Romayor Forensic Weather & Hail Impact Report

Look, I’ve been roofing here for over twenty years, and if there’s one thing I can tell you about Romayor, it’s that we’re sitting right in the bullseye of some of the nastiest spring weather in Texas. You’ve got the Trinity River bottomlands to the south and east, and that thick piney woods canopy all around us. That combination acts like a natural funnel for those supercell storms that roll up from the Gulf. They’ll come barreling through here in April and May, and the geography just seems to squeeze them, tightening that rotation and turning what might be a plain thunderstorm elsewhere into a hail-throwing monster. I’ve pulled shingles off roofs out here that looked like they’d been shot with a shotgun, and it’s not because the materials were bad—it’s because we get those big, dense hailstones, sometimes the size of golf balls or bigger, falling straight down at a hundred miles an hour.

And it’s not just the hail, it’s the wind that comes with it. Those same storms that drop the ice will suddenly shift and send straight-line winds screaming through the river bottoms, and there’s nothing to break them up. You don’t have hills or tall buildings to deflect that gust front, just open pasture and scattered oaks. So when a storm hits, the wind hits your roof flat and hard, lifting those shingle edges and peeling them back like a sardine can. Then, to make it worse, we’ll get a second wave in the fall—those late September and October fronts that stall right over us and just sit there, dropping rain and wind for days. By the time winter rolls around, your roof has already taken two solid beatings, and that’s when the leaks start showing up in the living room ceiling. It’s not a matter of *if* you’ll need a repair out here, it’s a matter of *when*—and I’d rather you call me before the water does.
