Recovering After the Storm
Recently, Corpus Christi experienced a powerful hail storm that left many homeowners inspecting their roofs for damage. While the storm has passed, the real concern often begins afterward — when hidden roof damage starts causing leaks, insulation problems, and long-term structural issues.
At Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing, we understand the stress homeowners feel after severe weather. Our goal is to help you take the right steps quickly, ensuring your home stays safe and your roof is restored with quality workmanship and care.
Assess the Storm’s Impact on Your Roof
Hail can cause serious but not always visible roof damage. Here’s what to look for:
- Dented or cracked shingles.
- Bruised spots where granules are missing.
- Soft or spongy areas when walking on the roof.
- Leaks or water stains inside your home or attic
Even minor hail damage can lead to leaks months later. That’s why a professional inspection is essential — not just a quick glance from the ground.
Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
After a hail storm, the safest and smartest move is to have your roof inspected by a trusted local roofing contractor.
At Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing, our inspection process includes:
- Checking for shingle bruising and hidden leaks
- Inspecting flashing, vents, and gutters
- Documenting damage for your insurance claim
We’ll give you a clear, honest assessment — never recommending unnecessary repairs or replacements.
File Your Insurance Claim Promptly
If you suspect hail damage, contact your insurance provider as soon as possible.
Here’s how to make the process smoother:
- Take photos of visible damage (if safe to do so)
- Keep receipts and records for any temporary fixes
- Have your roofer present during the adjuster’s inspection
Our team has worked with Corpus Christi homeowners and insurance adjusters for years. We can help ensure all legitimate hail damage is properly documented and covered.
Choose Quality Repairs or Replacement
Hail can weaken roofing materials even if leaks haven’t started yet. Depending on the severity of the damage, you may need roof repairs in Texas or a full roof replacement in Houston.
Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing uses only high-quality, impact-resistant materials designed for Texas weather. Whether asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or architectural shingles, we’ll make sure your new roof stands up to future storms.
Prevent Future Damage
You can’t stop hail, but you can prepare your home to handle it better:
- ➤ Schedule regular roof inspections — especially after major weather events
- ➤ Keep gutters clean and clear
- ➤ Trim nearby trees to prevent branch impact
- ➤ Consider upgrading to impact-resistant shingles
These proactive steps can help reduce damage and extend your roof’s lifespan.
