Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof?
First, stay safe and don't climb on the roof yourself. If you see active leaking, contain the water inside with buckets and move valuables. Then call us at (512) 479-0510 — we'll prioritize your inspection and help prevent further damage.
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Look for missing or displaced shingles, dents in gutters or vents, granule buildup in downspouts, and water stains on ceilings. Many types of storm damage aren't visible from the ground — that's why we offer free inspections after every major storm.
How quickly can you respond after a storm?
Response times vary depending on the severity and scope of the storm. We prioritize storm damage inspections and work to schedule yours as quickly as possible.
What types of storms cause the most roof damage in Austin?
Austin roofs face threats from hail storms, high winds, heavy rain, and occasional tornadoes. Wind can lift and tear shingles, hail creates impact damage, and heavy rain exploits any existing vulnerabilities. Each type requires a different repair approach.
How long after water damage can you claim on insurance?
In Texas, most policies require claims within one to two years of the damage event. We recommend filing as soon as possible — prompt documentation tied to a specific storm makes the process significantly smoother.
