A railroad town that became a suburb
Spring grew in rings around a rail stop, and the roofs show it
Old Town, the 1970s subdivisions, the master-planned 2000s — each ring ages differently.
Spring was a stop on the Houston & Great Northern Railroad starting in 1871, and Old Town Spring still has original
buildings more than a century old along its shop-lined streets. Work outward from there and the housing stock gets
younger in rings: the ranch homes and low-pitch gables of the 1970s and 80s off FM 2920 and Aldine-Westfield, then the
brick two-stories of the 1990s, then the steep, cut-up roof lines of the master-planned communities along the Grand
Parkway (SH 99) corridor.
Water is the other story here. Spring Creek runs along the north edge of town and Cypress Creek along the south, and
both broke records during Harvey in 2017. We don't fix floods — but we do fix what blowing rain, wind-lifted
shingles and overflowing gutters do to a house, and we pay close attention to drainage on every roof we touch in
Spring.
01Old Town Spring & FM 2920 Mid-century homes and early-70s ranches with original chimney flashing, brittle pipe boots and attics that were never ventilated to today's spec.
02Northampton, off Gosling Road Started in 1968 — the oldest homes sit at the front of the subdivision and are often on their third roof; newer sections behind are on their first or second.
03Gleannloch Farms & Augusta Pines Former Arabian horse farm turned Klein ISD master-planned community, with the Morafic statue at Champion Forest and Spring-Cypress. Builder-grade shingles on steep, valley-heavy roofs.
04Along both creek corridors Tree cover, humidity and wind exposure — algae streaking, limb strikes and gutters that clog every fall.
