Storm damage cleanup in Carrollton: what we do first
The first goal is to stop more water from coming in. We tarp roof openings, board broken windows and doors, and then turn to the water already inside. Wet attic insulation, stained ceilings, and soaked carpet all get measured and dried.
After a big hailstorm, every restoration company in DFW gets busy at once. From Denton, we typically reach Carrollton in 60 to 90 minutes on a normal day. After a widespread storm, it can take longer, and the dispatcher will be honest about the wait and help you protect the house until we arrive.

Storm insurance claims in Carrollton
Homeowners policies generally cover wind and hail damage, including water that gets in through the opening the storm created. Many Texas policies carry a separate, higher deductible for wind and hail, often a percentage of your home’s insured value. Check your declarations page.
Rising water from a creek or street runoff is flood, which needs a flood policy. That difference matters, so we document how the water got in: roof, window, or ground level.
- Photograph damage outside and inside before tarping or cleanup.
- Keep receipts for tarps, buckets, hotel stays, and meals.
- Make temporary repairs. Most policies require you to prevent further damage.
- Get an itemized scope. We provide one in a format adjusters recognize.
Cost depends on the size of the roof opening, how much water got inside, and the repairs needed. Our claim coverage estimator can help you prepare. For more background, read why North Texas storms cause so much water damage.
Before the next storm: prep for Carrollton homes
- Know your roof’s age. Many Carrollton roofs sit on homes from the 1970s and 1980s and have been replaced at least once. An older roof lets water in more easily after hail.
- Trim limbs that hang over the roof. Mature trees in older neighborhoods are a common cause of roof punctures in high wind.
- Clear gutters and downspouts so heavy rain drains away from the slab instead of pooling at the foundation.
- Photograph your home now. Before-storm photos make hail and wind claims easier to prove.
Why Carrollton homeowners call us
We are water damage specialists first. Many storm contractors fix the roof and leave the wet insulation and drywall behind. We dry the inside to IICRC standards, then rebuild.

FAQ
Storm cleanup questions from Carrollton
Do you repair roofs?
We tarp roofs to stop leaks and repair the interior. A licensed roofer handles the permanent roof repair or replacement. We can coordinate timing with your roofer.
A ceiling stain appeared weeks after a hailstorm. Is it too late?
No, but call soon. Slow roof leaks soak insulation and can grow mold above the ceiling. We check the attic side with meters and a thermal camera.
Should I wait for the adjuster before cleanup?
No. Take photos, then protect the property. Most policies expect you to prevent further damage. Our photos and logs show the adjuster what was there.
What is a wind and hail deductible?
Many Texas policies use a separate deductible for wind and hail, often set as a percentage of your dwelling coverage. It can be much higher than your standard deductible.
Do you work with Carrollton HOAs after a storm?
Yes. Tarps and board-up are temporary and usually allowed right away. For permanent exterior changes, your HOA may want to review materials or colors, and we can share our photos and scope with them.
Can a tree through the roof be handled the same day?
We can tarp and board up once the tree is removed or made safe. For large trees on the house, a tree service usually has to go first.
