Storm Hit Leander? Here's What to Do Right Now.

You heard the hail hammering your roof. Or you woke up to shingles in the driveway and a wet spot on the ceiling. Or half your neighborhood is outside staring at their roofs and you're wondering if yours took the same damage. Leander sits on the western edge of Central Texas's hail corridor, and when storms roll off the Hill Country, they hit here with force.

Before you do anything else: Don't let the chaos push you into a hasty decision. Within hours of every Leander hailstorm, door-to-door roofers flood neighborhoods like Crystal Falls, Travisso, and Bryson—many from out of state, many without verifiable credentials. The rush they create is manufactured. Your insurance claim doesn't expire this week. Take a breath and make a smart choice.

Your immediate next steps:

1

Stay off your roof.

Storm-damaged surfaces are unpredictable—cracked decking, loosened shingles, standing water. Professional inspection is the only safe approach.

2

Photograph visible damage from ground level.

Shingles on the ground, dented gutters, cracked siding, ceiling stains, water on the floor. Timestamped photos from your phone strengthen your claim.

3

Stop any water from spreading inside.

Buckets under drips, towels around the perimeter, furniture moved clear. Your insurance policy requires you to "mitigate damages"—this satisfies that requirement.

4

Call us before calling your insurance company.

Professional documentation before you file sets you up for a stronger claim. Your initial filing establishes the baseline for your settlement—and it's difficult to add damage after the fact.

We respond to Leander storm emergencies within hours. Free inspection, zero obligation, no sales pressure.

Already filed your claim? Adjuster scheduled?

Call us now. We need to inspect before the adjuster arrives. The adjuster's visit is the single most important moment in your claim. Having a roofing professional on-site who knows what to point out—and what adjusters typically skip—changes the outcome. We walk the roof together, highlight every impact area, and ensure nothing gets left off the report.

Will Insurance Cover My Leander Storm Damage?

This is what every Leander homeowner asks first. The answer is almost always yes—if the damage was caused by a weather event.

Standard Texas homeowner's policies cover sudden storm damage, including:

  • Hail damage—cracked shingles, broken seal strips, granule displacement
  • Wind damage—lifted, creased, or missing shingle tabs
  • Fallen tree limbs and flying debris impacts
  • Interior water damage caused by storm-compromised roofing

Worried about rate increases? Texas law generally prevents insurers from raising your premium for weather-related claims. The damage is on your roof whether you file or not—and leaving it unrepaired means leaks, mold, and rot that cost far more than your deductible.

The real question isn't IF insurance pays. It's whether you get the full amount you're owed.

Insurance adjusters work for the carrier, not for you. After big storms, they rush through Leander neighborhoods handling dozens of inspections per day. Damage gets missed—especially on the back slopes, at pipe boots, and around wall transitions that require climbing to inspect. The difference between a partial payout and full coverage often comes down to how thoroughly the damage was documented before the adjuster's visit.

Wherever You Are in the Process, We Can Step In.

Leander homeowners call us at every stage of the storm damage process. Find your situation below.

"The storm just happened. I haven't done anything yet."

Best possible timing. Call us for a free inspection before you file. We build claim-ready documentation so your initial filing is as strong as possible.

"I filed my claim. The adjuster is coming this week."

Call us immediately. We inspect before the adjuster arrives and meet them at your home to walk the roof together. This is where claims are won or lost.

"The adjuster came and the payout seems too low."

Common after big Williamson County storms when adjusters rush through neighborhoods. We document missed damage and help you file a supplemental claim for a fair settlement.

"My claim was denied."

Denials can be appealed with better evidence. We assess whether your roof supports a re-inspection and build a stronger documentation package for your appeal.

"The storm was weeks ago. I didn't file right away."

Texas allows 1–2 years for most storm claims. You likely still have time—but hidden damage worsens with every rain. A free inspection tells us what's still documentable.

"A door-knocker gave me a quote and something feels off."

Trust that instinct. Get a second opinion from a company with a local address and years of verifiable reviews. Our inspections are always free and no-pressure.

"I'm not sure if the damage is worth filing over."

That's exactly what our free inspection answers. We tell you honestly whether the damage warrants a claim or if it's minor enough to monitor.

From Storm Damage to Restored Roof: How It Works in Leander

1

Free Inspection (Same-Day for Emergencies)

We inspect every slope, ridge, hip, valley, pipe boot, and wall transition. On Leander's newer production-built homes, we also check for pre-existing builder shortcuts that the storm may have exposed or worsened. Every impact gets documented.

2

We Build Your Claim Package

Annotated photographs, a damage map showing every affected area of your roof layout, and a professional Xactimate estimate formatted exactly how insurance carriers expect. This isn't a generic quote—it's a document engineered to maximize your settlement.

