Roof Replacement & Installation

Expert Roof Replacement For Houston Home Owners

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements—shielding your family, preserving your investment, and enhancing curb appeal. When it’s time for a roof replacement or new installation, choosing the right materials and professionals makes all the difference. At Champion Forest Exteriors, we specialize in high-performance roofing systems built to stand the test of time—with GAF Timberline® shingles as our exclusive product of choice.

When Is It Time for a Roof Replacement?

Most homeowners wait too long to replace a failing roof, often reacting only after leaks or visible damage occur. However, a proactive approach can save thousands in repairs and prevent serious structural issues. Watch for these telltale signs that your roof may need replacement:

Missing, cracked, or curling shingles

Dark streaks or moss growth

Sagging or soft roof decking

Exposed or rusted flashing

Water stains on ceilings or attic insulation

Excessive granules in gutters

If your roof is more than 15–20 years old, especially if it’s made of lower-grade 3-tab shingles, it may be time to consider an upgrade to architectural-grade, wind-rated asphalt shingles like GAF Timberline.

Why Choose GAF Timberline® Shingles for Your Roof Replacement

At Champion Forest Exteriors, we install only GAF Timberline® Roofing Systems—America’s #1-selling shingle—for one simple reason: they outperform
the competition in every category.

Roof Installation: What to Expect from Start to Finish

Our process is structured, professional, and respectful of your home and time. From the first inspection to final cleanup, we prioritize clarity, craftsmanship, and communication.

Step 1: Free Consultation & Roof Inspection

We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your current roof. Our specialists inspect your shingles, flashing, decking, and ventilation. Then, we present honest recommendations and custom solutions, not pushy sales tactics.

Step 2: Custom Quote & Materials Selection

We walk you through your shingle style and color options, underlayment products, and ventilation solutions. We’ll provide a transparent, all-inclusive quote—no surprise charges or upsells.

Step 3: Tear-Off & Preparation

On installation day, our team removes the old roofing material, inspects the decking for damage, and installs moisture barriers and roof deck protection. This step is crucial for a watertight seal and long-term durability.

Step 4: Shingle Installation

Using GAF’s LayerLock™ Technology, our certified team installs each Timberline shingle precisely and securely. We follow manufacturer specifications to preserve your warranty and maximize performance.

Step 5: Final Cleanup & Inspection

After installation, we conduct a meticulous site cleanup and perform a detailed inspection to ensure everything meets our standards—and yours. Our crews leave no nails, debris, or surprises behind.

The Benefits of Professional Roof Replacement

Replacing your roof is a significant investment—but one that delivers long-term protection, comfort, and value. Here’s what homeowners gain with a professional roof installation:

Increased Home Value

A new roof can boost property value and improve resale potential. Buyers prioritize recent upgrades, especially roofing, for its impact on energy efficiency and appearance.

Improved Energy Efficiency

When paired with attic insulation and proper ventilation, a new roof can stabilize indoor temperatures, lower energy usage, and reduce monthly utility costs.

Insurance Premium Reductions

Installing wind-rated shingles like GAF Timberline may qualify you for homeowner’s insurance discounts—especially in storm-prone areas like the Houston metro.

Peace of Mind

With a warranty-backed system installed by trusted professionals, you won’t have to worry about leaks, mold, or emergency repairs.
