Storm & emergency
Storm and hail damage roof repair in Houston
Hail, straight-line wind, tropical systems and limb strikes. We tarp what is open, document what is damaged, and stand with you through the claim — across Houston, Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria and Galveston counties.
Houston gets every kind of roof weather there is. Spring brings hail out of the northwest, summer brings gust fronts that snap seal strips, and the tropics send us wind and rain that lasts for hours instead of minutes. Most of the roofs we replace did not fail from age — they failed because a storm started something and nobody looked at it in time.
Storm work has two halves. The first is the roof: stopping water today and putting it back the right way. The second is the paperwork: proving what happened, when it happened, and what it takes to restore your home to the condition it was in. We do both, and we do the second one in plain English so you always know where the claim stands.
Greg Aranda owns this company and answers the phone. That is the whole difference in storm season: you are not routed to a call center three states away that will be gone by the time the shingles are on.
What we repair
Four kinds of storm damage, four different fixes
Hail damage
Hail bruises the mat under the granules. From the street it looks fine; from the roof you see soft dark circles, exposed fiberglass and granules stacked at the downspout. Dented gutters, vent caps and AC fins are the giveaway that the stones were big enough to matter.
Wind and straight-line damage
Gust fronts break the seal strip that holds each shingle down. The tab may drop back into place and look normal while it is loose underneath, and the next rain drives water sideways under it. Creased tabs, missing ridge caps and lifted drip edge are what we look for.
Hurricane and tropical wind
Long-duration wind plus wind-driven rain is a different animal than a fifteen-minute hail core. Fasteners back out, decking flexes and water gets past underlayment at the eaves. Nailing pattern and underlayment choice decide whether a roof survives the next one.
Tree limbs and impact
A limb strike is the one case where we would rather you not wait for a schedule. Punctured decking lets water into insulation and drywall within hours, and an insurer expects you to take reasonable steps to stop the damage from spreading.
Storm damage self-check
Tick what you are seeing
This is the same list we run in our heads when we pull up to a house after a hail or wind event. It is not a substitute for getting on the roof, but it will tell you how fast you should be calling somebody.

What to do right after a storm
- 01
Stay off the roof
Wet or hail-bruised shingles are slick and a damaged deck can give way. Take pictures from the ground and from a window if you can do it safely.
- 02
Stop the water
Buckets under active drips, move furniture, and call us for a tarp. Emergency tarping is normally a covered part of a claim, and keeping receipts helps.
- 03
Date the storm
Your claim needs a date of loss. The NOAA storm reports and the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston office both publish what happened and when — links are further down this page.
- 04
Get it documented before you file
We walk the roof, photograph every hit, and give you the report whether or not you hire us. Filing with real evidence goes better than filing on a hunch.
- 05
Call your carrier — or let us walk you through it
Texas policies have deadlines. Our insurance claims page explains the sequence, and we can meet the adjuster on the roof with you.
- 06
Be careful who knocks
After a big event, out-of-state crews follow the storm. Ask anybody for a Texas address, a phone number that answers next year, and the manufacturer certification behind the warranty.
Once the water is stopped, the claim is the next job. Our insurance claims page walks through the whole sequence, and our financing page covers the deductible when the timing is tight.
Where we run storm calls
Storm repair by community
Every one of these pages covers what storms do to roofs in that specific area, the streets and ZIPs we work, and how to date a storm there using public weather records.
