Conroe, The Woodlands, and the rest of North Houston sit in a demanding spot for roofs: tropical systems and wind off the Gulf, spring hail, and a dense tree canopy that turns storms into falling-limb events. Here's what to check afterward — and who to trust.
Look for limb and impact damage
In heavily wooded communities, the first thing to check after a storm is whether limbs struck the roof. Punctures, crushed shingles, and displaced flashing from a limb strike need prompt attention before the next rain. Also scan for missing or creased shingles and lifted ridge caps from wind.
Check the hail clues
Walk the perimeter for dented gutters, downspouts, and metal vents, and for granules washed into the gutters. Hail bruising on shingles usually isn't visible from the ground, so these soft-metal clues are your best early indicator.
Check inside, too
New ceiling stains, damp spots, or wet attic decking mean water is already getting in. Catching it early limits interior damage and mold.
Document quickly, avoid the swarm
Photograph the date and damage; Texas generally gives you a year to file, but early documentation strengthens the claim. After big storms, out-of-town crews flood these neighborhoods — steer clear of anyone pressuring you to sign or offering to waive your deductible, which is illegal in Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the biggest storm risk to roofs in The Woodlands and Conroe?
Falling limbs from the heavy pine canopy, plus tropical-storm wind and spring hail. After any major storm it's worth a professional inspection, since canopy debris can hide damage.
How long do I have to file a storm claim in Texas?
Generally one year from the date of damage, though acting quickly makes the claim cleaner and avoids disputes over which storm caused what.
