What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Note the wind when it leaksIn every rain, or only when the wind blows from one side. That one detail points at a wall flashing or an eave before anybody climbs a ladder.
- Look at the edges from the groundRust streaks running down from the drip edge or a vent, shingles lifted along an eave, flashing standing away from a wall. Each one tells the roofer where to look first.
- Ask for the metal on the quoteWhich nails, how many to a shingle, how wide the drip edge, what the flashing is made of. A quote that names them is a quote you can check.

Call (409) 683-9988Note 01How do I stop my roof leaking in heavy rain?
Catch the water inside, then find where it gets in, because heavy rain only reveals a weak point that was already there. In Galveston that is very often metal: flashing rusted through at a wall, a corroded vent collar, or a drip edge too narrow to stop wind-driven rain at the eave. Note which way the wind was blowing when it leaked and call; sealant on the roof in a storm is not a repair and nobody should be up there in one.
Note 02What is the cheapest way to repair a roof?
Fix the actual failure once, as early as possible, and fix the metal with it. On a Galveston roof the cheapest repair is the one that replaces the rusted nails and flashing along with the lost shingles, rather than sealant over the top that has to be redone after the next storm. Ask for that repair priced on its own, before anyone talks about a bigger job.
Note 03Do you need a permit to get your roof redone?
In Galveston, yes. A roof replacement needs a building permit from the City of Galveston Building Division, filed through the City's ePortal, and the City requires a WPI-8 windstorm certificate when the roof is finished. Inside the East End, Silk Stocking and Lost Bayou historic districts, a replacement also goes to the Landmark Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. The contractor doing the work should name all of it on the quote.
Note 04How do I find a reliable roofing contractor?
Look for one who examines the roof before quoting, names the materials in writing and handles the permit. In Galveston, add three checks: the quote names the nails and the drip edge, it includes the WPI-8 the City requires on a re-roof, and, in a historic district, it mentions the Landmark Commission. Texas issues no roofing license, so the written quote is what you hold a roofer to.
