Short answer: We remodel homes in League City, which incorporated in 1962 and had about 114,000 residents by 2020. The City of League City issues permits, and because it’s in Galveston County, one of 14 coastal counties in the TDI windstorm catastrophe area, most new construction, roof replacements and structural alterations like patio covers and additions need a windstorm inspection and WPI-8 certificate for TWIA coverage.

A fast-growing bay city

League City grew fastest in the 1960s and ’70s and again in the 2000s, when families priced out of Galveston moved inland. It passed Galveston as the county’s largest city in the early 2000s. Its subdivisions, like Victory Lakes, range from 1970s homes to newer builds.

WPI-8 for structural work

In Galveston County, windstorm inspections are done during construction by a TDI-appointed engineer or TDI inspector; certifying finished work later costs more. We schedule inspections as we build.

What doesn’t need windstorm inspection

Questions from League City homeowners

Does a kitchen remodel need a windstorm inspection in League City?

Generally no. TDI exempts non-structural work like cabinets, painting, flooring and plumbing or electrical repairs. Structural work such as patio covers, additions and roofs usually does need one.

What is a WPI-8?

A TDI certificate of compliance showing that construction meets windstorm building codes. Most homes need it to buy a TWIA policy.
