West Houston caught the May 2024 derecho at full strength, and Katy's subdivisions were particularly exposed. The newer master-planned communities have limited mature tree cover — which is pleasant for sunlight and bad for wind, because there's nothing to break a 100 mph gust before it hits the roof.
Storm Damage Repair in Katy — tell us what’s going on.
Straight-line wind damage in these neighborhoods is the definition of invisible-from-the-driveway. Shingles get lifted, the seal strip breaks, and the shingle settles back into place looking untouched. The next storm takes it off entirely — and by then the claim window for the original event may have closed.
We inspect free and photograph every slope, then meet your adjuster on the roof if there's damage to document. Insurance adjusters cover a lot of properties after a major event, and having someone walk the roof with them is how the full scope gets captured rather than a partial assessment.
Texas law prohibits us from paying, waiving, or rebating any part of your deductible, and we don't. On a covered claim you pay your deductible and your carrier covers the approved balance.

Often you can't from the ground — that's the problem. The reliable signs are shingles that look slightly out of alignment, granules in gutters, or a neighbor's roof visibly damaged. A free inspection settles it either way.
Yes. We document the damage with photos, provide the report your carrier needs, and meet the adjuster on site so nothing gets missed in the scope.
Then we tell you that and you keep the inspection report for your records. Plenty of our Katy inspections end with us saying the roof is fine.
