Few towns this size hold as much variety on the roof as Tomball does. Around the 1907 depot and Old Town, homes date back generations, with the steep pitches, dormers, and add-on rooflines that come from a house being extended over a long life. Head out toward Lakewood Forest and you find 1980s custom builds on big wooded lots. Keep going toward Creekside and the houses are barely broken in.
Those three kinds of roof fail in three different ways, and a contractor who treats them the same will miss things. On a complicated older roofline, the leak is almost always in the details: a valley carrying more water than it was built for, flashing at a chimney or a dormer that has moved, a tie-in where an addition met the original roof. Petrus starts by getting up there and reading what the roof actually is before recommending anything.
Petrus is residential first, and we work across the whole range of Tomball housing, from the older streets near Main Street out to the newer sections along FM 2920. The work is the same in principle and different in practice on every roof, which is why nothing gets quoted before it gets inspected. Our full range is on the roofing services page.
Our free 7-point inspection covers the roof, the attic, and the spots where water tends to get in unnoticed, documented with more than 50 photos and videos. On a multi-pitch roof that means every valley, every penetration, and every tie-in, then a plain-language explanation of what we found.

When your roof has reached the end of its useful life, whether it's an original roof in an established Lake Conroe neighborhood or storm damage that's too far gone to repair, Petrus can help you replace it with a system selected for your home, budget, and long-term protection.

Leaks, missing shingles, flashing problems, and hail or wind damage should be addressed before they spread. Our team helps repair roofing issues with careful workmanship and clear communication.

The pine cover Tomball was originally cut out of is still very much here, and it fills valleys and gutters year round. Maintenance clears the debris before it dams water, keeps sealant and flashing sound, and puts eyes on the roof between storms.

When hail or wind damage leaves your roof exposed, fast tarping helps stop further water intrusion while we work out the right long-term fix.

Petrus also looks after commercial roofs for businesses along the FM 2920 and Kuykendahl retail corridors. Inspections, repairs, replacement, and maintenance all get scheduled around how the business actually operates.

Tomball roofs deal with heat, humidity, hail in spring, and whatever the pines drop on them. The right system depends on the age and shape of the house as much as on the weather, and a complicated roofline narrows the sensible options more than a simple one does.
Asphalt shingles cover most of Spring, and they suit the range of homes here from Klein-area starter streets to the larger estate sections. Modern architectural shingles carry solid wind ratings and come in enough colors to work on a 1980s brick ranch or a 2005 stucco build. Underlayment and ventilation matter as much as the shingle itself, particularly on shaded roofs that dry slowly.

Metal earns its keep under heavy tree cover. It sheds needles and debris rather than holding them, stands up to wind, and lasts considerably longer than shingle. It rewards simpler roof geometry, so on a heavily broken roofline we will talk through where the panels will and will not work well.

Tile suits some of the larger custom homes around Tomball, giving a distinctive roofline and a very long service life. The weight is the deciding factor, so before tile becomes a real option we look at whether the structure underneath can carry it.


A roof is rarely a planned expense, and spreading the cost is often what makes the right repair or replacement possible now rather than later. Petrus will take you through the financing options available so you can choose something that works for your household.


A warranty is only worth what the company behind it is worth. Alongside the applicable manufacturer warranties on materials, every roof Petrus installs or repairs in Tomball carries our Rock-Solid, 5-Year Workmanship Warranty. We stand behind the finished roof.
An older roof that has been added to over the years holds its history in the details, and that history is usually where the water gets in. A valley reworked once already, a chimney flashed by someone in a hurry, a section of decking replaced without addressing what rotted it. None of that shows from the driveway.
We work through the whole system rather than the symptom: shingles, flashing, underlayment, decking, ventilation, gutters, and how the tree cover overhead is affecting all of it. You get the findings in plain language, with photographs, and a recommendation you can act on, whether that means a repair, a replacement, or leaving a sound roof alone for a few more years. We would rather tell you the roof is fine and be the people you call when it is not.
Tomball homeowners tend to ask about two things: what an older, more complicated roof needs, and what the trees are doing to it. Here are straight answers.
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.
It makes them more detailed rather than harder. Valleys, dormers, and additions create more places for water to concentrate, so the inspection takes longer and the flashing work matters more. Done properly, a complicated roof lasts just as well as a simple one.
Not usually, though we will tell you if a limb is scraping shingles or holding moisture against the roof. Most tree-related wear comes from debris sitting in valleys and gutters, which maintenance handles without any tree work at all.
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.
Tomball is about as close to home as our work gets. Our office is on FM 1488 in Magnolia, a straight run west along FM 2920, which makes Tomball one of the shortest trips we make and an easy one to come back to if something needs a second look.
We work on roofs across the whole town, from the historic streets around the depot and Main Street to Lakewood Forest and the newer sections spreading out toward Creekside. Knowing the housing here means we usually have a fair idea what we are walking into, and it is also why we still put a ladder up before saying anything definite. Give us a call and we will come have a proper look.
