Storm Damage & Your Roof

Storm Damage & Your Roof: What Homeowners Need to Know

March 6, 20250

Severe Texas storms can take a toll on your roof, and hail damage is one of the most common issues homeowners face in the Houston area.  Whether it’s minor repairs or a full roof replacement, knowing what to look for and how to navigate the insurance process can save you time and money. At Herring & Co. Renovation & Realty, we offer free roof inspections and expert guidance to help you make the best decision for your home.

Signs of Hail Damage

Not all hail damage is obvious, which is why a professional roof inspection is essential. Here’s what a roof inspector will look for:

✔ Dented gutters & downspouts – Small dents or cracks can indicate hail impact.
✔ Holes or cracks in the roof – Even small openings can lead to leaks over time.
✔ Loose, missing, or damaged flashing – Check around vents, chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys.
✔ Siding damage – Hail can dent or crack siding, leading to long-term issues.

Roof Repair vs. Replacement: What Are Your Options?

🔨 Repair: If the damage is minimal, replacing a few shingles may be enough to restore your roof.
🏠 Replacement: If hail damage is widespread, a full roof replacement may be necessary to protect your home from future leaks and structural issues.

What to Do After a Hailstorm

  1. Inspect Your Property – Look for visible damage to your roof, gutters, and siding.
  2. Schedule a Free Roof Inspection – A trusted roofing contractor like Herring & Co. Renovation & Realty can assess the damage and provide an expert opinion.

 

  1. Contact Your Insurance Company – If there’s damage, file a claim as soon as possible. Many homeowners insurance policies cover hail damage, but there may be a time limit for filing claims. Don’t worry, we will walk you through the insurance claim process.