3

We Meet Your Adjuster at Your Leander Home

This is where your settlement is determined. We walk the roof with your adjuster, point out every documented damage area, and present our evidence. Most homeowners don't know what the adjuster needs to see—we've done this thousands of times across Williamson County.

4

Review the Settlement Together

We compare the payout against actual damage. If the settlement is fair, we proceed. If they missed damage or undervalued the scope, we file a supplemental claim with additional documentation and push for a fair number.

5

Repairs Completed

Quality materials, proper installation techniques, full cleanup. Most Leander storm repairs are finished in 1–3 days. Full replacements on standard production-home rooflines typically complete in a single day.

6

Final Payment Released

We handle recoverable depreciation paperwork so your insurer releases the final payment. This step recovers hundreds to thousands of dollars that many homeowners never claim because they don't know the process exists.

Leander Is a Storm Chaser Magnet. Here's How to Protect Yourself.

Leander's rapid growth—thousands of new homes built since 2015—makes it one of the most heavily canvassed areas in Texas after hailstorms. Newer neighborhoods full of first-time homeowners are the easiest targets. Knowing the red flags can save you from a costly mistake.

Red flags every Leander homeowner should know:

Knocking on your door hours after the storm

Local roofers are busy helping existing customers—not walking Travisso and Bryson looking for new ones

"Sign today or lose this price"

There is no expiring deal. Insurance pays based on documented damage, not when you sign a contract

"We'll cover your deductible"

Insurance fraud in Texas. Any contractor offering this is breaking the law—and will cut corners on your roof to make up the difference

No local address or verifiable history

Ask for a physical Texas business address—not a PO Box, hotel, or temporary office. Then verify it actually exists

Pushes you to sign an Assignment of Benefits

An AOB hands control of your insurance claim to the contractor. You should always maintain control of your own settlement

Demands a large deposit upfront

Reputable contractors handling insured work don't require substantial money before starting. Your insurance settlement covers the cost

What a legitimate Leander storm damage contractor looks like:

  • Physical business address in the Austin/Leander area that you can verify
  • Google reviews from local homeowners going back multiple years—not just the last few months
  • No pressure to sign anything—gives you time to make a considered decision
  • Meets your insurance adjuster on-site and walks the roof together
  • Provides written warranties from a company that will still be in Leander next year

What If Insurance Doesn't Cover the Full Cost?

Sometimes there's a gap between your settlement and the repair cost. Your deductible might be higher than expected. The adjuster may have depreciated your roof. Your policy might have limitations you weren't aware of. These situations happen—especially on newer Leander homes where policies sometimes include percentage-based wind/hail deductibles instead of flat-dollar amounts.

How we close the gap:

Maximize your settlement first.

Before discussing out-of-pocket costs, we make sure you're receiving every dollar your policy covers. Better documentation and supplemental claims frequently close the gap entirely.

Recoverable depreciation recovery.

After repairs are completed, your insurer releases depreciation holdback—often $1,000–$4,000+ that many homeowners never claim because they don't know it exists. We handle that paperwork for you.

Financing available.

We offer financing to cover your deductible or any remaining balance with manageable monthly payments. A storm shouldn't wipe out your savings account.

Honest scope recommendations.

If budget is a concern, we tell you what's critical now versus what can wait. Not every damaged shingle is an emergency. We help you prioritize repairs without creating future problems.

No hidden costs. You'll know exactly what you pay before we start.

Leander Homeowners Who Weathered the Storm With Us

Real stories from Leander homeowners we helped recover after major storms

Kevin Hargrove

April hailstorm hit our Crystal Falls neighborhood hard. Two storm chasers knocked on our door the same afternoon—neither had a local address when I asked. Called Altair instead. They inspected the next morning and documented 62 hail impacts across four slopes plus cracked ridge cap and two damaged pipe boots. Built our entire claim package before we even called State Farm. Adjuster approved a full replacement with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Net cost to us was just our deductible.

Straight-line winds ripped shingles off two slopes of our Travisso home during a late-night storm. Woke up to water streaming down the master bedroom wall. Called Altair at 6 AM—crew was at our house by 9 tarping the exposed areas. They met our insurance adjuster two days later and pointed out wind damage on slopes the adjuster hadn't planned to walk. Full replacement approved. Altair finished the install in one day. From storm to new roof in three weeks.

Our adjuster approved only a partial repair on our Mason Hills home after the February storms—$2,800 for what was clearly widespread damage. Felt lowballed but didn't know how to fight it. Altair inspected, found hail damage on the two back slopes the adjuster never climbed, plus compromised hip caps and a cracked skylight seal that weren't in the original report. Filed a supplement with their documentation. Second review approved a full replacement—$11,200 more than the original offer. Worth every minute of the phone call.

A severe thunderstorm tore off ridge caps and lifted shingles across our entire roof. Altair had an emergency tarp up the same evening and came back for full repairs within the week. They coordinated directly with our insurance company and we barely had to lift a finger.

