Roofing Company In Pasadena, TX, That Specializes In Older Homes
Pasadena is known to rebuild itself. After the 1900 storm wiped out local farms, Clara Barton’s Red Cross shipped in 1.5 million strawberry plants, and the town became the Strawberry Capital. Then refineries lined the Ship Channel, and Pasadena grew from under 2 to nearly 60 square miles.
Much of the town’s growth came after World War II. Golden Acres, Deepwater, and Tanglebriar all have homes built in the 1950s. Many of these homes have been reroofed multiple times. Older plank decking, stacked shingle layers, and worn flashing are very common finds here.
At MPS, we are local Pasadena roofers specializing in older roofs. We take a detailed look at the roof deck and other components before we quote you anything. Whether you need to seal a leak around a vent pipe or a full roofing tear-off, we give you a clear written scope and a fair price before work starts.

Why We Are Your Go-to Roofers In Pasadena
Re-roofing inside Pasadena city limits requires a building permit, and only registered contractors can pull a permit for you. Also, the small part of the city east of State Highway 146 falls inside the state’s windstorm certification area. As registered local contractors, we confirm which local rules apply to your home before scheduling any roofing work.
We are also a mulit-lingual team speaking English, Spanish, Arabic, and French, and we can explain your roofing options clearly in the language you’re most comfortable with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers on permits, windstorm rules, and older roofs for Pasadena homeowners.
Is my Pasadena home in the windstorm certification area?
It might be if your home is east of State Highway 146. The Texas Department of Insurance only includes the part of Pasadena city limits east of State Highway 146 in its designated catastrophe area. Roof work there must meet windstorm standards to stay eligible for Texas Windstorm Insurance Association coverage. However, most Pasadena neighborhoods west of 146 aren’t included in this.
Is a city permit required for a Pasadena re-roof?
Yes. A full re-roof inside city limits needs a building permit, and Pasadena requires building contractors to register with the city and carry liability insurance. Before hiring a roofing contractor, do ask whether they’re registered and who will pull the permit.
What should I expect when reroofing a 1950s home?
Homes from the 1950s often have hidden issues under the shingles, like board planks instead of plywood decking or an extra layer of old shingles. Building code limits how many layers of shingles a roof can carry, so a full tear-off is mostly needed. Any rotted boards found along the way also need to get replaced before new shingles go on.
Do you handle roofs on rental properties?
Yes. We work with landlords, investors, and property managers across Pasadena. We provide clear scope of work and price stay in writing, so you can approve repairs without having to be on site.
When is the best time to plan roof work in Pasadena?
Late winter and spring are ideal for roof work, before hurricane season starts on June 1. That leaves time to fix weak spots ahead of Gulf storms.
However, if a storm has already damaged your roof, don’t wait for a better season, since trapped water leads to rot and mold quickly in this humidity.
