Roof Repair & Storm Damage Replacement in Manor

Look, I’ve been replacing roofs out here for over fifteen years, and if there’s one thing I tell every homeowner in Manor, it’s that you’re sitting right in the bullseye of Texas’s worst weather. We’re smack in the middle of that corridor between Austin and the Hill Country, and when those spring storms roll in off the Balcones Escarpment, they don’t just sprinkle—they explode. That rocky, uneven terrain to the west acts like a ramp, forcing warm, humid air straight up into the colder jet stream. The result? Supercell thunderstorms that pop up out of nowhere, usually between March and June, with hail the size of golf balls or bigger. I’ve pulled shingles off homes that looked like someone took a shotgun to them, and it’s not just the impact—it’s the sheer volume. One storm can drop thousands of ice pellets on a single roof, and each one is a tiny hammer.

And it’s not just the hail—the wind is the sneaky killer. Because Manor sits on that open, flat prairie land east of the city, there’s absolutely nothing to break up the gusts. When those same storms mature, they produce straight-line winds that can hit 70 or 80 miles an hour, and they come at your roof from every angle, not just one direction. That’s what lifts shingles, tears off flashing, and exposes the underlayment. Then, to make it worse, we get those violent late-summer and early-fall cold fronts that clash with lingering Gulf moisture, bringing another round of severe weather right when you thought you were safe. So between the spring hailers and the fall wind events, your roof takes a beating twice a year, every year. It’s not a matter of *if* you’ll need repairs—it’s a matter of *when*, and I’d rather you hear it from me now than after the next big one rolls through.
