Roofing in Rockport, TX — On the Ground Since Harvey Came Ashore

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, a roofing and remodeling company serving Texas, was one of the first companies on the ground that first week. And because we do remodeling as well as roofing, 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.

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.
