Boating in Houston
Houston is a trailer-boat town. Most boats here live in driveways, side yards and storage lots and get towed to Lake Conroe, Lake Houston, Clear Lake or Galveston Bay. That's also why so many end up stuck: a boat that stops running gets parked beside the garage, the registration lapses, and a few summers later it's a rotted hull on flat tires with an HOA letter attached.
The other Houston pattern is water. Heavy rain and tropical storms swamp boats in canals and boathouses, and flooding along the bayous and rivers can leave a boat a long way from where it was parked.
Worth Knowing
Local things that affect the job
HOA and deed-restriction deadlines
Many Houston-area neighborhoods restrict boats parked in view of the street. If you've received a violation notice, tell us the deadline when you request a quote.
Tight suburban access
Side-yard boats behind fences and narrow gates are common in master-planned suburbs. Photos of the path to the street help us quote accurately.
Flood season
After a major rain event, check with your insurer before a flooded boat is moved. Many policies want photos or an inspection first.
