Houston Storm Season Preparedness: How We Protect Your Roof

Houston’s storm season is no joke. From hurricane-force winds to torrential downpours and hail the size of golf balls, your roof faces relentless threats from May through November. At [H-Town Roofing & Repairs], we’ve spent 25+ years safeguarding homes and businesses across Houston, West University, Galveston, and beyond. Here’s how we help you prepare—and why proactive protection matters more than ever.

Why Houston’s Storms Demand Extra Vigilance

Houston’s unique climate makes it a hotspot for severe weather:

• Hurricanes & Tropical Storms: High winds (60+ mph) can rip off shingles, loosen tiles, or collapse aging structures.

• Hail Damage: Texas ranks #1 in U.S. hail claims, with Houston storms often leaving roofs pockmarked and vulnerable to leaks.

• Heavy Rainfall: Even minor cracks can lead to catastrophic leaks during Houston’s flash floods.

• Debris Impact: Falling branches or wind-blown objects puncture roofs, especially in tree-heavy areas like The Heights or River Oaks.

The cost of neglect? A single storm can turn a small weakness into a $10,000+ repair bill.

6 Steps We Take to Storm-Proof Your Roof

1. Pre-Storm Inspections: Catch Weaknesses Early

Our certified technicians perform FREE comprehensive inspections, checking for:

• Loose or missing shingles/tiles

• Damaged flashing around chimneys or vents

• Clogged gutters (a major cause of water pooling)

• Soft spots or sagging (signs of rot or structural issues)

Pro Tip: Schedule inspections twice a year—before storm season and after major weather events.

2. Reinforce Vulnerable Areas

We prioritize high-risk zones:

• Flashing & Sealants: Re-seal around skylights, vents, and pipes to prevent water intrusion.

• Gutter Guards: Install debris-blocking systems to keep water flowing away from your roof.

• Impact-Resistant Materials: For coastal areas like Galveston, we recommend Class 4 shingles or metal roofing to withstand hail.

3. Emergency Repair Readiness

When storms hit, we’re ready 24/7 with:

• Storm Response Teams: Dispatched within 2 hours for tarping, leak stoppage, and temporary fixes.

• Insurance Coordination: We document damage thoroughly to streamline your wind/hail claims.

4. Upgrade to Storm-Resistant Roofing

For long-term peace of mind, consider:

• Metal Roofing: Withstands 140 mph winds and lasts 50+ years.

• TPO/PVC Membranes: Ideal for flat commercial roofs (shopping centers, apartments) to prevent pooling.

• Slate or Concrete Tiles: Fireproof and hail-resistant for luxury homes in Memorial or Tanglewood.

5. Maintenance Contracts: Stay Protected Year-Round

Our affordable plans include:

• Bi-annual inspections

• Gutter cleaning

• Minor repairs (e.g., resealing, shingle replacement)

6. Post-Storm Recovery

After the skies clear, we:

• Perform detailed damage assessments.

• Prioritize repairs to prevent mold or structural decay.

• Offer NDL warranties to cover future storm-related issues.
