In Texas, strong winds can seemingly come out of nowhere. However, we have a general system to tell what types of damage to expect when strong winds hit the area.
45-57 mph: This is the lowest tier of winds that can cause damage to your roof. Winds around this speed have the power to potentially remove shingles from your roof that were already loose, or they can cause loose branches and limbs to fall from your trees.
58-74 mph: These speeds are more dangerous. This speed of wind can down trees or even uproot them entirely. It can also rip entire sections of shingles from your roof, leaving it vulnerable to water damage or other forms of damage to your home.
75-89 mph: Winds at this speed are considered highly destructive. If your home is hit by winds in this range, you can expect extensive damage to trees on your property, meaning that fallen limbs and branches could cause serious penetrations and general damage to your roof. Commercial roofs will likely be at high risk for severe damage with winds of this velocity.
90+ mph: When your home is hit by winds of this speed, some sort of damage is almost inevitable. If your roof is damaged significantly by high winds, make sure to call us immediately to assess the damage and give you the help you need so your home isn't at risk for further damage. We are happy to provide emergency repair when our clients are in need.
