Contractors Showing Up After the Windstorm? Be Careful.

Windstorms don't attract as many storm chasers as hail, but Cedar Park still sees door-knockers after major wind events—especially in the larger subdivisions along 183A. Here's how to protect yourself.

I found shingles in my yard after last night's wind. Is my roof damaged?

Almost certainly yes—and the visible missing shingles are usually the least of your problems. Wind breaks seal bonds on surrounding shingles, lifts edges that settle back down, and loosens flashing at transition points. Cedar Park's multi-level rooflines have more of these vulnerable points. A free inspection shows you the full picture.

How do I know if this is wind damage or just my aging roof?

Wind damage has distinct patterns: missing shingles concentrated on high-stress areas like ridges, edges, and the windward slope. Broken seal strips on shingles that aren't curled or brittle. Fresh-looking underlayment where shingles are missing. Directional damage worse on one side. We document these patterns specifically because insurance covers wind damage but not normal wear.

My insurance adjuster said my damage is wear and tear, not wind. Can I dispute that?

Yes, and you should if the damage shows wind patterns. This happens frequently with wind claims because the distinction between wind damage and aging isn't always obvious to a rushed adjuster. We provide a second inspection with documentation showing wind-specific damage patterns—directional impact, broken seals on otherwise sound shingles, damage correlated to a specific weather event. Many initial 'wear and tear' denials get reversed.

We had high winds but I don't see any damage from the ground. Should I worry?

If winds exceeded 50 mph—which happens regularly in Cedar Park during spring and fall storms—you should get inspected. Wind damage is often invisible from ground level. Broken seals, lifted edges that settled back, loosened flashing at valleys and wall transitions—none of this shows from your driveway. Our free inspection either gives you peace of mind or catches damage while it's still a repair.

Will my insurance cover wind damage in Cedar Park?

Almost always yes. Standard Texas homeowner's policies cover sudden wind damage. The challenge with wind claims—unlike hail—is proving the damage was wind-caused rather than wear and tear. That's exactly why professional documentation matters. We photograph damage patterns, note directional indicators, and prepare reports that address what adjusters question.

The windstorm was a few weeks ago. Is it too late to file?

Probably not. Texas typically allows 1–2 years for storm damage claims. But waiting makes it harder to tie damage to a specific wind event because subsequent weather can alter the evidence. Broken seals that haven't leaked yet will leak eventually. Call us for a free inspection to assess what's documentable now.

Can wind damage cause a leak even if I don't see one yet?

Yes, and this is the hidden danger of wind damage. Wind breaks shingle seals and lifts edges without visibly displacing them. The first few rains might not leak. But each subsequent storm pushes water a little further under the compromised shingles until it reaches the underlayment and decking. By the time you see a water stain, you have roof damage plus interior damage.

Do I need a full replacement or just repairs?

It depends entirely on the scope of damage. If wind damaged a localized section—a ridge line, one slope's edge, or a few areas around valleys—we repair those specific areas. If damage is widespread across multiple slopes, replacement may make more financial sense. We tell you honestly which option is right. We don't push replacements when repairs solve the problem.

Will filing a wind claim raise my insurance rates?

Texas law generally prevents insurers from raising your premium for weather-related claims. Wind is an act of nature. The damage exists whether you file or not. Leaving it unrepaired means it worsens with every subsequent storm until you're dealing with leaks, water damage, mold, and structural problems that cost far more.

My Cedar Park home has a complex roofline. Does that make wind damage worse?

It creates more vulnerable points. Multi-level rooflines with valleys, dormers, hip lines, and wall transitions—common in neighborhoods like Buttercup Creek, Twin Creeks, and Crystal Falls—experience different wind pressures at each transition. Ridge caps, hip caps, and edge shingles on complex roofs take more stress. These areas need the most careful inspection after wind events.

What wind speeds actually damage roofs?

Sustained winds above 50 mph or gusts above 60 mph cause damage to most residential roofs. Cedar Park regularly sees these speeds during spring storms and cold fronts. But wind can exploit existing weaknesses at lower speeds—aged seal strips, improperly fastened shingles, or loose flashing can fail in 40 mph gusts. Roof age, condition, and installation quality all factor in.

How can I prevent wind damage in the future?

Proper installation is the biggest factor. Correctly fastened shingles with intact, fresh seal bonds resist wind significantly better than poorly attached ones. When we repair wind damage, we use high-wind rated materials and enhanced six-nail fastening patterns in wind-prone areas. Regular maintenance inspections also catch developing weaknesses before the next storm exploits them.
