## Who We Are
Texas Windstorm Engineers is a licensed professional engineering firm (Texas License #117419) specializing in TDI windstorm certification for residential and commercial properties across the Texas Gulf Coast.

## What We Do
- WPI-8 Windstorm Certification: For ongoing construction projects (inspections at key stages before items are concealed).
- WPI-8E Windstorm Certification: For completed construction projects (6+ months old), using documentation and post-completion verification.
- Engineering Plans & Design: Permit-ready structural drawings, calculations, and design-build services.
- Structural Inspections: Foundation assessments, forensic engineering, and storm damage evaluations.

## Why Windstorm Certification Matters
Properties in Texas coastal counties (designated windstorm inspection regions) must obtain TDI certification for new construction, re-roofing, and certain remodeling projects in order to:
1. Qualify for windstorm insurance through TWIA (Texas Windstorm Insurance Association).
2. Comply with local building permit requirements.
3. Meet TDI (Texas Department of Insurance) wind resistance standards.

Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Brownsville, South Padre Island, Texas City, Freeport, Lake Jackson, Rockport, Port Aransas, Victoria, Port Lavaca, Bay City — and surrounding coastal Texas communities.
