Storm Damage Roof Repair
Texas weather can be unpredictable and extreme. Central Texas regularly sees hail, high winds, torrential rain, and the occasional severe storm front. Any one of those can damage a roof in ways that are not obvious from the ground. A lot of the damage that looks fine from the driveway is actually compromising the roof system underneath.
We inspect roofs across Greater Austin after major storms, document any damage, and help you work through the insurance claim if there is one. The inspection is free and comes with no obligation. If the damage does not qualify, we tell you so.
If a storm came through and you suspect damage, call (512) 270-8084 and we will get out for a free inspection.
What storm damage looks like
If severe weather hit your area, walk the property and look for these signs. Many of them are easy to miss from the ground.
Granule loss: shingle granules collecting in the gutters or at downspout outlets
Chipped or cracked shingles, especially on the storm-facing slope
Dents on roof vents, valleys, flashing, or gutters
Shingles pulled away or lifted from high winds
Water stain on a ceiling or wall that was not there before
Debris on the roof or yard that came from the roof itself
Tree limbs that struck the roof, even if no obvious damage
Soft spots in shingles that crumble under finger pressure
How we handle a storm damage claim
Free roof inspection
We climb the roof and document the damage with photos. The inspection is free and there is no obligation. If we do not see qualifying damage, we tell you so before you file anything.
Damage documentation
Any damage we find gets photographed and written up in a report you can hand directly to your insurance carrier.
File the claim with your carrier
You file with your insurance. Most carriers respond inside 72 hours to schedule an adjuster visit.
Meet the adjuster on the roof
We are happy to be on site when the adjuster comes out. The on-roof walkthrough takes about 10 to 20 minutes and prevents the back-and-forth that delays approval.
Repair or replace
Once the claim is approved you pay your deductible. We schedule and complete the work. Most repairs are one to three days; full replacements take three to five.
Emergency tarp service
For active leaks while the claim is in progress, we provide emergency tarping to keep further water out of the home.
Damage we document and repair
Storm damage rarely affects just one part of the roof. We document everything because partial repairs that miss damage end up coming back as a second claim.
How insurance handles it
Most Texas homeowners policies cover wind, hail, and storm-related roof damage in full, minus your deductible. The key is documenting the damage before the claim window closes (typically one to two years from the storm date, sooner is better) and getting an experienced roofer on the inspection so nothing is missed.
Our inspection is free. We tell you honestly whether the damage qualifies before you file anything. We document to the carrier's standard so claims do not get denied for missing paperwork or underpaid because something was overlooked. If we do not see real damage, we say so and you save the claim for a storm that actually warrants one.

Most hail damage is not visible from the ground. Damage to shingle granulation, small chips, and dents on metal components are easy to miss without climbing the roof. A professional inspection is the only reliable way to confirm it.
In most cases yes, minus your deductible. The factor is whether the damage meets your carrier's threshold. Our inspection tells you that before you decide whether to file.
Wind and hail are weather-related claims, not at-fault, and generally do not raise premiums the way an at-fault claim does. Your carrier can confirm the specifics for your policy.
If we documented qualifying damage and the carrier denies it, we can support a re-inspection request. Adjusters work high volume after big storms and miss things that a roofing professional spots immediately.
No. You pick the contractor. Insurance pays the same scope regardless. The contractor you pick determines the quality of the work.
