Why storms hit Northlake hard
Northlake sits on open, rolling land in southwest Denton County, with much of it still ranch pasture. There are few tall trees or older buildings to break the wind. North Texas storms usually move in from the west, and open pasture gives straight-line winds little to slow them down.
New neighborhoods add their own risk. Large two-story homes present a lot of roof and siding to the wind, and young landscaping gives little shelter. Hail can crack shingles and dent vents, and wind can lift ridge caps and flashing. The next rain then finds its way into the attic.
Our crews drive the I-35W and SH 114 corridors daily, so we can reach Northlake quickly after a storm passes. We also take calls from Roanoke and Haslet, just south and southwest of town.

After the storm
What to do once the storm passes
- Check for hazards. Downed lines, gas smells, or a sagging ceiling mean stay back and call for help.
- Photograph outside and in. Roof, siding, windows, hail on the ground, and any interior water.
- Catch drips. Buckets under leaks, and poke a small hole in a bulging ceiling to let water out safely.
- Call your insurer. Wind and hail are usually covered perils on homeowners policies, subject to your deductible.
- Be careful with door knockers. After big hail, out-of-town contractors often canvass neighborhoods. Get local references and a written scope.
Insurance and cost after storm damage
Most homeowners policies cover hail and wind damage and the interior water damage that results. Many Texas policies have a separate, often percentage-based wind and hail deductible, so check your declarations page. Rising floodwater is not covered without a flood policy.
Keep receipts for anything you buy to protect the house, such as tarps, buckets, or a hotel night if the home is not livable. Many policies reimburse reasonable emergency costs. When several neighbors file after the same hailstorm, adjusters get busy, so clear records from the first day help your claim move instead of stall.
Cost depends on how much of the roof opened up, how long rain came in, and which ceilings, walls, and floors got wet. Try our water damage cost calculator, and read why North Texas storms cause so much water damage.

FAQ
Storm damage questions in Northlake
Do you replace roofs?
We handle emergency tarping, drying, and interior repairs. For a full roof replacement, your roofer does that work, and we coordinate timing so the inside is dried before the ceilings close back up.
How soon after a hailstorm should I get my attic checked?
Within a few days, even if no ceiling stains show. Small punctures can let water in slowly, and insulation hides it until mold or a stain appears.
Does my HOA need to approve an emergency tarp?
Emergency repairs to stop more damage usually come first. Let your HOA know, and get approval before permanent exterior work like new shingles or siding colors.
Should I wait for the adjuster before drying my home?
No. Your policy expects you to prevent further damage. Photograph everything, then let us tarp and dry. Our records show the adjuster what we found and what we removed.
Do you serve Haslet and Roanoke too?
Yes, we take storm calls from both, since they sit just south of Northlake along our regular routes. This page focuses on Northlake, but the same crews respond.
