Roofing in Rockport, TX — On the Ground Since Harvey Came Ashore
ARP Roofing & Remodeling serves Rockport, Fulton, and Aransas County — where Hurricane Harvey came ashore in 2017.

Aransas County is a TWIA windstorm district, so we coordinate WPI-8 certification for you. Book your free Rockport inspection.

Roof Storm Damage in Texas →What is on the record
Windstorm code, on the record
Which county keeps your Rockport record — and the windstorm code your roof answers to
Your Rockport address answers to Aransas County, and the Aransas Appraisal District values it.
On this coast the rule that governs your roof is the TDI windstorm inspection behind your WPI-8 certificate, not a routine city sign-off. ARP pulls whatever building and floodplain permit your address requires, builds to the TDI windstorm attachment schedule, and runs the WPI-8 paperwork for you — start to finish.
The Roofer That Showed Up When Rockport Needed One
Every Rockport job runs through our Corpus Christi roofing company, and the story of why starts with one storm. On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey came ashore as a Category 4 right at Rockport and Fulton — the first major hurricane to make U.S. landfall in over a decade, and it put its eye wall directly over Aransas County. The destruction was awful. Roofs were gone, homes were open to the sky, and whole neighborhoods needed rebuilding, not patching.
ARP Roofing & Remodeling was one of the first companies on the ground that first week. And because we are a roofing and remodeling company, we didn't stop where the shingles ended — our remodeling crews restored and renovated complete homes, interior and exterior, putting families back under a roof and back into a finished house. The storm is what brought us to the Coastal Bend. The people are why we stayed.
Years on, we still run Aransas County work — replacements, repairs, and storm documentation across Rockport, Fulton, Aransas Pass, and up the bay. Not a phone number that drives in after a storm and disappears, but a roofer with 5,000+ completed projects behind it that you can still reach in year ten.
Why a Rockport Roof Is Its Own Problem
A roof on Aransas Bay answers to three things an inland roof never gets tested on:
Getting it right here is a local problem, not a national one.
It is also a paperwork problem. Aransas County is a TWIA designated catastrophe county. That means a new or replacement roof here generally needs a WPI-8 Certificate of Compliance on file before the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association will write or keep windstorm coverage on it. No WPI-8, no windstorm insurance on that roof — and on this coast, that is not a certificate you want to be missing when a named storm is in the Gulf.
ARP does not issue the WPI-8 — no roofing contractor does; the Texas Department of Insurance issues it through a qualified Texas windstorm engineer. What we control is the part that earns it: building to the TDI windstorm attachment schedule and coordinating the inspection milestones and documentation for you. For the full explainer, see our Texas Gulf Coast windstorm roof certification guide.
Roofing — and Remodeling — We Run in Rockport
Rockport is where the "& Remodeling" in our name earns its keep. The same team handles both sides of a coastal property, with one project manager on your job from the first walkthrough to warranty registration.
For Rockport homeowners:
What a Rockport Roof Costs
A standard architectural asphalt shingle replacement on an average Rockport home runs about $15,000 to $23,000, assuming a full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, permit, and cleanup. Coastal windstorm detailing and impact-rated or standing-seam metal systems run higher, and storm-related damage is often largely covered by insurance.
Two coastal-specific requirements are built into a compliant Rockport reroof. The first is WPI-8 inspection and engineering coordination, which we fold straight into your written scope so nothing lands as a surprise. The second: as of April 2026, a FORTIFIED Roof is required for WPI-8 certification in the TWIA windstorm district Aransas County sits in — the IBHS-verified, beyond-code standard (sealed deck, enhanced fastening, impact-rated materials) the certificate now depends on, so on this coast it's part of the build rather than an optional add-on. We build and document your roof to that FORTIFIED standard as part of the job.

S-01 ResidentialMetal — standing seam & exposed fastener
+
ARP roll-forms standing-seam and exposed-fastener panels on our own equipment, puts a dedicated metal foreman on the install, and backs the roof with a written workmanship warranty.
2026 Rockport range: about $28,500 to $50,100 on a 2,000 sq ft home.

