Storm Damage Restoration

DFW's Trusted Storm Restoration Team

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex sits in one of the most active severe weather corridors in the United States. Every spring and summer, powerful supercell thunderstorms sweep across North Texas, producing large hail, damaging straight-line winds, and occasional tornadoes. These storms can devastate roofing systems in a matter of minutes.

When storm damage strikes your home or business, you need a roofing contractor who can respond quickly, assess damage accurately, and guide you through the restoration process from start to finish. Greenleaf Roofing has been the DFW area's trusted storm restoration partner since 2013, helping thousands of homeowners and business owners recover from storm events.

Our storm restoration process is designed to make a stressful situation as simple and transparent as possible. From the initial inspection to the final cleanup, we handle every detail so you can focus on your family and your life.

Types of Storm Damage We Restore

North Texas storms produce multiple types of damage, each requiring different assessment techniques and repair approaches. Our inspectors are trained to identify all forms of storm damage on every type of roofing system.

Hail Damage

Hail is the most common and destructive weather threat to DFW roofs. Hailstones can range from pea-sized to softball-sized during severe Texas thunderstorms. Even moderate hail events with stones of 1 inch or larger can cause significant damage to asphalt shingles, cracking the mat, dislodging granules, and compromising the shingle's ability to shed water.

Hail damage to asphalt shingles often appears as random dark spots where granules have been knocked away, exposing the underlying asphalt. On metal roofing, hail creates dents and dimples. On tile, it can crack or shatter individual tiles. Our inspectors know exactly what to look for on every type of roofing material.

Wind Damage

Severe thunderstorms in DFW regularly produce straight-line winds exceeding 60 mph, with some events producing gusts over 80 mph. These winds can lift, crease, and tear asphalt shingles from the roof deck, break the seal bond between shingle tabs, and peel back flashing at edges and penetrations.

Wind damage is often most severe along the edges and ridges of the roof, where wind uplift forces are greatest. Damage may also occur in valleys and around penetrations where wind turbulence concentrates. Missing shingles are obvious, but creased or lifted shingles that remain in place are equally compromised and will lead to leaks.

Debris & Fallen Tree Damage

High winds frequently send tree limbs, branches, and other debris onto rooftops during storms. Even moderate-sized branches can puncture roofing materials, crack decking, damage flashing, and crush gutters. Large tree strikes can cause structural damage to the roof framing that requires emergency stabilization and repair.

After a storm with significant tree debris, it is critical to have the roof inspected even if there are no visible signs of damage from the ground. Impact damage from falling branches can compromise the roof's integrity in ways that are not immediately apparent.

Our Storm Restoration Process

We have refined our storm restoration process over years of serving DFW homeowners to ensure every step is handled professionally and efficiently.

Step 1: Free Storm Damage Inspection

Within 24 to 48 hours of a storm event, one of our experienced inspectors will perform a thorough assessment of your roof. We climb the roof, document every area of damage with detailed photographs, and inspect the attic for signs of moisture intrusion. Our inspection is always free, and there is absolutely no obligation.

Step 2: Insurance Claim Filing

If our inspection reveals storm damage that warrants an insurance claim, we help you file the claim with your insurance carrier. We provide you with a complete damage report including photos and a detailed scope of the damage to submit with your claim. Our team understands the claims process inside and out.

Step 3: Adjuster Meeting

When your insurance company sends an adjuster to inspect the damage, a Greenleaf Roofing representative will be on-site to walk the roof with them. Having a knowledgeable roofing professional present during the adjuster's inspection ensures that all damage is identified and documented. This step is critical, as adjusters working alone frequently miss damage that our team identifies.

Step 4: Material Selection & Scheduling

Once your claim is approved, we help you select the roofing materials for your new roof. You will have the opportunity to choose from multiple shingle brands, colors, and styles. We then schedule your installation at a time that works for your family. Most residential storm restoration projects are completed in one to two days.

Step 5: Professional Installation

Our crews perform a complete tear-off of the damaged roofing, inspect and repair the decking as needed, install new underlayment and ice-and-water shield at all vulnerable areas, and install your new roof system to manufacturer specifications. We use only premium materials and follow best practices for North Texas weather conditions.

Step 6: Final Inspection & Supplement

After installation, we perform a final quality inspection and document the completed project with photos. If the adjuster's initial estimate missed damage that was only discoverable during tear-off (rotted decking, damaged flashing, etc.), we file a supplement with your insurance company to cover the additional work. We handle all paperwork on your behalf.

The DFW Storm Belt

Understanding the severe weather risk in DFW helps you make informed decisions about your roofing system and insurance coverage.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is located in one of the most hail-prone regions in the world. North Texas experiences an average of 5 to 8 significant hail events per year, with major damaging hail events (2 inches or larger) occurring every 2 to 3 years across the metro area.

The spring severe weather season in DFW typically runs from March through June, with April and May being the peak months. During this period, warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with dry air from the west and cold air from the north, creating the volatile atmospheric conditions that produce the supercell thunderstorms responsible for large hail and damaging winds.

Cities across the metroplex including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Garland, Wylie, Prosper, Celina, and virtually every community in Collin, Denton, and Dallas counties are regularly impacted by these storms.

The financial impact is staggering. North Texas consistently ranks among the top metro areas in the United States for hail damage insurance claims, with total insured losses frequently exceeding $1 billion in particularly active storm years.

This is why choosing the right roofing contractor after storm damage is so important. You need a local company that understands the DFW climate, has relationships with the insurance carriers that serve this market, and will be here to stand behind their work when the next storm hits.

Greenleaf Roofing has been rooted in the DFW community since 2013. We are not a storm-chasing company that appears after a major hail event and disappears a few months later. We are your neighbors, and we will be here to serve you for years to come.
