Roof Repair & Storm Damage Replacement in Muldoon

Look, I’ve been replacing roofs out here for over fifteen years, and I can tell you Muldoon gets hammered in a way most folks don’t expect until it’s too late. We sit right in that corridor where the Gulf moisture collides with the dry line coming off the Hill Country, and that’s a recipe for supercell thunderstorms that just park overhead. Unlike Austin or San Antonio where the storms tend to move through, our low, rolling terrain and the open pastureland actually let the wind wrap around the storms without anything to break it up. So when a cell fires up west of us and starts spinning, we get those straight-line gusts that hit 70 or 80 miles an hour, and the hail isn’t those little pea-sized pellets—it’s often golf ball or bigger, falling at an angle because of that wind. That combination is brutal on asphalt shingles because the wind lifts the edges, and then the hail slams into the exposed underlayer, which is exactly where you get those hidden leaks that show up months later.

And it’s not just one bad day a year—we get two distinct seasons for this. The first is in the spring, usually March through May, when the warm, humid air starts pushing north and the jet stream is still dipping down. That’s when we see the big, slow-moving hailers that drop an inch of ice in twenty minutes. Then, right around September and October, we get the second round when the heat of summer meets the first cool fronts, and those can be even nastier because the ground is still baking, which creates more instability. I’ve seen homes in Muldoon get hit three times in a single year, and the sad part is, most insurance adjusters will tell you the first storm did cosmetic damage, but it’s the second or third one that finally punches through the decking. So if you’ve got a roof that’s older than ten years, or you’ve noticed a few loose granules in the gutter, don’t wait for the next big one—because out here, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.
