Storm Damage Roof Repair in Round Rock, TX

Your roof didn’t fail. The storm failed it. That’s a distinction that matters — and it’s the first thing we tell homeowners who call us after a bad night in Williamson County. Storm damage roof repair in Round Rock, TX is something we handle more than almost any other job because Round Rock gets hammered, repeatedly, by some of the most aggressive hail corridors in the state. If you’re standing in your yard right now looking at granules in the gutter or shingles on the lawn, you’re not imagining things. Something happened up there, and you need to know how bad it is.

We Had a Customer Call Us Crying

She lives off Gattis School Road. This was after the April storm a couple of years back — the one that sat over northern Williamson County for what felt like an hour. She’d just moved in eight months earlier. Brand-new house, brand-new roof, barely had the pictures hung on the walls. By the time we got out there, she had water running down her master bedroom wall, three separate ceiling stains, and a roof that looked, from the street, completely fine.

That’s the part that always gets people. Storm damage is sneaky. The roof looks okay. The attic looks okay. And then the next heavy rain shows you exactly where everything went wrong.

We got her claim filed. Full replacement, covered by insurance. New Owens Corning Duration shingles, decking replaced in two damaged sections, all new pipe boot flashings. She sent us a five-star review that said, among other things, “I didn’t know what I was looking at and they did.” That’s the job, honestly.

Why Round Rock Gets Hit So Hard

This isn’t bad luck. It’s geography.

Storm cells form over the Edwards Plateau — out toward Llano, Mason, San Saba — and they track southeast. Round Rock sits right in the approach path, along I-35, before those systems have had any time to weaken over urban heat. Williamson County is consistently in the top tier for Texas hail frequency. March through May is the peak. But we’ve done emergency tarps in October and replaced roofs in November because storms don’t read calendars.

What makes Round Rock rough on roofs specifically is the combination: golf ball-sized hail — 1.75 inches — hitting at 60-plus mph wind speeds. That’s not just cosmetic damage. That’s granule loss, bruised mat, cracked tabs. The kind of damage a roof quietly carries until it can’t anymore.

Subdivisions along Gattis School Road, Old Settlers Park, and out near Teravista have all taken significant damage in recent storm cycles. A lot of those roofs are 10 to 15 years old. Old enough that hail impact does real harm — not cosmetic harm. Real, structural, claim-worthy harm.

Here’s What You’re Actually Looking At

Homeowners expect drama. A branch through the ceiling. Shingles stripped off in sheets. Most serious storm damage doesn’t look like that at all.

Granule loss is what we check first. Those small ceramic granules on asphalt shingles aren’t decorative — they block UV radiation from destroying the asphalt mat underneath. Hail knocks them loose. You’ll find them collecting in gutters or washed out at the bottom of downspouts. A gallon of granules in the gutter after a storm is a gutter telling you something.

On the roof itself, hail leaves bruises in the shingle mat — soft spots that compress slightly when you push on them. Press wrong place, nothing. Press the right spot, it gives. That’s a compromised mat. Cracked tabs, split shingles, dented ridge caps. None of it screams emergency from the ground. All of it matters a lot when the next rain comes.

Metal surfaces are actually your best evidence tool. Flashing, pipe boots, gutters, the cap on your HVAC unit — hail leaves clean round dents on metal surfaces that document the storm. An adjuster looking at your AC condenser with 40 circular dents on it can’t argue hail didn’t hit the property.

And inside? Water stains on ceilings or wet insulation in the attic sometimes don’t show up until weeks after the storm. By then, things have already gotten worse.

One question we get constantly: “How soon after a storm should I call?” Answer: within a week if possible. Quick documentation ties the damage to a specific storm event, which strengthens your claim and prevents your insurer from arguing pre-existing conditions. Active leak or exposed decking? Call us the day of. We can tarp the damaged area to stop water intrusion while we work the claim.

The Insurance Claim Part — What Nobody Tells You

Your homeowner’s insurance almost certainly covers this. Texas policies include wind and hail as covered perils. Some Williamson County policies carry separate hail deductibles — worth reading your policy before you call the insurer.

Here’s what nobody explains upfront: the adjuster works for the insurance company. Not for you. Their job is to assess — and their incentive structure doesn’t reward finding every last impact point on your roof. Adjusters miss hail damage regularly. Especially the bruising and granule loss you really have to get up there to find. Our HAAG Certified inspectors document your damage first — photos, measurements, scope of loss — and we can be on-site when your adjuster walks the roof. Claims where a knowledgeable contractor is present during the adjustment tend to come out significantly better. We’ve watched it happen.

If the initial settlement comes back low, we’ll file a supplement. Supplemental claims are routine in storm restoration. The key is building the documentation from day one. We walk Round Rock homeowners through the full insurance claim process — start to finish. Plenty of customers here were genuinely surprised to find what looked like minor damage actually supported a full roof replacement claim.

There’s also a timing issue people don’t realize. Wait too long and an adjuster can argue the damage predates the storm. Texas policies typically allow one year from the storm date to file — but the real cost of waiting isn’t the deadline. It’s the water damage that compounds week over week while you’re deciding what to do.

Another question we hear often: “What if my adjuster says the damage isn’t bad enough?” Push back. Get a second opinion. HAAG Certified inspectors are trained to find and document exactly what adjusters and engineers are looking for. If we found damage the adjuster missed — and we often do — we’ll work with you to reopen or supplement the claim.

We’re Not Storm Chasers. That Matters.

Honestly, the out-of-state crews that flood into Round Rock after a major storm event — it ticks us off. They knock on doors, make big promises, take deposits, and half of them are gone before the second rainstorm hits. There’s no one to call when the work fails. No warranty worth anything. No office you can drive to.

We’re a family-owned Austin-area company. Our office is 20 minutes from Round Rock. We’ve been doing this long enough to have replaced roofs and then gone back years later to replace them again on the same houses — because we’re still here. HAAG Certified inspectors. Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status, which means better material warranties than most area contractors can offer. Over 104 five-star reviews from homeowners across the Austin metro. We use quality shingles and stand behind our workmanship — because we still have to look these neighborhoods in the eye next spring when the storms come back around.
