It's a common question. While debris is normal, signs of wind damage are more specific. Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges. Check for granules in your gutters or bald spots on shingles. Also, inspect your soffits and fascia for new dents or separations. If you see any of these issues, it's best to have a professional assessment, as hidden damage to the underlayment or decking can lead to bigger problems like rot. We offer free, detailed inspections to give you peace of mind.

Roof decking (or sheathing) is the wooden layer beneath your shingles. Rot often starts unseen when wind-driven rain exploits a small opening in the roof covering. Inside your attic, you might see dark stains, soft or spongy wood when gently probed, or a musty smell. In Georgetown, our combination of strong winds and humidity means even a minor breach can trap moisture against the decking, leading to rot. We identify and replace compromised sections to restore structural integrity before installing a new roof, preventing costly interior damage.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your existing roof. For localized wind damage on a relatively new roof, a precise repair that matches your existing materials is often perfectly effective and cost-efficient. However, if the damage is widespread, your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, or we find evidence of decking rot during our inspection, a full replacement may be the more reliable and economical long-term solution. We'll provide a transparent assessment and explain all your options, so you can make the best decision for your home.
