Question 1

What wind speeds typically cause roof damage in Borger?

Accepted Answer

Sustained winds above 45 mph begin lifting shingle tabs on older roofs. Gusts exceeding 60 mph can remove entire shingles even from relatively new roofs if installation quality was poor. Borger regularly experiences wind events in this range, especially during spring and fall frontal passages. High-wind rated installation methods dramatically improve performance.

Question 2

Will insurance cover wind damage to my Borger roof?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowner policies cover wind damage when sustained winds or gusts exceed thresholds specified in your policy—typically 50-60 mph. We help document wind speeds from National Weather Service reports and link damage patterns to specific wind events. Our professional documentation improves claim approval rates significantly.

Question 3

How do you prevent future wind damage in Borger?

Accepted Answer

High-wind installation methods are critical in Borger. We use 6-nail patterns instead of standard 4-nail, install premium starter strips with enhanced adhesion, seal all flashing with high-grade sealants, and use Class 4 shingles rated for 130 mph winds. These methods reduce wind damage risk by 80-90% compared to standard installations.

Question 4

How quickly can you repair wind damage in Borger?

Accepted Answer

We provide emergency tarping and temporary repairs within hours for actively leaking roofs. Full repair or replacement typically occurs 2-4 weeks after claim approval, depending on material availability and scheduling. During widespread wind events affecting the entire Texas Panhandle, we work extended hours to accommodate emergency needs.

Question 5

Should I get a wind damage inspection after every windstorm in Borger?

Accepted Answer

Inspect after wind events with sustained winds above 45 mph or gusts exceeding 60 mph. Even if you see no obvious damage from the ground, lifted shingles and flashing issues may exist. We offer free inspections that identify problems early before they cause leaks. Early detection prevents minor wind damage from becoming major water damage.
