The March 7th storm that swept through Rio Grande City left behind more than just downed branches and flooded streets. For many homeowners in Rio Grande City, it also left behind roof damage that may not be obvious from the ground.

Hail and high winds are two of the most destructive forces a roof can face, and the damage they cause is not always easy to spot. If you have not had your roof inspected since the storm, there is a real chance you are dealing with damage you do not know about yet.

McAllen Valley Roofing Co. is offering free storm damage inspections across Rio Grande City. To schedule, call us at (956) 476-7513.

Why Hail and Wind Damage Is Easy to Miss

After a storm like the one on March 7th, some homeowners will walk outside, look up at their roof, and see nothing wrong. That is usually a false sense of security.

Hail damage often shows up as small dents or bruising on shingles that are only visible up close. Wind damage can lift shingles slightly, breaking the seal between them without fully removing them. Both types of damage allow moisture to work its way under your roofing system over time, leading to leaks, mold, and structural problems that are far more expensive to fix than the original damage.

Signs You May Have Roof Damage

Even from the ground, there are a few things to look for:

  • Missing shingles or shingles that appear lifted or curled
  • Granule loss visible in your gutters or downspouts
  • Dents or dings on gutters, vents, or flashing
  • Water stains on interior ceilings or walls
  • Debris sitting on the roof that may have caused impact damage

If you notice any of these, or if you are simply not sure, a professional inspection is the right next step. At McAllen Valley Roofing Co., we offer free storm damage inspections. To schedule an inspection, call us at (956) 476-7513.

What to Do Right Now

1. Schedule a roof inspection. This is the most important step. A  roofing contractor that specializes in storm damage, like McAllen Valley Roofing Co., can identify damage that is not visible from the ground and document it properly for an insurance claim.

2. Document what you can. Take photos of any visible damage to your property, including your roof, gutters, and siding. Date-stamped photos help support your insurance claim.

3. Contact your insurance company. Most homeowners insurance policies cover storm damage. Once you have an inspection report, you can file a claim with your insurer. If you are working with us, we help you understand what is covered and confirm that no damage is missed.

4. Do not delay. Storm damage worsens over time. Water intrusion from a small breach can cause significant interior damage if left unaddressed through the next rain cycle.
