Residential Roofing in Temple TX
SP Construction LLC is a woman-owned, family-run roofing contractor based in Temple, TX. We repair, replace, and maintain residential roofs for homeowners in Temple, Belton, Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Cameron, and everywhere in between. If your roof is leaking, missing shingles after a storm, or just getting old, call us at 254-931-9313. A real person answers, and the estimate is free.
Your roof takes the worst of Central Texas: triple-digit summers, spring hail, and wind that can peel shingles off in an afternoon. Nature does enough damage. You don't need a contractor who adds to it with shortcuts, cheap materials, or a crew that's gone by the time the first leak shows up.
Why Temple Homeowners Choose SP Construction
There are plenty of roofing companies in Temple, TX. Here's what makes us different.
We're locals, and we're staying. Sherrie and Billy Potter live in Temple and raised their family here. We're not three counties away chasing the next hail storm. If something goes wrong with your roof, we're here to fix it. And be sure to wave when you see us at the grocery store.
We answer the phone. No call centers, no automated menus. When you call, you talk to someone who knows roofs and can tell you what your home actually needs.
We find the real problem. A stain on your ceiling isn't always where the leak is. Billy's background in welding, woodwork, and remodeling means we look past the obvious symptom and fix what's causing it, so you're not calling us back for the same leak next spring.
We don't cheap out. We're an Owens Corning preferred contractor, fully insured, and we've completed thousands of jobs across Central Texas. Our reviews average five stars, and you can check our Better Business Bureau profile any time.
Residential Roofing Services
Roof Replacement
A tree came through the roof. Half the shingles blew off in the last storm. The roof is 25 years old and the granules are washing into the gutters. We hear all of it, and we'll give you a straight answer on whether you need a full replacement. When you do, we handle tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup, and we walk you through material options before a single shingle comes off.
Roof Repair and Leak Repair
Stains on your ceiling or sheetrock usually mean water is already getting in. We'll track the leak to its source, whether that's a cracked pipe boot, failed flashing, or storm-damaged shingles, and repair it fast. Unlike most roofers, we also fix what the leak damaged inside: drywall, interior paint, and rotted wood. That's our general contracting side at work, so you deal with one crew instead of three.
Storm and Hail Damage Repair
Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground, and waiting can turn a covered claim into an out-of-pocket repair. We inspect the roof, document what we find, and help you understand your next steps with your insurance company. For a full walkthrough of the process, see our storm damage and insurance claim roof repair page [HOLD-01]. The Texas Department of Insurance also has a helpful checklist for what to do after hail or wind damages your home.
Roof Inspections and Maintenance
Most people only think about their roof after a big storm. But debris, high wind, animals, and plain old sun exposure wear a roof down all year. We recommend an inspection every spring and fall. If you're not sure whether you need one, start with the top signs your roof needs immediate attention.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
Patio covers, additions, and porches often have flat or low-pitched sections that leak or turn the room underneath into an oven. Silicone, TPO, modified bitumen, and spray foam roofing are the best choices here, and we install all four.
Roofing Materials for Central Texas Homes
The right material depends on your budget, your roof's pitch, and how long you plan to stay in the home. Here's how the main options compare.
Material | Typical lifespan | Best for |
3-tab asphalt shingles | 15–20 years | Tight budgets, rental properties |
Architectural shingles | 25–30 years | Most Temple homes; better wind resistance and curb appeal |
Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles | 25–30+ years | Hail-prone neighborhoods; may qualify for an insurance discount |
Metal roofing / stone-coated steel | 40–50 years | Long-term owners; rated for winds up to 140 mph |
TPO, modified bitumen, silicone | 15–25+ years | Flat and low-slope sections |
Not every "impact-resistant" shingle performs the same. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety publishes independent hail impact ratings for these products, and we're happy to go over them with you. If heat is your bigger concern, lighter colors and reflective "cool roof" products help most in hot, sunny climates like ours, according to ENERGY STAR. Torn between metal and shingles? Our metal roof vs. asphalt shingles comparison breaks it down side by side.
Our Hassle-Free Process
Get an estimate. Call 254-931-9313. We'll come out, get on the roof, take photos, and explain what we found in plain English. No pressure, no scare tactics.
Approve your contract. You get a written scope with materials, timeline, and warranty details. Nothing gets started until you're comfortable with it.
Enjoy your completed project. Most residential replacements take one to a few days, depending on size, material, and weather. We clean up, run a magnet sweep for nails, and do a final walkthrough with you.
How to Choose a Roofing Contractor in Temple, TX
After every big storm, out-of-town crews show up knocking on doors. Before you sign with anyone, us included, check these things:
Local address and track record. Ask where they're based and who will honor the warranty in five years.
Insurance. Ask for proof of liability coverage so you're not on the hook if someone gets hurt on your property.
Manufacturer standing. Membership in a manufacturer's program can unlock stronger warranties, as Owens Corning explains in its guide to choosing a roofer.
No full payment up front, and no deductible games. The Texas Department of Insurance warns against paying in full before work starts, and it's illegal in Texas for a contractor to waive your homeowners deductible.

We're based in Temple and work throughout Bell County and the surrounding area, including Belton, Killeen, Cameron, Harker Heights, and Copperas Cove. See our full service area. Need work on a business instead of a home? Visit our commercial roofing page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a roofing contractor in Temple, TX?
Look for a local address, proof of insurance, manufacturer program standing, and reviews from neighbors you can verify. Avoid anyone who wants full payment up front or offers to cover your insurance deductible, which is illegal in Texas. SP Construction is based in Temple, fully insured, and an Owens Corning preferred contractor.
How long does a roof last in Central Texas?
It depends on the material. Architectural shingles typically last 25 to 30 years, 3-tab shingles less, and metal roofing 40 to 50 years. Texas heat and hail can shorten those numbers, which is why spring and fall inspections matter.
Will homeowners insurance pay for my new roof?
If a covered event like hail, wind, or a falling tree damaged your roof, your policy may pay for repair or replacement, minus your deductible. Insurance usually won't cover wear and age. We'll inspect and document the damage so you know what you're working with before you file.
Can you put a new roof over my old one?
Sometimes, but we rarely recommend it. A second layer can hide rotted decking and other problems that cause leaks later. We'll inspect your roof and tell you honestly which option makes sense.
Do you offer a warranty on residential roofing?
Yes. We warranty both materials and workmanship, and the coverage depends on the roofing system you choose. We'll walk you through the specifics during your free estimate.
