Storm Season? Here’s What Every Homeowner Should Do
As storm season approaches, your roof is the first line of defense against the elements. High winds, heavy rain, and hail can cause significant damage—not just to your roofing system, but to the entire structure of your home. Preparing in advance isn’t just smart; it’s essential.
At All Out Roofing, we’ve helped countless homeowners across Texas weather storms with confidence by taking proactive roofing steps. Here’s what we recommend every property owner do before the next storm rolls in.
1. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
The most effective way to prevent storm damage is by identifying existing vulnerabilities early. Even minor issues—like a lifted shingle or a small leak—can turn into major problems under the pressure of a storm.
What we look for during a pre-storm inspection:
Missing or damaged shingles
Loose flashing or fasteners
Clogged or damaged gutters
Signs of water infiltration in the attic or ceilings
Proper sealing around chimneys, skylights, and vents
At All Out Roofing, we offer complimentary pre-season inspections for local homeowners—call us today at 281-769-3738 to schedule yours.
2. Clear Gutters and Downspouts
Clogged gutters are a hidden hazard. When water can’t flow freely, it can back up under the roofline and cause rot, leaks, and even foundation damage. Ensure your gutters are clear of debris and securely fastened.
If you’re unsure about your drainage system, our team can assess and upgrade your guttering during your inspection.
3. Check for Tree Hazards
Overhanging limbs and nearby trees can be dangerous in high winds. Falling branches are a common cause of roof punctures and broken tiles. Trim back any vegetation that threatens your roofline, and inspect for trees that show signs of decay or instability.

4. Secure or Replace Loose Shingles and Flashing
Shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing expose your roof to leaks and structural damage. Flashing—thin metal installed at roof joints and around openings—can also loosen or corrode over time.
Our experienced roofing professionals can make these repairs quickly and affordably, helping you avoid costly emergency calls after a storm.
5. Reinforce Roofing Components for Wind Resistance
If your home is in a high-risk storm zone, consider these upgrades:
Hurricane clips or straps
Impact-resistant shingles
Roof deck sealing
Enhanced ridge vents
All Out Roofing can walk you through high-wind protection options that meet both budget and code requirements.
6. Document Roof Condition for Insurance Purposes
Before storm season starts, it’s wise to document your roof’s current condition with photos and inspection records. If you need to file a claim, this proof can make a significant difference.
We provide digital inspection reports with every service, making insurance documentation simple and stress-free.
7. Know Who to Call After the Storm
