Wind tests a roof differently from hail. It lifts, cracks and tears off shingles, and it can break the seal strip between them without visibly moving them, which leaves little to see from the yard. Temple's record is full of it, from roofs on apartment units peeled back on West Adams Avenue to sheet metal torn off buildings in north Temple. Our Central Texas team handles Temple roofs, and our office, the only one we have, is in Frisco.
Use the form and we will call you back to arrange a visit, or call (214) 766-3669, any day from 7 am to 6 pm.
Central Texas roofing team
Alex Keller is our Central Texas and Austin sales manager, and Travis Gardenhire and Alison Gardenhire are our Central Texas project managers. Behind them, Leanne Tolbert owns the company, which is 100% woman-owned and operated, Beth Keller runs operations, and Suade Sherman manages the office at 12800 Westridge Blvd in Frisco, where your scheduling and paperwork are handled. All of their names and roles are listed on our About page.
Roofing work after wind involves more than new shingles, whether the answer is a repair or a whole roof. These are the parts we carry so you are not chasing them yourself, from the first look at the damage to the paperwork your insurer will want to see.
We check every slope for shingles that are missing, lifted, creased or cracked, and for seal strips that have let go without moving the shingle far. Each problem gets photographed, so you see what we saw, and the photos are dated so they line up with the storm.
We look closely at the drip edge, ridge, flashing, vents and pipe boots, where loose or damaged parts let water in. Hail, if it came with the storm, leaves its own dents in the same metal.
When a storm is behind the work, we document the damage with dated photos and support your insurance restoration claim. What your policy pays is between you and your insurer, and we help you keep the evidence straight.
Call (214) 766-3669 or send the form. Shingles in the yard, a leak after the storm, a neighbor's tree on the roof: tell us what you saw and when.
We come to your Temple address, check the roof and photograph what we find. You get a written estimate and a straight answer on repair versus replacement.
Once you approve the scope and the material, one of our Central Texas project managers schedules the crew, keeps you posted and walks the finished roof with you.
Temple's homes cover a wide range of ages. The Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey counts 37,299 housing units in Temple, with a median year built of 1991. Of those, 21,817 were built before 2000, and 8,302 date from before 1970. At the other end, 10,619 have gone up since 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS table B25034).
The median owner-occupied home in Temple is worth $239,000. Owners live in 18,056 of the city's 34,514 occupied homes and renters in 16,458, close to an even split.
Temple's storms are shared with the towns around it. On March 28, 2014, quarter size hail and 60 mph winds were reported at Scott and White Hospital, and Belton saw much larger hail the same day. On April 26, 2023, golf ball size hail fell near I-35 and Loop 363, the same day NOAA logged 4.5-inch hail 2 miles east of Waco. So our Central Texas work runs together across Belton, where 4-inch hail has fallen, Waco's older homes and their gutters, Killeen roofs that need an honest repair-or-replace call and Harker Heights, a Bell County town NOAA seldom names.
Temple sits in the Central Texas part of our service area, which also reaches DFW and Austin. To get your Temple roof assessed, call (214) 766-3669.

From residential and commercial roof replacement to urgent emergency roof repairs, our 5-star service speaks for itself.
We used them for Christmas lights and could not have been happier. The entire process was so simple and our lights looked amazing. Very high quality and didn’t have one light bulb out the entire season. Highly recommend using them for your holiday lighting!
Bailey Pullin
Hands down recommend Beth and Alex with Christmas Lights and roofing consultations. Their communication is on point! Excellent service through your whole experience. We have been using them for two years now and will continue! Thanks yall!
Carin Gonzales
Highly recommend. Merry and Bright by Suntex Roofing made our home merry and bright this holiday season and are now my permanent go-to for my holiday lighting needs.
Chad Mandrell
The other day I had James Rose from SunTex do a courtesy inspection of our roof they replaced a little over a year ago. Mr. Rose was professional and knowledgeable when discussing how the drone inspection reveals no flaws or damage to the roof. I would definitely recommend SunTex to anyone look to have roof work done.

Alex Keller with SunTex Roofing exceeded! SunTex gave us a great experience from start to finish. The entire crew protected our new windows, plants, AC units, garden structures and even pool. I HIGHLY recommend this Texas local roofing company.

SunTex provides unmatched customer support and response times. We moved into a new house with the previous owners creating a massive hole upon moving out. SunTex came out immediately and provided a temporary patch to mitigate damage from an incoming storm. Then came back for the official repair a few days later.
Alex Chase
Leanne and her team do GREAT work! Fast and clean as they do your roof replacement process. Leanne and her team are very professional. They get the job done. We are very pleased with our new roof, cutters and the restoration of our fence after the Salado Tornado this past April.

