Storm Damage Repairs in Texas: When the Sky Clears, We’re Just Getting Started
You know that sound. That specific, hollow thud of hail hitting your roof that makes your stomach drop. Or the way the wind howls during a spring thunderstorm, rattling the windows in their frames until you’re not sure if they’re going to hold.
Living in Texas means living with weather that doesn’t just knock on the door—it tries to kick it down.
And then comes the morning after. The storm has passed, the sun is out, and everything looks… mostly okay. Maybe there are a few leaves in the driveway or a branch down in the yard. You breathe a sigh of relief. You think, “We dodged a bullet.”
But here’s the tricky part about Texas storms: the damage isn’t always screaming at you from the front lawn. It’s often hiding. It’s the shingle that lifted just enough to break the seal but laid back down. It’s the micro-cracks in your window beading. It’s the bruise on the asphalt shingle that you can’t see from the driveway but that has already started a slow-motion failure of your roof system.
It’s an uneasy feeling, isn’t it? Knowing your biggest investment took a beating, but not knowing exactly how bad it is. You’re worried about leaks, you’re dreading the insurance call, and honestly, you just want your home to be safe again.
At Tekton Exteriors, we specialize in Storm Damage Repairs in Texas because we know that “waiting and seeing” is the most expensive strategy you can have. We’re here to take the guesswork out of the aftermath and help you restore your home’s armor.
The High Cost of "It Looks Fine to Me"
I’ve stood on hundreds of roofs across this state, from the coast to the hill country, and the story is often the same. A homeowner calls us six months after a storm because they have a water spot on their ceiling. They didn’t call earlier because, from the ground, the roof looked perfect.
But up close? It’s a different story.
In Texas, we deal with a brutal combination: violent storms followed by intense, baking heat. When a storm compromises your home’s exterior—even slightly—that heat goes to work.
Think about it this way. A hailstone hits your roof. It doesn’t punch a hole; it just knocks the granules off the shingle. Those granules are the sunscreen for the asphalt. Without them, the UV rays cook the asphalt until it becomes brittle and cracks. Then comes the next rain. Water seeps into that crack, gets under the shingle, and starts rotting the decking.
By the time you see the water stain on your drywall, you aren’t looking at a simple patch job. You’re looking at replacing insulation, decking, and sheetrock.
And here is the other risk of waiting: The Insurance Clock.
Most insurance policies in Texas have a statute of limitations for filing a storm claim. If you wait too long to get an inspection, your insurance carrier can deny the claim, arguing that the damage is now due to “neglect” or “wear and tear” rather than the specific storm date. You paid your premiums for years—don’t let a technicality stop you from getting the coverage you deserve.
How We Restore Your Home (Without the Headache)
We know that dealing with contractors and insurance adjusters is probably the last thing you want to do. It feels overwhelming. You hear horror stories about storm chasers who take the money and run.
We operate differently. We aren’t here to scare you into a repair you don’t need; we’re here to give you the forensic evidence of what your home actually requires.
Here is our step-by-step process for bringing your home back to 100%:
The Triage: If you have active leaks or a hole in the roof, we stop the bleeding immediately. We provide storm damage emergency repairs like tarping and boarding up to secure the property so no further damage happens while we figure out the next steps.
The Forensic Inspection: We treat your home like a crime scene. We inspect the roof, sure, but we also check the soft metals (gutters, vents), the window screens, the AC condenser fins, and the fence. We look for the “collateral damage” that proves a storm event occurred.
The Documentation: We take high-resolution photos of everything. We pull weather reports to pinpoint the exact date and severity of the storm. We build a case file that makes it very hard for an insurance adjuster to say “no.”
The Insurance Advocacy: We meet the adjuster at your property. We walk the roof with them. We point out the damage they might miss if they’re rushing. We ensure they see the full scope of the work needed. If you need help navigating insurance claim assistance, we are in your corner.
The Restoration: Once the scope is approved, our crews get to work. We don’t just put it back the way it was; we often upgrade it. We install to current codes, ensuring better wind resistance and waterproofing than your original builder-grade exterior likely had.
Real Results: Turning a Disaster into an Upgrade
It sounds strange to say, but a storm can actually be an opportunity.
Most homes in Texas are built with “standard” materials. Standard 3-tab shingles, standard vinyl siding, standard aluminum windows. These materials are fine for a while, but they aren’t built for the extreme weather we are seeing these days.
When we handle your storm damage repairs, we often have the chance to upgrade your home’s defenses. Since the insurance company is paying for the replacement cost of the old roof, you can often upgrade to a Class 4 Impact Resistant shingle or a better wind-rated system for just the cost of your deductible plus a small difference.
Here are the benefits our clients see after a professional restoration:
Insurance Premium Discounts: Many insurance carriers offer significant discounts (sometimes up to 20-30%) if you install a Class 4 Impact Resistant roof.
Better Energy Efficiency: If we are doing a full roof replacement, we can improve your attic ventilation. This lowers the temperature in your attic, which helps your AC run less in August.
Resale Value: A brand new, warrantied exterior is a massive selling point. It tells buyers, “This home is safe.”
Peace of Mind: There is a specific kind of sleep you get when you know your roof is sealed, your windows are tight, and your siding is secure. You stop dreading the weather forecast.
Don't Let the Storm Win
Your home has taken a beating, but it’s still standing. That’s a win. Now it just needs a little help to get back to fighting weight.
Don’t wait for the next rainstorm to find out if your roof is leaking. Don’t wait until the insurance deadline passes. Let us give you an honest, professional assessment. If there’s no damage, we’ll shake your hand and give you peace of mind. If there is, we’ll help you fight for the restoration you deserve.
