Roofs in Groves: what to know
Homes are mostly 1950s–1970s brick and wood-frame ranch houses on tree-lined lots, many shaded by large pecan trees. Tree limbs over roofs are a frequent cause of storm damage.
Pecan and oak limbs over roofs
Large, brittle pecan limbs break in tropical-storm winds and puncture roofs. Trimming overhanging limbs before hurricane season prevents many emergency calls.
Close to Sabine Lake
Being just inland of Port Arthur, Groves takes near-coastal wind speeds. High-wind shingle installation and sealed decking pay off here.

Groves homeowners ask
Does pecan debris affect my Groves roof or gutters?
Yes. Leaves, husks and small limbs from the city's pecan trees pile up in valleys and gutters every fall, holding moisture against shingles and causing overflow at the eaves. A fall gutter clean-out and a check of the valleys cut down on leaks that look like roof failure but start with clogged drainage.
Who issues roof permits in Groves?
Yes. The City of Groves requires a building permit for re-roofing, and TDI windstorm inspections apply for TWIA eligibility.
Should I trim trees before hurricane season?
Yes. Removing dead limbs and branches overhanging the roof before June is one of the cheapest ways to prevent storm damage.
