Roof Repair & Storm Damage Replacement in Florence

Look, I’ve been replacing roofs out here for over fifteen years, and I can tell you Florence doesn’t get lucky when it comes to spring storms. We sit right in that sweet spot where the dry line from the west slams into the humid Gulf air rolling up from the southeast, and that collision happens almost directly over Williamson County. That means we get those supercell thunderstorms that pop up out of nowhere around March through June, and they don’t just bring rain—they bring hail the size of golf balls and straight-line winds that’ll peel shingles right off your deck. The geography doesn’t help either; we’re surrounded by open ranchland and rolling hills with no big tree lines or bluffs to break up the wind, so a storm that’s just a bad thunderstorm in Georgetown can turn into a freight train by the time it hits our side of the county.

And here’s the thing that catches folks off guard—it’s not just the big spring storms you have to worry about. We get those sneaky October and November cold fronts that stall out over the Hill Country, and they’ll sit there and spin for hours, dropping marble-sized hail that doesn’t look scary but beats the tar out of your asphalt. Plus, with all that wide-open exposure, the wind doesn’t have to be a tornado to do damage; a 60-mile-an-hour gust hitting a roof that’s already baked in 100-degree Texas sun for five years is enough to lift those tabs and let the next rainstorm get underneath. I’ve seen brand-new roofs in Florence get totaled by a storm that barely made a dent in houses just ten miles east, because our roofs are the first thing those angry clouds hit before they weaken. That’s why I always tell my customers here—if you hear thunder, you better check your gutters for granules the next morning, because this town is a hail magnet, plain and simple.
