Roofing companies in Beaumont

TDI says new construction, repairs and renovations in the catastrophe area may need a windstorm inspection, and that most roof replacements and major repairs do. The one carve-out TDI gives is a roof repair under 100 square feet that doesn't involve decking. Anything larger, or a full replacement, should be planned around the inspection.

There are two certificates. A WPI-8 covers work inspected while it's underway, by an appointed Texas-licensed engineer or a TDI windstorm inspector. A WPI-8-E covers completed work inspected by a Texas-licensed engineer, which is the route left if nobody booked inspections during the job. TDI advises asking your contractor how they will meet the inspection requirement, so get the answer in the contract.

TWIA and a Beaumont roof

Texas law doesn't require windstorm insurance, but a coastal lender likely will. TWIA sells to homeowners who were turned down by an insurer and have a compliance certificate, and no one can buy a policy while a hurricane is in the Gulf. TWIA claims must be filed within one year of the storm.

Texas has no state license for reroofing contractors, according to the Legislature's 2025 analysis of HB 3344, a licensing bill that didn't pass. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas runs a voluntary credential for roofers who pass its exams. Ask the City of Beaumont whether your reroof needs a permit, ask the roofer who will pull it, and confirm the number with the city.

• Get at least three bids on letterhead, and never sign a contract with blanks.
• Refuse any contract that gives the roofer "the value of insurance proceeds."
• After a declared disaster, an out-of-area remediation contractor can't require payment before work starts, and partial payments must be proportionate to work done. The rule doesn't cover a contractor with a local address in the same or an adjacent county for at least a year.

HomeGuide's Texas average for a roof replacement is $5,600 to $15,800 (November 2025). Ask whether windstorm inspection fees are included, and get them as a line item. On a claim, you must pay your deductible. A roofer who waives, absorbs or rebates it without the insurer's consent commits a Class B misdemeanor, and contracts of $1,000 or more paid from a claim must carry the deductible notice in 12-point bold type.
