After a storm, a roof can look fine from the street and still have problems: lifted shingle tabs, cracked flashing, dented vents or bruised material that has not leaked yet. Storm damage repair starts with a careful inspection and documentation, then moves to repairs that match what the storm actually did.
In short: after any severe storm in the Dallas area, have the roof looked at even if nothing is leaking yet. Storm damage repair is the whole-event response, covering inspection and documentation first, then repair of whatever the wind, hail and driven rain have done, from lifted shingles and dented vents to damaged flashing.

Storm damage and the insurance process
Many storm repairs involve an insurance claim, and the usual order of things is to make the property safe first, document the damage, and let the insurer assess it before permanent work begins. Our part in that process is the roof itself: we inspect it, photograph what the storm has done and give you a written description of the condition we find, which you can pass straight to your insurer.
To be clear about roles: we are roofers, not public adjusters. We document the roof's condition and carry out the repair work; the claim itself is handled between you and your insurer, and the decision on what your policy covers is theirs to make. If an adjuster needs to see the roof before repairs go ahead, we can coordinate timing so that nothing is covered up before they have had the chance to look at it.
What to know in North Texas
North Texas sits in an area known for severe thunderstorms, hail and straight-line winds, so storm damage is a regular part of owning a roof here. Insurance policies in Texas often carry a separate wind and hail deductible, so it is worth reading yours before deciding whether a claim makes sense.

Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQs
Do you help with insurance claims?
We can document the damage and provide a written description of what we find. The claim itself is between you and your insurance company, and your policy terms decide what is covered.
How soon should I get the roof checked after a storm?
As soon as it is safe. Small openings let water in during the next rain, and claim deadlines can apply, so a prompt inspection protects both the building and your options.
What should I do in the first day or two after a storm?
Once it is safe to go outside, walk around the building at ground level and photograph anything you can see: shingles in the yard, dented gutters, debris on the roof. Check ceilings and the attic for new damp patches, and move belongings away from anywhere water might come through. Do not climb on the roof yourself. Then call us for a free inspection so the damage is recorded while it is fresh.
Can storm damage stay hidden even when the roof is not leaking?
Yes. A storm can break shingle seals, crease tabs and crack flashing without opening an obvious hole, and the roof may not leak until a later rain drives water into the weakened spot. That is why a dry ceiling after a storm is not proof that the roof came through unharmed, and why an inspection looks at seals, edges and flashing as well as the surface.
Does storm damage always mean a new roof?
No. Where the damage is localised, such as one slope with lifted shingles and a damaged vent, a repair is usually the sensible answer. Replacement only comes into it when damage is spread across the roof or the roof was already near the end of its life. After the inspection we explain which applies to your roof and why, in writing, before any work is agreed.
