Lake houses that sit empty
A lot of homes around Canyon Lake aren’t lived in full time. A slow leak in a house that sits empty for weeks can ruin decking, insulation, and drywall before anyone notices. If you own a weekend place here, a roof check after big storms is cheap peace of mind. We can send photos of what we find so you see the roof without driving out.
Steep lots and tall trees
Houses here cling to hillsides and sit under oaks and cedars. Steep pitches, multiple roof lines, and valleys full of leaves are common, and they need careful work. Limbs over the roof rub shingles in the wind and drop in storms, so keeping trees back from the roofline matters.
Wind off the water
Homes on open ridges near the lake take steady wind, and wind works shingle edges and ridges loose over time. Metal roofing is a popular answer here: it handles wind, sheds leaves and rain fast, and fits the look of the area. We install shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofs and talk through the trade-offs honestly.
After a storm
Hail and wind storms move through the lake area most springs. Check from the ground:
- Shingles that are missing, lifted, folded, or sitting in the yard.
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, vents, and the AC unit, a sign hail hit the house.
- Piles of shingle granules at the bottom of the downspouts.
- Bent or loose flashing around the chimney and roof edges.
- New water stains on ceilings or around upstairs windows.
- Stay on the ground. Don’t climb a wet or damaged roof. Take photos from the yard and call us.

FAQ
Questions.
Is the roof inspection free?
Yes. We come to the house, look at the roof, and give you an honest answer on what it needs. No charge for the visit. Se habla español.
Do you work on rental houses?
Yes. We inspect and repair roofs for landlords and property managers too, and we can send photos of what we find so the owner sees the roof without climbing it.
Is a metal roof worth it in Texas?
Often, yes. Metal handles heat and wind well and sheds water fast. It costs more up front than shingles, so it isn’t right for every house or budget. We lay out the trade-offs for your house and let you decide.
Do you repair roofs, or only replace them?
Both. If a few slopes or a flashing can be fixed, we say so. If the roof is done, we say that too. You get the honest answer, not a sales pitch.
Do you help with hail damage and insurance?
Yes. We inspect storm and hail damage, document what we find with photos, and can meet your adjuster at the house. We don’t file or negotiate your claim, and nobody can promise what insurance will pay. Repair or replace, depending on what the roof needs.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Licensed and insured for residential and commercial work. We can show proof before we start. Certificate of insurance available on request.
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Hail bruises shingles and knocks off the granules that protect them, and it dents gutters, vents, and AC units. From the street a bruised shingle can look fine, so the sure way to know is a close look. We inspect for free and photograph what we find.
Should a roofer meet my insurance adjuster?
It helps. We can meet your adjuster at the house and show them what we documented with photos. The claim itself stays between you and your insurance company, and nobody can promise what insurance will pay.
What should I do after a hail storm in Canyon Lake?
Stay on the ground and walk around the house. Look for shingles in the yard, dents on gutters and vents, and granules at the downspouts, and take photos with the date. Then call or text us for a free inspection, and call your insurance company if you think there’s damage.
