About
The business in short: the Galveston roofs we work on, how a job gets scoped and priced in writing, and the kinds of work we say no to.
A Galveston roofing business that starts with the metal
Seawall Roofing works Galveston: replacement, repair, leak tracing, emergency cover, flat roof repair and metal roofing, on a housing stock that runs from the Victorian and Greek Revival homes of the East End to the 1960s houses of Fish Village.
The site is built around what this island does to a roof. Salt air reaches the metal first, so every visit checks nails, drip edge, flashing and vent collars before anything else, and every quote names the metal going back on.
- Roofing only, no siding, gutters, windows or solar
- No storm paperwork of any kind
- Galveston's neighborhoods only
- No price without seeing the roof, and the attic where there is one
Four steps, no surprises
The metal checked first, and a written quote naming the nails, edge and flashing before any work.
Call with what you are seeing
Tell us the address and what is happening: a stain, a drip, shingles in the yard, rust streaks under a vent.
Metal first, then the rest
Nails at any lifted edge, drip edge at the eaves, flashing at walls and chimneys, vent collars, then the shingles and the attic.
A written quote that names the metal
The repair or the roof in plain language, with the nails, the drip edge and the flashing metal named.
The work, then the walkaround
Photographs before and after, and a walk around the finished job with you before the final payment. You keep the photographs.
How to find a reliable roofer in Galveston, TX
Every one of these is checkable, and every one of them is on ours.
They look before they price
A roofer who quotes over the phone without seeing the roof is guessing. A good one examines the roof, and the ceilings under it, first.
They name the metal
Corrosion-resistant nails and how many to a shingle, the drip edge width, the flashing metal and, on a metal roof, the panel gauge.
They handle the permit and the WPI-8
A Galveston re-roof needs a City permit and a WPI-8 windstorm certificate when it is finished. Whoever does the work should name both on the quote.
They know the districts
In the East End, Silk Stocking and Lost Bayou a replacement goes to the Landmark Commission first.
