Roofing Services in Hempstead, TX

Hempstead has been the Waller County seat since Dr. Richard Rodgers Peebles and James W. McDade organized the Hempstead Town Company on December 29, 1856, naming the town for Peebles' brother-in-law, Dr. G. S. B. Hempstead. That history matters for roofing because the county's own weather records show a direct hit: in 1998, severe thunderstorms dropped 2.00-inch hail on Hempstead itself, part of a wider damage event across the region. Hail that size punches through shingles and dents metal roofing and gutters alike, and it's exactly the kind of damage ROYH Build Co inspects for on every roof repair call in town.

If your roof took a hit during a storm you can't quite place the date on, storm damage roof repair starts with a straightforward inspection, not a guess.

The Houston and Texas Central Railway reached Hempstead on June 29, 1858, and the railroad turned the town into a distribution point between the Gulf Coast and interior Texas, a role you can still see in the older downtown blocks. Outside that historic core, Hempstead is also the self-declared Watermelon Capital of Texas, once the top U.S. shipper of the crop and still home to an annual Watermelon Festival every July at the Waller County Fairgrounds, which has hosted the Waller County Fair & Rodeo since the fair association organized in 1945.

That's two very different roofing environments in one small town: railroad-era commercial buildings downtown and farm properties spreading toward the Brazos River bottoms. ROYH Build Co works both, and homeowners in nearby Prairie View and Waller can expect the same standard of storm repair work we bring across the rest of Waller County.
