Wind Damage Roof Repair in Leander, TX
When high wind peels shingles off your roof or lifts the ridge, we secure it fast and put it back tight, working from our Leander shop and out across TX, every repair backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
Shingles gone? We make the roof tight again
Central Texas wind does its damage at the edges first. It catches the lip of a shingle, peels the tab back, and once it has a grip it rips whole sections loose and sails them into the yard. What it leaves behind is bare felt, exposed nails, and a ridge that no longer seals. We come look, find every spot the wind opened up, and get the roof closed back in before the next front rolls through.
Then we do the repair the way it should be done. We do it the right way instead of trying to make a quick nickel, which on a wind job means matching new shingles or panels to what is already up there, re-nailing and sealing the tabs the wind loosened nearby, and re-setting the ridge caps so the top of your roof holds in the next gust instead of folding back.
Send us a few photos or just call, and you get a free roof quote with the wind damage spelled out in plain language and the repair laid out step by step.
Wind-lifted shingles, before repair
How we handle a wind-damaged roof
We secure the open roof fast
When wind has torn shingles off and bare deck is showing, the open spots cannot wait. We get a crew to your home, cover any exposed felt or decking, and tie down the loose material the wind already lifted so the next gust does not strip more off and so rain stays out while the full repair gets scheduled.
We walk the whole roof, not just the bare spot
Wind lifts shingles two and three rows past the bald patch you can see from the ground, breaking the seal even where the tab still lays flat. We walk the full roof, check the ridge and the rakes where wind hits hardest, look for popped nails, and photograph everything so you and your insurer see the real extent, not just the obvious hole.
The repair, done to hold
We replace the shingles or metal panels the wind took, re-nail and hand-seal the tabs it loosened nearby, re-set the ridge caps and hip caps, and re-flash any edge that lifted. A wind repair is only as good as how well the new work bonds to the old, so we seal it down instead of just laying it on top.
Cleanup and the warranty
We sweep the property with a magnet for the nails the wind scattered, haul off the torn-loose material, and hand you the lifetime workmanship warranty plus six years of annual weatherproofing so the repaired roof keeps getting checked long after the wind is forgotten.
What wind actually does to a Texas roof
Wind damage is sneakier than people think, because the dramatic part is only half of it. Everyone sees the bald patch where the wind ripped a row of shingles clean off and left the felt showing. What they miss is everything around it. Before a shingle blows away, the wind lifts it, cracks the factory seal that bonds it to the row below, and folds it back hard enough to crease the mat. When it drops back down it looks fine from the driveway, but the seal is broken and the next strong gust pulls it the rest of the way. So a roof that lost six shingles in a storm usually has thirty or forty more that are no longer holding, sitting there waiting for the next front. That is why we never just patch the bald spot and leave.

Why we walk the whole roofThe other place wind goes after is the ridge and the rake edges, the high lines of the roof where it pushes hardest. Ridge caps and hip caps take the brunt of it, and once a cap lifts, water and wind both get under the top of the roof, which is the worst place to spring a leak because everything below it is downhill. Popped or backed-out nails are part of the same story: wind flexes the deck and works fasteners loose, and a nail head that no longer sits tight becomes a slow leak and a weak spot all at once. We check the ridge, the rakes, and the nail line on every wind call, and we re-set and re-seal what the wind moved, not just what it removed.
Wind rarely travels alone in a Texas storm, so we keep the related crews working together. If the same storm bruised the roof with hail, our hail damage team documents the impact damage for your claim. The broader storm damage crew handles tarping and mixed wind-and-water repairs. When the wind took enough off that patching no longer makes sense, our storm restoration crew rebuilds the full roof, and we walk your insurance claim with you from the adjuster meeting through the final invoice.
Built right, then stood behind
A wind repair you cannot trust is worse than no repair at all, because a tab that was re-laid but never re-sealed looks done and blows off in the next storm. We are an OSHA-certified crew, so even on a fast wind call the work happens safely and to code, by people who set roofs for a living, not whoever was free that afternoon. When wind work touches the ventilation we follow our Lomanco-certified design, because re-setting a ridge is exactly where a poorly vented roof gets sealed up wrong.
Every wind repair carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, so the quality of what we put back is covered for as long as you own the roof. On top of that we include six years of weatherproofing done annually, where we come back, re-check the tabs, ridge caps and sealant we touched, and re-bond anything the wind has started to work loose again before it lets go. That is how a relationship outlasts a single storm, and it is the part the storm-chaser outfits skip the day after the check clears.
Wind damage questions
Straight answers about blown-off shingles, lifted ridges, timing and insurance. If yours is not here, call (432) 288-5562 or send it through our contact page.
The wind blew shingles off my roof, what do I do first?
Call us at (432) 288-5562 and tell us how much came off. If bare deck or felt is showing, we get a crew out to secure the open area so rain stays out and the next gust does not strip more. Then we schedule the full repair. Try to grab a couple photos from the ground before you call, they help us bring the right material.
How much wind does it take to damage a roof?
Less than most people expect. Gusts in the 45 to 60 mph range, common in a Central Texas storm, can lift and crack the seal on older or builder-grade shingles. You do not need a named storm to lose shingles. If a strong front came through and you see lifted tabs, missing pieces, or shingle bits in the yard, get it looked at.
Only a few shingles came off, can you just replace those?
We can, but we never stop there. The shingles you see gone are usually the start. Wind breaks the seal on many more shingles around the bald spot that still look fine but no longer hold. We check the whole roof, re-seal what the wind loosened, and replace what it took. Patching only the bare patch leaves the next storm an easy way back in.
Should I file an insurance claim for wind damage?
Often, yes, if the wind took real shingle coverage off or lifted the ridge. We inspect and photograph the damage the way an adjuster needs to see it and walk the claim with you. We will also tell you straight when the damage is small enough that a claim is not worth the deductible, because doing it the right way means not pushing you into one you do not need.
My ridge cap lifted in the wind, is that a big deal?
Yes. The ridge is the highest line of the roof, so a lifted cap lets wind and water under the very top, and everything below it is downhill from the leak. It is one of the spots we always check on a wind call. We re-set and re-seal the ridge and hip caps so the top of your roof holds in the next gust instead of folding back again.
