North Texas sits squarely in “hail alley,” and every spring storm season brings the risk of roof damage. A little preparation now can save you a major headache — and a big repair bill — later. Here is how to get your roof ready.
1. Start with a professional inspection
Much hail and wind damage is invisible from the ground. A professional roof and attic inspection catches worn shingles, weak flashing, and small problems before a storm turns them into leaks. Ideally, schedule one before peak season.
2. Clear gutters and trim branches
Clogged gutters back water up under your shingles, and overhanging branches become projectiles in high wind. Clean your gutters and trim limbs away from the roofline.
3. Know your policy before the storm
Review your homeowner’s policy so you understand your deductible and whether it covers replacement cost or actual cash value. Knowing this in advance makes the claim process far less stressful.
4. After a storm, act quickly
If hail or high wind rolls through, have your roof inspected promptly — Texas claims often have filing deadlines. We document hail damage and storm damage thoroughly and handle the insurance paperwork for you.
5. Keep an emergency number handy
If a storm causes an active leak, fast tarping prevents interior damage. Save our 24/7 line: (469) 667-0176.
