About Us
Roofers in Houston come and go. After 33 years on the Texas Gulf Coast, we still think of ourselves as ‘up and coming’. There’s a reason for that. <br> <br> Hi, I’m Ernie Smith. Thanks for checking us out! <br> <br> Houston is a big city with big storms. And roofers from across the U.S. come to Houston and the surrounding areas to set up shop. <br> <br> No license is required to be a roofer in Texas. Anybody can work on your house. So it’s no surprise that most newer roofers here only last a few years. <br> <br> But we’ve been around for 30 years this year. Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing is a genuine ‘mom and pop’ second-generation family business, Texas born and raised. And we’re still growing. <br> <br> We know what Texas weather can do. And because of our unique history and background, storm-proof roof installation is what we do. <br> <br> You see, though we work all over Houston, South Texas, and beyond, we cut our roofing teeth here on the Texas Gulf Coast – one of the most highly regulated areas for building and construction in the country. <br> <br> After more than two decades meeting and exceeding high-wind specifications and guidelines for the Texas Department of Insurance, storm-resistant roof replacement is second nature to us - and our specialty. We’ve never let a warranty lapse, and our TDI inspection compliance and success rate is immaculate. <br> <br> Things like six nails per shingle and reinforced roof perimeters are standard fare, for every roof, and there’s no extra charge - wherever you live. <br> <br> My wife and I had seven boys, and no girls. Growing up, they all learned to roof, and they all helped with the business. <br> <br> Now those sons have sons. (And a heaping helping of girls to boot.) <br> <br> After so many years and a lot of hard work, we’ve built a solid reputation. Friends telling friends, family telling family. (So if you don’t know us, the neighbors all do.) <br> <br> We have literally thousands of satisfied customers. From politicians to plant workers, detectives and dentists, astronauts and cowboys, engineers and homemakers – for starters. <br> <br> Chances are, there’s a roof we’ve done that’s just around the corner – or just across the street! <br> <br> Of course, we know how it is - if you enjoy spending money, it’s probably not on roofing. <br> <br> But it’s a whole lot easier with someone you know. Or at least all the neighbors know. Like Ernie Smith & Sons. Where, because we’re all family, after almost 25 years we’re probably just starting. <br> <br> Recent accolades: <br> We received the 2016 and 2017 Angie's List Super Service Award for providing our customers with excellent customer service. <br> Also for the past 5 years, we were happy to receive Better Business Bureau Awards. The previous two winning the prestigious Pinnacle Award which is given to only one roofer in the entire South Texas region. <br> <br> Contact us today for a free inspection, friendly estimate, or to find out more about our StormShield High Performance Roofing Systems.

Customer Reviews

"I called Ernie Smith & Sons to redo a poor siding installation I had previously had done in Galveston. Additionally, I said I wanted to make sure the new siding was WIP-8 compliant. I was adamant that job be done right and not have another incompetent contractor touching my house. They were straight forward and said that in order to do the job right, they would need to pull permits with the city of Galveston. The job grew in scop as the old siding came down and exposed rotted wood and termite damage of the foundation and framing. They again, brought out an engineer to assess the right way to repair my house and immedicably started replacing major wood components of my house structure. They quickly followed up with installing the new siding and exterior painting. The project again grew in scope as the front deck and stairs also needed to be torn down and rebuild per city code requirements. Ernie Smith & Sons again executed on an excellent job for me. The house and front deck are now more structurally sound than ever before and my Galveston bungalow looks amazing! My only complaint is the cleanup was not as good as it could have been with a lot construction waste left onsite."
"I had to call again to get the estimate sent to me. They obviously don't want to work. My review stands. The owners wife called me the next day to ask me to change it. I refused. You DID NOT do what you had to do to earn my business."
"Their employees will not stop harassing me at my home. They go around our neighborhood knocking on doors at dinner time. They ignore our "no soliciting" sign. They don't listen when I tell them no thank you. They then left their sign on my door anyways. I am in the market for a new roof but I will not be contacting this business based on this alone."
