Houston Roofing Texas repairs storm and hurricane roof damage across Houston, TX. Tropical storms, hurricanes and sudden windstorms lift and tear shingles, peel flashing, drop tree limbs on roofs and push rain under roof edges. We secure the roof first, document the damage for your insurer and then make the permanent repair or replacement.
Storms that damage Houston roofs
- Hurricanes and tropical storms: hours of wind-driven rain and gusts, as Hurricane Harvey (2017) and Hurricane Beryl (2024) showed.
- Derechos and straight-line winds: like the May 2024 windstorm that damaged buildings and trees across the city.
- Spring and summer thunderstorms: sudden gusts, heavy rain and falling limbs.
- Rare hard freezes: such as Winter Storm Uri in 2021, which caused ice buildup and burst pipes in attics.
Signs of wind and storm damage
- Shingles missing, creased or lying in the yard
- Exposed underlayment or bare decking
- Lifted ridge caps and bent drip edge
- Flashing pulled away from walls or chimneys
- Tree limbs on the roof or holes in the decking
- New ceiling stains after the storm
Creased shingles are easy to miss. They look flat from the ground, but the seal has broken, so the next storm tears them off.
Our storm response
- Secure the roof. Emergency tarping or temporary seals to stop water. See emergency roof tarping.
- Remove debris. Limbs and loose material cleared from the roof.
- Document everything. Dated photos, measurements and a written damage report.
- Support your claim. We can meet your adjuster on the roof. See insurance claim help.
- Permanent fix. A targeted roof repair or full roof replacement, depending on the damage.
Building back stronger
A post-storm replacement is the right time to improve wind resistance: sealed starter strips along every edge, proper nailing patterns, ice and water barrier at vulnerable areas and secure ridge vents. Standing seam metal roofing is another option for homeowners who want strong wind performance.
Watch for storm chasers
After major storms, out-of-state crews knock on doors in Houston neighborhoods. Before you sign, confirm a local address, proof of insurance and a written contract. Texas law prohibits any roofer from waiving or paying your insurance deductible.
Where we repair storm damage
We respond across the city, including heavily wooded areas like Memorial and Spring Branch, and in Humble and Atascocita and Aldine.
Storm damage questions
How soon should I call after a storm?
Right away if water is coming in. Otherwise within a few days, because insurers expect prompt reporting and hidden damage worsens with each rain.
Does insurance cover hurricane roof damage?
Most Texas homeowner policies cover wind damage, often with a separate percentage-based wind or hurricane deductible. Check your policy for details.
Can you repair only the damaged section?
Often, yes. If damage is widespread or the roof was already old, replacement may make more sense.