- 01Written scope and product data sheets
S-02 ResidentialClass 4 impact-rated shingle
+
If you are staying in the home, Class 4 impact-rated shingle is worth talking about first — the top impact grade under UL 2218, and many Texas carriers give a premium credit for a verified Class 4 roof.
2026 Rockport range: about $24,200 to $31,100 on a 2,000 sq ft home.
Class 4 shingle →What the grade means
- 03Premium credit with many Texas carriers
- 02Verified Class 4 roof documented for your carrier
- 01Top impact grade under UL 2218 testing
S-03 Storm damageStorm-damage roofing and documentation
+
When hail or wind hits a Rockport roof, the first move is documentation, not a repair: ARP photographs the damage the way your carrier needs to see it and hands you a written condition report.
If the damage is storm-related, insurance often covers much of the cost.

S-04 ResidentialSeamless gutters — formed on site
+
A roof moves water off the house; the gutters decide where it goes. ARP forms seamless aluminum gutter on site, in one continuous run per roofline, so the only joints on your house are at corners and outlets — the places a gutter is supposed to have them.
Best done with the roof: drip edge, underlayment and gutter apron detailed together by one crew.
Residential roofing →What is in a gutter scope
- 05Downspout sizing and placement — where water leaves the house, and where it lands away from the foundation.
- 04Gutter guards, if you want them — priced as a line item, not bundled in quietly.
- 03Hidden hangers into solid framing — fastened to structure, not to a rotted fascia board.
- 02Seamless runs formed on site — one continuous length per roofline, in your color.
- 01Fascia and drip-edge condition, photographed — we say so before the gutter goes up if the board needs work.

Why homeowners choose ARP
What is on the record — and what we will not do.
Rockport homeowners hire ARP for what is on the record. The second column is the part most roofers leave out of the conversation.
On the record
What you get
- 5,000-plus completed Texas projects. The volume behind your roof.
- 300-plus five-star reviews. Homeowner feedback across those projects.
- GAF Certified Plus and Atlas PRO+ certification. Manufacturer credentials ARP holds as a company.
- BBB A+ accreditation. ARP's Better Business Bureau rating.
- A documented process on every roof. Photo-documented inspection, written scope, one project manager start to finish.
- A written workmanship warranty. In writing, so you can hold us to it.
One honest note that protects you
What no roofer can do
- No legitimate roofer can pay or waive your deductible — under Texas Business & Commerce Code § 27.02 that is a crime.
- Under Texas Insurance Code § 707.002 the insured is required to pay the deductible.
- ARP does not act as your adjuster or negotiate your claim — Texas law keeps the roofing contractor and the public adjuster separate.
What ARP does instead: photograph and document the damage the way your carrier needs to see it, and give you a written condition report before you file.
Questions that decide the job
Rockport roofing — frequently asked questions
Do I need a windstorm certificate for a roof in Rockport?
+
Yes — Rockport is in Aransas County, a TWIA designated catastrophe county, so a new or replacement roof generally needs a WPI-8 Certificate of Compliance for TWIA windstorm coverage. ARP builds your roof to the windstorm code and coordinates the WPI-8 inspection and documentation with a qualified Texas windstorm engineer, so you don't manage that process yourself.
Is a FORTIFIED roof required in Rockport?
+
Yes. As of April 2026, a FORTIFIED roof is required for WPI-8 windstorm certification in the TWIA district that Aransas County sits in, so on a Rockport reroof it's part of the build, not a choice. FORTIFIED is an IBHS-verified, beyond-code standard — sealed deck, enhanced fastening, and impact-rated materials — and we build and document your roof to it as part of the job. A FORTIFIED designation is valid for five years.
Did ARP really work in Rockport after Hurricane Harvey?
+
Yes. Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 at Rockport and Fulton on August 25, 2017, and ARP was one of the first companies on the ground that first week. Because we're a roofing and remodeling company, we didn't stop at roofs — our remodeling crews restored and renovated complete homes, inside and out, and we've served Aransas County and the Coastal Bend ever since.
When is storm season in Rockport?
+
Gulf hurricane season runs June through November, and Rockport sits right on Aransas and Copano Bays, so surge and wind exposure are real in that window — on top of the spring hail and high wind that cross the mid-coast. Most Texas carriers give you one year from the date of loss to file a wind or hail claim, so document damage early and have it inspected.
Does ARP serve all of Aransas County?
+
Yes — ARP serves Rockport, Fulton, Aransas Pass, and the surrounding Aransas County bay communities, and the wider Coastal Bend across Nueces and San Patricio Counties. We schedule inspections around your calendar and stand behind the work long after the install.
