Wind Damage Assessment in Houston, TX

---

 In Texas, high winds can be a significant threat to your roof's integrity. Many roofing companies overlook the subtle signs of wind damage, but at Fortbend Roofing Texas, we conduct a meticulous evaluation of every roof slope, examining each individual shingle for potential breaches.  

Homeowners often assume that wind damage is merely the loss of a shingle or two. However, roofs, especially newer ones, can suffer more extensive damage due to improper installation practices. Many roofing contractors may not specialize in roofing and may use subpar materials or incorrect nailing patterns. This can lead to shingles being applied with too few nails, making them vulnerable to winds exceeding 50 MPH, which can tear the nails through the fastener and expose the underlayment and decking beneath.  

It’s not uncommon for homes with original roofs to have up to 30 damaged shingles without the homeowner ever noticing, simply from viewing the roof from the ground. Based on our experience, we recommend that all original roofs be assessed and often replaced after 10 years to ensure they can withstand the elements and provide peace of mind.  

Fortbend Roofing Texas offers free roof inspections to ensure your roof is in excellent condition. We understand that insurance companies may sometimes attribute damage to weather conditions rather than improper installation or lack of maintenance.  Our team will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your roof, identifying areas affected by wind damage and providing insights into any preventable issues from the building process.   We’re committed to working with you and your insurance provider to maximize coverage and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses because we believe in treating our customers the way we would want to be treated.
