Roofing Company in Cinco Ranch, TX
Cinco Ranch is almost entirely a 1990s and 2000s neighborhood. The planned community opened in 1991, and six in ten homes here were built between 1980 and 1999. Most of those houses are now on their original roof or on a first replacement that is itself getting old, which makes Cinco Ranch a neighborhood of second and third roofs.

When were Cinco Ranch homes built?
Mostly in one burst. According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, the Cinco Ranch census-designated place holds 6,215 homes with a median year built of 1997, and almost none are older than the community itself:
- 60.5%built 1980-1999
- 32.6%built 2000-2009
- 3.4%built before 1980
- 85.4%single-family detached
Only 3.4% of homes predate 1980, and another 3.4% were built in 2010 or later. Nearly everything else went up across a span of about fifteen years. On a single street, most roofs therefore reach the end of their life within a few years of each other, and many homeowners are deciding on a replacement at the same time as their neighbors.
What changes when a 1990s house gets its second roof?
The standard has moved since the house was built. A 1990s roof was often a lighter shingle over felt paper, with box vents and little soffit intake. A replacement today can use a heavier architectural or impact-rated shingle, a synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water membrane in the valleys, and continuous ridge ventilation.
| Part | Typical original 1990s roof | What we write on a replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Underlayment | Felt paper | Synthetic underlayment, membrane in valleys |
| Shingle | Three-tab or early architectural | Architectural or impact-rated, your choice |
| Exhaust vents | Box vents or turbines | Ridge vent sized to the attic |
| Flashing | Original, often sealed over | New step, wall and pipe flashing |
Each upgrade is a separate line on the estimate, so you can see what it adds and decide.
How do Cinco Ranch HOA rules affect a roof replacement?
They mostly govern how the roof looks. Cinco Ranch is a planned community, and planned communities usually keep architectural standards for exterior materials and colors. Your village or association decides what is allowed, so read the current guidelines or call the management office before choosing a color.
- Bring the exact product. A committee needs the shingle maker, line and color, not "dark gray".
- Allow review time. Submit before you schedule, especially after a hailstorm when many neighbors apply at once.
- Ask about metal. If you want a metal roof, confirm it is permitted on your street first.
We prepare the product details and a simple scope summary you can attach to the application.

Cinco Ranch roofing questions
My Cinco Ranch home still has its original 1990s roof. What should I expect?
Expect a full tear-off and a careful look at the decking. A roof that old has been through many summers and storms, and the shingles were usually a three-tab or early architectural grade. Once it is stripped we replace any soft or delaminated sheathing, install new underlayment and flashing, and upgrade the venting. The estimate lists a decking allowance so there are no surprises.
Does the Cinco Ranch homeowners association approve new roofs?
Planned communities like Cinco Ranch generally have architectural guidelines, and roof color and material are typical items on them. Check your village's current rules before ordering shingles. We provide the manufacturer, product line and color name so the review committee can approve the exact roof we will install.
Was my first replacement done right if it was installed over the old roof?
Possibly not. Some early re-roofs were laid over the original shingles to save time. A second layer hides soft decking and adds weight, and the building code does not allow a new roof over two existing layers. We count the layers from the attic and the eaves on the free visit and price a complete strip when there is more than one.
Is Cinco Ranch in a windstorm inspection area?
No. Cinco Ranch lies in Fort Bend and Harris counties, outside TWIA's coverage area, which covers the 14 first-tier coastal counties and five Harris County cities east of State Highway 146. A TDI windstorm certificate is not part of the job here. Ask your own insurer whether a new roof or impact-rated shingles change your premium.
Can a new roof make my Cinco Ranch upstairs cooler?
It can help. Many two-story homes from the 1990s have hot second floors because the attic has too little intake at the soffits or exhaust at the ridge. When we replace the roof we balance intake and exhaust and can add a ridge vent along the full length, which lets the attic shed heat. It is not a substitute for insulation, but it takes load off both.
Get the new roof planned before the old one comes off
We measure every slope, check the decking and the attic ventilation, and write the estimate before a single shingle is torn off.
Ready to find out what a new roof will take?
The roof measurement is free. We check the decking, count the layers, measure every slope and write the material, underlayment and flashing line by line.
