is one of Bellaire's established mid-century subdivisions, built mostly in the 1950s-60s with the low-pitch asphalt-shingle roofs typical of that era's ranch-style homes. A lot of original decking is still under a second or third layer of shingles here.
Original 1950s-60s decking is common under later shingle layers — a tear-off often finds more repair work than expected once the old layers come off
Mature tree canopy across the subdivision means more granule loss and moss/algae staining than newer, more open subdivisions
Low-pitch rooflines are less forgiving of ponding at valleys than the steeper roofs in some of Bellaire's newer construction
It depends on roof size, pitch, decking condition and shingle tier — which is exactly why we inspect before quoting rather than giving a number over the phone. You get every line item in writing.
Only where it's genuinely needed. Nobody knows the decking's condition until the old shingles come off — any rotten or damaged sheathing is priced as part of the written estimate, not sprung on you afterward.
