Is Fort Stockton too far for Roofs by Nicholas?

No. Fort Stockton is about two hours from Midland by US 385 through Crane and McCamey, or by I-20 and I-10 when we have other jobs on the corridor. We also serve Iraan, McCamey, Imperial and Coyanosa, so a crew is in Pecos County regularly. Out-of-town jobs are scheduled so materials and crew arrive together.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Fort Stockton?

Yes. The City of Fort Stockton requires a roofing permit for any residential or commercial roof work inside city limits, and the contractor must be registered with the city. The permit is a $100 application fee plus a $500 deposit that the city refunds after the final inspection, once we show the landfill receipts for the old roof. We handle the application, the registration and the inspection; allow 7 to 10 business days for the city to process it.

Do you roof ranch houses and barns outside Fort Stockton?

Yes. Ranch homes, shops and barns off US 385, US 67, SH 18 and FM 1776 are a normal part of our Pecos County work. For outbuildings we usually recommend standing seam or stone-coated steel; for the house, Class 4 shingles or metal.

Can you roof a business or commercial building in Fort Stockton?

Yes. We install TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up and coating systems on the highway businesses, hotels, shops and oilfield buildings along I-10 and Dickinson Blvd, and we provide certificates of insurance and a written scope before the work starts.

How bad has the hail been in Fort Stockton?

Bad enough to plan around. Hail of 1.75 inches or more hit in or within five miles of town in October 2022, May 2024, April 2025 and October 2025, with April 26, 2025 producing baseball-size stones on the west side and a 5-inch stone southeast of town. If your roof was on the house for any of those, a free inspection is worth your time even if nothing is leaking.

Will my insurance pay for hail damage from an older storm?

Most Texas homeowner policies give you one to two years from the date of loss to file. We document the damage with dated photos, tie it to the storm date, and meet your adjuster on the roof. Under Texas law we can't negotiate the claim or waive your deductible, but we make sure nothing is missed.

My house was built in the 1970s. What should I expect?

Most 1970s Fort Stockton homes have had at least one re-roof, and many have two layers of shingles. We tear off to the deck, replace damaged boards at a per-sheet price quoted up front, and install new underlayment, drip edge and flashing. The city requires the old roof to go to an approved landfill, and the receipts are what release your permit deposit.

What does a new roof cost and can I finance it?

Installed prices start around $3.75 per square foot of roof area for standard shingles, $5 for Class 4 shingles and $6.50 for exposed-fastener metal, including tear-off. We quote in writing after measuring the roof. Financing is through Wisetack; you can prequalify online without affecting your credit score. Every roof carries our written workmanship warranty, up to 1 year on repairs and up to 5 years on replacements, plus the manufacturer's warranty.

Fort Stockton's Roofer Since 1988

Fort Stockton is one of the farther towns we serve, at about two hours from our Midland office. Most trips go through Odessa and down US 385 by way of Crane and McCamey, though Interstate 10 brings us in when we're coming from other jobs to the south and west. Our crews also cover the farming and ranching communities around the county, like Imperial and Coyanosa. The company traces back to 1988, when Dan Nicholas began roofing homes in Midland as a one-man operation. Today we've completed more than 30,000 roofs. When you call, we'll set a time to come inspect your roof and give you a written estimate for free.

Hail and Wind Damage Repair in Fort Stockton

Weather in Fort Stockton has a way of swinging hard. Long, hot, dry stretches wear shingles down, and then a spring thunderstorm moves through with hail, heavy rain, and strong wind all at once. Roofs that were already weakened by sun and age are the ones most likely to leak afterward. If you suspect damage, we can inspect the whole roof and document it with photos. You'll get a written estimate you can share with your insurance company, and we're happy to meet the adjuster at your property if that helps. Your claim is between you and your insurer, but good documentation makes the conversation easier. We can also help get exposed areas tarped if the storm left openings.

Roofing in Fort Stockton: the local picture

Fort Stockton is the Pecos County seat, where I-10 meets US 285, US 385 and US 67, about two hours south of our Midland office. The 2020 census counted 8,466 residents and about 3,550 homes; the median house was built in 1975 and roughly six in ten predate 1980. The biggest build decade was the 1970s, followed by the 1960s and 1950s, so a large share of roofs in town are on their second or third covering. About 70 percent of homes are owner-occupied.

Fort Stockton gets more large hail than most towns we serve. On April 26, 2025, storm chasers and county emergency management reported hail from 1.75 inches in town to 2.5 inches on I-10 and 2.75 inches on the west side, with a 5-inch stone five miles southeast. On May 4, 2024, 1.75-inch wind-driven hail near the airport on US 285 broke windows and snapped two power poles. Golf-ball hail fell near Everts St and Railroad Ave on October 24, 2025, and on October 14, 2026 two tornadoes touched down northeast of town. A roof here needs Class 4 shingles or metal, sealed edges, and a contractor who will pull the city permit. We serve all of Fort Stockton ISD and the ranch country out US 385, SH 18 and FM 1776.
