William Farrington began developing Tanglewood in 1949 on open prairie off San Felipe. Today its roughly 1,200 lots range from original mid-century homes to large two-story houses built in their place, under mature trees on nearly every street. That mix means roof jobs here vary a lot: a low-pitched ranch roof on one lot, a steep, multi-gable roof on the next.
Things Tanglewood homeowners should know
- Deed restrictions: Tanglewood’s recorded deed restrictions are enforced by the Tanglewood Homes Association, and exterior changes can need its written approval. The homeowner handles HOA and deed-restriction approval; share the terms with us and we will build to them.
- Permits: Tanglewood is inside Houston city limits, so permits go through the City of Houston. We confirm permit requirements for your address before scheduling.
- Mature trees and close neighbors: we plan material drop-off, tear-off and cleanup around your landscaping and the homes next door, with magnet sweeps and daily cleanup.
- Windstorm: Tanglewood is outside the TWIA-designated windstorm area, so a WPI-8 is generally not required. City of Houston permits and inspections still apply.
Roofing options for Tanglewood homes
- Architectural shingles — CertainTeed Landmark & Presidential, including Class 4 impact-resistant options.
- Standing seam metal — 26-gauge steel panels with concealed fasteners.
- Composite roofing — Brava synthetic shake and slate.
For newer two-story homes, owners often weigh designer shingles against standing seam metal or Brava composite shake and slate. For original mid-century homes, the right choice usually depends on roof pitch, so we measure it and talk through what will look right and last.
Financing is available through Synchrony, including 0% same-as-cash for 12 months on projects of $2,500 or more and terms up to 84 months. See financing options.

★★★★★“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!”
