General Contractor in Ames, TX

Building and Repairs in Ames

Ames sits just outside Liberty along Highway 90, small enough that most people know it as the town next door. Rocha's General Construction works on the rural and small-town housing spread across the area, from a single roof repair to a full addition, and the small scale of the town means most of the work is on individual homes rather than new subdivisions. Highway 90 also connects Ames toward Dayton and the rest of Liberty County, so most calls here are about a roof, a fence, or a home repair rather than a large new build.

We handle roof repair and replacement, storm damage repair, fences, siding and exterior repair, and additions. Concrete driveways and slabs, home repairs, new outbuildings, and general remodel work round out the work. Every estimate is free, and the scope and price go in writing before work starts, so nothing is left to guess at. We also handle painting and drywall and sheetrock work on the same property.

Ames sits in Liberty County, outside the TDI windstorm area, though Gulf Coast storms still bring wind and heavy rain out this way during hurricane season, which runs from June through November each year. We check what the area requires before starting permitted work, whether that's a roof, a fence, or a new addition. Southeast Texas humidity and rain reach Ames throughout the year, not only during hurricane season.

Rural and small-town housing near the Trinity River is the pattern around Ames, much like neighboring Liberty, with a mix of older frame homes, some pier-and-beam construction from before 1978, and newer construction. Humidity and seasonal rain take a slow toll on siding, trim, and fascia here the same way they do across the rest of Southeast Texas, and clay soil in the area shifts enough with wet and dry cycles to crack older slabs and driveways. Formosan termites swarm every spring in this part of the state too, adding to the wood rot risk that humidity and rain already cause on older homes.

Ames runs about 40 minutes from our base in Jefferson County, a trip that runs mostly along Highway 90. For a roof, a fence, or storm repair, call Rocha's General Construction for a free written estimate.
