McCamey sits fifty miles southwest of Midland on US Highway 385, where most homes date from the 1940s through 1970s oil boom. These single-story frame and brick houses often carry original composition shingles that have baked under repeated 100-degree summers and been scoured by spring dust storms. A roofing contractor based in Midland, TX reaches McCamey via the two-lane highway and stages materials at the edge of town to avoid narrow residential streets.
Wind exposure is higher here than in central Midland neighborhoods because the terrain opens toward the McCamey Wind Energy Center. Crews therefore use enhanced underlayment and additional fasteners on every slope. Flat or low-slope additions common on older McCamey properties also need improved drainage details to handle the rare but intense summer downpours that run off the caliche lots.
Access from Midland allows same-day inspections for McCamey residents, with work typically scheduled before the hottest months to keep crews off roofs during peak afternoon heat.

Roofing Contractor in McCamey, TX — Local Notes
- •Older McCamey homes along 5th Avenue and side streets often have single-layer shingles over skip sheathing that requires full deck inspection before re-roofing.
- •Dust storms carry fine sand that abrades granule surfaces; contractors here specify heavier granule or modified bitumen membranes on exposed slopes.
- •Lots are flat with minimal slope to the street, so roof runoff must be directed to avoid standing water against foundations during the short monsoon season.
- •Highway 385 delivery trucks need wide-turn staging areas; crews coordinate with the city to close one lane briefly when delivering full squares of shingles.
