General Contractor in Evadale, TX

Building and Repairs in Evadale

Evadale is a paper mill town on the Neches River, and Highway 96 still runs right along that stretch north out of Jefferson County. The town is small, and a lot of the housing dates back to the years when the mill was the center of the local economy, with newer homes filling in on the rural lots around it. Highway 96 carries traffic between Silsbee and Buna, and the stretch through Evadale runs close enough to the Neches River that flooding and storm damage are part of the local history. Rocha's General Construction works on those older frame homes and the rural lots around them.

We handle roof repair and replacement, storm damage repair, fences, siding and exterior repair, and home repairs including wood rot. Additions, patio covers, new outbuildings, and general repairs are also part of the work. Every estimate is free, and we put the scope and price in writing before any work starts, so there is nothing left to guess at.

Evadale sits in Jasper County, unincorporated, which sits outside the TDI windstorm area. Building permits are fewer out here than inside a city, but floodplain rules still apply through the county, and we check what that means before we start any project near the river. Any new construction, addition, or major repair still has to account for the floodplain, even without a full city permit office to check with.

Older frame homes are common in Evadale, many of them pier-and-beam construction built well before 1978. Rita brought heavy wind and tree damage across Jasper County in 2005, and the tall pines along the Neches River still come down on roofs and fences when a storm moves through. Years of Southeast Texas humidity also take a toll on fascia, trim, siding bottoms, and door frames on homes that have not been maintained in a while, and hurricane season here runs from June through November every year. Formosan termites swarm in this part of Southeast Texas every spring, adding another layer of wood rot risk on top of what humidity and storms already cause.

Evadale runs about 20 minutes from our base in Jefferson County. For roof repair, storm cleanup, or a home repair project, call Rocha's General Construction for a free written estimate.
