What Corpus Christi roofs have to handle
Hurricane-grade installation isn't optional
Code here requires wind-rated shingles (110+ mph), six nails per shingle (not the standard four), and sealed deck with peel-and-stick underlayment. Any contractor who won't itemize these is either inexperienced or cutting corners.
Salt air corrodes metal fasteners and accelerates shingle wear
Within ~5 miles of saltwater, use stainless steel or zinc-aluminum alloy fasteners (not standard galvanized). Aluminum and copper roofing outperform steel near the coast. Warranties often exclude salt exposure — read the fine print.
