After a storm moves through Southdale: hail bruising and wind-torn shingles, photographed and documented the way your insurer needs to see it.
Southdale is one of Bellaire's established mid-century subdivisions, built mostly in the 1950s-60s with the low-pitch asphalt-shingle roofs typical of that era's ranch-style homes. A lot of original decking is still under a second or third layer of shingles here.
Original 1950s-60s decking is common under later shingle layers — a tear-off often finds more repair work than expected once the old layers come off
Mature tree canopy across the subdivision means more granule loss and moss/algae staining than newer, more open subdivisions
Low-pitch rooflines are less forgiving of ponding at valleys than the steeper roofs in some of Bellaire's newer construction
Most policies cover sudden damage from a specific storm event — hail or wind, typically — not a roof that simply wore out over time. We document the damage so you have what your insurer needs; coverage itself is always their decision.
Yes, if you'd like us there. Walking the roof together and pointing to documented damage is usually the most efficient way to move a claim along.
