How to Storm-Proof Your San Antonio Home Before Hail Season

San Antonio sits squarely in hail country, and every spring storm season catches homeowners off guard. A little preparation now can save you thousands in damage later. Here is the checklist we walk our own customers through.

Start with the roof

Your roof takes the first hit. Look for lifted, cracked, or missing shingles, and check that flashing around vents and chimneys is sealed. If your roof is over 15 years old, get it inspected before a storm rather than after.

Clear gutters and drainage

Clogged gutters send water into your fascia, soffits, and foundation. Clean them out and make sure downspouts push water well away from the house. San Antonio clay soil swells and shifts when it stays wet.

Protect windows and doors

Check weatherstripping and caulking around every window and exterior door. Impact-resistant windows are worth considering if you are already planning replacements.

Trim trees and secure outdoor items

Overhanging limbs become projectiles in high wind. Trim branches near the roof and plan to bring in or anchor patio furniture when storms are forecast.
