Hail/Wind Resistance & Texas Storm Readiness (Class 4, Uplift)
Texas storms test every roof. At Swordsmen Roofing, we focus on Hail/Wind Resistance & Texas Storm Readiness (Class 4, Uplift) to protect properties from extreme weather. Our systems are selected and installed to meet strict uplift and impact standards.
That commitment means stronger underlayments, reinforced attachments, and proper ventilation to reduce damage risk. We balance strength with appearance so roofs remain both protective and attractive.
High-Wind and Hail-Resistant Systems
We install shingles and metal systems rated for high-wind performance and impact resistance. These products help protect roofs from torn edges, lifted shingles, and hail strikes that can cause leaks or structural problems.
Choosing the right system depends on roof slope, exposure, and budget. Our team provides honest guidance and fits systems that meet Class 4 impact ratings and strict uplift resistance for Texas conditions.
Insurance Guidance and Claims Support
Dealing with insurance after storm damage can be stressful. We help clients document damage, provide accurate estimates, and work with adjusters to ensure repairs and replacements meet required standards and fair settlement values.
Working with a contractor that understands both construction and the claims process can speed recovery and limit out-of-pocket costs for homeowners and business owners following severe weather.
