Rushed storm repairs
Work done in the weeks after a hurricane is not always done well. We check nailing, reused flashing, and patched decking on roofs replaced after Rita, Ike, or Harvey.

What we do
Roof repair and replacement for Vidor homes
Our roofing team serving Beaumont and Vidor repairs storm damage, fixes leaks, and replaces aging roofs across Vidor. We inspect first, show you photos of what we find, and write up the scope before any work begins.
If the roof dates from the mid-2000s, read about replacing an aging roof. After the next big storm, start with roof repairs after storm damage.
Aging replacement roofs
A roof installed after Rita in 2005 is now about twenty years old, near the end of the expected life of many shingles in this climate. We tell you plainly how much life is left.
Trees and wind
Tall trees and hurricane wind are a hard combination. We check for impact damage, lifted ridge caps, and missing shingles after a major storm.
On-site pricing
How Much Does Roofing Cost in Vidor?
Most roof repairs in Vidor run about $350 to $1,500, and most full roof replacements about $8,000 to $18,000+, depending on roof size, pitch, and materials. Where an earlier storm repair covered over damaged decking, replacing it properly adds to the price.
The exact cost is confirmed after an on-roof inspection and a written scope, so the price is based on what is actually failing.
Orange County roofing
Three hurricanes in twelve years
Vidor is in western Orange County at Interstate 10 and FM 105, about 6 miles northeast of Beaumont. It was founded in 1898, has a logging history, and was incorporated in 1960.
Vidor and the surrounding area suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Rita in 2005, Ike in 2008, and Harvey in 2017. A roof that was repaired or replaced after one of those storms may have been done quickly and under pressure. That makes earlier work the first thing we check: how the shingles were nailed, whether flashing was replaced or reused, and whether damaged decking was actually changed.
The ground is low, about 20 feet above sea level, and summers are long and humid. Ventilation and dry decking matter here as much as wind resistance.
Where we work
Areas we cover
We work across Vidor on both sides of Interstate 10, and in the surrounding area outside the city limits, which took the same storm damage as the city.
Vidor is in Orange County, which is not one of the 14 coastal counties covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). Wind and hail damage here is normally handled under a regular homeowners policy.
Local roofing questions
Roofing questions from local homeowners
My roof was replaced after Hurricane Rita. Is it due for replacement?+
It is close. A roof installed in 2005 or 2006 is about twenty years old, and standard shingles in Southeast Texas heat and humidity usually last fifteen to twenty-five years. Look for curling edges, bare patches where granules have worn off, and shingles that crack when lifted. An inspection will tell you how many years are realistically left.
How can I tell if a past storm repair was done properly?+
From the ground you often cannot. On the roof, the signs are nails driven too high or at an angle, old flashing reused under new shingles, shingles that do not line up, and soft spots where damaged decking was covered over. We photograph what we find so you can see it yourself.
Is Vidor in the TWIA windstorm insurance area?+
No. Vidor is in Orange County, which is not one of the 14 coastal counties covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. Wind and hail damage is normally claimed under your regular homeowners policy, so check that policy for its wind and hail deductible.
What should I do about my roof after a hurricane passes?+
Check from the ground first for missing shingles, lifted ridge caps, and debris on the roof, and look in the attic for daylight or wet decking. Photograph everything before any cleanup. Catch active leaks from inside if you can, stay off the roof, and arrange an inspection so the damage is documented while it is fresh.
