Beware Of The “Lowball” Roofers: The Dangers
Of The Dirt-Cheap Houston, TX Roofing Bid
At Proper Roofing, We NEVER Compromise Quality…
Even When It Costs Us The Job
Let’s face it — roofing in Houston, Texas is a significant investment into your home. Like any investment, you want to get the most “bang for your buck.” Every roofer understands this, and many of them slap together the cheapest materials possible just to underbid the competition. Unfortunately, the “too good to be true” quote… well, usually is.
At Proper Roofing, we do things differently.
We don’t cut corners, and we don’t compete with roofers who do. Instead, we build premium, storm-grade roofing systems that last and are backed with industry-leading warranties. In other words, our roofing systems provide better VALUE — a better “bang for your buck.”
And if a homeowner is only looking for the lowest bid and doesn’t care what materials are going on their roof? We’re okay walking away. Because we’d rather lose the job than install a roof we KNOW won’t hold up.
Three Problems With Lowball Roofers
If you’re like most homeowners, your home is your biggest investment. And like any investment, you want to protect it The “Proper” Way. And if you don’t? Well, not to scare you, but… you might (literally) pay the price for it later. Here are three reasons why your lowball quote is most likely “too good to be true.”
#1. Cheap Materials = Expensive Repairs
So, how are the lowballers able to offer such terrific prices? They use the cheapest materials and the least-skilled roofers they can find. Even worse, they mix and match parts, which voids your warranty on everything.
And, ultimately, the cheaper materials break down earlier than they should.
- The underlayment tears.
- The shingles start curling.
- The ridge vents clog or crack.
At Proper Roofing, we use premium materials that can handle Houston’s weather swings, high winds, and hail. Yes, it costs more upfront. But it saves you thousands down the road.
#2. Manufacturers Can (And Will) Deny Your Warranty.
Your warranty is most likely worthless if the roofer used incompatible parts. After all, the manufacturer can’t confirm that your roof’s failure is their fault. And, honestly, if it’s a mix-and-match roof, it probably isn’t the manufacturer’s fault.
With Proper Roofing, your warranty remains valid.
We install full, certified roofing systems from IKO. Every shingle, underlayment, ridge cap, and starter strip comes from the same manufacturer and meets every single installation specification.
#3. You Live In Texas — Your Roof Gets Hot!
Houston’s heat doesn’t mess around. Low-end roofing materials don’t just age faster in this climate, they fail faster.
Cheap materials simply aren’t designed to perform in the kind of heat and humidity we live with here in Texas. Cheap materials lead to blistered shingles, warped sealant, and poor attic ventilation.
Our materials are tested, rated, and proven to thrive in extreme heat. Better insulation. Better airflow. And better long-term performance — all backed by impact resistance and energy savings you can see and feel.
