Beat the Next Big Storm: Roof & Gutter Checklist You Need Today

Trust Works Construction • May 1, 2025

When a storm hits Texas, it strikes hard. High winds, heavy rain, and flying debris can damage your roof and gutters in minutes.


The best way to protect your home? Be ready before the next storm rolls in. Here’s a checklist every homeowner in Montgomery, Walker, Waller, and San Jacinto County should follow.

✔️ Check for Loose or Missing Shingles

Curled, cracked, or missing shingles indicate that your roof is at risk. Storm winds can completely tear them off, leaving your roof exposed.


✅ Schedule a roof inspection if you're unsure about the condition of your shingles. 



✅ Don’t delay — these minor fixes can turn into a full roof replacement if ignored.

✔️ Inspect Flashing Around Chimneys and Vents

Flashing seals the edges around your chimney, vents, and roof valleys. Water can sneak into your attic if it’s rusted or peeling back.


✅ We repair and reinforce flashing during every roof repair service. 



✅ Catch leaks early, before they damage insulation or drywall.

✔️ Clean Your Gutters and Downspouts

Gutters filled with leaves or dirt won’t properly move water away from your house. Water can back up during a storm under shingles or pool near your foundation.


✅ Schedule a gutter repair or replacement if you notice sagging, leaks, or overflow. 


✅ We ensure your gutter system flows fast and clean.

✔️ Trim Nearby Tree Branches

Branches over your roof can snap off in strong winds, damaging shingles, flashing, and gutters.


✅ Trim anything that touches or hovers close to your roof. 

 

✅ If you’ve experienced damage before, call us for an emergency roof repair plan.

✔️ Look for Water Stains Inside

Discoloration on ceilings or walls usually indicates a leak above. It may be small now, but storm rain will exacerbate it.


✅ Our roof inspection services check both the outside and inside of your roof system. 



✅ We also offer home remodeling to fix storm-related water damage.

From heavy rain and wind to blazing heat, your home’s first line of defense must be strong and coordinated.

What to Watch For Before the Real Damage Begins Not all roof leaks make themselves obvious right away. In fact, some of the most destructive leaks are the ones that hide behind walls, under insulation, or in ceiling spaces — slowly causing rot, mold, and expensive repairs. If you live in Texas, where sudden storms and intense heat can weaken roofing systems over time, it's crucial to spot the early signs of hidden leaks. Here's how to know if your roof might be letting water in without you realizing it.
