Recent storms around Justin
Storm reports from 2024 show what local homes face. On May 28, 2024, thunderstorm winds tore shingles off multiple homes about 4 miles south of Justin. Days later, on June 2, golf ball size hail (1.75 inches) was reported near Justin.
Justin sits among open fields, so wind reaches roofs and fences with little to slow it down. Big trees in older blocks and along creeks can drop limbs on roofs. Both lead to the same problem: an opening in the roof, and water inside when the rain arrives.

What we do
Storm damage services for Justin homes
Tarping and board-up
We cover damaged roof sections and broken windows to stop more water getting in. Most policies expect you to prevent further damage.
Attic and ceiling drying
Wet insulation is removed and replaced. Ceilings are dried in place when possible, or cut out when they sag.
Wind-driven rain
Rain forced through windows, doors, and siding soaks walls from the outside in. We find it with thermal imaging.
Claims
Storm insurance and cost factors
Wind and hail damage are commonly covered by homeowners policies, including water that enters through the damaged roof. Rising floodwater is not; it needs flood coverage. Many Texas policies carry a separate wind and hail deductible, often a percentage of the home’s insured value. Check yours before the adjuster visits.
Your cost depends on how much of the roof opened, how long rain came in, and how many rooms were affected. Emergency tarping is usually part of the claim. Our insurance claim coverage estimator can help you plan.
Justin’s permit office publishes a roofing permit guide, and planned communities may also require HOA approval for materials and colors.
24/7 Emergency Line
Roof opened up in the storm?
Call (940) 274-9880 for tarping and water removal in Justin.
Hidden storm water in the attic
A roof leak does not always drip right away. Rain can run along a rafter or soak into blown insulation for hours before a stain shows on the ceiling. By then the insulation is packed down, the drywall is soft, and the attic is humid.
We go into the attic on every storm call where water came through the roof. Wet insulation is bagged and removed, the decking and framing are checked with a meter, and we dry the space before new insulation goes in. Skipping this step is a common reason mold shows up a few months after a hail claim.
Ceilings with a light stain can often be dried in place and sealed. Ceilings that sag, crack, or feel soft need to come down, and we protect the room below before cutting.

FAQ
Storm damage questions in Justin
Should I wait for the adjuster before tarping?
No. Take photos, then get the roof covered. Insurers expect you to prevent more damage, and tarping is usually part of the claim.
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look for dented gutters, vents, and downspouts, granules in the gutters, and dark spots on shingles. Ceiling stains after the next rain are a late sign. A roofer can inspect safely.
Do you replace roofs?
We handle emergency tarping and all interior water damage. A licensed roofer replaces the roof, and we can coordinate timing with them.
What is a wind and hail deductible?
Many Texas policies set a separate deductible for wind and hail, often a percentage of the dwelling coverage. It can be much higher than your regular deductible.
How long after a storm can I file a claim?
Policies set their own deadlines, and Texas policies often allow a set window from the date of the storm. Do not wait. Report damage as soon as you find it, and keep dated photos of the roof and any leaks.
Can wind-driven rain cause damage without roof damage?
Yes. Strong wind can force rain past window seals, doors, and siding. The walls can be wet inside with no visible roof problem.
