Separate storm observations from the work proposed
Houston storms can loosen shingles, damage metal, compromise flashing, and create openings that are difficult to see from the ground. We document visible conditions and explain practical next steps.
Fast-moving storms can combine hail, gusts, debris, and wind-driven rain, creating failures that may not be visible from the ground.
A record of the affected areas
Share when you first noticed the problem, photographs taken safely from the ground and any earlier roof repairs. The inspection should identify the areas actually observed.
Temporary protection
If the roof is exposed, discuss what can be protected under current conditions and the limits of that temporary work. Confirm availability directly when you call.
The permanent scope
Ask which materials need repair or replacement, how the work ties into the surrounding roof and what remains to be assessed once damaged material is removed.
Start with what the roof inspection can establish
A post-storm roofing estimate should explain the observed damage and proposed work. Keep the inspection photos, written scope and any temporary-protection records together so you can refer to the same information as the project moves forward.

Questions property owners ask
Can you tell whether hail damaged my roof?
A qualified inspection can identify visible impact patterns and related damage. Coverage decisions remain with your insurance carrier and policy.
Should I get on the roof after a storm?
No. Wet, loose, or damaged roofing is dangerous. Use a professional inspection instead of climbing onto the roof yourself.
What warranty applies to this work?
Coverage depends on the product and service. Ten-year coverage may apply to your project; the written proposal should specify the exact term, exclusions and whether the coverage is for materials or workmanship. Confirm those details for the scope you choose.
