General Contractor in Newton, TX

Building and Repairs in Newton

Newton's historic courthouse square sits in the middle of pine country, with the Sabine River marking the county line to the east. Rocha's General Construction works on the rural housing that spreads out from town in every direction, from single repairs to full remodels, much of it older construction spread across wide, wooded lots. US Highway 190 and State Highway 87 both pass through Newton, connecting the county seat to the rest of Newton County and toward the Sabine River to the east.

Call us for roof repair and replacement, storm damage repair, fences, siding and exterior repair, and home repairs including wood rot. Additions, concrete work, new outbuildings, and general repairs are also part of the work. Every estimate is free, and the scope and price go in writing before anything starts. We also handle painting and drywall and sheetrock work on the same property.

Newton is the Newton County seat, outside the TDI windstorm area, though Gulf Coast storms still reach this far east with heavy wind and rain during hurricane season, which runs from June through November. We check what the city requires before starting permitted work, and permits get pulled on the work we do. Southeast Texas humidity and rain reach Newton throughout the year, not only during hurricane season.

Rural housing spread across pine country is the pattern around Newton, a lot of it older frame construction, some of it pier-and-beam built before 1978, with the Sabine River running along the county's eastern edge. Rita brought significant wind and tree damage through this area in 2005, and pine timber close to a house still means roof and fence risk during hurricane season. Years of humidity also rot out fascia, trim, and siding bottoms on homes that have gone a while without attention. Formosan termites swarm every spring in this part of the state too, adding another layer of wood rot risk on top of what humidity and storms already cause.

Newton is about an hour from our base in Jefferson County, a trip that runs mostly along Highway 96 and Highway 190. For storm repair, a new roof, or general home repairs, call Rocha's General Construction for a free written estimate.
