Friendswood roofs range widely in age. Areas around Wedgewood and Forest Bend are mostly homes from the mid-1970s, many on their second or third roof. Polly Ranch dates from the early 1980s, and Wilderness Trails, Eagle Lakes and West Ranch from 1990 on. The city also has some of the heaviest tree cover in the area, which changes how a roof ages.
Things Friendswood homeowners should know
- Which county are you in? Friendswood is split between Galveston and Harris counties. The Galveston County side is in the state’s designated windstorm area, so a new roof there generally needs a windstorm inspection and WPI-8 certificate from TDI. The Harris County side generally does not. Check your address on TDI’s map.
- Tree cover: overhanging limbs, debris in valleys and shaded sections that stay damp all shorten a roof’s life. We look for them during the inspection and can recommend trimming before the install.
- HOAs: The homeowner handles HOA approval; share your HOA’s terms with us and we will build to them.
- Permits: we confirm permit requirements for your address before scheduling.

★★★★★“Quick to help and came through for us! We had some rotten wood under the shingles that was letting in water and getting the ceiling wet and mildewed. These guys showed up and knocked it out of the park! Roof work done same day followed by fixing the ceiling drywall/texture. Looks great and can't even tell they replaced a section of the roof. Highly recommend!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in Friendswood?
Yes, for reroofs, siding and windows. Permits are issued by Friendswood Community Development, 910 S. Friendswood Dr., 281-996-3201. A city permit fee applies, and it's included in your proposal. We pull the permit before work starts.
Is my Friendswood home in the windstorm area?
It depends on which side of the county line you are on. The Galveston County side of Friendswood is in the TWIA-designated area, so a roof replacement there generally needs a TDI-appointed windstorm inspection and a WPI-8. The Harris County side is not in the designated area, and the city's final inspection applies instead. Glass-only window swaps, gutters, and roof repairs under 100 square feet with no decking replaced are generally exempt. We will confirm which side your address is on. We can't guarantee the outcome of any inspection.
Do I need HOA approval in Friendswood?
Getting HOA approval is up to the homeowner. Share your HOA's terms with us and we will build to them.
How long will my Friendswood project take?
A typical reroof is a few days of work once materials are on site. Permits, inspections and weather can change the overall timeline, and we give you an estimated schedule in writing rather than a guaranteed date.
Are you actually based in Friendswood?
Yes. Built by Revitalize is based in Friendswood, so most Friendswood jobs are a short drive for our crew.
