Frequently asked questions
Usually, yes. Most Texas homeowner policies cover sudden storm and hail damage to your roof, minus your deductible — and Houston sits in an active hail corridor, so these claims are common. Coverage hinges on the damage being storm-related rather than ordinary wear, which is exactly what an inspection establishes: we document the damage with dated photos and work with your insurance company on your behalf so the claim reflects the true scope. Your own policy terms and deductible still apply, so check your declarations page for specifics.
It depends on your roof's size, pitch, and materials, so the honest answer is that you get an exact figure after a free measured inspection — not a number guessed from the driveway. As a reference point, a typical Houston roof replacement runs approximately $6,500 to $14,000 for architectural asphalt shingles; smaller roofs fall at the low end, while larger or more complex roofs and premium materials such as standing-seam metal sit higher, and isolated repairs cost far less. You get a written, itemized quote after we inspect — and if a storm caused the damage, an approved insurance claim may cover replacement minus your deductible.
Most Houston homes are finished in one to two days. A typical single-family asphalt-shingle replacement — tear-off, dry-in, and new roof — is usually a single day; larger two-story homes, steep or complex roofs, and metal systems can take longer. We confirm the exact timeline in your written estimate before any work starts, and on multi-day jobs the roof is weather-protected at the end of each day so your home stays covered.
It depends on three things: how widespread the damage is, how old the roof is, and whether the deck underneath is sound. A single localized problem on an otherwise healthy roof is usually a repair; widespread damage, repeated leaks, or a roof past its service life usually points to replacement. You can't tell for certain from the ground — a free inspection confirms it with photos.
Often you can't tell from the ground. Hail can bruise or fracture shingles, strip away protective granules, and dent flashing, vents, and gutters without causing an obvious leak right away. Signs worth checking: granules collecting in gutters, dented metal (gutters, vents, AC fins), and dark bruise marks on shingles. Because a bruised shingle can look fine and fail a year or two later, the reliable answer is a free roof inspection after any significant storm.
A free 21-point inspection: we check shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, and penetrations for storm and wear damage, look at the attic and decking where accessible for moisture or soft spots, and photograph everything we find. You get an honest verdict and a same-day written quote — no cost, no pressure, whether or not you file a claim.
