Free Roof Inspections
An inspection is worth the drive only if it is thorough. We look at every slope, the flashing, the vents and the roof edges, and we walk you through what we found before we leave.
Roofing Sealy homes is a different job from roofing a big suburban subdivision. Sealy is a small city, about 7,550 people in the 2024 Census estimate, and still the largest town in Austin County, with farm and ranch land around it on every side. Houses run from older frame homes near downtown to newer builds on acreage outside town.
The town grew up around the railroad in the late 1870s and was named for George Sealy, a Galveston businessman tied to the line. Today I-10 carries most people past it, and SH 36 runs through town on its way between Bellville to the north and Wallis to the south. Just east, the interstate crosses the Brazos River near San Felipe.
We travel to Sealy from our office in north Houston, roughly an hour and five minutes out I-10 past Katy. It is a real trip, and we make it for an inspection that costs you nothing and an estimate that is free as well.
Roof Inspections, Replacement and Siding in Sealy
Roof Replacement
On an older Sealy house, a tear-off can turn up decking that has carried more than one roof. We replace the boards that are damaged, put the new roof on and clean up the site before we head back east.
Storm Damage Roofing
Storms crossing the open country west of the Brazos can carry strong straight-line wind and hail. If one has passed over your place, we check for missing, creased and bruised shingles and show you the damage.
Siding on Older Homes
Lap siding on an older house takes decades of sun and wind-driven rain. We replace boards that have split, warped or rotted, and if the roof is being done too, both can happen on the same project.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Older Houses and Newer Acreage
Sealy is old enough that some houses near downtown have been reroofed several times, sometimes with a new layer laid over the last. Stacked layers add weight and hide whatever is wrong underneath, so on those homes we expect to tear down to the deck and look.
Out on the acreage, many homes are newer and set well back from the road, often with no other house close by. A roof on an open lot gets the full force of the wind from every direction, and the far side of it is a side nobody sees from the porch.
Weather Between the Brazos and the Coast
Sealy sits far enough inland that hurricanes reach it weakened, but not so far that they never arrive. A tropical system that comes ashore on the upper Texas coast can still push heavy rain and gusty wind up the Brazos valley for a day or more.
The more regular threat is the spring and summer thunderstorm. They build quickly over the prairie, and the hail and downbursts they bring do not need a named storm to strip shingles. Long, humid summers then work on whatever the storm loosened.
Getting a Roof Done From an Hour Away
Being an hour out does not change how the job works. We inspect, show you the damage and give you a free estimate that spells out the work. If a storm is behind it, filing a claim is your choice and the claim is between you and your insurer; we can meet the adjuster at the house, and if the insurer approves the scope, we build to it.
We also work in Wallis, just south on SH 36, and back toward Houston in Katy.
Why Sealy Homeowners Call Roofshire
- We make the drive. An hour out of Houston is still inside our service area, and the inspection is free either way.
- We look under old layers. On houses that have been reroofed before, we check the deck, not just the top layer of shingles.
- Roof and siding together. If the walls need work as well, it can go into the same estimate and the same schedule.