Wind damage is easy to underestimate, because the shingles still on the roof may have lost their seal. A free assessment with photos tells you what the storm actually did, and whether a repair covers it.
We will be straight about where we are, because an older version of this page pointed Temple homeowners to a Plano address. SunTex has one office, at 12800 Westridge Blvd, Suite 162, in Frisco, the address on our Google listing. What we have for Temple is a Central Texas team: a sales manager and two project managers whose job titles say Central Texas, all named on our About page.
We started in 2022 and we are 100% woman-owned and operated. When you call about a Temple roof, you get people whose names you can look up, an estimate in writing, and a project manager who stays with the job until you have walked the finished roof together.
NOAA's Storm Events Database, the federal record of severe weather, lists 17 thunderstorm wind reports filed under Temple between 2010 and mid-2026, on 15 separate days, and another 5 under the Temple airport (NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database). Some of them read like roof damage reports:
These are the reports someone filed, under the nearest named place. They are not a full list of every gust that reached a Temple roof, and across all of Bell County NOAA lists 95 thunderstorm wind reports and 9 tornado reports over the same years. The file also holds a 2.5-inch hailstone measured on the south side of Temple in May 2020 and filed under a nearby place name, and we photograph damage from storms like that one for Temple wind and hail damage repair, documented storm by storm.
After a windstorm, three questions decide what happens next. First, is the damage bad enough to replace, or will a repair hold? Second, will insurance be involved, and what does the adjuster need to see? Third, who will keep an eye on the roof afterward, so the next storm does not catch anyone out?
We answer the first two on the free assessment, in writing and with photos. The third is what our Roof Care Program is for: scheduled inspections twice a year, each with a written report, so the roof's condition is on record between storms instead of only after them.
Wind damage often starts small. High winds lift, crack and remove shingles, and that part is easy to spot. Wind can also break the seal strip between shingles without visibly displacing them. From the ground the roof looks fine. The next heavy rain works water underneath the unsealed shingles, and a roof that looked untouched starts leaking from the inside.
Temple's record shows what wind looks like at its worst: a roof peeled back on apartment units on West Adams Avenue and sheet metal stripped from buildings in north Temple.
Hail adds its own damage. NOAA lists 17 hail reports filed under Temple since 2010, 15 of them an inch or larger, including 2-inch hail photographed in south Temple on May 12, 2024. Hail knocks granules loose, bruises the shingle and dents the metal on the roof.
Wind is also not confined to spring here. The Temple wind reports in NOAA's file fall in nine different months, from February through November, with May the busiest. A roof in Temple can take its worst gust in the fall, long after anyone is thinking about storm season.
The pattern on a Temple roof is often both at once, which is why we photograph every slope and the metal around it before we recommend anything.
After a storm, a few choices decide whether you end up with a repaired roof or a new one, and how the roof is looked after from then on.
If the wind damage is confined to one slope and the rest of the roof is in good shape, a repair may be the right call, and we will say so. If damage runs across several slopes, the roof is old, or creased and unsealed shingles are spread around, replacement usually makes more sense than chasing one repair after another. On a single slope, re-fastening and re-sealing wind-lifted shingles on a Temple roof can be all the work it needs.
We install asphalt shingles, designer shingles, tile and standing seam metal. If you are choosing a new roof, ask us for the manufacturer's wind rating on each option in your estimate, so you can compare them before you choose.
A Temple roof, repaired or new, will see more storms. Members of our Roof Care Program get two inspections a year, a written roof health report with photos, sealant touch-ups, priority scheduling after severe weather, and preferred pricing on repairs. Ask about it at your assessment, so you know what membership includes before the work is done. In a city where wind reports turn up in nine months of the year, a check booked twice a year is easier than remembering to call after every storm.
Wind damage is about shingles that moved: missing, lifted, cracked or creased shingles and broken seals. Hail damage is about impacts: dark spots where granules were knocked off, soft bruises, and dents in vents, pipe boots, flashing and gutters. Dented gutters and damage to window screens or outdoor AC units often show a hail event clearly from the ground. Many Temple storms bring both, so it helps to have photos that separate the two.
The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as one that produces a tornado, winds of at least 58 mph (50 knots), or hail at least 1 inch across (National Weather Service glossary). By that measure, 16 of the 17 wind reports filed under Temple since 2010 were severe. The one that fell short still peeled metal off the roof of a fire station. The threshold describes the storm, not the roof, and roofs get damaged below it.
May 22, 2024 produced the most severe roof damage in NOAA's Temple narratives since 2010. A tornado formed near TX-317 between FM 2483 and West Adams Avenue and crossed the Terrace at Lake Pointe subdivision, damaging many homes, especially roofs and windows. At least four homes lost most of the roof. It went on to cross West Adams Avenue, where a few businesses lost most of their roofs, and NOAA rated it EF-2 with maximum estimated winds of 120 mph. A second tornado southeast of Temple, rated EF-1 at 110 mph, tore all the roof material off a home on Shaw Road. The same day, a report NOAA filed under Midway described a metal building destroyed near I-35 and Loop 363 in winds estimated at 87 knots, about 100 mph.
The Enhanced Fujita ratings are estimates made from the damage, not measurements, and an EF-2 rating covers estimated gusts from 111 to 135 mph (NOAA Storm Prediction Center, Enhanced F Scale). On May 22, 2024, NOAA also logged separate thunderstorm wind damage, filed apart from the tornado reports, at the Chapel Hill Apartments and near Loop 363, so a roof near that day's storms deserves an assessment even if it looks intact.
Temple's storm record is not only about houses. The 2024 tornado took most of the roof off a few businesses along West Adams Avenue, and the November 2024 winds stripped sheet metal from buildings in north Temple. We handle roof installs, repairs and replacements for Temple businesses, and we roof multi-family properties too. With renters living in 16,458 of Temple's occupied homes, many roofs here belong to landlords, and they get the same single contact and photo record we give owners who live in the house.
The Texas Department of Insurance says it is generally fine to make temporary repairs after storm damage, but not permanent ones until you have talked to your insurance company. Your policy should pay for the materials and labor of those temporary repairs, so take pictures of the damage before any work and keep the receipts (Texas Department of Insurance, homeowners and disaster claims FAQ). TDI also notes that if you have replacement cost coverage, the first check will likely be for actual cash value, with the rest paid once you show proof of repairs.
Your deductible applies to each claim, not once a year (Texas Department of Insurance, What to know about deductibles). So if two separate storms damage the roof in one season, each claim carries its own deductible. Read your policy, and ask your agent or insurer how it handles separate storm dates.
Temple has 8,302 homes built before 1970, and 1,356 of them date from before 1940. On houses that old, nobody can say from the ground how many roofs have been laid down over the years or what shape the wood underneath is in. When a roof that old needs replacing, a full tear-off answers both questions. Every layer comes off, down to the deck, and any decking that is water-damaged, moldy or structurally unsound is replaced before new underlayment and flashing go on. Your estimate should say how replacement boards are priced, and we photograph whatever we find so you can see it too. Temple also lists roofs among the residential work that needs a building permit, so a full Temple roof replacement, from city permit to ridge cap is planned around that permit from the first visit.
Hail runs from March into May here. Of the 15 inch-plus hail reports filed under Temple since 2010, 8 came in May and 6 in April, spread over 12 storm days. The largest was the 2-inch hail photographed in south Temple on May 12, 2024. Golf ball size hail has been reported on the northeast side of the city, northwest of it, and near I-35 and Loop 363. Belton and Waco have records with larger stones, but Temple's hail lands on the same roofs its wind keeps testing.
Here is how a Temple job runs, from the first call to the last walk around the yard.
When you call, we ask what the storm did, the date, whether anything is leaking, and whether you have opened a claim or plan to.
We assess the roof and the metal around it, photograph the wind and hail damage, and give you a written estimate with our recommendation: repair or replace. If there is a claim, the photos support it.
Your Central Texas project manager confirms the crew date, checks in during the work and walks the finished roof with you. The crew sweeps the yard with magnets for stray nails before leaving.
For a new roof especially, a few steps help the crew:
Before: a Temple roof that has been through a few windstorms shows it at the edges. Shingles are missing along the ridge, a few on the windward side are creased, and a section near the eaves lifts in a stiff breeze. Inside, a stain grows on a ceiling after every heavy rain.
After a repair: the missing and creased shingles are replaced, loose flashing is secured or renewed, and the photos show each spot before and after. After a replacement: the old roof is off, damaged decking is replaced, new drip edge and flashing are in, and the material on top is the one you chose.
Then the roof starts its record. Members of our Roof Care Program, with two inspections a year, get a written roof health report with photos after each visit, sealant touch-ups, priority scheduling after severe weather, and preferred repair pricing. Members also receive complimentary emergency tarp installation when it is needed after a covered storm, while permanent repairs are arranged.
That record helps when the next storm brings a claim: dated photos showing the roof's condition before the wind came through.
Whether you lost shingles in the last storm, have a leak you cannot trace, or own a roof you know is old, start with a free assessment and an honest answer.

