Storm Damage Roof Repair in Fort Worth, TX
Free inspections after hail and wind storms, with your property secured and help documenting the damage for your insurance claim.
High Pointe was founded in Fort Worth in 1996 with an emphasis on re-roofing and storm damage assessment, and we have performed thousands of post-storm property inspections. If your home or business has been damaged by hail, wind or fallen debris, we can help.
Homeowners often forget about a storm once it passes, but storm damage can lead to problems that do not show up until long after the storm. After a storm, a High Pointe representative will perform a complete inspection of your property at no cost to you.

If there is a hole in your roof, broken glass or wind-damaged fencing, we will secure your property and apply tarps or plastic coverings to reduce further water damage. We can also help you report your claim, make a list of damaged items and gather the most recent storm data for your property.
Our storm damage assessment covers the whole property, including the roof, gutters, soft metal components, fencing, painted surfaces, glass, awnings and deck and patio surfaces. Once the claim is settled, we can repair or replace your roof and take care of the other storm damage on the same project.

FAQs
Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQs
How soon after a storm should I call?
As soon as you can. Insurance policies have deadlines for filing a claim, and damage that is left alone can get worse. The inspection is free.
Should I tarp the roof myself?
Only in an emergency. Applying a tarp should be done by a roofing professional, and we will secure your property with tarps or plastic coverings to reduce further damage.
Can storm damage be repaired, or does the roof need to be replaced?
It depends on how much damage there is. Most hail damage to shingles is cosmetic, while severe granule loss or cracked and punctured shingles may need to be replaced. We will explain what we find after the inspection.
What should I look for after a storm?
Dents in gutters, downspouts and vents, shingle granules collecting at the downspouts, broken glass and damaged fencing are common signs. Please stay off the roof and call us for a free inspection.
