Questions before we arrive
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in Corpus Christi in 2026?
Most full replacements on typical homes land between $9,000 and $25,000 with architectural shingles, about $475 to $725 per square installed to windstorm code. Metal runs $21,000 to $45,000 for standing seam. Size, pitch, layers and decking set the final number, and the cost page gives the full breakdown.
How long does a roof last in Corpus Christi?
Plan on 12 to 17 years for asphalt shingles in salt air and Gulf heat, 40-plus years for metal and stone-coated steel, and 40 to 60 years for tile with underlayment renewal around year 20 to 25. Ventilation and installation quality move any material toward the top or bottom of its range.
What is a WPI-8 certificate?
The Texas Department of Insurance certificate of compliance for windstorm code. In Nueces, Aransas, San Patricio and Kleberg counties, a re-roof needs one to stay eligible for TWIA windstorm coverage. The WPI-8 guide explains the full process.
Will a new roof lower my windstorm premium?
It can. TWIA gives premium credits for impact-rated (UL 2218) coverings, with a larger credit for Class 4, and a new documented roof resets the age problem that pushes older roofs to actual cash value. Private carriers set their own discounts, so bring your documentation packet.
My carrier says I must replace my roof. What do I do?
Get a documented inspection, ask the carrier for its exact requirement and deadline in writing, then replace once, to windstorm code, with WPI-8 paperwork handled. That solves the carrier problem without creating a TWIA problem.
How fast can you respond after a storm?
Emergency tarping and leak stabilization are prioritized for Corpus Christi and surrounding cities after any named storm, and every storm job includes the photo documentation your claim needs. The storm and emergency pages give the full sequence.
