Overhanging limbs
Branches wear away granules and can lift or puncture shingles in a storm. We check the slopes under the canopy and tell you which limbs are touching the roof.

What we do
Roof repair and replacement for Groves homes
Our local roofing company repairs leaks and tree damage, replaces aging roofs, and inspects roofs across Groves. We look at the roof first, explain what needs doing and what can wait, and give you the scope in writing.
Most tree-related damage is a roof repair job. If a limb has come through the roof, go straight to emergency leak repair.
Clogged valleys and gutters
Leaves, husks, and twigs dam up water so it runs sideways under the shingles. We inspect valleys and check the decking along the eaves for rot.
Shade and slow drying
Shaded slopes stay wet, which encourages algae and moss and shortens shingle life. We check these areas for soft spots and granule loss.
On-site pricing
How Much Does Roofing Cost in Groves?
Most roof repairs in Groves run about $350 to $1,500, and most full roof replacements about $8,000 to $18,000+, depending on roof size, pitch, and materials. Under heavy tree cover, rotted decking along eaves and valleys is a common extra.
The exact cost is confirmed after an on-roof inspection and a written scope, so the price is based on what is actually failing.
Roofing in Groves
A city that started as a pecan orchard
Groves began around 1919, when several thousand pecan trees were planted here and the development was called Pecan Grove. It became a city in 1952 and is now bordered by Port Arthur on three sides and Port Neches to the northwest.
Trees are the first thing we look at here. Where pecans and oaks overhang a roof, limbs scrape shingles in the wind, leaves and husks fill valleys and gutters, and shade keeps the surface damp. Most of that damage is slow and easy to miss until water backs up under the shingles.
Groves is also low and close to the water. Most of the city sits 5 to 15 feet above sea level, and Sabine Lake is about 3 miles to the southeast, so roofs here get the same hurricane wind and heavy rain as Port Arthur.
Where we work
Areas we cover
Groves covers about 5 square miles and we work in all of it, from the Port Neches side to the streets nearest Sabine Lake, which are the most exposed to wind off the water.
Groves is in Jefferson County, inside the Texas coastal windstorm area. A roof replacement here needs a windstorm inspection and certificate (a WPI-8) for the home to qualify for wind and hail coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), so raise it before work starts.
Local roofing questions
Roofing questions from local homeowners
Can tree limbs damage a roof if they only touch it?+
Yes. A limb that moves in the wind works like sandpaper, wearing off the granules that protect the shingle from the sun. Once the asphalt is exposed it dries out and cracks. Keep branches trimmed several feet clear of the roof, and have the slope underneath checked for worn or lifted shingles.
How often should gutters and valleys be cleared under pecan trees?+
At least twice a year, and again after the leaves and husks drop in the fall. Check sooner after a storm. Debris in a valley holds water and pushes it under the shingles, and overflowing gutters soak the fascia and the edge of the roof deck.
A limb fell on my roof. What should I do first?+
Stay off the roof, and keep out of the room below if the ceiling is sagging. Take photos from the ground, catch water inside if you can, and call for an inspection. Impact damage often extends past the visible hole, with cracked decking or rafters underneath, so the area needs checking from the attic as well.
Is Groves in the coastal windstorm insurance area?+
Yes. Groves is in Jefferson County, one of the 14 coastal counties in the area. That matters when you replace a roof: the work needs a windstorm inspection and certificate, known as a WPI-8, for the home to qualify for coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). Ask how the inspection will be handled before you sign, because it is simplest and cheapest while the roof is being installed.
