Assessing Your Roof's Readiness for Storm Season

How Can I Prepare My Roof For Storm Season?

Published On: April 29, 2022

It’s officially storm season.

If you live in North Texas, you know we’ve already experienced several powerful storms and the season has only just begun. There are more storms to come, bringing high winds, hail, and even tornadoes. That sort of unpredictability can be overwhelming–particularly for homeowners.

One of the biggest questions we get asked this time of year is this: How can I know my roof is ready for storm season?

It’s a great question, and one every homeowner should ask. At DT Roofing, we believe that while there’s no way to fully prevent damage from unpredictable Texas weather, there are a few things you can do to make sure you’re as prepared as possible.

How do I know if my roof is ready?

First and foremost, call a reputable roofing company to inspect your roof.

When you call DT Roofing, we’ll come to your home for free and inspect for any damage or failures in your roof. This will ensure that your roof will be up for the harsh conditions storm season tends to bring.

Secondly: document, document, document.

A good company (hint: we’re talking about DT Roofing here) will document any issues with your roof with photos. That way you’ll have evidence of the condition of your roof before storms come through. Why does this matter? Because once the storm hits, it will be nearly impossible to prove to an insurance company what is old damage versus new.  If there’s any question after the storms come through you have new damage, the pictures will help.

At DT Roofing, we believe in preparedness. That’s why we offer free inspections. It’s also why insurance companies trust us. We don’t play games. We don’t lie. We just make sure that you’re getting the coverage you need and that your roof is in tip-top shape all year long.

Let us help.

If you suspect damage to your roof, or if you’re simply wanting to ensure that you’re fully prepared for Texas storms, give us a call today. We’d be honored to partner with you. Because at DT Roofing, we’ve got you covered.

I contacted DT Roofing after a satellite dish pulled a section of the roof up when the high winds blew it down. Parker Nelson came out, evaluated the damage, and came up with an estimate. He sat down and explained the whole process, the benefits of using DT Roofing instead of other roofers. His presentation and DT Roofing folder were full of important information outlining the company's awards, liability insurance, and material warranties. Upon inspection of the roof, Parker identified the roof had significant damage. He recommended contacting the insurance company to get them to inspect it. There was NO pressure ever, only assistance walking through the process. The insurance adjuster actually had more concerns than Parker mentioned. The adjuster stated the roof needed to be replaced. So that is what DT Roofing did for me. Every step of the way, everything Parker explained would happen, was exactly as he stated. DT Roofing crew did an excellent job protecting my property from damage during the install and Parker came back after the install to inspect (also around multiple times during install to supervise) my new roof and my satisfaction with the cleanup. The roof is beautiful, I also had gutters installed. I love them also, just another example of the quality of DT Roofing. Thank you, Parker and DT Roofing.

DT Roofing has been my go-to company for minor roof repairs and for a total roof replacement due to hail damage. Parker Nelson was the project manager for my roof replacement last month. He was in contact with me throughout the entire process. He worked with my insurance company to provide evidence of roof damage. He verified that all the work was done properly including the ancillary work (staining, painting, gutters, window screens). There were no surprise charges, and available upgrades were fully explained with no pressure to purchase. They even installed a higher grade of roof, which lowered my homeowner’s insurance premium. I cannot express the gratitude I have for Parker. He is just a good person, and that shined through in his dealings with me. Thank you, DT Roofing for a beautiful roof and for hiring people with integrity—like Parker.

Cannot say enough about the professionalism, and skill that DT posesses from the Project Manager on down to field installers. It was a pretty small roof as metal roofs go, but DT approached it as the most important project they had. Justin was great. He reacted to the upcoming rain and split the install schedule to make sure the work was done before the rains came. Miguel’s crew went right to work both days, and did a great job from start to finish. Finished 2 hours before the rains came and were very careful not to let the roof nails penetrate through the brand new 1/2” thick pine roof boards and be visible from the inside. Great job guys!

After the April tornado damage, I contacted DT Roofing, Justin Sherwood after a high recommendation by another family member. He assisted us with all roof replacement, gutters and metal replacement on my shop. I have never experienced a more thorough person to assist us during these repairs. We consider ourselves most fortunate that Justin was there for us. The expertise of the repairs is beyond reproach and completely supervised by Justin.

DT Roofing did an amazing job with my office renovation. Justin Sherwood made the process incredibly easy. His team took what I thought was going to be a stressful project and made it hustle free. Justin is a wealth of knowledge and has even helped with insurance questions. When I need help, Justin at DT Roofing will always be my first call!
