What Storm Damage Repair Involves
Storm damage repair starts with a rapid response. Within hours of a hail or wind event, our crew arrives to inspect the roof deck, flashing, and gutters. Active leaks get emergency tarping with reinforced polyethylene secured by ring-shank nails — not staples. That tarp holds until permanent repair begins.
The repair itself depends on damage severity. For hail strikes, we replace damaged shingles, reset displaced field courses, and reseal exposed fasteners. For wind damage, we reattach lifted shingles, replace torn flashing, and hand-seal any loose laps. Where water has wicked into the decking, we tear off the affected area, cut out rot or decay, and install replacement decking before laying self-adhered ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys.
We use insurance-approved materials: GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration shingles, both rated for 130 mph winds. Every repair follows manufacturer specifications for nail placement, starter course alignment, and staggered courses. A proper repair is invisible from the street — it blends with the existing roof and carries the same warranty as a full replacement.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair
Dallas hail storms in spring can leave damage you won't see from the ground. Granules in your gutters, for example, mean the protective coating has eroded off the shingle surface. That exposes the asphalt mat to UV, accelerating end-of-life wear. Curling or flaking shingle edges, cracked or split tabs, and dents on metal vents or flashing all point to hail impact.
After a wind event, check for missing shingle sections, lifted corners, or exposed fasteners. Inside, look for water stains on ceilings or in the attic — that means water has already seeped through the decking. A sagging roofline or daylight through the attic boards is a structural red flag. If you see any of these, call us immediately. The longer water sits, the more it wicks along the decking, rotting rafters and ruining insulation.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Our process moves from emergency to permanent repair in three phases.
Phase 1: Rapid Response. You call 214-286-5623. We dispatch a crew within 24 hours — often same-day. We tarp exposed areas, board up broken windows, and document the scene with photos and notes for your insurance claim.
Phase 2: Xactimate Documentation. We use Xactimate, the same estimating software your adjuster uses, to line-item every damaged component. That includes shingle counts, flashing, decking, drip edge, and disposal fees. We coordinate directly with your adjuster so nothing is missed.
Phase 3: Permanent Repair. Once the claim is approved, we schedule the repair. For partial repairs, we match shingle color and blend new courses with old. For full replacements, we tear off the old roof, inspect the deck, install ice-and-water shield, and nail down each course with ring-shank nails at the manufacturer's specified pattern. We finish with a magnetic nail sweep of your yard — no stray nails in your driveway.
Cost Considerations in Dallas
Storm damage repair costs vary by extent and materials. A partial repair on a typical 2,000-square-foot home runs $1,500 to $4,500, depending on how many shingles and how much decking need replacement. A full roof replacement on the same home runs $8,000 to $15,000 — that's $400 to $750 per square (100 square feet) for architectural shingles. GAF and Owens Corning products are in that range.
Your insurance usually covers storm damage, minus your deductible. We provide an itemized estimate that matches Xactimate, so you know exactly what the claim covers. If you haven't filed yet, we'll help you document the damage and talk to your adjuster. No surprises.
Warranty & Insurance
We register every repair with the manufacturer. GAF's Golden Pledge warranty covers 50 years on shingles and 25 years on workmanship — transferable if you sell your home. Owens Corning's warranty offers similar coverage. That's your protection against future leaks from installation defects.
For insurance, we handle the entire claim process. We meet your adjuster on-site, point out every damaged area, and provide Xactimate documentation that supports your claim. If the adjuster disagrees, we push back with evidence. We've done this hundreds of times in Dallas County — we know what carriers look for and what they try to deny.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair
Active Leak During Storm
Water dripping from your ceiling or pooling in the attic means the roof deck is already breached. Emergency tarping stops further damage while we plan the repair.
Missing Shingle Sections
High winds can peel entire courses off your roof, exposing the deck to rain. If you see bare spots or shingles in the yard, call for tarping immediately.
Tree Impact
A fallen branch can puncture the deck and crack rafters. Even a small limb can cause hidden structural damage that worsens over time.
Hail Strike Marks
Dallas spring hail leaves bruise-like dimples on shingles, breaking the granules and exposing the mat. These spots erode quickly under summer UV.
Sudden Interior Staining
A dark water spot on your ceiling that wasn't there yesterday means water is wicking through the decking and insulation. Act fast to prevent rot.
Flashing Pulled Away
Storm winds can lift flashing at chimneys, vents, and valleys, opening gaps for water to seep behind shingles. This often goes unnoticed until rot sets in.
