AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Rockport
Roofing in Rockport, TX isn’t a generic job. It’s work that has to stand up to 140+ mph wind-load requirements, salt-laden air off Aransas Bay, and a TDI windstorm inspection process that decides whether your home can even be insured. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and our Roofing team has been rebuilding and repairing roofs across Aransas County long enough to know what the inspector looks for before he pulls into your driveway in 78381 or 78382. If you need a roof that passes inspection the first time and stays insurable under TWIA, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
Most of our Rockport work comes from neighbors telling neighbors. When a roof on North Fulton Beach Road or in the Key Allegro neighborhood gets done right, word travels. We’ve built our reputation in this zip code one TDI inspection sign-off at a time.
Our Roofing Services in Rockport
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Rockport means meeting windstorm codes that inland towns never think about. We install GAF shingle systems with upgraded nailing patterns and synthetic underlayment, but more importantly, we schedule the TDI windstorm inspection at rough-frame and sheathing before anything gets closed up. Your mortgage and your insurance depend on that stamp. A replacement in Rockport typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on deck condition and elevation.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
For homes on the water or elevated on pilings, standing seam metal is the roof that makes sense in Rockport. It carries the wind rating TDI expects, it shrugs off wind-driven rain, and it handles the salt air better than exposed fasteners ever will. We install standing seam systems with hot-dipped galvanized clips and stainless fasteners throughout, not just on the exposure. Expect $15,000 to $40,000 for a standing seam roof on a typical Rockport home.
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Rockport usually means one of three things: a wind-lifted shingle section, a leak around a pipe boot or valley, or corrosion damage on flashing from years of salt exposure. Small leaks turn into deck rot fast in this climate. Most repairs run $400 to $1,800, and we’ll give you a written scope before we start so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Emergency & Storm Damage
When a squall line off Aransas Bay tears up a section of roof at 2 a.m., you need someone who knows Rockport’s building department and TDI process, not someone who has to learn it on your job. Call us day or night. A live person answers. We’ll get out to your property in Rockport, tarp what needs tarping, and document the damage the way your windstorm insurance adjuster expects.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Rockport Homes
- Corroded fasteners from salt air. Southeast winds off Aransas Bay push salt spray over everything. Standard galvanized nails and clips rust out years early. We use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware even where you can’t see it.
- Wind-lifted shingles on older pre-Harvey roofs. A lot of the mid-century bungalows and fishing cottages that survived the storm still have roofs installed to older inland standards. They don’t hold at 140 mph. If your shingles are lifting at the edges after a spring storm, the deck and fastening schedule likely need attention.
- Improper Harvey-era patches. 2017 brought a wave of fast patches by crews that are long gone. We see nail-overs without underlayment, missing drip edge, and deck seams that were never sealed. Some of those patches are now failing well before their time.
- Closed-up sheathing with no TDI sign-off. This is the expensive one. If a contractor closed the roof deck before the TDI windstorm inspector signed off, the home can’t qualify for TWIA coverage. We’ve had to reopen decking to get the inspection done. It’s not a fun conversation, but it’s the only way to keep the mortgage viable.

The TDI Windstorm Inspection Nobody Told You About
Rockport took a direct Category 4 hit in August 2017, and the rebuild that followed changed how every roof in this town gets permitted. If you’re putting a new roof on a home in Aransas County, the TDI windstorm inspection isn’t optional. It has to be called at rough-frame and again at sheathing. The inspector signs off, and that documentation is what keeps your TWIA eligibility alive. No sign-off, no TWIA. No TWIA, no mortgage. Lenders and title companies in Rockport will kill a closing over a missed inspection stamp. That’s not us being dramatic. That’s the way it works here.
We just replaced a roof in Key Allegro where the previous contractor closed up the sheathing before the TDI inspector arrived. The entire deck had to be reopened before we could proceed. Our crew now schedules the TDI inspection sign-off at every stage and documents it in the scope of work, so the homeowner’s TWIA eligibility stays intact. When you’re comparing quotes in Rockport, ask the contractor exactly which TDI inspection stages they’ve built into the schedule and where that shows up in writing. If they mumble, keep looking.

FAQs - Roofing in Rockport
A Rockport roof has to meet the wind-load requirements set by TDI for the Texas coast, which in this area means designing and installing for 140+ mph wind speeds depending on exposure. That means upgraded nailing schedules, specific underlayment requirements, and documented inspection at rough-frame and sheathing. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on a roof that passes the first time.
Yes, if the patch work or any portion of the roof was replaced after the storm, the TDI inspection trail has to be clean before a sale will close. Buyers’ lenders in Aransas County check this. If there’s no sign-off on file, you may need a compliant re-roof or a tear-open inspection before the title company lets the sale go through. We’ll assess what you’ve got and document the path forward. Estimates are free.
The structure can’t qualify for TWIA coverage until the closed-up work is reopened and inspected. That usually means pulling off shingles, underlayment, and decking in the affected areas. We’ve done this on jobs where a prior contractor rushed it. The fix isn’t cheap, and it’s entirely avoidable if you schedule inspections at the right build stages. Get a contractor who puts the inspection schedule in writing.
Yes, a properly installed standing seam metal roof meets Rockport’s TDI windstorm requirements, provided the panel profile, clip spacing, and fastener selection are specified for this exposure. We install systems with hot-dipped galvanized clips and stainless fasteners so the salt air doesn’t eat through them in a few seasons. A typical standing seam roof here runs $15,000 to $40,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-itemed quote.
Documented TDI inspection sign-offs prove the roof was installed to the required windstorm standard before the damage happened. That’s exactly what a TWIA adjuster looks for. Without that paper trail, your claim can be reduced or denied on the grounds that the roof didn’t meet code. We document every inspection stage in the scope of work and hand you the records. That paperwork is part of the roof.
