San Antonio sits in the path of everything Texas weather produces: severe spring thunderstorms with large hail, straight-line winds that peel back roofing, and the occasional tropical system pushing up from the Gulf. The Hill Country storms that flood the creeks also throw hail and wind at the metro's roofs.
Hail does the expensive hidden damage — bruising shingles by fracturing the mat beneath the granules, so the roof looks intact from the street while the clock ticks toward a leak. Wind does the visible work: lifted tabs, torn flashing, damaged vents. After any significant hail or wind event, get a professional inspection even if the roof looks fine from the driveway.
If your roof took a hit anywhere in the San Antonio metro, call (317) 953-9152 any time. We connect you with an independent local roofing contractor for emergency tarping and storm damage repair. The matching service is free.
What happens after you call
What happens after you call
The contractor's first priority is stopping water intrusion: emergency tarping over breached areas, often the same day. Then comes the inspection — shingle-by-shingle where accessible, plus vents, flashing, gutters, and the attic underside for water entry points.
If you're filing an insurance claim, the contractor documents everything the adjuster needs: photos of hail bruising and wind lift, measurements, and the roof's age and material. Most homeowner policies cover sudden storm damage minus your deductible; the adjuster's inspection sets the scope, and solid documentation is what gets a fair one. Be cautious of door-knockers who appear after every storm — verify license and insurance, and never sign a contingency agreement under pressure at your front door.
Act fast
What to do right now
In an emergency, minutes matter. Take these steps while help is on the way.
- Stay off the roof. Storm-damaged roofs are unstable — soft spots, lifted shingles, and weakened decking cause most homeowner injuries after storms. Inspect from the ground with binoculars or your phone's zoom.
- Tarp exposed areas fast. A temporary tarp over torn shingles, punctures, or lifted flashing keeps the next rain out of your attic and walls. Emergency roofers offer same-day tarping — it's the single best thing you can do while waiting for repairs.
- Document the damage before anything is repaired. Photograph damaged shingles, dented vents and gutters, lifted flashing, and any water spots inside — from the ground. Your insurance adjuster needs this evidence.
- Call your insurance company promptly. Most homeowner policies cover sudden storm damage, but there is usually a filing window — waiting months can give the insurer grounds to deny the claim.
- Don't sign anything at the door. After big storms, door-to-door roofers flood affected neighborhoods. Never sign a contingency contract on the spot — verify the contractor's license and insurance and get references first.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look for granule loss (bald spots or granules piling in gutters), bruised shingles that feel soft or spongy, dented metal vents, flashing, or gutters, and cracked or torn shingles. Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground — an independent contractor's inspection confirms what the storm actually did.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof after a storm?
Sudden storm damage — hail, wind, fallen limbs — is typically covered minus your deductible. Gradual wear, old age, and pre-existing deterioration are not. An adjuster inspection decides the scope, and the contractor's documentation of storm damage strengthens your claim.
How fast do I need to act after storm damage?
Tarp immediately if the roof is breached — every rain between the storm and the repair adds interior damage. File the insurance claim within days, not months. Policies have filing windows, and delays invite disputes about whether the damage is really from this storm.
Are you the roofing company?
No — we're a free matching service, not a roofer. We connect you with an independent local roofing contractor; they do the work and you pay them directly. We never perform repairs ourselves.
What does emergency roof tarping cost?
It varies by roof size and damage, and many contractors credit the tarping cost toward the full repair if you hire them. Ask for the price upfront before authorizing the work — a reputable contractor gives you a number, not a shrug.
A roofer knocked on my door after the storm. Should I let them inspect?
Be cautious. Storm-chasing outfits aren't all bad, but never sign anything under pressure at the door. Verify the company's license and insurance, check reviews, and get the scope in writing. A legitimate contractor is fine with you taking a day to decide.
What kind of storm damage do San Antonio roofs take?
Hail bruising on composition shingles is the most common and most expensive — it voids shingle life silently. Then wind damage: lifted tabs, torn ridge caps, damaged flashing around vents and chimneys. Large hail can also crack tile roofs common in newer suburbs and dent metal vents and gutters.
How fast can I get emergency tarping in San Antonio?
Independent roofing contractors across the metro typically offer same-day emergency tarping after storm events. When a big hailstorm hits, the whole region calls at once — getting in the queue the morning after the storm beats waiting a week.
Will my Texas homeowners insurance cover hail damage?
Hail and wind are standard covered perils, but watch the deductible: many Texas policies now carry separate wind/hail deductibles, often a percentage of the insured value. On a San Antonio home that can be several thousand dollars — know the number before you file.
