Roof Repair & Storm Damage Replacement in Mound

Look, I’ve been replacing roofs out here for over fifteen years, and Mound gets hit harder than folks realize. It’s that open, rolling prairie terrain we sit on—there’s nothing to break up the wind. When a supercell rolls through from the southwest, it comes across those flat fields with zero friction, so the gusts don’t slow down one bit. That’s why we see straight-line winds that’ll peel shingles right off a ridge, and those hailstones get whipped sideways at 60, 70 miles an hour. It’s not just the big golf-ball stuff either—even the dime-sized hail, when it’s driven by that kind of wind, hits like a hammer on a nail. Your roof takes a beating from two directions at once, and that’s what really tears up the asphalt.

And the timing is the sneaky part. Our worst storms aren’t just in spring—we get a nasty second season in late October and November when those cold fronts slam into the warm, humid air still hanging around from the Gulf. That’s when we see those slow-moving, training thunderstorms that just sit over the same spot and drop hail for twenty minutes straight. I’ve pulled up to houses where the north side looks like a moonscape and the south side is fine, because the storm stalled right over that one ridge. Plus, with all the oak and pecan trees we’ve got, a windstorm can drop a heavy limb right on a valley or a chimney, and that’s a whole different kind of damage. So when you hear a warning siren, it’s not just about the rain—it’s about what that sky is about to throw at your shingles.
