Top Odessa roofers

The best roofing company in Odessafor YOU

While many homeowners simply default to shingled roofs, there's ample choice among roofing types. If you're looking for something special for your home, like a tile or metal roof , then we recommend that you look for a company with expertise in installing these roofing systems. Additionally, roof-mounted solar panels or solar shingles will often require specialist installers, so ask your roofer in advance if you want to outfit your home with these systems.

If you have kids or pets, it's a good idea to consult with your roofing company about the protection strategies they use. Most reputable companies will use magnet sweepers to pick up fallen nails. If you cite specific concerns, many companies will be happy to provide extra attention to detail. 

While we always recommend that customers ask if their roofer pulls any required permits, Odessa does not require permits for roofing.

Best roofing companies in Odessa, Texas

Roofs By Nicholas is the best overall Odessa roofing company

Roofs By Nicholas is a Midland-based roofing company that's focused on the needs of the Odessa and Midland communities for the last 38 years. The company is a Gold Member of the Midland Chamber of Commerce. It has a second location in Lubbock. Together, the two offices serve the Permian Basin and West Texas. Its services include full roof replacements with shingles or metal, solar installations and hail repair.

Roofs By Nicholas is a Platinum Preferred Contractor with Owens Corning, which certifies the company's expertise with Owens Corning shingles and enables it to provide top-quality manufacturer's warranties. However, the company uses a variety of roofing products, from brands like CertainTeed as well as Owens Corning. This means that its warranties vary considerably from product to product. We were told that shingles can come with 25-, 30-year or lifetime warranties furnished by the manufacturer. Additionally, the company guarantees its work with a three-year workmanship warranty. Most of its shingles are transferable once with a sale, within a specific time frame.

The company uses a call service to connect its estimators with customers. All estimates will require an inspection, as the company does not offer aerial estimates. To book a job, the company generally asks for a down payment of half. It takes standard payments and works with a service for financing. Cards are processed with a 4% fee.

Services offered

• Roof replacements

• Roof repairs

• Commercial roofing

• Solar

• Roofing accessories

Roofs By Nicholas completes most roofing jobs in a day or two, although weather fronts will cause the company to push its schedule back. Odessa does not require permits for roofing work. 

The team makes protection a priority and takes care to leave its jobsite clean. The estimator we spoke to told us that they have a three-step process: first, they tarp the jobsite to catch fallen nails and refuse; then they run a magnet sweeper around the site to collect nails; finally, the site supervisor will return for a full inspection of the property and run a magnet over the yard again.

Roofs By Nicholas is accredited by the BBB with an A+ rating; it has one complaint on record with the service. The company has a 4.9-star rating on Google (345 reviews), a 4.1-star rating on Yelp (15 reviews) and a 4.2-star rating on Angi (21 reviews). 

The company is located at 10204 Farm to Market 307, Midland, Texas, 79706. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For a quote, call 432-278-3831 or visit the website .

Customer testimonial

I had a fantastic experience with this company. Since moving to West Texas, I've heard many nightmare stories about other businesses. However, after a big storm, Will came out to help. He met with the insurance adjuster at my house, and even though the insurance company wasn't very helpful, he upgraded and repaired our roof at what I considered a very reasonable price. If you're in West Texas and need any roofing work done, I highly recommend Roofs by Nicholas. You won't be disappointed. - Dr. Fred I., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

HUF Construction is our top alternativeOdessa roofer

HUF Construction is one of those companies where we were immediately impressed by the customer service, as soon as we called in. The estimator we spoke to was smart, quick to level with us and forthright about the types of roofing systems he recommends for the area. When we asked about more expensive products, he even expressed concern about their value in the Permian Basin — prone to hail and high winds, as it is — and instead recommended something more moderately priced that provides superior value for local conditions.

The company isn't an Odessa exclusive. Instead, HUF Construction has offices located across Texas. Locations include Benton and Austin.

While HUF Construction will install roofing systems including slate, metal and more, where shingles are concerned, it works with a wide variety of brands, from GAF to Owens Corning and TAMKO. With so many different brands, manufacturer warranties vary. However, the estimator we spoke to told us that he recommends a shingle with a 30-year prorated warranty. The company itself provides a five-year workmanship warranty.

