Texas Storm-Damage Roof Repair Guide

The 30-day post-storm timeline

First 72 hours: Walk your property from the ground (don't climb the roof — let a pro). Photograph soft-metal damage on AC fins, gutters, and mailbox — this is hail-confirmation evidence. Note the date and time of the storm so you can pull the NWS report later.

Days 3-7: Get a free pre-adjuster inspection from a licensed Texas roofer. We walk the roof, document damage, and tell you whether a claim is worth filing. (We've found that filing a frivolous claim raises premiums for years; missing a real one costs 30-50% of legitimate payout.)

Days 8-30: File the claim with your carrier. Have your roofer present when the adjuster comes — this single step catches 30-50% more damage than a homeowner walking alone. Once approved, we begin repair scheduling.

Red flags after a storm

• Door-to-door roofer right after the storm — likely a "storm chaser" from out of state. Look for a TX address + 5+ years of TX reviews.
• "We can waive your deductible" — illegal in Texas under HB 2102. Walk away. Any contractor offering this is committing insurance fraud and exposing you to liability.
• Same-day high-pressure contract — never sign on the first visit. Get 2 quotes. Real contractors will wait.
• Cash-only / no written estimate — hard pass.
• No license, no insurance certificate, no references — they don't exist.
