Towns on this site
Four towns, four different sorts of exposure. The rules are the same and the roofs are not.
A roof in Calallen and a roof on Mustang Island are in the same insurance territory and have almost nothing else in common. One sits behind several miles of town and gets wind that has already been broken up by other buildings. The other takes salt spray off the Gulf every single day of its life.
These pages are the local version of the same information, because the thing that decides what happens to your roof is usually where the house sits rather than what is on it.
- Corpus Christi Bayfront wind, refinery air and a housing stock spread across seventy years.
- Port Aransas A barrier island roof works harder than anything on the mainland.
- Portland Open bay on two sides and a lot of roofs that all went on at once.
- Rockport Harvey came ashore here, and the roofs it replaced are now middle aged.
