What is Windstorm Certification?
In designated coastal areas of Texas, including Corpus Christi, the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) requires that certain structural improvements, including roof replacements, be inspected and certified.
This certification (WPI-8) proves that your roof was installed according to strict windstorm building codes, ensuring it can withstand the severe weather conditions common to the Gulf Coast.
