Roofing in Seabrook, TX, the Exception on the Harris Side

Seabrook is in Harris County, but it is east of State Highway 146, on Galveston Bay. TDI names it among the Harris County cities inside its Windstorm Inspection Program, alongside La Porte, Morgan’s Point, Pasadena and Shoreacres. So a Seabrook re-roof is built and inspected like one in Kemah.

Seabrook is in Harris County and inside TWIA. TWIA covers the parts of Harris County east of Highway 146, and TDI lists Seabrook by name. A re-roof here is built to the adopted windstorm code and inspected for a certificate of compliance.

Why Seabrook and Not Nassau Bay

The test is the highway and TDI’s city list, not the lake. Seabrook sits east of SH 146 and is on the list; Nassau Bay, El Lago, Taylor Lake Village, Webster and Clear Lake City sit west of it and are not.

An Address West of the Highway

TWIA’s wording is “parts of Harris County east of Highway 146,” while TDI names Seabrook as a city. If a Seabrook address sits west of the highway, call TDI at 800-248-6032 before a contractor orders materials. It is a two-minute question and it decides the whole build.

On the Bay

Bayfront Seabrook houses, many raised, face open water to the east. Everything on the metal roofing and windstorm re-roof pages applies here.
