Montgomery is the oldest town in Montgomery County, founded back in 1837, and that history shows in the roofs here. Historic downtown homes sit alongside newer construction out toward Lake Conroe, which means we see everything from century-old rooflines to houses built in the last few years, each with different needs.
Lake Conroe brings its own weather. Hurricane Beryl in July 2024 pushed wind gusts into the 80s mph across Montgomery County, snapping trees onto homes in nearby neighborhoods and forcing a temporary closure of the lake itself. Add in the humidity off the water, and Montgomery roofs take on a mix of wind, heat, and moisture that we know how to plan for.

Petrus Roofing works on homes and businesses throughout Montgomery, from the streets around the historic downtown square out to the lakeside communities of Walden, Water Crest, and Del Lago. A roof on a century-old property and a roof on a five-year-old lakefront build have very little in common, and neither does what they need from us. That is why we start by getting up there and looking, and why the recommendation comes after the inspection rather than before it.

Our 7-point inspection covers the roof, the attic, and the places where damage tends to hide, and we document all of it with more than 50 photos and videos. You get a plain-language walkthrough of the condition of your roof and a straight answer about what it needs.

Older Montgomery homes reach a point where another repair is no longer the sensible spend. When yours gets there, we'll help you choose a roofing system that suits the age and style of the house as well as your budget.

Wind damage announces itself; a slow leak usually does not, and by the time a ceiling stain appears the water has been moving for a while. We trace the problem back to where it starts, repair it properly, and flag anything else on the roof that needs attention.

Lakeside tree cover drops debris into valleys and gutters, and humidity off Lake Conroe keeps shaded sections damp longer after rain. Routine maintenance clears the debris, keeps flashing sealed, and finds the small problems while they are still small.

Beryl showed how quickly a limb can open up a roofline. When that happens, we get a tarp over the exposed area fast so the next rain stays outside while the permanent repair is worked out.

Petrus also looks after commercial roofs for the shops, offices, and other businesses in and around historic downtown Montgomery. Inspections, repairs, replacement, and maintenance all get handled with the schedule of a working business in mind.
Between lake humidity, summer heat, high winds, and limbs coming off mature trees, a Montgomery roof has to handle several different kinds of stress. Petrus installs and repairs three roofing systems here, and the right one depends as much on your house as on the weather.
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof in Montgomery, and they cover a broad range of budgets. Modern architectural shingles carry solid wind ratings and come in enough colors to suit both a historic home and a new lakefront build. Ventilation and underlayment matter as much as the shingle itself, which is where careful installation earns its keep.

Metal is worth a serious look if your home sits near the water. It handles wind well, sheds rain and debris quickly, and copes with the constant moisture better than most alternatives. Properly installed, a metal roof will outlast a shingle roof by a wide margin.

Tile gives a distinctive roofline and a very long service life, which is why it turns up on some of Montgomery's larger properties. It needs proper maintenance and, more importantly, a structure built to carry the weight. We'll look at what is underneath before we tell you tile is an option.


Replacing a roof is a significant expense, and spreading it out is often what makes the timing workable. Petrus will take you through the financing options so you can settle on something that fits what your household can manage.


The roof you end up with should be backed by the people who put it on. Alongside the applicable manufacturer warranties on materials, every roof Petrus installs or repairs in Montgomery carries our Rock-Solid, 5-Year Workmanship Warranty. We stand behind the finished roof.
Beryl reminded Montgomery County what a bad storm can do. Gusts in the 80s mph put trees onto houses across the area in July 2024, and the lake itself closed for a time. Storms of that size make a roof's weak points obvious, though usually only to someone who goes up and looks for them.
That is what we do after any storm, and on any roof old enough to have earned a second look. We work through the whole system: shingles, flashing, underlayment, decking, ventilation, gutters, and how the tree cover overhead is affecting all of it. Then you get the findings in plain language and a recommendation you can act on, whether that means a repair, a replacement, or leaving a sound roof alone for another few years.
The questions we hear most in Montgomery tend to come from two directions: owners of older homes near the square, and homeowners closer to the water wondering what the lake is doing to their roof. Here are straight answers to both.
Yes. Every Petrus inspection is a free 7-point inspection covering your roof, attic, and more, documented with over 50 photos and videos. We explain what we find in plain language and give you an honest recommendation: repair, replacement, or no action needed.
Petrus installs asphalt shingle, metal, and tile roofing systems on Montgomery homes. We're residential first, and we also handle commercial roofing for businesses around historic downtown.
It can. Lake humidity and higher wind exposure add extra wear over time, especially on older roofs. A regular inspection catches moisture and wind damage early, before it turns into a bigger repair.
In addition to applicable manufacturer warranties, Petrus offers a Rock-Solid, 5-Year Workmanship Warranty on our roofing work. We stand behind the finished roof.
Yes. A new roof is a serious investment, and we will walk you through the available financing options so you can pick a plan that fits your budget.
From the historic downtown square to the Lake Conroe communities of Walden, Water Crest, and Del Lago, Petrus works on roofs across Montgomery and the surrounding area. We know the range of homes here, from properties that predate most of the county to lakefront builds still under warranty, and we know that range is exactly why a roof cannot be assessed from the driveway.
