Our Story
Houston Roofing Team was born in 2009 from a simple belief: that every homeowner in Houston deserves a roofing company that treats their home with the same care and attention they would give their own. Founded by Marcus Johnson, a third-generation craftsman who grew up watching his grandfather lay shingles across the historic neighborhoods of Houston, our company carries forward a legacy of workmanship that spans more than half a century.
Marcus spent his early career working for large roofing corporations, where he saw firsthand how the industry often cut corners to maximize profits. Homeowners were treated as transactions rather than neighbors. Quality materials were swapped for cheaper alternatives when no one was looking. That experience lit a fire in Marcus that still burns today — a determination to build a roofing company that would never compromise on integrity, materials, or craftsmanship.
Starting with a single crew and a well-worn pickup truck, Marcus knocked on doors throughout Buckhead, Midtown, and Decatur, offering free inspections and honest assessments. Word spread quickly. In a city where summer storms can shred a poorly installed roof in minutes, homeowners appreciated a contractor who told the truth — even when it meant recommending a simple repair over a profitable full replacement.
Our Growth
Over the past seventeen years, Houston Roofing Team has grown from that one-truck operation into one of metro Houston's most respected roofing companies. We have completed more than 2,500 residential and commercial projects across Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties. Our team has expanded to include over 30 skilled craftsmen, each trained in the Houston Roofing Team way — a method that prioritizes precision, cleanliness, and respect for every property we work on.
Despite our growth, we remain a family business at heart. Marcus still personally inspects every major project. His daughter, Keisha, manages our customer relations team, ensuring every homeowner receives the personalized attention that has been our hallmark since day one. When you call Houston Roofing Team, you are not entering a phone tree — you are reaching real people who live in the same communities we serve.
