Windstorm (WPI-8) Certification in Harlingen, TX

Cameron County is a designated windstorm area. If your home is insured through TWIA, roof work usually has to be built to the Texas windstorm code and certified with a WPI-8. Buffalo Roofing & Exteriors builds to that code and handles the WPI-8 inspection and paperwork for homeowners in Harlingen and across the Rio Grande Valley.

What a WPI-8 Is

A WPI-8 is the Certificate of Compliance the Texas Department of Insurance issues when windstorm-related work, like a new roof, passes inspection. TWIA uses it to confirm the work meets the windstorm building code. Without it, you may have trouble getting or keeping windstorm coverage.

When You Need One

  • A new roof or roof replacement
  • Major roof repairs
  • New windows, doors or other openings
  • Additions to the home
  • Selling a home with TWIA coverage
