Storm Damage Roof Repair & Insurance Claims
Emergency Roof Tarping
If a storm opened up your roof, the first priority is stopping more water from getting in. We install emergency tarps to protect your home until permanent repairs can be made. Most insurance policies expect homeowners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, so keep your receipts and photos.
How We Help With Your Insurance Claim
We’ve helped Houston-area homeowners recover from storms for more than 35 years. Here’s how we support you, within Texas law:
- Free storm inspection: we inspect the roof, gutters, vents and flashing and look for damage you can’t see from the ground.
- Photo documentation: you get a written report with photos showing what we found.
- You file your claim: you contact your insurance company and start the claim. It’s your claim and your policy.
- Adjuster meeting: at your request, we can meet the insurance adjuster at your home to show them the damage we documented.
- Review your scope: once your insurer sends its estimate, we’ll walk through it with you and explain what’s included.
- Repair or replacement: we complete the work to manufacturer specifications and handle the final paperwork your insurer needs.
Know Your Rights: Texas Roofing and Insurance Law
The Texas Department of Insurance warns homeowners about storm chasers who make promises they can’t legally keep. Under Texas law: Contractors can’t waive, rebate or absorb your deductible. You’re required to pay your deductible, and your contract must say so for jobs of $1,000 or more paid by insurance.
Your roofer can’t act as your public adjuster. A contractor who does the work on your home can’t negotiate your claim settlement or speak for you on coverage. Alliance Roofing follows these rules on every job. Be cautious of anyone who knocks on your door after a storm and offers to “cover your deductible” or “handle your claim for you.” Learn more from the Texas Department of Insurance.
Storm Repair or Full Replacement?
Minor storm damage can often be repaired: replacing missing shingles, resealing flashing or fixing a few broken tiles. Widespread hail damage or major wind loss usually means a full roof replacement. We’ll explain what we see and why, and your insurer’s adjuster will make the coverage decision.
When a replacement is needed, our GAF Master Elite certification lets us offer some of the strongest manufacturer warranties available. We also install impact-resistant shingles, which may qualify for an insurance discount in Texas. Ask your insurer.
Coastal Homes and Windstorm Certification
If your home is in a coastal area insured through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), roof work may need to be inspected and certified to meet windstorm building requirements. We’ll let you know if this applies to your property.
