When hail or high wind rolls across Lake Lewisville, the first questions about roofing in Lewisville TX are practical: is my roof damaged, is a repair enough, and who should I trust to tell me? Start with a few ground-level checks, get a professional inspection, and insist on a written estimate that explains exactly what will be done and why.

Ground-level checks after a Lewisville storm
You can learn a lot without a ladder. Walk around the house once the weather clears and look for:
- Dents on soft metals. Gutters, downspouts, window wraps and AC fins show hail size and direction.
- Debris in the yard. Shingle pieces, ridge cap fragments or vent parts mean wind has done damage above.
- Granules at downspouts. A fresh pile of what looks like coarse sand is the shingle surface washing off.
- Visible gaps on the roof. Missing tabs or lifted edges along ridges and rakes.
- Interior signs. New stains on ceilings, damp spots in closets or a musty smell in the attic.
Lewisville's housing ranges from established neighborhoods built in the 1980s and 1990s to newer developments near the lake, so the same storm can affect homes very differently. An older roof with sun-hardened shingles may crack where a newer one only shows light marks.
Our after-hailstorm roof checklist lists more of these checks. Stay off the roof yourself; wet shingles are slippery, and walking on damaged ones can make things worse.
Signs that need a professional on the roof
Some damage simply can't be judged from the ground. Hail bruising, where the shingle mat is fractured under an intact surface, is felt as much as seen. Wind can break a shingle's seal without lifting it far enough to notice. Flashing that has been pulled away from a wall looks normal until water runs behind it. A trained inspector checks each slope, the metal features and the attic, and photographs anything significant.
Temporary protection while you wait
If water is getting in, the priority is stopping it. Move belongings away from the drip, catch water in buckets and call for emergency help. A properly secured tarp over the damaged area can hold until a permanent repair is made, and photos of the damage before and after it's covered will help any claim.
Hail or wind?
The cause matters because it affects both the repair and any insurance claim. Hail leaves scattered impact marks; wind creases, lifts or removes shingles, often along edges. Our article on hail versus wind damage explains how to tell them apart.
Roofing in Lewisville TX: repair or replace?
Not every storm means a new roof. The right call depends on how much damage there is, where it is and how old the roof was before the storm.
When a repair is enough
Isolated wind damage, a handful of missing shingles, a cracked pipe boot or a loose flashing section can usually be repaired well. If the rest of the roof is in good condition and has years left, a proper repair is the sensible choice.
When replacement makes more sense
Widespread hail bruising across several slopes, a roof already near the end of its life, or repeated leaks in different areas point toward replacement. At that stage, repairs mostly buy time.
The matching question
Repairs on an older roof raise a matching problem. Shingle lines get discontinued, and even the same color weathers differently over years. If a repair would leave an obvious patch, discuss it before work starts, and check how your policy treats matching if a claim is involved.
Our roof repair service covers storm damage, leaks, flashing and missing shingles, and if a repair isn't the right answer we'll tell you so.
Getting a clear written estimate
A good estimate should let you see exactly what you're paying for without guessing. Look for:
- The specific areas of the roof involved, by slope or feature
- Materials by name, including the shingle line and color
- What happens to flashing, vents and pipe boots
- How damaged decking will be handled if found
- Cleanup and debris removal
- Written warranty information for the work
If you're comparing estimates from more than one contractor, lay them side by side and check that they cover the same scope. One that looks simpler may simply leave out flashing, vents or decking, and those gaps tend to show up later as change orders or leaks.
We don't publish prices because every roof is different; the estimate reflects your roof's size, pitch, damage and materials. Cannon Roofing has been in business since 1994, every employee holds the Technician Seal of Safety, and our crews are factory trained. If storm damage is involved, our insurance claims help can take some of the stress out of the process.
Frequently asked questions
How fast should I act after a storm?
Get an inspection soon. Insurance policies set deadlines for reporting a loss, and early action keeps small leaks from becoming ceiling and insulation damage.
Can I just patch it myself?
A temporary cover to stop water is fine if you can do it safely from the ground or a ladder. Permanent roof repairs are best left to a trained crew with proper fall protection.
