Wind Damage Roof Repair in Pflugerville, TX

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

No matter where you are in the process, we help Pflugerville homeowners navigate wind claims.

Beware of Door Knockers After Windstorms

After any significant wind event, contractors flood Pflugerville neighborhoods. They know the Blackland Prairie takes a beating and insurance companies will pay. Some are legitimate. Many are not.

I found shingles in my yard but my Pflugerville roof looks fine from below. Do I have damage?

Almost certainly yes. Shingles don't detach from healthy roofs. More importantly, the damage you can't see from the ground—broken seal strips, lifted edges, loosened flashing—is often worse than the missing shingles themselves. Pflugerville's flat Blackland Prairie terrain means wind hits your roof with sustained force, not just gusts. A free inspection will tell you what's really going on.

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

Wind damage shows specific patterns: missing shingles concentrated on the windward side (south-facing in Pflugerville, where prevailing winds come from), broken seal strips on shingles that aren't curled or brittle, clean underlayment where shingles are gone, and directional damage patterns. We document these patterns precisely to support your insurance claim.

The adjuster said my damage is 'wear and tear,' not wind. Now what?

This happens a lot with wind claims—more than with hail claims, because wind damage doesn't leave obvious dents. We can provide a second inspection with documentation specifically showing wind causation: directional damage patterns, broken (not aged) seal strips, and correlation with documented wind events. Many 'wear and tear' denials in Pflugerville get reversed with proper evidence.

Why does Pflugerville seem to get so much wind damage?

Geography. Pflugerville sits on the Blackland Prairie—flat, open terrain with minimal natural windbreaks. Prevailing south-southeast winds accelerate across this flat landscape. Newer subdivisions like Avalon and Spring Trails are especially exposed because they're in open areas where mature tree cover hasn't developed yet. Add in derecho-strength straight-line winds from thunderstorms, and Pflugerville roofs take more sustained wind stress than most Central Texas communities.

Will my insurance cover wind damage?

Almost always yes. Most Texas homeowner's policies cover sudden wind damage. The key is proving the damage was caused by wind—not normal aging—and documenting it properly. That's exactly where we specialize. We've handled thousands of wind claims and know how to present evidence that adjusters can't dismiss.

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

Probably not. Texas allows 1-2 years for most storm claims. However, the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to tie the damage to a specific wind event—especially in Pflugerville where wind events are frequent. Call us for a free inspection to assess your situation before time works against you.

Can wind damage cause leaks?

Yes, but often not right away. Wind breaks shingle seal strips and lifts edges. The first rain might not leak. But each subsequent storm worsens the damage until eventually water gets behind the shingles and into your home. In Pflugerville's flat, wind-exposed terrain, this progression happens faster because your roof takes more sustained wind events. Prompt repair prevents small wind damage from becoming a major leak.

Do I need a full roof replacement or just repairs?

It depends on how widespread the damage is. Wind typically damages specific zones—ridges, edges, windward slopes—rather than the entire roof. If the damage is localized, we repair those areas. We don't push full replacements when targeted repairs will solve the problem. Our goal is the right solution, not the most expensive one.

Will filing a wind damage claim raise my insurance rates?

In Texas, insurers generally cannot raise your premium for weather-related claims. Wind is an act of nature. The damage exists whether you file or not. Leaving it unrepaired on Pflugerville's wind-exposed prairie means every subsequent storm makes it worse—and eventually you're looking at interior water damage, mold, and a much more expensive problem.

Another roofer said I need a full replacement. Should I get a second opinion?

Absolutely. Some contractors push replacements because they're more profitable. Wind damage is usually localized, not roof-wide. We'll inspect and tell you honestly whether targeted repairs will solve the problem or if the damage is truly extensive enough to warrant replacement. The inspection is free and there's no obligation.

What wind speeds cause roof damage in Pflugerville?

Winds above 50 mph can damage roofs, and Pflugerville regularly sees gusts of 60-70+ mph during spring thunderstorms and derecho events. However, Pflugerville's flat Blackland Prairie means sustained winds at lower speeds can also cause damage because there's nothing to slow the wind down before it hits your roof. Even moderate winds can exploit existing weaknesses like aging seal strips.

How can I prevent future wind damage?

Proper installation is the best defense. Correctly fastened shingles with intact seal strips resist wind significantly better. For Pflugerville homes, we use enhanced nailing patterns and high-wind rated materials in the wind-prone zones—ridges, edges, and south-facing slopes. Regular maintenance that catches developing seal failures before they lead to missing shingles also makes a real difference.
