Were You Hit by the San Antonio Storm? Schedule a Storm Damage Roof Inspection Right Away
The first major storm of 2025 has hit the San Antonio area, this year striking the western side of town and leaving many homeowners faced with a significant hail damage repair or roof replacement. The storm system swept through Western San Antonio on the evening of March 31, 2025.
This storm brought large, damaging 1-2” sized hail along with strong wind gusts reaching up to 60 mph and heavy downpours. All of this was a recipe for significant damage to roofs and properties throughout the area.
If you live in San Antonio, we hope your roof emerged unscathed and your family safe—but a storm damage inspection is an important step to ensure your property remains in good condition. Take steps now to book an inspection, as roofers’ calendars are already beginning to fill up.
How Do I Know If My Property Is Damaged?
Completing a roof inspection is best left to the experts. That said, there are a few signs of hail and wind damage that you can identify yourself. Walk around your property and see if damage was left to your outdoor living areas, as this is an indication of potential roof damage.
If you notice any of these signs of damage, it’s even more important to contact a roofing professional immediately.
- Cracked or broken shingles
- Loose or crooked shingles
- Dark spots on your roof where asphalt granules are missing
- Loose granules on the ground around your roofline
- Dents in flashing, AC units, and other metal features
- Cracks or dents in your home’s siding
We’ve covered the signs of a hail-damaged roof in more detail in this blog post. If you notice any of these issues, it likely means your roof has been damaged and is now vulnerable to further issues.
Why Schedule a Storm Damage Roof Inspection in San Antonio?
If your roof has been damaged by hail or a major storm, time is of the essence. Any damage to your roof creates vulnerabilities. Even seemingly minor hail damage can be a major problem if left unaddressed for long periods of time.
The deterioration of granules on the surface of your roof leaves the underlying part of the shingle exposed to the elements, while cracked, broken, or missing shingles leaves an opening for water to penetrate through to the underlying layers of your roofing system.
In most cases, hail damage will be difficult to spot from the ground. This means it’s essential to call a professional roofer to complete a thorough storm damage inspection, not just for hail damage on your roof but for any potential storm damage. An inspection will determine whether repairs or a replacement is necessary.
