Bill Manning, certified by the Texas Department of Insurance to do windstorm inspections, speculated Ike damaged the 41-year-old complex on Sept. 13.
The Galveston County Daily News reported Tuesday that more than one dozen people were part of the initial evacuation from the most damaged area of Cedar Ridge Apartments.
Manning made his recommendations in a letter Monday to La Marque city officials.
Property manager Joyce Hill, who worked on relocation Monday night, said everything possible would be done to "minimize the negative impact" on residents.
La Marque is about 10 miles northwest of Galveston.
