Roof damage is stressful—but acting too fast (or too slow) can cost you thousands. Here’s what most Houston homeowners get wrong… and how to fix it.
1. Ignoring the Damage (Until It’s Too Late)
-
A small leak today can mean rotted framing tomorrow.
-
Storm damage worsens with rain, wind, and heat—delaying repairs doubles costs.
-
Smart Move: Schedule a free inspection ASAP to assess hidden risks.
2. Choosing the Cheapest Contractor
-
Scammers target storm victims with “too-good-to-be-true” pricing.
-
Low bids often mean cut corners, subpar materials, or insurance fraud.
-
Smart Move: Pick a local, reputable roofer (like Hart Roofing) with verified reviews and warranties.
3. Not Documenting the Damage Properly
-
Without photos/videos, insurance may deny your claim.
-
Missing details = lower payouts for repairs.
-
Smart Move: Create a damage report (date, photos, notes) before cleaning up.
4. Skipping the Insurance Claim Process
-
Many assume minor damage isn’t worth a claim—but hidden structural issues often lurk.
-
Texas storms qualify for covered repairs (if filed correctly).
-
Smart Move: Call your insurer first, then a trusted roofer to help navigate the claim.
5. Overlooking Long-Term Protection
-
A quick patch job won’t prevent future storms from causing the same damage.
-
Upgraded materials (impact-resistant shingles, reinforced underlayment) save money long-term.
-
Smart Move: Invest in storm-proof roofing—Hart Roofing’s solutions withstand Houston’s toughest weather.
