The Ultimate Guide to Storm Damage Roof Inspections in Texas
Texas weather is unpredictable—hail, high winds, and heavy rain can strike at any moment. Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, hidden damage could leave your home vulnerable to leaks and costly repairs.
That’s where a professional storm damage inspection comes in. In this guide, we’ll explain why inspections matter, what the process looks like, and how Craft Masters Roofing helps homeowners navigate insurance claims with confidence.
Why Roof Inspections Matter After a Storm
Storm damage isn’t always obvious. Shingles may be loosened, flashing bent, or granules knocked off—issues that only trained eyes can detect. Left unchecked, small problems can lead to:
Interior leaks and water stains
Mold growth in the attic
Structural weakening of the roof deck
Voided manufacturer warranties
💡 Pro Tip: Insurance companies expect homeowners to act quickly. The sooner you schedule an inspection, the stronger your claim will be.
Common Types of Storm Damage in Texas
Every storm leaves a different mark on your roof:
Hail Damage: Bruised, cracked, or missing shingles, dents in gutters, and soft spots on the roof surface.
Wind Damage: Lifted or missing shingles, damaged flashing, and exposed underlayment.
Heavy Rain: Worn sealants and leaks around vents or chimneys.
Debris Impact: Fallen tree limbs or flying debris puncturing the roof.

How Insurance Works for Storm Damage
Texas homeowners often don’t realize just how much their insurance policy covers after a storm. Here’s what you should know:
Storm damage claims are typically covered as acts of nature.
You’re only responsible for your deductible.
Filing a claim for storm damage does not raise your premiums.
Craft Masters coordinates with adjusters to make sure damage isn’t overlooked.
Why You Shouldn’t Delay
Insurance companies often set deadlines for filing claims—sometimes as short as one year from the storm date. Delaying can mean:
Out-of-pocket repair costs later
More severe roof deterioration
Denied claims due to late reporting
