What should I do first after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Wet shingles on a damaged deck are how a bad week gets worse. Then work down this list.
- Photograph what you can see from the ground and from inside: shingles on the lawn, dents in the gutters, new stains on the ceiling.
- Catch any drips and move what can be ruined out from under them.

| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Shingle pieces on the lawn | Wind has torn tabs off. The felt underneath is now doing the roof's job |
| A dark patch on one slope | Shingles are missing and the underlayment is showing |
| Dents in gutters and downspouts | Hail hit the house, and the shingles took the same beating |
| Granules piled at the downspout | Hail or age has knocked the surface off the shingles |
| A raised line across a slope | Wind lifted a course and creased it. The seal is broken |
| A ceiling stain days later | Water found a way in and has been travelling since |

We answer Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm and Saturday 7am to noon. Tell us what you have seen from the ground.

Every slope gets checked, because the worst damage is often on the side that faces the wind.

Clean-up
Storm debris and old roofing leave with us, and the yard gets a magnet sweep.
What does Texas law say about storm claims?
Two things worth knowing before anyone knocks on your door after a storm.
First, the deductible is yours to pay. Since September 1, 2019, Texas Business & Commerce Code section 27.02 has made it an offense for a contractor to pay, waive or absorb an insurance deductible. A roofer who offers to cover it is offering to break the law with your name on the paperwork.
Second, Pearland is in Brazoria County, one of the coastal counties where the Texas Department of Insurance certifies building work for wind (the WPI-8 certificate). Not every repair needs an inspection. The department asks homeowners to check before work starts: 800-248-6032.
We can tell you what is damaged and what it takes to fix it. What your policy pays for is between you and your insurer.

Storm damage questions
Can you waive or cover my insurance deductible?
No. Texas Business & Commerce Code section 27.02 makes it an offense for a contractor to pay, waive or absorb an insurance deductible, and it has applied to contracts signed since September 1, 2019.
How soon should a roof be checked after a storm?
As soon as it is safe. Damage you cannot see from the ground, such as creased shingles and lifted flashing, lets water in over the following weeks, and insurance policies set deadlines for reporting a claim.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?
We answer calls Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm and Saturday 7am to noon. Outside those hours, send the order blank and we pick it up when we open.
Will you deal with my insurance company?
Our estimate describes the damage and the repair, and you can pass it to your insurer. What the policy covers is decided by your insurer, so that conversation stays between you and them.
Does hail damage always mean a new roof?
No. A few bruised shingles can be replaced. When hail has knocked granules off across whole slopes, the shingles age fast and a replacement is usually the better fix.

Estimates are free. Tell us what the house needs and we call you back during working hours, Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm and Saturday 7am to noon.

How big is my roof?
Roofing is priced by the square: 100 square feet of roof. Put in the footprint of the house and the pitch, and this works out the rest.
- Squares
- 20.5
- Square feet
- 2,050
- Shingle bundles
- 62
A guide for a simple roof: it adds a 1 ft overhang and 10% for cuts and waste (15% on a hip roof), at three bundles to the square. Dormers, valleys and porches add more. The estimate visit gets the real number.
