Between Redfish Bay and the mainland, Aransas Pass roofs face salt, humidity and every storm that crosses the Coastal Bend. RISE Roofing inspects, repairs and replaces them, and our team handles the permit and the TDI windstorm paperwork from start to finish.
Aransas Pass is a working waterfront town. It takes its name from the pass between Mustang and St. Joseph's islands, it incorporated in 1910, and it grew around a harbor whose shrimp fleet, according to the Texas State Historical Association, became the largest on the Gulf coast after World War II. The city limits reach into three counties, Aransas, San Patricio and Nueces, which makes it one of the more unusual places we work.
For roofs, that location means humid bay air most of the year, salt carried in on the southeast breeze, and full exposure when a tropical system comes ashore. RISE Roofing serves Aransas Pass from our Corpus Christi office with residential and commercial crews, and we treat a house by the harbor differently from one on the north side of town.
When you call us, here is the plan:
Aransas Pass has rebuilt more than once. The Handbook of Texas records a 1916 hurricane that caused heavy damage and a second storm in September 1919 that did tremendous damage to the town and its shipping, after which a seawall went up. In 2017 Hurricane Harvey came ashore nearby, and the National Weather Service lists Aransas Pass and Ingleside as the hardest hit areas of San Patricio County, where most reports of major damage came from.
That history explains why so many local roofs are relatively young, and why so many were installed at the same time. Roofs put on in the months after Harvey are approaching the age when sealant, pipe boots and exposed fasteners start to give out. A free check now costs you nothing and can catch small problems before the next hurricane season.
Rust shows up first on the cheapest metal on the roof: plain nails, vent caps, flashing and the screws on older metal roofs. Rusted screws lose their grip and their washers dry out, which lets water in around each one. On metal roofs, replacing worn fasteners is often the first repair worth doing.
Warm, wet air off the bay finds its way into attics. Without balanced intake and exhaust vents it condenses on the underside of the deck, which can lead to rot and mold that looks like a leak from inside. We check soffit and ridge ventilation on every inspection.
Many older homes have a porch, carport or back room with a nearly flat roof tied into the main roof. Those joints are a frequent leak point, and shingles do not belong on very low pitches. We repair or replace those sections with membrane or mechanically seamed metal suited to the slope.
An inspection from RISE is more than a glance from the driveway. On a typical visit we:
You get the photos and our honest recommendation, whether that is a repair, a coating, a full replacement or simply leaving a healthy roof alone.
Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November. A little preparation in spring goes a long way for a house this close to the bay:
Our hurricane preparedness tips go into more detail.
Whatever you choose, our installation carries the same 10-year workmanship warranty, and on re-roofs in the windstorm area we strip the old roofing completely so the deck can be checked and repaired.
Not sure which way to go? Our metal vs. shingles guide for coastal Texas lays out the trade-offs.
A repair makes sense when the damage is limited and the rest of the roof is healthy. A replacement is usually the better value when you see several of these at once:
We will tell you plainly which side of the line your roof is on. If a repair buys you several good years, that is what we will recommend.
A re-roof is noisy, but it does not have to be disruptive. We set the start date with you, keep driveways and entrances clear at the end of each day, and protect gardens, pools and outdoor equipment while the tear-off is underway. For businesses we can talk through sequencing the work so a storefront or loading area stays open, and we keep you posted as each stage of the windstorm inspection is completed.
All three counties that Aransas Pass touches are on the Texas Department of Insurance list of first-tier coastal counties. In that designated catastrophe area, TDI requires roof work, re-roofs and repairs included, to follow its building specifications and pass inspection for a property to remain eligible for TWIA wind and hail insurance. Repairs under 100 square feet with no decking replaced are the exception.
The inspection ends with a WPI-8 certificate of compliance tied to the address. If you ever sell, a buyer's insurer will likely ask for it. We arrange the inspection, coordinate the visits with the crew's schedule and handle the paperwork, along with the City of Aransas Pass building permit.
State Highway 361 leaves Aransas Pass across the causeway to Harbor Island, where the TxDOT ferry crosses the Corpus Christi Channel to Port Aransas. Owners with homes or businesses on both sides of the water can use one roofing company for all of them, with the same warranty and windstorm process on each property.
Island and waterfront jobs take a bit more planning. Material deliveries, dumpster placement and crew travel all depend on access, summer traffic at the ferry landing, and how much room there is to stage panels or shingles on a narrow lot. We sort those details out during the inspection so the schedule we give you is one we can actually keep.
Aransas Pass has seafood businesses, marine supply and repair shops, warehouses, churches and storefronts, and many of them sit under flat or low-slope roofs that take a beating from sun and salt. Our commercial crews install:
If the existing roof is still sound, a roof coating may be the smarter move. We are a certified GAF roof coating partner, and a GAF coating system can be backed by a GAF Emerald Pledge coating warranty lasting 10 to 20 years, based on how thick the coating is applied.
We repair leaks, replace damaged shingles and panels, reseal penetrations and rebuild failed flashing. Repair visits are scheduled in the order requests arrive, and we tell you the date up front. After a storm we inspect and document what we find with photos and a written summary. You decide whether to file a claim and you work directly with your insurer; we supply the documentation you need.
Every proposal lists the scope and price in writing, is generally valid for about 15 days, and is locked once you sign it. For qualified homeowners, Acorn Finance, a third-party lender, offers roof financing that we can walk you through at the inspection.
Aransas Pass is well within our 50-mile service area. We also serve neighbors across the water on our Port Aransas page, up the coast in Rockport, and next door in Ingleside.
Aransas Pass spans Aransas, San Patricio and Nueces counties. All three are in the TDI designated catastrophe area, so roof replacements anywhere in the city need a TDI inspection to keep TWIA eligibility.
Yes. Low-slope sections should not be shingled. We repair or replace them with a membrane or mechanically seamed metal designed for low pitches and tie them properly into the main roof.
Yes. We install TPO, PVC, modified bitumen and commercial metal roofs, and we apply GAF roof coating systems over sound existing roofs.
Move belongings away from the drip, catch the water, and take photos inside and out once it is safe. Then call us to book an inspection. Do not climb onto a wet or storm-damaged roof yourself.
Proposals are generally valid for about 15 days. Once you sign, the price is locked.
