After a hailstorm or high winds in the Keller and Fort Worth area, start by staying safe and documenting what you can from the ground — photos of any visible damage, fallen debris, or interior leaks. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself. Then call a reputable local roofer for a professional inspection, because much hail and wind damage is not visible from the street.
Texas Select Construction provides storm-damage inspections and can identify bruising, granule loss, lifted shingles, and damaged flashing that an untrained eye misses. We document our findings so you have a clear record of the roof’s condition. From there, we will tell you honestly whether you are looking at a repair or a replacement, and whether the damage is significant enough to be worth involving your insurance.
Texas Select Construction answers emergency roofing calls 24/7 at 817-770-0744, so a homeowner in Keller or Fort Worth can reach us the moment a roof fails. Repair work itself is performed during our operating hours — Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. — and we prioritize active leaks and storm damage to get your home protected quickly.
When you call after hours, we can talk you through immediate steps to limit interior damage and arrange the soonest available response. Acting fast matters: a small amount of water intrusion can turn into drywall, insulation, and mold problems within days. Keeping our number handy means you are not scrambling to find help in the middle of a storm event.
Yes. Emergency tarping and board-up are among the first things Texas Select Construction does to protect a damaged home in the Fort Worth area. When a storm tears off shingles or opens up the roof, a properly installed tarp keeps rain out and prevents the water damage that drives up repair costs and complicates insurance claims.
Temporary protection buys time to complete a thorough inspection and plan the permanent repair or replacement without further damage to your home. We make sure the tarp is secured correctly — a poorly installed tarp can blow off or trap water and make things worse. If your roof is exposed after a storm, call us right away so we can stabilize the situation before the next round of weather arrives.
Yes. Not every leak means a new roof, and Texas Select Construction handles fast, targeted leak repairs for homeowners in Keller and across Tarrant County. Common culprits include damaged flashing around chimneys and vents, cracked or missing shingles, and worn sealant — all of which can often be repaired without replacing the whole roof.
The important thing is to act quickly, because even a small leak lets water into your decking and insulation, where it causes hidden damage over time. We will locate the true source of the leak — which is often not directly above the interior stain — and recommend the smallest effective repair. If the leak turns out to be a symptom of a roof that is failing more broadly, we will tell you that honestly so you can plan accordingly.
Yes. Texas Select Construction provides post-storm roof inspections for homeowners in Keller and the surrounding Fort Worth area. After a hailstorm, a professional inspection is the only reliable way to know whether your roof was damaged, because hail bruising and granule loss are often invisible from the ground and can shorten a roof’s life even when they are not yet leaking.
We inspect the shingles, flashing, vents, and other vulnerable points, and we document what we find with photos and notes. That documentation gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition and a record you can use if you decide to file an insurance claim. The inspection is free and comes with no obligation, so it is a low-risk way to get peace of mind after a major storm.
When a storm damages your roof, homeowner’s insurance may cover repair or replacement, minus your deductible. The process usually involves documenting the damage, filing a claim, and meeting an adjuster to assess the roof. Texas Select Construction can inspect your roof, document the damage, and help you understand what you are dealing with before you file.
It is worth being realistic, though: deductibles have risen, and many carriers are increasingly approving repairs rather than full replacements. That means a claim is not always the right move — if the damage is minor and close to your deductible, paying out of pocket may make more sense and avoid a claim on your record. We give Keller and Fort Worth homeowners an honest assessment so you can make an informed decision rather than filing a claim you may regret.
Yes. When a claim is the right path, Texas Select Construction can meet your insurance adjuster at your Fort Worth-area home to walk the roof together. Having a knowledgeable roofer present helps ensure the adjuster sees all the storm damage, since bruising, soft metals, and flashing issues are easy to overlook, and it keeps everyone working from the same documentation.
Our role is to represent the true condition of your roof accurately and professionally — not to inflate a claim, which serves no one and can create problems later. We will point out legitimate damage, answer the adjuster’s questions, and make sure nothing significant is missed. For homeowners in Keller, Southlake, and the surrounding communities, that support takes a lot of the stress out of the claims process.
