Wind Damage Repair in Georgetown, TX

Already Dealing With Wind Damage? Here's Your Next Step

No matter where you are in the process, we help Georgetown homeowners.

Beware of Door Knockers After Windstorms

After significant wind events, Georgetown neighborhoods see an influx of contractors—some driving in from out of state. Sun City and Wolf Ranch are popular targets because of their size and visibility. Not all of these crews are looking out for you.

I found shingles in my Georgetown yard after the storm. Is my roof damaged?

Almost certainly yes. Shingles don't detach from intact roofs. But the shingles you found are only part of the story—wind also breaks seal bonds, lifts edges, and loosens flashing in ways that aren't visible from the ground. We offer free inspections throughout Georgetown and can be there within 24-48 hours to assess the full picture.

Does Georgetown get more wind damage than other parts of Austin?

Georgetown sits on the open Blackland Prairie with less tree canopy and urban density to buffer wind than central Austin. Neighborhoods like Sun City and Wolf Ranch are especially exposed because they're surrounded by open terrain. When straight-line winds or storm fronts push through Williamson County, Georgetown roofs take the direct hit without the natural windbreaks that more heavily treed areas provide.

How do I know if this is wind damage or just my old shingles wearing out?

Wind damage shows distinct patterns: missing shingles concentrated on ridges, edges, or the windward side of the roof; broken seal strips on shingles that aren't curled or brittle; fresh-looking underlayment where shingles are missing; and directional damage patterns. Many Sun City and Serenada homes have aging builder-grade shingles where wind exploits already-weakened seals. We document the wind patterns specifically to support your insurance claim.

My insurance adjuster said this is 'wear and tear,' not wind damage. Now what?

This happens frequently with Georgetown wind claims, especially on older roofs in Sun City and Serenada where adjusters see aged shingles and default to wear and tear. We can provide a detailed second inspection showing the specific wind damage patterns—directional loss, broken seals on otherwise intact shingles, damage correlating to a documented wind event. Many initial denials get reversed with proper documentation.

It was windy last week but I don't see obvious damage from my driveway. Should I still get inspected?

Yes. Wind damage is the most commonly missed type of roof damage because it's often invisible from the ground. Wind breaks seal bonds and lifts shingle edges that then lay back down. On Georgetown's steep-pitched roofs in Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills, damage on upper slopes and dormers is impossible to spot without getting on the roof. A free inspection gives you certainty.

Will my insurance cover wind damage to my Georgetown roof?

Most Texas homeowner policies cover sudden wind damage. The key is proving the damage was caused by a specific wind event rather than gradual wear. That's exactly what our documentation addresses—we photograph damage patterns, correlate them with weather data, and prepare reports that satisfy what adjusters look for. We've handled thousands of wind claims across Central Texas.

Can wind damage cause a leak even if shingles aren't missing?

Absolutely. This is the most underestimated aspect of wind damage. Wind breaks the adhesive seal strips that bond shingles together and loosens flashing around chimneys and dormers. Water doesn't necessarily get in immediately—but with each subsequent rain, water works its way under the compromised seals. Georgetown homeowners often don't discover the leak until weeks or months after the wind event.

Do I need a full roof replacement or just repairs for wind damage?

It depends on how widespread the damage is. If wind affected one section or a few specific areas, targeted repairs make sense. If broken seals and lifted shingles span the entire roof, replacement is more practical. We tell you honestly what you need—we don't push full replacements when repairs will solve the problem. The inspection is free and the recommendation comes with no obligation.

Will filing a wind damage claim raise my insurance rates?

In Texas, insurers generally cannot raise your premium specifically for weather-related claims. Wind is an act of nature. The damage exists whether you file or not. Leaving compromised shingles and broken seals unrepaired leads to water intrusion, interior damage, and mold—problems that cost far more to fix and may not be covered if your insurer discovers you neglected the original damage.

The wind damage happened a few weeks ago. Is it too late?

Probably not. Texas allows 1-2 years for most storm claims. But waiting creates two problems: the damage worsens with each subsequent rain and wind event, and it becomes harder to link the damage to a specific storm. Call us for a free Georgetown inspection—we can assess whether filing still makes sense for your situation.

My Berry Creek home has a steep, multi-level roof. Is wind damage worse on complex roofs?

Complex rooflines are more vulnerable to wind because wind accelerates over ridges, swirls in valleys, and creates uplift pressure on steep slopes. Dormers and hip lines are high-stress points. Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills homes with multiple roof levels often have damage in areas that aren't visible from any vantage point on the ground. Our inspectors check every section.

How can I prevent future wind damage to my Georgetown roof?

Proper installation is the single biggest factor. Correctly nailed shingles with intact seal bonds resist wind far better than incorrectly fastened ones. When we repair or replace a Georgetown roof, we use high-wind rated materials with enhanced six-nail fastening patterns in wind-vulnerable areas. For homes on Georgetown's open terrain, this makes a measurable difference in how the roof handles the next storm.
