After a severe Texas storm, homeowners naturally look at the roof first. That’s important—but hail and high winds don’t stop at the shingles.
Storm damage can affect several components of a property’s exterior, and some problems aren’t immediately visible.
Start With the Roofing System
Missing or damaged shingles, compromised flashing, punctures, lifted materials, and leaks can allow moisture into the roofing system.
Even when water isn’t dripping from the ceiling, damage may still exist.
Look Beyond the Roof
Hail and wind can also damage siding, fascia, soffit, windows, gutters, exterior trim, and other building components.
That’s why evaluating the property as a complete exterior system can provide a much better picture of what happened during the storm.
Document Damage Early
If storm damage may involve an insurance claim, documenting the condition of the property and obtaining a professional assessment can help establish what repairs may be necessary.
A contractor can provide inspection findings, photographs, estimates, and construction information associated with the repair process. Coverage decisions ultimately remain with the property owner and insurance carrier.
Repair the Property, Not Just the Symptom
Addressing all affected areas helps protect the building from additional water intrusion and deterioration.
