What wind damage looks like on your roof
Wind damage is different from hail. Hail bruises and cracks shingles from above. Wind attacks from the edges and works its way under:
- Lifted or curled shingles — wind gets under the edge of a shingle and breaks the adhesive seal. The shingle may look intact from the ground but is no longer sealed to the roof.
- Missing shingles — strong gusts tear shingles completely off, leaving bare underlayment or decking exposed to rain.
- Creased shingles — wind bends shingles without tearing them off. The crease weakens the shingle permanently — it will crack and leak over time.
- Damaged flashing — wind peels back metal flashing along edges, valleys, and around chimneys. This creates entry points for water.
- Ridge cap damage — the ridge cap sits at the highest point of your roof and takes the most wind exposure. Lifted or missing ridge caps are one of the first signs of wind damage.
Wind damage often goes unnoticed because shingles can look fine from the ground while their seals are broken underneath. A roof-level inspection is the only way to know.
How much wind does it take to damage a roof
Not every windy day damages your roof. But San Antonio gets winds strong enough to cause real problems:
- 45-57 mph — can lift and curl standard 3-tab shingles, especially on older roofs where the adhesive seal has weakened
- 58-74 mph — tears shingles off, damages flashing, and can peel back ridge caps. This is classified as severe thunderstorm wind.
- 75+ mph — widespread damage. Even well-installed architectural shingles can fail at these speeds without impact-resistant ratings.
San Antonio regularly sees 60+ mph wind gusts during spring thunderstorms. The April 2016 storm brought 70+ mph winds alongside 4.5-inch hail — causing $1.36 billion in damages across the metro.
Standard asphalt shingles are rated for 60-70 mph. Owens Corning Duration shingles with SureNail technology are rated for 130 mph — designed to handle everything San Antonio's weather throws at them.
What wind damage roof replacement costs in San Antonio
Most San Antonio homeowners pay $6,500-$13,000 for a full roof replacement with Roof Direct SA — that's 40-50% less than what the big roofing companies charge for the same Owens Corning shingles.
After wind damage, we recommend upgrading to Owens Corning Duration shingles with SureNail technology. They're rated for 130 mph winds — nearly double the standard 70 mph rating. They also carry Class 4 impact resistance, which can qualify for insurance premium discounts of 10-28%.
If wind damage is covered by your homeowners insurance, your out-of-pocket cost may be limited to your deductible. We help with documentation and work directly with your adjuster.
