STORM DAMAGE ROOF REPAIR

Understanding Storm Damage to Homes in Texas

Severe weather, with hailstorms, high winds, and intense thunderstorms, are very common in our area of Central Texas, and they pose significant risks to your home’s roof and its security. Damage from storms will adversely affect the performance of your home’s roofing systems, and probably lead to more extensive, and expensive, damage later. As a trusted roofing company in the Austin area, we have seen all kinds of storm damage, and are experts in evaluation and estimating storm damage roof repairs. We specialize in comprehensive, professional storm damage inspections and estimates.

The Impact of Hailstorm Damage in Central Texas

Immediate Risks of Unaddressed Roof Storm Damage

When severe weather hits your home, there’s always a possibility that your roof sustains damage, and sometimes you don’t even know it. If damage occurs, time becomes a critical factor to keep your home protected. Whether a minor fix or a complete roof replacement is needed, delaying roof repairs can lead to a series of issues that extend far beyond the initial damage. Roof damage can cause water infiltration that damages interior spaces, compromises the structural integrity of your home, and leads to increased energy costs. Addressing roof issues immediately is critical to keeping your home’s roof doing its job.

Long-Term Effects of Neglected Roof Storm Damage

Sometimes, a storm can damage a residential roof but the effects are not immediately evident. A hailstorm could degrade the surface of roofing materials but not cause leaks right away. When that affected roofing material is hit with the next storm, greater damage could occur. After any significant hail, wind, or hailstorms in tour area, we highly recommend a professional roof inspection, even if you don’t see any obvious roof damage. Catching damage early is always the least expensive option!

The Storm Damage Roof Repair Process

 Professional Roof Inspection

The first step in getting your home’s roof back into top shape is a thorough and professional roofing system inspection. A roof inspection is only as good as the inspector, so getting a trusted and seasoned roofing professional to give you advice is critical. Not all hail damage roofing companies and storm damage roof contractors are the same. Make sure you are working with a reputable local roofing contractor, who will give you a complete written evaluation of your home’s entire roofing system including the roofing deck and materials, the gutters and water drainage system, and any soffits or siding that could be affected. Your home’s roofing system is more than just shingles!

Navigating Insurance Claims for Roof Storm Damage

Once roof damage has been detected and evaluated, contacting your homeowner insurance company to check coverage and benefits is the next step. Understanding the insurance claim process can be overwhelming, which is why we work with you and your insurer to provide comprehensive guidance. It’s important that you know what roof damage roof repairs or storm damage repairs are needed and covered by your insurer. We assist you through each step, with our professional written evaluation, damage documentation, and accurate and complete repair cost estimates. We maintain direct communication with insurance adjusters to simplify the entire process and ensure that you receive all the benefits and repairs you are entitled to.

Roof Repair or Replacement

When you have the approved insurance damage repair claim from your insurer, and estimates from roofing contractors (we recommend getting 2 or 3 for comparison), then it’s time to pick a roofer and get the repairs completed as soon as possible. We recommend that you understand the entire repair process the roofer will use, and ask any questions before they begin so there are no surprises once work has started.

Common Types of Storm Damage

Hailstorm Damage Repair

We get some large hailstones in storms in our area, but even small ones can cause significant and often invisible damage, so hail damage roof repair is often needed. Our experienced roofing crews will identify subtle signs of damage, including granule loss on shingles, cracked or bruised shingles, and potentially hidden punctures in roofing materials and make sure they are addressed and corrected. Neglected or missed damage from hail can lead to bigger issues. We’ll make sure all hailstorm damage is repaired correctly and promptly.

Wind Damage Repairs

High winds can be deceptive and negatively affect the integrity of your home’s roof. Severe winds can damage all parts of the roofing system including:

• Shingles
• Underlayment
• Roof Decking
• Flashing
• Roof Vents
• Drip edges
• Ice and Water Shields
• Ridge Caps
• Gutters

Our team understands how wind degrade those components and compromise the roof’s job of protecting your home. Any and all damage to your home’s roof from high winds should be addressed as quickly as possible. We approach each wind damage scenario with precision and expertise.

Roof Repair or Complete Home Roof Replacement?

When to Repair Your Roof 

If your home’s roof is relatively new, or mostly in good shape, then a simple repair might be the optimal choice when storm damage is localized. The repair costs are significantly lower than a full replacement. We highly recommend that you have the damage evaluated by a trusted professional roofing contractor. Our experts will provide honest, transparent recommendations based on a thorough assessment.

When to Replace Your Roof

If your home’s roof is 10 years old or more and showing signs of age, some limited storm damage on top of that may indicate that it’s a wise choice to go ahead and replace the entire roof. Of course, your insurance coverage may come into play as well so contacting your insurer and having their adjuster evaluate it is a must. If they decide there is enough damage to warrant a full roof replacement, it’s probably time to get it done before any further damage can occur. Again, we recommend that you have one or more trusted and professional roofing contractors do an assessment and give you their advice and estimates as well.
