Roofing and Siding in Kings Forest
One of Kingwood’s original villages, built on large lots among loblolly pines that builders went out of their way to keep. The trees are the point, and the trees are the roof’s biggest variable.
Built From 1972, Around the Trees
The Kings Forest association gives the dates: Section 1 began construction in 1972, Section 2 was added in 1976, Section 3 in 1978 and Section 5 in 1989. It calls Kings Forest the first Kingwood village to feature large lots, notes the absence of curbs and sidewalks, and describes mature loblolly pines and deciduous shade trees kept in place during construction.
A house in the 1972 section has stood through more than fifty years of roofs. Whatever is on it now is not the first, and the paperwork on the earlier ones is often long gone.
What to Watch
- Which trees could reach the house. On a large lot there are more of them, and taller. A tree that could fall across the roof is worth an arborist’s opinion before storm season, not after.
- Limbs over the roof. Branches that touch or sweep the shingles wear them down in every wind.
- Needle load. More canopy, more needles in the valleys and gutters, more water held against the roof.
- The roof nobody has records for. On an older house, an inspection is the cheapest way to learn what is actually up there.
Two Approvals
Kings Forest has its own association and deed restrictions, and it is inside the City of Houston. Here is how the City permit and the village review fit together.
