Common Types of Storm Damage
Hail Damage
Hail can bruise, crack, or weaken shingles—even when the damage isn’t visible from the ground. Signs include circular dents, granule loss, soft spots, cracked shingles, dented metal gutters, and impacted roof vents. Hail damage is one of the most common causes of long-term roof deterioration in North Texas.
Wind Damage
Strong wind can lift shingles, break seal strips, loosen ridge caps, and expose your roof to leaks. Look for creased shingles, missing shingles, or debris found on the ground around your home.
Water Damage
Heavy rain can reveal hidden roof issues. Interior warning signs include water stains, bubbling paint, ceiling spots, and moisture in the attic. Early detection reduces repair costs.
Tree & Debris Impact
Falling limbs can crack shingles, puncture decking, and bend flashing. Leave large debris in place until your inspection so documentation is accurate for your insurer.
