Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Rockport’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every contract we write in Rockport. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how we’ve operated for over 29 years, and it’s why homeowners from Fulton Beach Road to Key Allegro call us when an insurance adjuster starts asking hard questions about windstorm compliance. Our roofers are Tom’s sons and the crews they lead directly, not subcontractors hired off a board. When you call with a question about a TDI inspection or a fastener spec, the person who answers is someone who has actually pulled TDI permits in Aransas County.
We answer our phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, because a roof leak after midnight on a Friday in Rockport doesn’t schedule itself for Monday. Our Roofing team knows the difference between a roof that looks fine from the street and one that will fail the next time a named storm pushes surge up the canals. And every job, from a small repair to a full standing seam replacement, is covered by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if we didn’t do it right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
You can look up our license number before you sign anything. You can ask anyone on your street. That’s the point.
Our Roofing Services in Rockport
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most roof replacements in Rockport involve tearing off post-Harvey patches or mid-2000s asphalt that’s lost its wind rating from salt exposure. We pull the TDI windstorm rough-frame and sheathing inspections before closing anything up, install high-wind synthetic underlayment that’s mechanically attached, and document every inspection stamp. A replacement quote from us includes what a cheap quote leaves out: the permit, the TDI stamps, and fasteners that won’t rust in two years.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
Standing seam is the strongest answer to Rockport’s wind-driven rain and storm surge. We install 26-gauge panel systems with stainless steel clips and hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, rated for the uplift loads TDI requires for TWIA eligibility along Aransas Bay. A properly installed standing seam roof here should outlast two or three re-roofs of standard asphalt, and it’s the roof type insurance adjusters like to see after a named storm.
Emergency & Storm Damage
When a squall line comes off the bay and tears shingles loose, we respond fast. We tarp and make temporary weather-tight repairs same-day where possible, document everything for your TWIA claim, and then get the permanent fix scheduled. If your roof is actively leaking in Rockport, get a tarp on it before the next band of rain hits. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s how you avoid a mold claim on top of a roof claim.
Roof Repair
Repair work in Rockport often means two things: replacing rusted fasteners and flashing, and finding the leak before it rots your decking. We repair and reseal pipe boots, step flashing, ridge caps, and valley metal. If your repair involves sheathing replacement, we’re going to talk about the TDI inspection requirement before we cut anything. A repair that voids your TWIA eligibility isn’t a repair.

Trusted Brands We Service in Rockport
We’re a GAF-certified installer and we stock GAF Timberline HDZ and Grand Sequoia shingles for Rockport jobs, alongside standing seam metal systems from manufacturers that meet TDI wind load requirements for the coastal zone. We don’t put mystery-brand materials off a van on your roof. You’ll see the brand name on the quote, the packaging, and the warranty registration. If you want CertainTeed instead of GAF, we’ll price it both ways so you can compare what you’re actually paying for.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Rockport Homes
- Rusted fasteners on asphalt shingles. Salt-laden air off Aransas Bay corrodes uncoated steel nails in as little as two years. The next named storm blows those shingles clean off. We replace with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, no exceptions.
- Underlayment that was never meant for high-wind coastal conditions. Standard felt or cheap synthetic fails TDI uplift testing at the sheathing stage. If a previous contractor used it, your roof may not be TWIA-insurable, and you won’t know until a claim gets denied.
- Standing seam panels peeling at the ridge or eave. Storm surge and wind-driven rain from a direct south or southeast approach puts enormous uplift on the first panel edges. Clips and seam profiles matter. We see Harvey-era roofs failing here first.
- Missing TDI inspection stamps from earlier repair work. A roofer who closed up decking before the TDI inspector signed off may have quietly voided your windstorm coverage. We can sometimes correct this by exposing and re-inspecting the affected area. Sometimes, it means opening walls. Better you know now than at claim time.

FAQs - Roofing in Rockport
A compliant Rockport roof replacement must include TDI windstorm inspections at rough frame and sheathing, both signed off before the roof is closed up, plus any required re-inspection after decking replacement. The TDI inspector has to see the fasteners, the connections, and the underlayment before anything covers them. If a contractor closes the wall or roof before that stamp, your TWIA policy is void on that structure and the work may have to be torn open. We schedule those inspections ourselves and walk you through each pass. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your project’s inspection timeline.
Ask the contractor for the TDI inspection stamp records for the date of the repair, along with photos of the exposed sheathing and fastener pattern. A cosmetic patch will have no TDI stamp because no inspector ever saw the open deck. A wind-code repair will have a paper trail: permit, TDI inspection request, signed-off stamp, and photos. We photograph every TDI-mandated stage of our Rockport roof jobs and keep those records with your contract. If you bought a home with a Harvey-era roof and no inspection records, it’s worth having us evaluate it before the next storm season. Estimates are free.
Standard galvanized nails do not hold up on a Rockport coastal roof. The salt-laden air off Aransas Bay eats through standard galvanized coating in two years, and the fasteners fail long before the panels do. TDI windstorm compliance for exposed coastal conditions calls for stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners with the proper coating weight. We use stainless clips and hot-dipped galvanized fasteners on every standing seam and exposed fastener roof we install in Rockport. If a previous contractor used electro-galvanized nails, you’ll likely see rust staining at the seams within a few years.
A compliant Rockport roof replacement includes: the TDI-required permit and inspection fees, photographs and documentation of rough-frame and sheathing sign-offs, mechanically attached high-wind synthetic underlayment rated for your wind zone, stainless or hot-dipped hardware at every connection, and brand-name materials like GAF shingles or 26-gauge standing seam panels. A cheap quote typically omits the TDI inspection entirely, uses uncoated or electro-galvanized fasteners, and installs underlayment that won’t pass uplift testing. Cheapest never means compliant here. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and he’s the one who keeps your insurance valid.
Because a TWIA adjuster cannot legally approve a structural roof claim in Aransas County without verification that the original construction or repair passed TDI windstorm inspection at the required phases. Without the stamp, the structure was never insurable in the first place, and the claim process stalls. We’ve helped Rockport homeowners reconstruct their inspection history from photos and re-open parts of a roof to get the proper stamps in place. If you’re stuck in that loop, call (877) 610-1318 and describe the situation. We’ll tell you what’s recoverable and what isn’t, honestly, before anyone picks up a hammer.
