Storm & Hurricane Roof Damage in Brazoria County, TX

Brazoria County roofs see strong storms. When Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Matagorda on July 8, 2024, the National Weather Service recorded a gust of 97 mph in Brazoria County. After a storm passes, wait for the weather to clear, stay away from downed lines, and document the damage with photos taken from the ground.

An insurance claim is between you and your insurer, so call your agent or company directly. Be careful with door-to-door storm chasers who show up after big storms. In Texas a contractor may not offer to waive or absorb your deductible, and a roofer doing the work may not act as your public adjuster.

If your wind coverage is through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, roof work beyond a small repair generally needs a windstorm inspection and certificate to stay insurable. Ask the roofer how they handle it, and confirm with your agent.
