What matters for storm damage repair in Galveston
Historic districts
Roof work on historic properties may need approval from the city's historic preservation process, especially when changing materials or appearance.
Raised beach homes
Height and exposure make access harder and wind loads higher. Hip roofs and secondary water barriers are common upgrades.
Windstorm compliance
Most island homes with TWIA coverage need windstorm-compliant repairs with inspections and a certificate of compliance.
