Roof Repair in Amarillo: Hail, Wind & Leak Help

Roof Repair Amarillo is a no-cost referral service for homeowners and property owners in Amarillo and nearby Panhandle towns. You tell us what's wrong with your roof, and we connect you with one independent local roofing contractor who works in your area. We don't do the work ourselves, and there's no charge to you.

What should you do after a hailstorm or high wind?

1. Stay off the roof. Hail-pitted and wind-lifted shingles are slick, and a steep or wet roof is easy to fall from. Look from the yard, a window, or a ladder set at the eave only if you are steady and the ground is firm.
2. Keep clear of downed power lines. Treat every fallen line as live. Call 911 and your electric utility (Xcel Energy serves much of the Amarillo area) from a safe distance.
3. Take dated photos from the ground: dented gutters and downspouts, split window screens, dinged siding, AC fins, car damage, and any shingle pieces in the yard. If you can, measure a large hailstone next to a coin or ruler.
4. Protect the inside. Set buckets under drips, move valuables, and keep everyone out of any room where the ceiling is bulging with water.
5. Call your insurer if you think you have a claim, and ask how long you have to report it.

Why do Panhandle roofs take such a beating?

The Texas Panhandle is one of the most active hail regions in the country, and Amarillo is often ranked among the windiest cities in the United States. Add strong sun at high elevation, big daily temperature swings, dust, and the occasional blizzard, and shingles here often need replacing because of storms long before they wear out. See hail damage and wind damage.

How do you check a roofer in Texas?

• No state license: Texas does not license roofing contractors statewide, so local checks matter more.
• City registration and permits: inside Amarillo, roofers must register with the city and most re-roofs need a permit. See the City of Amarillo Building Safety roofing information page. Other cities have their own offices.
• Insurance: ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation.
• No deductible deals: it's illegal in Texas for a contractor to waive, rebate, or pay your deductible. See the Texas Department of Insurance roof scam guidance.
• Paperwork: get a written contract with products, scope, permit responsibility, payment schedule, and warranty.

Why use a referral service?

• One request, one roofer. We send your request to one independent local roofer, not a crowd of callers.
• No door-knocking pressure. You reach out when you're ready, and you can check the roofer before you sign. See storm chaser warning signs.
• Honest information. We explain how claims usually work. We never promise insurance coverage.
• No obligation. Get an inspection and estimate, then decide.

What affects the cost of roof work?

We don't publish prices because they vary widely. Roof size and pitch, material, layers to tear off, decking repairs, flashing and ventilation, permits, and demand after big storms all play a part. Compare written estimates with the same scope. If you're replacing anyway, look at Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and metal roofing.
