Signs of wind damage on your roof

Wind damage is not always obvious from the ground. After a storm, look for:
  • Missing, lifted, or creased shingles, or shingles that look bent along a horizontal line
  • Shingle granules collecting in gutters and downspouts
  • Torn, lifted, or missing flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys
  • Exposed underlayment, felt, or bare decking where shingles blew off
  • Loose or displaced ridge caps along the peak of the roof
  • Debris impact marks, or tree limbs and branches on the roof
  • New ceiling stains, drips, or leaks after a windy storm

What high winds do to an Austin roof

Strong gusts get under the edge of a shingle, break the adhesive seal, and lift or crease it. A creased shingle often looks fine from the driveway but no longer sheds water the way it should, so it leaks weeks or months later. Wind also loosens ridge caps, tears flashing away from walls and chimneys, and drives debris that punctures the surface. That is why a professional inspection matters after any significant wind event, even when the roof looks intact from the ground.

Wind damage and your homeowners insurance

Wind and storm damage is a covered peril on most Texas homeowners policies, which means a wind damaged roof is often paid largely by insurance and you may only owe your deductible. We photograph and document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and manage the claim so the scope is complete and fair. Learn more about our storm damage and insurance claim assistance.

How we handle a wind damage roof repair

1

Free wind damage inspection.

We get on the roof, find every lifted shingle and torn detail, and photograph it, not just the spot over the ceiling stain.
2

Emergency tarp if needed.

If wind opened the roof and rain is a risk, we can tarp to stop water on the same visit.
3

Insurance documentation.

We prepare the photo evidence and meet your adjuster so the claim reflects the real damage.
4

Repair or replace, honestly.

Isolated damage gets a targeted repair. Widespread wind damage across the field gets a full replacement, and we tell you which with real figures in front of you.
5

Final check and cleanup.

We confirm the roof is watertight, then magnet-sweep the yard for nails and debris.

ABOUT Wind damage roof repair

Get to know your roof better with Driftwood Builders Roofing

Roofing 101
Is wind damage to my roof covered by insurance?
Usually yes. Wind is a covered peril on most Texas homeowners policies, so a wind damaged roof is often paid largely by insurance and you may only owe your deductible. We document the damage and handle the claim from inspection to final invoice.
Look for missing, lifted, or creased shingles, granules in the gutters, torn flashing, exposed underlayment, displaced ridge caps, and any new ceiling stains after a storm. Creased shingles can look fine from the ground but still leak, so a free professional inspection is the safest way to know.
Gusts of 45 to 55 mph can start lifting and creasing shingles, and Central Texas thunderstorms regularly exceed that. Older roofs and roofs with weakened seals are damaged at lower speeds, which is why an inspection after a strong storm is worthwhile even if nothing looks wrong.
Yes. When wind opens the roof and rain is a risk, we come out fast and can tarp to stop water on the same visit, then schedule the permanent repair. We are based in Manchaca and serve the greater Austin area.
It depends on how widespread the damage is, but when the cause is a covered storm, your out of pocket is often just your insurance deductible. We give you a clear written estimate and, where it applies, put the repair and replacement numbers side by side so you can decide.
