Storm & Wind Damage Repair
Straight-line wind lifts tabs, peels ridge caps and drops live oak limbs onto decking. We cover what is open the same day where we can, then come back to repair it properly.
The job, explained
Storms in San Antonio and the surrounding areas can bring significant challenges to your roofing system. High winds can lift and tear shingles, while hail can create impact damage that compromises your roof's integrity. Even small damage points can lead to serious leaks and interior water damage if not addressed promptly. We understand the urgency homeowners face after a storm and are prepared to respond quickly.
Our repair services are designed to restore your roof to its pre-storm condition, ensuring lasting protection for your property. We are experienced in identifying both obvious and hidden storm damage, which is crucial for a thorough repair. From minor shingle replacement to more extensive structural fixes, our goal is to provide reliable and durable solutions that safeguard your home against future weather events.
Why it matters in South Texas
Homes in San Antonio and the Hill Country edge face specific roofing challenges due to regional weather. Spring brings severe hailstorms, similar to the major event in April 2016, causing widespread roof damage. The long, hot summers with intense UV exposure can accelerate shingle aging and dry out sealants, making roofs more susceptible to storm damage. Occasional hard freezes, like in February 2021, can also exacerbate existing vulnerabilities. Large trees common in older neighborhoods and along the Hill Country can drop limbs during high winds, further damaging roofs and filling gutters. Understanding these local factors is key to effective and lasting storm damage repair.

Composition Shingle Repair
We repair or replace damaged asphalt shingles, matching existing colors and styles where possible. We can also install impact-resistant Class 4 shingles, which may offer insurance benefits in Texas.
Tile Roof Restoration
For concrete or clay tile roofs common in areas like Stone Oak, we carefully replace broken or dislodged tiles, ensuring proper sealing and alignment to maintain their aesthetic and protective qualities.
