Roofing and Siding in Dickinson, TX

Dickinson is in Galveston County, a TWIA first-tier county. A re-roof here, or a repair to a significant portion of the roof, is built to the windstorm code the Texas Department of Insurance has adopted and inspected for a certificate of compliance.

Older Houses Along the Bayou

Some of the older houses in Dickinson’s core are pier-and-beam, with lap siding and porch roofs built at different times from the main roof. Those joints are where leaks start, and on pier-and-beam houses the gutters and downspouts decide whether water ends up under the floor.

Newer Subdivisions Toward the Interstate

Slab-on-grade two-story houses with fiber-cement siding, similar to League City’s. The roof questions are the same: upper-slope wind damage, and re-roofs to the current code.

Water, Not Only Wind

Dickinson Bayou and its tributaries mean water is part of every storm conversation here. A roof sheds it; the gutters, downspouts and grading decide where it goes after that. See gutters and downspouts.
