Texas storms don’t play nice. If your roof isn’t prepped, you’re gambling with leaks, damage, and costly emergency repairs. Here’s how to know if your roof is storm-ready—or a ticking time bomb.
1. Spot the Red Flags Before the Storm Hits
Don’t wait for a downpour to discover your roof’s weak spots. Watch for:
-
Missing or cracked shingles – Even one can let water sneak in.
-
Sagging areas – A sign of structural damage or trapped moisture.
-
Granule loss in gutters – Worn-out shingles won’t last through a storm.
-
Water stains on ceilings – Past leaks mean future trouble.
Pro Tip: Schedule a free inspection now—before hail or high winds turn small issues into disasters.
2. Why “Quick Fixes” Fail When Storms Roll In
That DIY patch or cheap repair won’t hold up against Houston’s worst weather. Most storm-related roof failures happen because:
-
Flimsy materials buckle under wind or hail.
-
Improper sealing lets water seep in, rotting the structure.
-
Old roofs (10+ years) lack modern storm-resistant tech.
The Fix: Invest in impact-resistant shingles and professional installation—it’s cheaper than post-storm panic repairs.
3. The 3 Must-Have Storm-Proof Upgrades
Not all roofs are equal. Arm yours with:
-
Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles – Withstands hail and flying debris.
-
Reinforced Decking & Underlayment – Adds an extra moisture barrier.
-
Sealed Flashing & Vents – Prevents wind-driven rain leaks.
Bonus: These upgrades can lower insurance premiums—ask us how.
4. How to Pick a Roofer Who Won’t Leave You Stranded
After a storm, scammers swarm. Avoid sketchy contractors by choosing one with:
-
Local reputation (Check Google + BBB reviews).
-
Storm-damage expertise (Ask for before/after pics).
-
Written warranties (No vague promises).
