Roof Repair & Storm Damage Replacement in Falls City

Look, I’ve been roofing here in Falls City for over twenty years, and I can tell you firsthand that our little corner of South Texas sits right in Mother Nature’s crosshairs. We’re smack in the middle of what meteorologists call “Hail Alley,” but it’s not just the frequency—it’s the size. Those springtime supercells that roll in off the Edwards Plateau don’t mess around; they’ll drop golf-ball and even baseball-sized stones that hit your shingles like a thousand tiny hammers. And because we’re surrounded by open ranchland and farmland, there’s nothing to break up that wind. A storm can barrel across those flat fields for fifty miles without losing an ounce of punch, so by the time it hits your roof, those gusts are easily hitting 60 to 80 miles an hour, lifting shingles and driving rain right up underneath them.

What makes it even trickier is our storm season. We get a double whammy—those violent spring thunderstorms in April and May, and then again in the fall, usually September and October, when the humidity clashes with cold fronts. That’s when the hail really flies. I’ve seen roofs that looked fine from the street, but when I get up there, the granules are scoured off like sandpaper, and the matting is cracked and brittle. The wind does the rest, peeling back corners and leaving the decking exposed. It’s not a matter of *if* your roof will take a hit, it’s a matter of *when*, and I’d rather you know that now than after the next big one rolls through.