The spring storms left us with a leaking roof and water damage in the attic. Altair responded quickly, stopped the leak, and then did a comprehensive repair that addressed every issue the storm caused. They also connected us with a restoration company for the interior damage. Above and beyond.

After back-to-back storms, our roof had multiple issues—missing shingles, damaged flashing, and a cracked vent boot. Altair fixed everything in one visit and their pricing was fair. They showed us photos of all the damage before starting work so we knew exactly what we were paying for.

Storm Damage Questions Leander Homeowners Ask

Answers to the questions we hear most after storms hit Leander and western Williamson County

A storm just hit Leander. How fast can you respond?
We keep crews in western Williamson County and respond to Leander storm emergencies within hours—often same-day. For active leaks or structural damage like a tree limb through the roof, call (512) 640-2658 immediately. We prioritize homes where water is actively entering the living space.
My Leander home is only a few years old. Can a new roof really have storm damage?
Absolutely. Hail doesn't care how old your roof is. A two-year-old roof in Travisso takes the same impact as a twenty-year-old roof in Block House Creek. In fact, newer production-installed shingles sometimes perform worse under hail because they haven't fully sealed yet. Age doesn't protect your roof—and it doesn't disqualify you from filing a claim.
Should I call Altair first or my insurance company first?
Call us first. We inspect and build professional documentation before you file your claim. Your initial filing sets the baseline for your entire settlement—starting with thorough evidence means nothing gets left out. Filing with incomplete information limits what you can recover later, even with a supplement.
Storm chasers are all over my Leander neighborhood. Should I hire one?
Be extremely cautious. Leander's newer subdivisions—Crystal Falls, Travisso, Bryson, Cold Springs—are prime targets because they're full of first-time homeowners who haven't been through this process. Some door-knockers are legitimate. Many are out-of-state operations who do quick work and leave before you discover problems. Never sign anything on the spot. Ask for a local address, contractor license, and Google reviews from area homeowners going back years.
How do I know if my roof actually has storm damage? It looks fine from the ground.
Most storm damage is invisible from ground level. Hail cracks shingles in patterns you can only see up close. Wind lifts shingle tabs and breaks the adhesive seal without visibly moving them. Granule loss from hail weakens shingles gradually. If your neighbors are getting new roofs after a storm, your roof likely took the same hits. A free roof inspection takes the guesswork out of it.
Will filing a storm damage claim raise my insurance rates?
Texas law generally prevents insurers from raising your premium specifically because of weather-related claims. The damage exists whether you file or not. Leaving it unrepaired leads to leaks, mold, and rot that cost far more than your deductible. For legitimate storm damage, filing is almost always the right decision.
The adjuster came and I think the settlement is too low. What can I do?
This is common, especially after big storms when adjusters are handling dozens of Williamson County inspections in a single day. You have the right to dispute. We inspect your roof, document damage the adjuster missed—often on slopes they didn't walk or at pipe boots and wall transitions they skipped—and help you file a supplemental claim. Many Leander homeowners receive significantly better settlements on the second review.
The storm was a few weeks ago. Can I still file a claim?
Probably yes. Texas policies typically allow 1–2 years to file storm damage claims. However, waiting makes it harder to prove the storm caused the damage versus normal wear. And hidden damage worsens with every subsequent rain—a cracked shingle today becomes wet decking and mold next month. Call us for a free inspection while the damage is still clearly attributable to the storm event.
What if my storm damage overlaps with a builder defect on my new Leander home?
This happens more often in Leander than most cities because so many roofs are relatively new. Storm damage is an insurance claim. Builder defects are a warranty issue. We can identify which damage is which—improperly installed flashing that was made worse by wind, or a pipe boot that cracked from hail but was also under-seated from installation. Getting this distinction right protects both your insurance claim and your builder warranty recourse.
My claim was denied. Is there anything I can do?
Denials can often be appealed with stronger documentation. We assess whether the damage on your roof supports a re-inspection request and help you build a more compelling case with detailed photos, measurements, and a professional Xactimate estimate. Not every denial is reversible, but many are—especially when the original adjuster was rushed or inexperienced.
Can I pick my own roofer or does insurance assign one?
You always choose your own contractor. Insurance companies cannot require you to use their 'preferred vendor' list. Some adjusters suggest specific contractors—but those companies often have agreements with the insurer to keep costs low, not to maximize quality for you. Choose a roofer who advocates for your interests.
What if I can't afford my deductible right now?
We offer financing options to help cover your deductible with manageable payments. We also make sure you receive your full recoverable depreciation payment after repairs are completed—money that many homeowners don't realize they're owed. Between the initial settlement and depreciation recovery, most Leander homeowners pay only their deductible out of pocket.
