What Our Emergency & Storm Damage Service Includes
Storm Damage Repair
San Antonio storms do not discriminate - they peel back ridge caps in Stone Oak, lift flashing in Monte Vista, and drive rain under compromised valleys in King William. our Emergency & Storm Damage in San Antonio repair process means finding every point of entry, not just the obvious hole, and sealing the envelope before rot sets into your rafters. Our crews photo-document the full roof plane so you see what we see, and we back every repair with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Emergency Tarp
An emergency tarp is a temporary roof, not a trash bag held down with bricks. When a tree limb or wind gust opens your roof to the sky, we measure the breach, secure a weather-rated polyethylene or reinforced vinyl tarp over the damaged area, and anchor it to undamaged structure so it survives the next band of storms. In San Antonio’s spring supercell season, our Emergency & Storm Damage in Kirby crews know a proper tarp can mean the difference between a repair and a full replacement.
Insurance Claims
Most San Antonio homeowners have never filed a roof claim, and the paperwork can feel like a second job. We walk you through it: we photograph the damage, write a detailed scope of work, and meet your adjuster on-site to make sure nothing gets missed. Our estimates use Xactimate pricing, the same software most carriers use, so the numbers align and you are not left negotiating alone.
Wind Damage
South Texas wind events can lift shingles that looked fine from the driveway, leaving nail holes and broken seals that leak months later. We inspect ridge lines, valleys, and eaves - the places wind stress concentrates - and we check for creased or torn shingles that a casual glance will miss. Caught early, wind damage in San Antonio is often repairable; ignored, it voids manufacturer warranties and invites interior damage.
Hail Damage
Hail bruises asphalt shingles, cracks tile, and dents metal panels in ways that are not always visible from the ground. In San Antonio, hailstorms favor certain corridors - the I-10 corridor toward Boerne, the 1604 loop, pockets of the North Side - and we know the local patterns because we have worked them for four decades. We mark every hail hit, measure the density, and give you documentation that holds up with insurers and manufacturers alike.
Tree Damage
When a live oak or pecan limb comes through your roof, the damage is rarely limited to the impact point. We remove the limb safely, inspect the decking and trusses for hidden fracture, and rebuild from the structure up if needed. Our crews carry the tools to secure the opening immediately and the skills to restore the roof system properly, not just patch the hole.

Brands We Service for Emergency & Storm Damage
We are an authorized installer for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, and that authorization matters when storm damage strikes. Manufacturers honor their warranties only when repairs and replacements are performed by contractors they have vetted and trained. We have serviced hundreds of GAF Timberline and CertainTeed Landmark systems in the San Antonio area, and we stock common GAF and CertainTeed accessories so matching repairs do not require a two-week order delay. Whether your roof is GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, or any other make, we can source the right materials and install them to manufacturer specification.
Our Owens Corning experience runs deep on the older ranch homes of Terrell Hills and Alamo Heights, where Duration and Oakridge shingles are common. We also work with Boral clay and concrete tile on the Spanish-influenced homes of the Monte Vista and Olmos Park neighborhoods, where a storm-damaged tile roof demands a crew that understands mortar-set versus mechanical-fastened systems. No matter the brand on your roof, we document the product line, verify availability, and never substitute without your written approval.
Signs You Need Emergency & Storm Damage Right Now
- Water staining or active dripping inside the home. A brown spot on the ceiling means water has already traveled through insulation, decking, and drywall. In San Antonio’s humid climate, mold follows within 48 to 72 hours. Do not wait for the stain to spread - call for an emergency tarp and inspection immediately.
- Visible shingle debris in the yard or gutter downspouts. If pieces of asphalt, granules, or tile fragments are on the ground, your roof’s protective layer is compromised. Even a few missing shingles create a funnel for wind-driven rain, and the next storm will exploit the gap.
- Dented or punctured metal flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights. Flashing is the seal between roof penetrations and the weather. Hail dents crack solder joints, and wind loosens the counter-flashing that keeps water out. Failed flashing leaks before shingle damage shows.
- Sagging or daylight visible through the roof deck from the attic. This indicates structural compromise - a broken rafter, saturated decking, or a hole that has gone unaddressed. It is a safety hazard and a clear signal that temporary protection and structural assessment are needed now.
- Neighbors reporting roof damage after the same storm. In San Antonio, hail and wind damage is rarely isolated to one property. If homes on your block are calling roofers, your roof likely took the same hit. Early inspection protects your claim timeline and prevents secondary damage.
Our Emergency & Storm Damage Process - Step by Step
- 1
Live answer and rapid dispatch. When you call (833) 756-5022, a live person answers - no voicemail, no callback queue. We gather your address, the nature of the damage, and dispatch the nearest available crew. Most San Antonio homeowners see a technician within two to four hours during daylight, and we prioritize active leaks and structural breaches.
- 2
On-site safety assessment and temporary protection. Our technician arrives in uniform, introduces themselves, and inspects the damage from the ground and the roof. If water is entering the home, we install an emergency tarp or temporary seal before anything else. Your belongings come first.
- 3
Photo-documented inspection and damage mapping. We photograph every affected area - shingle condition, flashing integrity, decking exposure, gutter damage, and interior evidence. You receive these photos, not a verbal summary in the driveway. This documentation supports your insurance claim and our repair scope.
- 4
Written estimate with upfront pricing. The number on our estimate is the number on the invoice. We break out labor, materials, and any structural repairs separately so you understand what you are paying for. No surprises, no escalation after work begins.
- 5
Repair or replacement with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. We schedule work at your convenience, complete most repairs in a single visit, and leave the site clean. If anything is not right - a nail pop, a seal that fails, a detail we missed - we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no runaround.
How Much Does Emergency & Storm Damage Cost in San Antonio?
Emergency tarp service in San Antonio typically runs $200-$500 depending on roof pitch, accessibility, and the size of the damaged area. A localized storm damage repair - replacing wind-lifted shingles, resealing flashing, or patching a small breach - generally falls between $350 and $1,200. More extensive hail or tree damage requiring decking replacement, structural repair, and partial reroofing can range from $2,500 to $8,000 or more, depending on square footage and material selection.
Several factors move the price. Steep roofs above 6:12 pitch require additional safety equipment and labor time. Tile and slate systems cost more to repair than standard asphalt shingles because of material price and the specialized handling they demand. Structural damage to rafters or trusses adds carpentry work that a simple shingle swap does not. And accessibility matters - a two-story home in Terrell Hills with mature oak canopy may need a crane or specialized lift that a single-story ranch in Leon Valley does not.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a detailed, written scope before work begins, and to verify that your contractor is authorized by the manufacturer whose product is on your roof. Storm chasers often quote low, use non-matching materials, and vanish. We provide no-hassle upfront pricing, and our estimates are free. Call (833) 756-5022 for an exact quote on your specific situation.
