Roofs in Nederland: what to know
Most homes are 1950s–1980s brick ranch houses with low-slope gable or hip roofs, plus infill homes from the 1990s on. Many were re-roofed after Rita, Ike or Laura, so a lot of Nederland roofs are now 15–20 years into their life.
Roofs replaced in the same storm waves
Because large parts of Mid-County were re-roofed after 2005 and 2008, many roofs are reaching end of life at the same time. Curling shingles and granule loss are common now.
Low-slope ranch roofs
Lower-pitch roofs shed water more slowly, so wind-driven rain gets under lifted shingles more easily. Underlayment and high-wind nailing are important on these homes.

Nederland homeowners ask
Who issues roof permits in Nederland?
Yes. The City of Nederland requires a building permit for roof replacement, and the work is subject to TDI windstorm inspection for TWIA eligibility.
My roof was replaced after Hurricane Rita — is it due?
A 2005–2006 architectural shingle roof is now roughly 20 years old, which is late in its life on the Gulf Coast. An inspection will tell you whether it has a few more years or should be planned for replacement.
