Call (409) 683-9988Note 01Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Galveston?
Yes. A roof replacement needs a building permit from the City of Galveston Building Division, and the City requires a WPI-8 windstorm certificate on completion. Both should be in the quote, handled by whoever does the work.
Note 02How often should a roof be replaced?
When it stops being repairable, not on a calendar. Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years and metal at 40 to 70, but a roof is done when it leaks in several places, sags, or loses shingles in every wind because its nails have rusted.
Note 03Does a historic district change a roof replacement?
In the East End, Silk Stocking and Lost Bayou, yes. A replacement goes to the Landmark Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness, and the City's standards ask for historically appropriate material and pattern. Composition shingle is acceptable in a color similar to the original.
