Listen and inspect
We ask what you have noticed and examine shingles, flashing, and all roof vents. Where accessible, we inspect the decking from inside the attic. We walk the roof when conditions allow safe access.

Storm damage · Greater Houston
Know what happened.
Understand what comes next.
You don’t have to decide whether you need a new roof before calling us. Start with what you have noticed: debris in the yard, marks on soft metals, damaged shingles, or a new ceiling stain.
At Holy Hammer, we inspect the roof, document damage with photos, and provide an estimate for the recommended work. If a repair is a practical solution, we’ll explain it. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll show you why.

Signs worth having checked.
After a high-wind storm
Look from the ground for large debris, fallen branches, or shingles in your yard. These are clues that your property may have experienced damaging winds.
After hail
Look for dents in gutter downspouts, the outdoor AC unit’s metal casing, or other exposed soft metals. Marks or streaks on window screens and fences, along with chipped window glazing beads—the trim holding the glass in place—can also be clues.
These signs don’t prove the roof is damaged, but they’re worth documenting and having checked. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. We photograph our findings so you can understand the roof’s condition and your options.
A dry ceiling is not the whole picture
Storm damage can appear before a leak.
Moderate storm damage may not cause an immediate leak. Your roof can still shed water even when shingles or other roofing components have been damaged, and a leak may not appear until later.
If you’ve noticed signs of hail or wind damage around your property, a roof inspection can help identify problems before water enters your home.
Does it leak only during certain storms?
Tell us when the water appears. One possible source is a roof vent that sheds downward rain but admits rain driven by strong winds. That doesn’t automatically mean the vent is the cause.
We inspect the relevant roof details and accessible attic area to investigate where the water is entering.
From inspection to an informed decision
Here’s how we help.
Document the findings
We explain the roof’s condition using photographs and an inspection report. We distinguish what we can observe from areas that need further investigation.
Provide an estimate
You receive an estimate for the recommended work. We explain whether repairs, monitoring, or replacement are appropriate, and you decide how to proceed.
Roofing documentation for your insurer
You can share what we find.
Homeowners insurance may cover roof repairs or replacement when damage results from a covered event, such as hail or wind. Normal wear, aging, and maintenance issues generally aren’t covered.
Coverage and payment depend on your policy, deductible, and the cause and extent of the damage. You can share our inspection photos and estimate with your insurance company.
Clear boundaries. Useful information.
Holy Hammer documents roof damage and estimates the roofing work. We do not act as your adjuster or promise claim approval.
For policy or coverage questions, contact your insurer. The Texas Department of Insurance’s roof insurance guide is another useful starting point.
Your home. Your time. Your decision.
Help when you ask for it.
I’m a family man, and I value my time with my family. I respect yours, too. I won’t knock on your door to sell you a solution to a problem you didn’t ask about.
When you reach out to Holy Hammer, we’ll listen, inspect your roof, and explain what we find. You’ll get straightforward information and the space to decide what’s right for your home—without sales pressure.

Storm damage questions
A few answers before you call.
Could my roof have storm damage even if it isn’t leaking?
Yes. Moderate storm damage may not cause an immediate leak. Your roof can still shed water even when shingles or other roofing components have been damaged, and a leak may not appear until later.
A dry ceiling doesn’t necessarily mean the roof is undamaged. If you’ve noticed signs of hail or wind damage around your property, a roof inspection can help identify problems before water enters your home.
At Holy Hammer, we document our findings with photos and explain whether repairs, monitoring, or replacement are appropriate.

How much does a roof leak repair cost in the Houston area?
Holy Hammer has a $300 service minimum, which also includes full roof maintenance. The final repair cost depends on the source of the leak, roof access, materials needed, and the extent of any underlying damage.
A localized repair may be straightforward, while problems involving flashing, rotten decking, or multiple leak sources can require more extensive work. We inspect the roof and explain the recommended repairs and pricing before work begins.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth the extra cost?
We often recommend considering Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. In addition to their impact resistance, they may qualify for a homeowners insurance discount. Those premium savings can help offset—and potentially recover—the additional installation cost over time.
The discount depends on your insurance company, policy, and chosen roofing product. Before deciding, ask your insurer to confirm eligibility, the estimated annual savings, and any required documentation. That lets you compare the upgrade cost with the potential savings.
Impact-resistant doesn’t mean hail-proof, so a roof inspection may still be needed after a severe storm.
