ABC Supply roofing and siding.

Homeowners searching for an ABC Supply roofing contractor in Houston are usually looking for the company that will buy the shingles and put them on the house. ABC Supply Co. is a wholesale supplier of roofing and exterior products. Branches around Houston sell to contractors. The materials include architectural asphalt shingles, underlayment, starter, hip and ridge, flashing and vent metal, gutters, downspouts, and siding. Elite Restorations buys those materials from ABC Supply and installs them. We are the contractor on the house. You do not have to open an account at the branch.

Orders go to Houston-area branches, including the roofing yards and a gutter-and-siding branch at 14904 North Freeway. Published hours there have been weekday mornings into the afternoon. Hours change, and a branch can be out of a color, so we confirm what is actually on the shelf before a tear-off or a siding day is scheduled. On this page, we buy those roofing and siding materials from ABC Supply and install them on your house. ABC Supply is a trademark of its owner. Elite Restorations is an independent contractor and is not affiliated with ABC Supply.

A replacement starts on the roof you have. We photograph the slopes and say whether a repair will hold or the shingles need to come off. Tear-off is how the wood shows up. Soft decking is common where a valley, a pipe boot, or a wall flashing has been leaking, especially on brick houses in Memorial and Bellaire. That wood is extra work. We stop and show you before the job grows past the roof that was priced. We do not cover a worn roof and call it new.

Once the deck is sound, the materials we bought from ABC Supply go on in order: underlayment, starter at the eaves, the field shingles, hip and ridge, and metal at valleys, walls, and pipes. Attic vents are planned with the shingles, because a Houston attic runs hot. A walkable one-story is often a few days on site once the material is in the yard. Steep, cut-up, or two-story roofs, and any roof that needs new decking, take longer. Rain pauses a tear-off. We tell you the order and the days after the inspection.

Spring squalls mark roofs from Katy and Sugar Land through Memorial, Bellaire, River Oaks, and The Woodlands. The house can still look ordinary from the curb. Hail bruises shingles and knocks granules into the gutters. It also dents soft metal on vents, gutters, and flue caps. Wind lifts edges and pulls flashing at a side wall. The front slope can be calm while the west slope took the hail. We look at every slope before we say the roof needs to come off.

A repair is right when the rest of the roof can still shed water and a matching shingle can be bought from ABC Supply. Replacement is right when the bruises run across the slopes, the shingles are brittle, or the color is no longer made. South and west slopes fade faster than north slopes, so a new bundle beside older shingles often will not blend. We say that before a patch is ordered. If water is coming in, we tarp when the roof is safe to stand on. A tarp is temporary. Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30, and hail is not only a hurricane problem.

Siding from ABC Supply is the wall the street sees: lap, board-and-batten, and fiber cement, plus the trim at corners, windows, and the roof edge. We buy the boards and the trim and we install them. A full wall is the old material off, a look at the sheathing, a wrap where the wall needs it, then the new courses, with cut ends sealed the way that product requires. A section can be replaced when the profile still exists. A cracked board is replaced. It is not filled and painted over as if the crack were gone.

South and west walls in Houston fade. A new board beside a ten-year-old wall often will not match the color as it looks today. We say when a patch will show and when the plane needs more than that one course. Fiber-cement siding is one of the products we install. The purchase is the same either way: we buy the siding from ABC Supply and put it on the house. The same storm that marked the wall may have marked the roof. That is a separate look, and we do not treat a siding patch as a finished roof.

Gutters and downspouts are part of the same exterior order when the eave is in the job. We buy the gutter material from ABC Supply and hang it. A Houston gutter either carries a hard rain to a downspout away from the slab or it dumps that rain on the brick. We look at slope, hangers, corners, and the board behind the gutter. A new gutter on rotten fascia will sag. If the board is soft, that wood is part of the work, and we say so before the hangers go in.

If the roof is about to come off, the new gutters wait. A tear-off bends fresh metal. Hail that dented the shingles often dented the gutters too, and those are two lines on an estimate, one storm. Downspouts are aimed off the foundation, with an extension or a splash block, because flat lots in Alief, Westchase, and much of Katy hold water against the slab. Leaves in a quiet gutter are not a new gutter. A stretch the wind pulled off the board is the replacement we price.

If you are filing, we photograph the roof, the siding, or the gutters before a tarp hides an opening, when that is safe. We can meet your adjuster on the house and walk through what we saw. The estimate we write is the price of the construction: the tear-off or the repair, the materials we buy from ABC Supply, the flashing, the vents, the siding or the gutters, and any decking or fascia we can already see. It is not the amount the claim will pay. You file the claim. Your insurer decides coverage and payment. We are not public adjusters, and we do not give legal advice.

A Texas wind or hail deductible is often a percentage on your declarations page. We do not have that number and we will not invent it. The office is at 511 Crestwater Ct, Houston, TX 77082. Scheduled visits are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Call (713) 909-0034 for a free estimate. We install these roofs, walls, and gutters across Houston, including Katy, Sugar Land, Bellaire, The Woodlands, River Oaks, Memorial, and West University. Family-owned since 1993.
