Roofing and Siding in Clear Lake City, Houston

Clear Lake City is the part of Houston around the NASA space center, developed from the 1960s onward, with subdivisions older than most of League City’s. It is in Harris County and west of SH 146, so there is no windstorm certificate on a re-roof here.

Clear Lake City is in Harris County, and outside TWIA. Harris County is TWIA-eligible only east of State Highway 146, and Clear Lake City sits west of it. A re-roof here is not built for a WPI-8 windstorm certificate, and nothing on this page assumes one.

Older Than the Other Side of the Creek

Many Clear Lake City houses predate the master-planned boom south of Clear Creek. That shows in the siding: hardboard lap on a lot of them, swollen at the bottom courses where sprinklers and rain hit it. The hardboard page covers replacement.

A Roof Without the Inspection

Because Harris County is TWIA-eligible only east of SH 146, a re-roof in Clear Lake City does not go through the TDI windstorm inspection. The quality of the work is not optional just because nobody from TDI sees the decking; the same fastening and edge details still decide how the roof handles a gust.

Permits

Clear Lake City is inside the City of Houston. This site has not researched Houston’s re-roof permit rule and does not state one; ask the City.

Asked in Clear Lake City

  1. Is Clear Lake City its own city?

    No. It was annexed into Houston and is part of the City of Houston.

  2. Does a Clear Lake City re-roof need a WPI-8?

    No. It is in Harris County, west of SH 146, outside TWIA.

  3. Is my siding hardboard?

    On many older houses here, yes. Tap it: hardboard sounds hollow and swells at the edges when wet.
