Protection After the Storm
Understand the Condition of Your Roof After Severe Weather
Houston storms can expose residential roofs to hail, strong winds, heavy rain, and falling debris. Some damage is visible from the ground, while other conditions require a closer professional evaluation.
Longhorn Windows & Roofing provides free storm-damage roof inspections throughout the Greater Houston area. Our team evaluates the roof for visible signs of wind and hail damage, photographs relevant conditions, and provides an estimate explaining the proposed replacement scope.
When replacement is needed, we help homeowners understand the next steps and provide a complete asphalt shingle roofing solution designed for their home and selected level of weather protection.
The Longhorn Difference
A Roofing Experience Built Around the Homeowner
Replacing a roof is a major decision. Longhorn Windows & Roofing makes the process easier with straightforward guidance, clear communication, and attentive support from the first conversation through project completion.
We are residential by design, focusing exclusively on asphalt shingle roof replacement for homes. That specialized approach allows us to better understand homeowner concerns, explain available options clearly, and help customers make confident decisions without unnecessary pressure.
Respectful Service From Start to Finish
A successful roof replacement involves more than quality materials. It also requires careful planning, dependable communication, and respect for the home and surrounding property.
Our team works to minimize disruption, keeps homeowners informed, and extends courtesy to nearby neighbors during installation. Once the project is complete, your Longhorn representative conducts a final walkthrough, answers remaining questions, and confirms your satisfaction.
From inspection through completion, our goal is to provide a professional, organized, and homeowner-focused roofing experience.
Signs Your Roof May Have Storm Damage
Storm damage is not always immediately obvious. Missing shingles may be easy to see, but hail impacts, lifted shingles, granule loss, and other damage can be difficult to identify safely from the ground.
Common warning signs include:
Missing, lifted, creased, or damaged shingles
Visible hail impacts
Significant granule loss
Exposed roofing materials
Leaks following heavy rain
Water stains on ceilings or walls
Fallen branches or other roof debris
Changes in the roof’s appearance after a storm
Homeowners should avoid climbing onto the roof themselves. A free professional inspection can help document visible conditions and determine whether complete replacement should be considered.
Not every severe-weather event results in the same level of roof damage. Longhorn begins with a free inspection, photographs visible wind or hail damage, and provides an estimate outlining the recommended replacement work.
When a homeowner decides to move forward with an insurance claim, Longhorn can gather the relevant insurance information, help facilitate the claim, and meet the adjuster onsite to demonstrate visible replacement needs.
The insurance provider determines coverage and claim approval. When a replacement is approved, the homeowner is responsible for the applicable deductible and any selected work or upgrades not included in the insurance scope.
Choose the Right Roofing Protection After a Storm
When replacement is approved or selected, Longhorn Windows & Roofing installs a complete residential asphalt shingle roofing system using synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield in roof valleys. Damaged roof decking can be replaced with new OSB panels where needed.
Longhorn’s standard shingle option is rated for hail impacts of approximately 1½ inches. Homeowners may also choose an available upgrade rated for approximately 2½-inch hail and hurricane-force winds, or select a separate impact-resistant shingle option.
The 2½-inch hail-rated upgrade and the impact-resistant option are different product categories. Our team explains the available choices so homeowners can compare cost, appearance, and performance before selecting their new roofing system.
