The Short Answer
After a storm, the first job is stopping more water: tarping the roof and boarding broken openings, which do not wait on a permit. Then we photograph and measure the damage, write a line-by-line repair scope your adjuster can read, and repair the roof, fence, siding and interior under one crew. The claim stays yours.

What should you know about storm damage repair here?
When a storm passes through Southeast Texas, the damage is rarely in one place. A limb takes out a section of fence, the wind lifts shingles on the back slope, a piece of siding ends up in the neighbor's yard, and water finds its way into a bedroom ceiling. Rocha's General Construction repairs all of it under one crew: roof, fence, siding, windows, trim and the interior finish that got wet.
We start by making the house safe and dry, then we document what happened and give you a written repair scope.
What goes into a storm damage repair?
Storms are part of living between the Neches and the Sabine. Rita in 2005, Ike in 2008, Harvey in 2017, Imelda in 2019, and Laura and Delta in 2020 all left their mark on Jefferson County, Orange County and Hardin County. Between the named hurricanes come spring hail, straight-line winds and pop-up thunderstorms that can do as much damage to a single street.
The first hours matter most. An open roof or broken window lets in rain every afternoon until it is closed up, and that water turns a roof job into a sheetrock, insulation and flooring job. We tarp roofs, board openings and secure loose material so the damage stops growing.
Tree damage is its own kind of job. A pine that lands on a house can crack rafters, punch through decking and break ceiling joists. Tree removal is done by a tree service. Once the weight is off, we repair the framing, the roof deck, the roof covering and the ceiling below.
Wind damage to siding, soffit and fascia is common and easy to miss from the ground. Loose soffit panels let wind-driven rain and pests into the attic. Hail can crack vinyl, dent gutters and bruise shingles without leaving an obvious hole.
Documentation is part of the repair. We photograph every damaged area, measure it, and write a line-by-line scope. That gives your insurance adjuster a clear picture of the work. We can meet the adjuster on site to show what we found. The claim, the coverage decision and the payment are between you and your insurer. We do the repair.
After a big storm, contractors from out of state knock on doors across the Golden Triangle. Before you sign with anyone, check for a local address, get the price in writing, and do not pay the full amount before work starts.
If the storm put floodwater in the house, see our water and flood damage page. Wiring and plumbing that got wet are checked by licensed electricians and plumbers; we coordinate with licensed trades on those parts.

How does a storm damage repair run?
Call us and describe what you see. If water is coming in, tell us that first.
We come out, make it safe, and stop further damage with tarps or board-up where needed.
Then comes the walk-through. We photograph the roof, siding, fence, windows and interior, take measurements, and write a scope for every item.
You get a free written estimate. If you have filed a claim, you can hand the scope and photos to your adjuster.
Once you approve the work, we pull any permits the job needs, order materials, and schedule the trades in the right order: roof first, then exterior, then interior.
We finish with cleanup and a final walk so you can see every repair.
Permits and inspections
Does a storm damage repair need a permit?
Emergency tarping and board-up are done to protect the house and do not wait on a permit. The permanent repair is what may need one: a re-roof, new windows or doors, or rebuilt framing usually does, while patching sheetrock or replacing a fence section may not. We sort out what the city or county requires once the house is secure.
In Jefferson and Chambers counties, roof, window, door and addition work can also need a Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection during the job.

You get a written price before we start and straight talk about what can wait and what cannot.
Pricing
What Moves the Price
How much of the house was hit
Roof, fence, siding and interior damage are scoped line by line, so the number follows the list.
Hidden water
Wet insulation, decking or framing found once things are opened up is talked through before the work changes.
Materials to match
Replacing a few boards or shingles to blend, or a whole wall or slope when patching would not match.
FAQ
Storm Damage Repair FAQ
Can you tarp my roof right after the storm?
Yes. Temporary tarping and board-up keep rain out until the permanent repair is scheduled. After a major hurricane, demand is heavy, so call early.
Will you deal with my insurance company for me?
No. Texas law does not allow a contractor to act as your adjuster. We document the damage, write a clear repair scope, and can meet the adjuster to show what we found. The claim is yours.
What if the tree is still on the house?
A tree service removes the tree. We can be there to secure the opening right after, then repair the framing, roof and ceiling.
