Seabrook At A Glance
What homeowners in Seabrook should know
How Seabrook ranks for large hail and home age, and who sets permit rules here.
Seabrook, in Harris County, is about 197 miles and 3 hours 59 minutes by road from our Round Rock base. Roofing permit rules are set locally, and Texas has no statewide roofing license, so we confirm the rules for your address before work starts.
Wind & Hurricane Country
Seabrook’s roofing risk is wind, hurricane, and derecho more than hail. A written record after any major wind event protects your position before any repair decision. Seabrook is a Harris County city in the Houston & Gulf Coast region, where Gulf hurricanes, tropical flooding and wind shape roof exposure.
Wind & Storm Exposure
The strongest thunderstorm wind gust reported within ten miles from 2000 to 2026 was 72 mph, on April 10, 2024. NOAA logged 69 thunderstorm wind reports within ten miles of Seabrook from 2000 to 2026.
The Homes Here
The median home in Seabrook was built in 1991, and 49 percent of homes here were built before 1990. Of the other cities on this site, 50 percent have newer homes than Seabrook.
Common Roofing Issues
Wind lifts and creases shingles, moves flashing, exposes decking and lets water in. A documented inspection records those before the next storm makes them worse.

Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Harris County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Seabrook centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked October 23, 2026 against two feeds that do not share the archive's bias: radar hail signatures from the NEXRAD hail detection algorithm (NOAA NCEI Severe Weather Data Inventory, same 10 mile radius, 2000-2026), counted as days with a signature of one inch or larger, and the Storm Prediction Center's preliminary reports for the last 12 months, which are unreviewed and never a competing total. A radar day and a reported event are different units and are not expected to match: the archive needs a witness and undercounts, radar needs none and can flag hail that melted before it landed. What fell on one roof is settled by a documented inspection, not by any of these counts.
Year by year
Hail in Seabrook, 2006 to 2025
One row per year of hail reports one inch or larger near Seabrook, newest first, from the weather archive.
Twenty seasons, one row each
One row per year, newest first. Each row counts the hail reports of one inch or larger within ten miles of Seabrook, from the National Weather Service archive. 29 reports from 2006 to 2025, 10 of them at or above 1.75 inches, golf ball size. Counting only stones of one inch or larger, the busiest year in this table was 2024. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Where these figures come from
Figures drawn from public NOAA, National Weather Service, and Insurance Council of Texas, U.S. Census, and Texas Department of Insurance records and contemporaneous reporting. Not a formal risk assessment.
Live NOAA record Damaging wind has been reported 6 times in the same period, most recently 64 mph on July 22, 2026. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering September 23, 2024 to October 22, 2026. A report near a property confirms hail fell nearby. It does not confirm that any particular roof was damaged, and it is not a coverage determination.
About Seabrook
Local ground truth for Seabrook properties
Seabrook sits in Harris County in the Houston and Gulf Coast region, home to roughly 13,976 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). Gulf moisture and hurricane-season wind set the roofing risk profile here.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Seabrook are likely to be
Census figures on when Seabrook homes were built, which tells you roughly when their first roofs went on.
When the houses went up
Seabrook has 6,138 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1991. 67 percent were built before 2000 and 49 percent before 1990; 13 percent have been built since 2010. Half or more of the homes here predate 2000. An original asphalt-shingle roof from that era is at or past the 20-to-30-year service life typically cited for asphalt shingles, and many will already be on a second roof, which is worth confirming from a permit or a receipt rather than assuming.

Check which side of the line Seabrook falls on. Harris County is split for windstorm purposes: the portion east of Highway 146 sits inside Texas Windstorm Insurance Association territory, where roofing work generally requires a Texas Department of Insurance WPI-8 certificate issued after inspection. West of it, the requirement does not apply. Confirm the address before scoping the work, because it changes the inspection sequence.

Contractors must register with the building department, and the fee schedule lists the annual registration fee as $0.00. The city adopted the 2021 International Residential Code by Ordinance No. 2023-20, effective October 5, 2023, and requires a 150 mph design wind speed citywide.

Exterior & Painting
What Seabrook homeowners should know about exterior work
Get the roof documented first, since a roof visit often turns up fascia, gutter and trim damage.
Managed by The Roof Shepherd
Exterior work in Seabrook, from painting and epoxy coatings to siding, drywall, gutters and wood repair, is done here the same way it is done everywhere we work in Texas, by the Roof Shepherd team, start to finish. We document exterior condition during the roof visit so the work starts from an accurate record.
Sequence Matters
Get the roof documented first. Exterior work comes after. A roof visit often turns up fascia rot, pulled gutters and trim damage that change what the exterior job costs before any work begins.

Homeowner Reviews
David was amazing! Highly recommend for all roofing needs! He’s honest and reliable!
Owner Response
Thank you, Brandie. I appreciate you trusting me with the new construction roof inspection on your home in Lexington, Texas. A new roof should be installed the way the shingle manufacturer's instructions and the building code require, and you deserve to know that before you sign off. I was glad to walk you through what to look for, document what I found, and help you ask your builder the right questions. Thank you for the recommendation. It means a great deal as I keep building The Roof Shepherd one honest inspection at a time.
I recently got a roof installed and my trim painted with this company. The process was simple — David helped me pick out colors for the roof, and I had no idea there were so many to choose from. I appreciate David and his crew for taking care of my home and respecting my property by making sure everything was masked and cleaned up by the end of the process. These guys were on time, efficient, took care of everything I asked for, kept me updated throughout, and took care of the small details I was picky about. I would highly recommend!
Owner Response
Sloan, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It was a pleasure helping with your roof installation, trim painting, and the color-selection process. I’m glad the process felt simple and that the crew respected your property with proper masking, cleanup, and communication throughout the project. Those details matter, especially when we are working on someone’s home. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and painting work.
It has been a year since my roof was replaced by the Roof Shepherd crew, and so far no complaints, no leaks, and my roof looks amazing! Working with David since our first text message was so easy communicating my needs and expectations — I could not be happier.
Owner Response
Ofranel, thank you for sharing this. It means a lot hearing that a year later the roof still looks great, there are no leaks, and everything is holding up the way it should. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication and process. My goal is always to make the project clear, easy, and handled with care from start to finish. Thank you again for trusting me and The Roof Shepherd with your home.
