Storm Damage Roofing
Anahuac sits on open water with little to slow a Gulf storm down. After one comes through, we inspect the roof for missing and lifted shingles, bent flashing and water getting in at the edges, and show you what we found.
Anahuac is a long way from our north Houston office, about an hour and a quarter east, and we make the trip for roofing in Anahuac because coastal storms do not care how far away the nearest roofer is. The town is the seat of Chambers County, on the shore of Trinity Bay where the Trinity River comes in.
It is a small place with a big history. A Mexican garrison stood here in the early 1830s, and the clashes with settlers in 1832, known as the Anahuac Disturbances, were among the events that led to the Texas Revolution. Today the town calls itself the alligator capital of Texas and holds Gatorfest every year.
Since the drive is long, we look at the whole roof while we are there. The inspection and the estimate are free. Call (832) 995-0575 to set it up, and hablamos español.
Storm and Roofing Services in Anahuac
Insurance Claim Roofing
After a coastal storm, many Anahuac homeowners are dealing with an insurance claim. You decide whether to file and the claim stays between you and your insurer, but we can meet your adjuster at the house and, if the claim is approved, do the work to the approved scope.
Roof Inspections
Wind and salt air wear a bay-front roof steadily, even between storms. A free inspection tells you where things stand, so you can fix small problems before the next storm season turns them into big ones.
Roof Replacement
When a roof has taken too many storms, we tear it off to the decking, replace the wood that is damaged and install a new roof. Before the crew heads back to Houston, they clean up the yard and the drive.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
On the Shore of Trinity Bay
Few towns in our service area sit as close to open water as Anahuac. The bay brings steady wind, salt in the air and humidity that rarely lets up, and all three work on shingles, flashing and fasteners year after year.
Being near the mouth of the Trinity River also means a wet, low landscape around town, with marshes and rice fields stretching out from it. On a house surrounded by that kind of ground, keeping water off the roof and away from the walls matters more than usual.
Hurricane Country
Chambers County took the full force of Hurricane Ike in 2008, and storms have come ashore along this part of the coast many times since. A coastal storm can loosen a whole slope of shingles in one night, or leave damage so small nobody sees it until a ceiling stains months later.
If your roof has been through a named storm, a free inspection is worth the call. For how a claim works from start to finish, see our insurance claim roofing page.
Getting Out to Anahuac
We come out from north Houston on I-10, then down State Highway 61 or the farm roads into town. It is a real trip for us, so we try to get everything done in as few visits as possible.
If you are closer to Baytown than to Anahuac, see our Baytown page.
