Wind Damage Roof Repair

Helping You Take Care of Your Roof After Texas Windstorms

Strong winds are a fact of life in North Texas. Whether it’s from spring thunderstorms, straight-line winds, or sudden gusts during cold fronts, the wind can wreak havoc on your roof. Shingles get torn off. Flashing gets bent. Debris crashes into your roof. And often, damage happens where you can’t see it.

At Dallas Roof Repair Co., we help homeowners in the Dallas area connect with roofing professionals who focus on inspecting and repairing wind damage. Our goal is to make it easy to get help after a windstorm—without pressure to replace your whole roof if it’s not needed.

Common Signs of Wind Damage to Roofs

Not all roof damage is obvious from the ground. In fact, one of the most dangerous things about wind damage is how easy it is to miss. If a recent storm came through your area, look for these signs:

Missing shingles or tiles

Loose or lifted shingles that flap in the wind

Damaged ridge vents or flashing

Debris buildup in valleys or gutters

Exposed nail heads or fasteners

Water stains on ceilings or attic walls

Whistling noises during high winds

Sometimes, shingles may look fine from below but have been lifted just enough to break the seal. That creates a future leak waiting to happen.

How Wind Damages Different Roofing Materials

Every roofing material responds to wind differently. Here’s what we commonly see in Dallas-area homes:

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

These are the most common and also the most vulnerable to high winds. Shingles can curl, lift, or blow off entirely, especially if they’re older or were improperly nailed.

Tile Roofs

Wind can break, loosen, or shift clay or concrete tiles. Underlayment beneath tiles is especially important to check for damage, even if the tiles themselves look fine.

Metal Roofs

Panels can become loose or start rattling due to wind pressure. Fasteners may back out or flashing can peel up at the seams.

Flat Roofs

Wind can pull at the membrane and cause bubbling, tenting, or seam separation—particularly on commercial or low-slope roofs.

Wood Shake Roofs

Shakes can split, lift, or deteriorate faster when repeatedly exposed to strong gusts and rain.

What to Expect from a Wind Damage Roof Inspection

Getting your roof inspected by someone who understands wind damage is critical. The process typically includes:

Exterior inspection to assess visible issues like missing shingles, damaged flashing, or debris impact points
Close-up review of shingles or tiles for seal failure, nail pull-throughs, or edge lifting
Gutter and flashing check to identify loosened or bent components
Attic or interior scan (when needed) to look for hidden leaks or water entry
Photographic documentation for your records or possible insurance claim

Some roofing pros will also perform a wind-uplift test to see if shingle seals are still intact.

Why Wind Damage Is More Serious Than It Looks

A small issue like one missing shingle might seem minor, but over time, wind-damaged areas can let water in. That moisture can:

Rot the roof deck beneath the surface

Cause mold or mildew in the attic

Damage insulation

Lead to interior leaks and drywall staining

Spread damage to surrounding shingles

Even a small breach in your roof’s defense can grow into a costly repair if ignored. That’s why we always recommend a timely inspection if your home was exposed to strong winds—even if it “looks okay.”

Should You Repair or Replace After Wind Damage?

In many cases, roof repair is all that’s needed—especially when the damage is localized to a few shingles or small sections. You may need a full replacement if:

Wind removed large sections of your roof covering

Your roof is already near the end of its lifespan

The underlying structure was compromised

There’s repeated or chronic storm damage over time

Our mission at Dallas Roof Repair Co. is to connect you with roofers who are honest about the extent of the damage and who are willing to repair rather than replace—if that’s what your roof really needs.

Why Timely Wind Damage Repairs Matter

Delaying roof repairs after a windstorm can lead to much bigger issues down the line. Here’s why acting quickly is important:

Prevents water from infiltrating and damaging structural elements
Keeps your insulation and drywall dry
Helps avoid mold or mildew buildup in the attic
May help with insurance claims by showing proactive maintenance
Extends the lifespan of your roof and surrounding materials

Even if you’re not sure whether damage occurred, a post-storm inspection gives you peace of mind and helps catch issues early.

How strong does the wind have to be to damage a roof?

Wind speeds over 45 mph can start lifting shingles. Gusts over 60–70 mph are strong enough to cause more visible damage—especially on older or worn roofs.

Can I inspect my roof myself after a windstorm?

You can look for missing shingles or debris from the ground, but climbing on the roof is not recommended. Many issues, like lifted shingle edges or flashing problems, require close inspection by a roofing professional.

What does wind-lifted shingle damage look like?

Lifted shingles may not be torn off, but they’ve been peeled back enough to break the adhesive seal. This lets water and future wind get under the shingle. A roofer can test for lift even if the shingles look flat.

Will my insurance go up if I file a wind damage claim?

Not necessarily. Wind is considered an “act of nature,” and many insurance companies won’t raise your rates for a single storm-related claim. However, this depends on your provider and policy.

Is wind damage always covered by my homeowner’s insurance?

Most standard policies cover wind damage, but it’s important to report the issue promptly. Coverage may be limited for very old roofs or for damage that was left unrepaired.

How long do wind repairs typically take?

Small repairs, such as shingle or flashing replacements, may be completed in a few hours. Larger repairs involving structural elements or widespread roof sections can take a day or more depending on complexity.