While the company only gives real estimates after inspecting a property, our contact told us that a typical roof replacement on an Odessa home usually costs between $15,000 and $19,000. The company does not charge a down payment for work to begin. It accepts standard payments as well as financing. However, the representative we spoke to told us that payment details would be discussed during a formal estimate, so we weren't able to learn whether card payments accrue a fee.

Services offered

• Residential roofing

• Commercial roofing

• Slate roofs

• Roof repairs

• Flat roofs

The company completes most roofing jobs quickly. Storms and weather fronts will cause the team to push the schedule back to the next dry day.

The company uses a few systems and strategies to keep work sites clean, catching nails before they hit the ground, then sweeping with a magnet to pick up any stragglers. When we asked if the company formally background-checks its team, our contact said that it does, and that it has a contractor who does that. 

HUF Construction is not accredited by the BBB , though it has an A+ rating. It has no complaints on file with the service. The company has a 4.9-star rating on Google (106 reviews) and a five-star rating on Angi (six reviews). It has no reviews on file on Yelp.

The Permian Basin chapter of the company is located at 2412 N. Grandview Ave., Odessa, Texas, 79761. It is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Monday through Friday and closed on the weekends. For a quote, call 432-389-2216 or visit the website . 

Customer testimonial

I just had a new roof replaced by Huf Construction this week. They did a fabulous job. They used high quality roof shingles. They took their time until my roof looked perfect. I think my roof looks better than any of the other houses in our neighborhood who didn't have their roofs replaced by HUF. When they were finished the did a fantastic job cleaning up around my yard. They left it cleaner than when they arrived that morning to start the project. - Pete M., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Texas roofing FAQs

How much does the average roof replacement cost in Texas?

Frontline Solutions , a roofer based in McAllen, Texas, reports that a shingle roof replacement in the state can run from roughly $4,000 to $16,000. This is a slightly wider range than the national average cost for shingles , which typically ranges from $5,869 to $13,220. HUF Construction quoted us a higher range: from $15,000 to $19,000.

The final price of a roof replacement can vary widely depending on the materials you choose and the specific services your home requires. Premium options like slate or cedar shakes will increase the cost.

How do I know if my roof needs repairs or a full replacement?

If you're not a trained roofer, it's best to have a professional assess whether your roof needs simple repairs or a full replacement . Even so, staying aware of potential issues can help, as many homeowners can spot early warning signs on their own. Missing shingles or leaks are clear indications that an inspection should happen right away.

It's also wise to schedule inspections around major weather events. Preparing your roof ahead of hurricane season, blizzards or summer storms can help prevent serious problems; it's worth looking for damage after these events as well. Harsh storms can put significant stress on a roof, and in some cases, your homeowner's insurance may be more likely to cover the cost of an inspection — or even a replacement — if you can document that the damage was storm-related.

Are there roofing regulations or permits required in Texas? 

Texas does not regulate roofing contractors at the state level. Regulation is largely left to municipal governments or industry associations. As a result, homeowners often need to verify a roofer's qualifications themselves, since most people can legally perform roofing work. We recommend choosing roofers certified by local or regional roofing associations.

You can read our full guide to Texas roofing licensing and regulations for more details.

How long does a roof typically last in Texas? 

Texas is a large state with a wide range of climates. Depending on the region, a roof may face hail, hurricanes, desert heat or relatively mild conditions.

HUF Construction reports that a shingle roof in Texas generally lasts between 15 and 20 years, which is lower than the 20 to 30 years expected in many parts of the country . Lifespan varies based on climate and the materials used.

Apple Roofing , a Texas company, notes that flat roofs typically last 10 to 40 years, depending on the finishing material.

Homeowners who want maximum durability may want to consider higher-end materials such as slate, tile or metal. These premium options can last from 40 years to well over a century.

What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Texas?

Texas heat is intense, and rooftop temperatures climb even higher because of direct sun exposure and materials like asphalt shingles. While summer is the peak roofing season in many states — and often the busiest time — extreme heat in Texas can slow down work.

Beyond heat, storms are another major factor in Texas, with hail and high winds plaguing West Texas and the Permian Basin, and hurricanes and tropical storms drenching the East. Depending on your roof's condition, you may benefit from arranging work either before these storms arrive or afterward to address any damage.

Thanks to mild winters and warm transitional seasons, roofing can be done year-round in Texas. That said, the mild temperatures of spring and fall can present the best opportunities. If you're concerned about how seasonal weather might affect your project, talk with your roofer about timing and conditions when you book.
