Hill Country roofs are different
Homes around Wimberley sit on hillsides, in creek bottoms, and under heavy tree cover. Steep pitches, multiple roof lines, and valleys that collect leaves are common, and they take careful work. A roof here isn’t the same job as a subdivision roof, and we treat it that way.
Trees, leaves, and slow damage
Cypress, oak, and cedar keep houses shaded, but they also drop limbs and fill valleys and gutters with debris. Debris holds moisture against the shingles, and moisture is what ages a roof fastest. Houses that sit empty between weekends are hit hardest, because a small leak can run for weeks before anyone sees it.
Metal roofs in the hills
Metal is a popular choice in the Hill Country, and for good reason: it sheds leaves and water fast, handles wind well, and suits the look of the area. It costs more up front than shingles, so it isn’t right for every house or budget. We install both and lay out the trade-offs honestly.
After a storm
Hill Country storms bring wind, hail, and falling limbs. Check what you can 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.
Insurance
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. The claim stays between you and your insurance company.
