Last redirect in htaccess is too many?

Trying to determine why only the last redirect returns a "Too Many Redirects" error when visiting the page. If I add anymore after the last one they all get the same error when visiting the pages.

Your last Redirect is causing a Redirect Loop error /Too many Redirect error. Let's see why this is happening : 

RedirectMatch 301 ^/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool http://www.houstonroofingonline.com/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool.html

Actually , The pattern and the destination path of your RedirectMatch are identical.

Pattern : ^/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool*

Destination url : http://www.houstonroofingonline.com/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool.html

When you request example.com/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool your RedirectMatch redirects the url to http://www.houstonroofingonline.com/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool.html in the first round. And in the second round http://www.houstonroofingonline.com/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool.html matches the pattern and Redirects to itself.

To avoid this multiple redirect behavior you need to fix the pattern so it doesn't match the destination path. Simply add a regex end of string character $ at the end so that it can only match a specific uri /your-roof-as-a-selling-tool not ...tool.html .

RedirectMatch 301 ^/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool$ http://www.houstonroofingonline.com/your-roof-as-a-selling-tool.html
