At the end of last year, we planned and budgeted to replace our 20 year old roof in Q1 2026--one of…read morethe biggest expenses in home ownership. Choosing the right roofing contractor was a top priority, so we established clear criteria to ensure we selected a trustworthy, established, and high-quality company.
Our Selection Criteria:
* Local business in the Tomball or Cypress area.
* Real, physical facility (not operating out of a truck, apartment, or home). Out of 25 contractors, only 3 met this requirement.
* Consistent 5-star reviews across multiple platforms and a strong BBB rating.
* Long, stable business history to ensure the warranty actually means something.
* Competitive pricing among top tier contractors (not the cheapest).
* Knowledgeable representative, not just a salesperson--someone who understands special requirements and can make verifiable recommendations.
After weeks of research, help from AI, and three in person visits, Kirtley & Sons Roofing was the only contractor that met every requirement. With 64 years in business, three generations of family ownership, and a spotless reputation--including no BBB complaints--they stood out as the most established and trusted local option.
Our Experience:
From the initial consultation with Justin Kirtley (co-owner) to the final cleanup, Kirtley & Sons exceeded our expectations.
Justin provided a thorough review of materials, timelines, and installation options. We had a special request to remove two turbine vents and two Air Hawk vents, repair the decking, and install two Attic Breeze 35-watt solar attic fans. Justin recommended Attic Breeze because they are Texas based and known for producing some of the most durable, high performance solar fans on the market--manufactured in Gatesville, Texas, unlike many overseas alternatives.
Installation Day:
The crew arrived early (7:00 a.m., still dark), worked efficiently, and demonstrated excellent craftsmanship throughout the entire process. They removed the old roof, installed the new one, and completed the job in a single day, exactly as promised. Cleanup was thorough, and the final walkthrough ensured everything met expectations.
Final Thoughts:
If you're looking for a roofing company that delivers expertise, integrity, and exceptional execution, Kirtley & Sons Roofing should be at the top of your list. Their long history, strong reputation, and outstanding service made this major home project stress free and successful.
