Storm Damage Restoration

Commercial Storm Damage Restoration Across Texas

Hail, wind, tornado, and winter storm repairs for multifamily and commercial properties

Texas storms rarely damage just one building. Shepperd Construction provides commercial storm damage restoration for HOAs, condominiums, apartment communities, and commercial owners, from emergency protection through full reconstruction of roofs, envelopes, and the interiors water reached.

Storm damage restoration repairs what a weather event does to a building: hail-impacted roofs and cladding, wind-torn flashing and siding, broken windows, and the water that gets inside before the building is closed up. On multifamily properties it usually spans several buildings at once.

Texas Weather

Hail, Wind, and Freeze Events Hit Whole Communities

A single hailstorm can damage every roof, gutter, and elevation on a property in minutes. Wind drives rain behind cladding, and hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri burst pipes inside walls and ceilings. The visible damage is often only part of the story, which is why commercial storm damage needs a careful walk of every building.

Our crews protect the property first, then document and rebuild. When a carrier questions whether damage came from the storm or from pre-existing construction defects, we support the engineer with clear field documentation.

Fast Protection

Temporary roofing and water protection stop further damage while the claim is opened.

Every Building Walked

Roofs, elevations, and units are checked so no damage is left off the scope.

Full Reconstruction

Roofs, envelopes, structure, and interiors rebuilt by one team.

Warning Signs

Signs of Storm Damage on Multifamily Buildings

Some storm damage is obvious. Much of it is not. After a major event, look for:

  • Dented gutters, vents, and metal flashing after hail
  • Cracked or spalled stucco and stone on exposed elevations
  • Missing shingles, torn membranes, or lifted roof edges
  • Broken or leaking windows on the windward side
  • New ceiling stains or wet drywall in upper units
  • Burst pipes or water damage after a hard freeze
  • Siding, trim, or fencing pulled loose by wind

What Storm Damage Restoration Involves

Restoration starts with emergency protection: tarping, temporary roofing, and closing openings so water stops entering. We then document damage building by building, support the adjuster and engineer, and build a repair scope that covers roofs, envelopes, windows, and interiors.

For commercial hail damage repair, that often means roof replacement plus repairs to metal, cladding, and windows on every elevation. For winter storm damage repair, it means opening walls and ceilings where pipes burst, then rebuilding framing, drywall, and finishes. Our insurance restoration page covers how we work through the claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is the repair of storm damage to multifamily and commercial buildings, from emergency protection through rebuilding roofs, cladding, windows, structure, and interiors. On a community it usually covers several buildings under one plan.

Check that residents are safe, notify the carrier, and get temporary protection in place so water stops entering. Photograph damage on every building before anything is removed or repaired.

We walk every roof and elevation, photograph and measure damage by building, and organize it so the adjuster and engineer can review each item. Concealed damage found later is documented before it is covered.

Yes. Hail can bruise roofing and crack coatings without obvious holes, and wind-driven rain can wet walls long before stains appear inside. That is why a careful inspection of every building matters after a major storm.

Yes. After Winter Storm Uri we helped multiple churches recover from interior pipe breaks. Freeze damage repairs usually mean opening walls and ceilings, rebuilding damaged framing, and restoring finishes.

Disputes over storm damage versus existing conditions are common. An engineer determines cause; we support that work with clear field documentation and access, and we can price the repair either way.

In most cases, yes. We phase roof and envelope work by building and keep temporary protection in place, so only units with interior damage are affected while they are rebuilt.

We serve properties across Texas, with teams in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio.
