Do you really come out to Ozona?

Yes. Ozona is about 2 hours 15 minutes from our Midland office through Big Lake, and we also serve Big Lake, Iraan, Rankin and McCamey, so the route down SH 137 and US 67 is one we already run. Distance is part of how we work in West Texas. Phones are answered 24 hours a day at 432-520-7348.

How do you schedule a job that far from Midland?

After we see the roof we give you a realistic start date and group the tear-off, dry-in and shingle days so the crew stays on site and finishes in one trip. Materials are ordered and staged before we leave Midland. After a big storm, demand across the Basin can push start dates, and we tell you that up front rather than overpromise.

Do I need a permit to re-roof in Ozona?

Ozona is unincorporated and Crockett County publishes only a floodplain development permit, so we have found no county building or roofing permit for a re-roof. If your property sits in a mapped floodplain we check with the courthouse first.

My house is from before 1970. What should I expect?

About four in ten Ozona homes are, and a quarter predate 1950. Expect at least one old layer to tear off, plank decking with some boards replaced at a per-sheet price quoted in advance, new drip edge and step flashing, and synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water shield in the valleys. We photograph the deck before it is covered.

Can you roof a hunting cabin or barn on a ranch outside Ozona?

Yes. Ranch houses, hunting cabins, barns and equipment shops across Crockett County are regular work for us. For buildings far from town we usually recommend standing seam metal or stone-coated steel, which shed hail, hold in wind and need little maintenance. Send gate directions and the best cell number for the day of the inspection.

Which roof handles Ozona's wind and hail best?

Ozona has recorded 64 mph gusts at the airport and a windstorm that damaged a warehouse roof in 2021, with hail in the county in 2024 and golf-ball hail in 2026. For town houses, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles with a six-nail, high-wind installation. For ranch buildings, standing seam metal. We price both and show you the difference.

Should I get the roof checked if I can't see damage from the ground?

Yes. Wind-lifted shingles and hail bruising usually do not leak for a year or more, and on an isolated property nobody notices until the ceiling stains. We inspect from the roof, photograph everything, and tell you whether it needs a claim, a repair, or nothing. There is no charge for the inspection.

Can I finance a roof in Ozona, and what warranty do I get?

Financing is through Wisetack; prequalify online without affecting your credit. 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. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor and CertainTeed ShingleMaster we can offer both manufacturers' extended coverage.

Ozona's Roofer Since 1988

Ozona is the county seat and only town of any size in Crockett County, sitting just off Interstate 10 in the middle of big ranch country. From our Midland office it is a little over two hours. Crews head south to Big Lake and take State Highway 137 down into town, and from there we can reach ranch properties up State Highway 163 toward Barnhart and out along the I-10 corridor. Yes, we really do make that trip. Roofs by Nicholas began in Midland in 1988 with Dan Nicholas working alone, and it has grown into a company that has finished more than 30,000 roofs and holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor status. Call us about your roof, and we will plan a visit, inspect it carefully, and give you a written estimate that is completely free.

Hail and Wind Damage Repair in Ozona

Roofs around Ozona deal with a mix of stresses. Spring thunderstorms can bring hail and sharp wind across the western Edwards Plateau, and the long, hot summers bake shingles and sealants year after year. Many homes and ranch buildings also sit far from the nearest neighbor, so damage may not get noticed until a leak shows up inside. That makes an inspection after a big storm worth the phone call. When we come out, we check the whole roof, photograph any damage, and write an estimate you can share with your insurer. If you would like, we can meet your adjuster on-site. Your claim is between you and your insurer. For roofs that are open to the weather, we can help get exposed areas tarped until repairs are on the calendar.

Roofing in Ozona: the local picture

Ozona is the seat of Crockett County and the only town in it, an unincorporated community of 2,663 people where SH 163 crosses I-10 about 2 hours 15 minutes southeast of our office by way of Big Lake. The town was laid out in 1891 and a flood in 1954 destroyed about half its houses, so the housing stock is older than the map suggests: the median house was built in 1977, about 41 percent of homes date from before 1970 and a quarter from before 1950, with building spurts in the 1990s and again since 2010. About 77 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied, 82 percent of all units are detached single-family houses and roughly 11 percent are manufactured homes. Add the ranch headquarters, hunting cabins and shops spread across a 2,800-square-mile county and most of the work is a long way from the nearest supply house, which is why we plan every Ozona job as one trip.

Crockett County storms tend to come as wind and hail off the Edwards Plateau. On the night of May 28 into May 29, 2021, thunderstorm winds in Ozona broke numerous tree limbs, damaged a warehouse roof and knocked out power across town. On June 25, 2023, the Ozona airport station measured a 64 mph gust from a collapsing storm. On April 27, 2024, nickel to quarter hail fell 9 miles northwest of town, and on May 21, 2026, golf-ball hail was filmed on CR 404 near I-10, 14 miles west-southwest of Ozona. Ozona has no city government, and Crockett County publishes only a floodplain development permit, not a building or roofing permit, so we have found no re-roof permit requirement in the county; we confirm with the courthouse if your property is in a mapped floodplain. We serve all of Crockett County Consolidated CSD, including the ranches along SH 163, SH 137, FM 1973 and I-10, plus Big Lake, Sheffield and Iraan to the north and west.

Ranches, Hunting Cabins, and Town Homes Around Ozona

Crockett County is known for wool, mohair, and hunting, and the buildings around Ozona reflect that. Along with homes in town, there are ranches, barns, hunting cabins, and equipment shops spread across thousands of acres. Many of these buildings are miles down a ranch road, and that kind of drive is normal for our crews. Metal roofing, whether standing seam or stone-coated steel, is often the best fit for remote buildings that need to go years without much attention. In town, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are the usual choice for homes. We also work on commercial roofs, including TPO, EPDM, and metal, for businesses along I-10, and we can set up a maintenance plan so you are not waiting on a leak to call us.
