Home › Service Areas › Old Katy and Downtown Katy
Every other area on this site is a subdivision. Old Katy is a city. The City of Katy was incorporated in 1945, and its housing is mixed: older bungalows and pier-and-beam homes, infill, and later subdivisions grown up around them.
Inside city limits there is a municipal government of its own, which means an address in the City of Katy can be subject to city rules that an address in a neighboring subdivision is not. This site does not quote those rules, and it does not quote permit thresholds anywhere: they are set locally, they change, and the contractor doing the work confirms what a specific address needs.
The practical effect is that neighbors in the same kind of house may face different requirements. Ask the contractor which jurisdiction the address sits in.
Older homes here are commonly pier-and-beam over a crawl space. A roof leak or overflowing gutter reaches soil that cannot drain freely.
Frame, wood siding and brick veneer sit on the same street. Siding condition varies house by house.
Some of the oldest roofs are recent replacements; some are decades old. Age must be checked house by house.
Hurricane Beryl flooded streets at more than eight locations in the City of Katy and South Mayde Creek overflowed, according to Covering Katy News. That is a water-level matter, not a roofing one.
Beryl left roof damage in the City of Katy itself, documented alongside the flooding. The dated sequence is on the storm history page. After wind, start with a storm inspection, whatever the age of the roof.
