How High Windstorms During the Winter Can Affect Your Roof | San Antonio, TX

Protect Your Roof This Winter: The Hidden Dangers of Windstorms

Winter weather brings more than just ice—it brings powerful windstorms that can wreak havoc on your roof. If your home has endured a rough spring season or your roof is aging, high winds could be the final straw, leading to serious weather-related damage.

Many homeowners don’t realize that their roof may already have hidden vulnerabilities, such as loose shingles, missing asphalt, or worn-out felt. When strong winds strike, these existing weaknesses can quickly turn into major issues, putting your home at risk for leaks, structural damage, and costly repairs.

How Wind Can Damage Your Roof

Roofs and other home exteriors are highly susceptible to wind damage because windstorms don’t strike uniformly. Instead, they target the weakest areas—lifting loose shingles, tearing at edges, and exposing underlying layers. Additionally, roofs that were poorly installed or made with low-quality materials are especially at risk. Proper nail and shingle placement are crucial to withstanding extreme weather, which is why choosing a trusted roofing company is essential.

At Ideal Precision Roofing, we ensure that every roof we install is built to last, using only the best materials and expert craftsmanship.

Debris & Falling Limbs: Another Winter Hazard

Beyond the direct impact of wind, debris and falling tree limbs can be just as destructive. Strong gusts can send branches crashing into your roof, causing punctures, cracks, or even structural damage. If you notice overhanging branches or suspect that debris may have impacted your roof, it’s important to take action before the damage worsens.

Signs of Wind Damage on Your Roof

If your home has experienced recent windstorms, watch for these common warning signs:
✅ Loose or missing shingles
✅ Curling or peeling shingles
✅ Chimney damage
✅ Granule loss on shingles
✅ Damaged soffit or fascia
✅ Indoor leaks or water stains

When we had a leak in our roof back in April, I called James. He was very responsive and quick to come out and look at our roof. We had hail/wind damage. James helped us every step of the way while we were in a 3 month battle with our insurance company. He came out to meet with adjusters multiple times, and never hesitated to fight for our roof replacement. In July we finally got our beautiful new roof installed,...

Jordan Hoel

I had purchased my residence a little over 18 months ago and the roof had some unknown multiple small leaks in different places that became apparent with the heavy rain storm. While getting bids to fix the leaks and gain insight about the health of our roof we decided to replace it with either a asphalt shingle roof or a metal roof. I have contacted several roofing companies to get both a 50 year composition roof and a metal roof...
