Replacing Your Roof After Storms: What to Know

Published On: September 19, 2025

Storm damage is a fact of life for many homeowners in Stephenville, TX. High winds, hail, and heavy rain can take a major toll on your roof—and sometimes repairs just aren’t enough. When damage is widespread or your roof is near the end of its lifespan, replacement becomes the best solution. At DT Roofing, we help homeowners navigate roof replacement after storm events with expert guidance and dependable service.

When Is Roof Replacement Necessary After a Storm?

Not all storm damage calls for full replacement, but certain conditions make it the most cost-effective and safest option:

  • Extensive shingle loss or granule wear
  • Structural damage to decking or underlayment
  • Recurring leaks despite past repairs
  • Multiple insurance claims within a few years
  • Age of the roof (15+ years)

An experienced roofing professional can perform a detailed inspection to help you determine if repairs are sufficient or if replacement is needed.

Insurance Considerations

Roof damage from storms is often covered by homeowners insurance. However, the claims process can be complex. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Document all visible damage with photos
  • Schedule an inspection from a licensed roofing contractor
  • File your claim promptly to avoid delays
  • Be present during your adjuster’s visit if possible

At DT Roofing, we work directly with insurance adjusters and can assist with the documentation and communication to ensure you get the coverage you deserve.

Choosing the Right Roofing Materials

A storm-damaged roof is an opportunity to upgrade. Consider investing in more resilient, energy-efficient materials, such as:

  • Impact-resistant shingles that hold up better against hail
  • Metal roofing for enhanced durability and lifespan
  • Reflective materials that reduce heat absorption

As an Owens Corning certified installer, DT Roofing offers a range of high-performance products backed by industry-leading warranties.
