What the storm leaves
Why storm damage gets worse if it waits
Hail on roofs, siding and gutters
Hail cracks and bruises shingles, dents gutters and downspouts, and chips or splits siding. Some of it shows from the street. A lot of it only shows up close, from a ladder or on the roof itself.
Wind that lifts and peels
Strong wind lifts shingles, pulls flashing loose and peels siding and trim off the wall. A lifted shingle can settle back down and look fine from below until the next rain finds the gap.
The next rain gets inside
Once the roof or a wall is open, the next storm goes into the attic, the insulation, the ceiling and the framing. That is the moment a storm repair turns into a water job as well.
What you get back
A closed, dry house, the roof, siding and gutters put right with new material, and every step photographed for your insurance file.
Two areas, two kinds of storm
Hail in Dallas–Fort Worth, wind and rain in the Bay Area
Dallas–Fort Worth: hail first
When hail comes through North Texas it lands on the roof, the siding and the gutters before anything else. We walk every slope and every side of the house, and check the downspouts, window screens, vents and the soft metal that holds a dent long after the ice has melted.
Bay Area: wind and long rain
A Bay Area storm is wind and hours of heavy rain. Water looks for the weak places: worn flashing, an old roof valley, a tired window seal, a low spot by the foundation. Storm and flood water inside the house is part of our water work, so the drying starts on the same call.
What the work covers
What does storm damage repair include?
Storm repair is outside work and inside work on one file. Depending on what the storm reached, it is some or all of these.
Tarping and board-up
A tarp over the open roof and boards over a broken window or door, so no more water gets in and the house stays closed until the repair. The damage is photographed before anything goes up.
Roof repair
Cracked, bruised or missing shingles, torn flashing and soaked underlayment replaced. Roofing is part of our construction work.
Siding
Split, cracked or torn siding replaced and sealed so the wall behind it stays dry.
Gutters and downspouts
Dented, torn or pulled-off runs replaced or hung again, so rain is carried away from the walls and the foundation instead of down them.
Windows and doors
Glass, frames and doors the storm broke, replaced once the opening has been boarded and the house is safe.
Water that got inside
Storm and flood water removed, the structure dried and checked with moisture readings. Wet insulation, drywall and ceilings that cannot be dried come out and are rebuilt with new material.
How it goes
How a storm repair goes, from the first call
Call
A person answers (281) 671-7777, 24/7, storm or no storm.
Make it safe
Photos first, then the tarp and the boards, so the house stops taking water and the damage stays on record as the storm left it.
Document
Roof, siding, gutters and the rooms below, with a camera, a tape and a moisture meter, then the itemized estimate.
Dry, then repair
Water inside is dried first. Then the roof, siding, gutters and rooms are put back with new material.
The first consultation and quote are free.
The record of the storm
How is storm and hail damage recorded for the insurance claim?
Each damaged slope, wall and gutter run is photographed before anything is covered or removed, then measured, with moisture readings taken inside wherever water came in. All of it goes into an itemized estimate in Xactimate that we send to your adjuster. We are the repair contractor, never the adjuster: we answer questions about our scope, and the claim stays between you and your insurer.
Before and after the tarp
The damage is photographed as the storm left it, then again with the temporary cover in place, so both are in the file.
Wide and close
A wide photo shows where on the house it is. A close one shows the crack, the dent or the lifted edge, next to a tape.
Inside, with readings
Where rain got in, moisture readings show how far it spread through the ceiling and walls, and later that the structure is dry.
Cost and planning
What sets the cost of a storm repair?
How far the storm reached
A few shingles and one gutter run is a small job. A full slope, two walls of siding and a wet bedroom ceiling is a bigger one. The estimate follows what we find on the house.
Your deductible
For the covered repair you pay only your deductible, and your insurer pays us the rest directly. Whether the damage is covered is your insurer's call. We never waive, cover or rebate a deductible; in Texas, offering to is against the law (Texas Department of Insurance).
Upgrades you choose
If you pick a different roof, siding or gutter than the one the storm damaged, that part is priced separately from the covered repair.
The first consultation and quote are free. Our work comes with a written warranty, its terms set in your contract, and financing is available through our lending partner.
The days after a storm
What to do before anyone repairs the house
Take your own photos
From the ground, with the date on them: the roof you can see, the siding, the gutters, any ceiling stain. They help whoever repairs it, and they help you.
Keep the water away from what you own
Move furniture and boxes out of the drip, and put a bucket under it if that is safe. Stay off the roof.
Take your time with door knockers
After big storms, contractors go door to door. The Texas Department of Insurance publishes the signs of a contractor scam to look for before you sign anything.

Questions
What people ask about storm and hail repair
A storm damaged my roof and water is coming in. What do I do first?
Call us at (281) 671-7777; a person answers 24/7. If it is safe, move your things away from the water and take a few photos. We come out, photograph the damage, tarp the roof or board the opening so no more water gets in, and start removing and drying the water inside.
Can you tarp the roof or board up a window before the adjuster comes out?
Yes. Board-up and tarping are part of our work, and they keep the storm from doing more damage while you wait. We photograph the damage as the storm left it before the tarp or boards go up, so the record your adjuster sees still shows it.
How do you document hail damage on the roof, siding and gutters?
We photograph each damaged slope, wall and gutter run, wide and up close, measure it, and write an itemized estimate in Xactimate, the industry's standard estimating format. We send that estimate to your adjuster and answer their questions about our scope. Whether the damage is covered stays between you and your insurer.
Do you fix the inside of the house too, or only the roof?
The inside too. Storm and flood water is part of our water work: we remove it, dry the structure until the moisture readings say dry, and rebuild the ceilings, insulation, drywall and floors that had to come out. Restoration to rebuild is one call.
Is the first look at storm damage free?
Yes. The first consultation and quote are free, for a storm repair the same as for any other restoration or remodeling job.
