...What We Do
Aran & Franklin Engineering, Inc consists of  a group of dedicated  structural civil engineers specializing in windstorm
design and inspection. We accept work primarily in
Texas First Tier Coastal Counties of Jefferson, Chambers and
Galveston, but also take some limited work in Harris, Hardin and Brazoria counties. We are an independent firm working
in conjunction with the
Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) - Windstorm to certify buildings in high wind areas.  We also
work with clients to provide construction documentation to the cities and counties as required.

Our inspectors are neither professional engineers nor affiliated with Texas Department of Insurance - Windstorm. Please
contact our office to schedule an inspection of your project.  All information regarding products used and installation
methods must be communicated to our main office before an inspection is scheduled.  We also have a full service on-
site production team that designs and drafts all the necessary documents to assist us in the completion of your project.

Our primary services include windstorm certification for:

  • New Residence
  • New Roof or Roof Repairs (may require initial product consultation, see below)
  • Changing of Windows, Doors, Shutters, Vinyl or Hardi Siding (may require initial product consultation, see below)
  • Additions - New Rooms or Decks
  • Removal of Existing Structures

Other services include:

  •     Permitting / GLO Packages
  •     Drafting Services



Initial Product Consultations:

    Replacement or new construction of metal roofs, doors and windows will require an initial consultation  prior to
    ordering materials. This is necessary to ensure that only materials that will satisfy certification requirements are
    purchased, saving you the time and expense of replacing inadequate materials. At this consultation, a list of
    approved products for your project will be provided to you. There is an initial consultation fee of $100 that must be
    paid at the time of consultation.

NOTE:  All consultations require an appointment.
Please contact us to
discuss your project.  
Since every home is as
unique as the individual,
our fees vary due to the
nature and complexity of
the project.