Temple roofing questions, answered
Alex Keller is our Central Texas and Austin sales manager, and Travis Gardenhire and Alison Gardenhire are our Central Texas project managers. Behind them, our Frisco office, the only one we have, handles scheduling and paperwork, Beth Keller runs operations, and Leanne Tolbert owns the company. You will have one project manager from estimate to final walkthrough, and that person is the one to call with any question about your job.
Wind damage shows up as shingles that moved or let go: missing, lifted, cracked or creased shingles and broken seals. Hail damage shows up as impacts: dark spots where granules were knocked off, bruised shingles, and dents in gutters, vents and flashing. Many Temple storms bring both, so on a free assessment we photograph each kind of damage separately. That matters for a claim, because the photos tie each problem to what caused it.
Not on their own. A few lifted or creased shingles on one slope can often be repaired. If they are spread across the roof, if seals have failed in many places, or if the roof is old and already worn, replacement is usually the better choice, because every shingle that has lost its seal is a place where the next heavy rain can work underneath. One storm can be enough to tip an old roof over that line, and our free assessment tells you, in writing and with photos, which side yours is on.
Roof Care Program members receive complimentary emergency tarp installation when needed after a covered storm, while permanent repairs are arranged. If you are not a member, call (214) 766-3669, tell us what happened, and we will tell you what we can do. Either way, the Texas Department of Insurance says temporary repairs are generally fine before your insurer sees the damage, so photograph everything first and keep the receipts.
It depends on your policy, so read the declarations page and the wind and hail section, and check your deductible. The Texas Department of Insurance notes that a deductible applies to each claim, and a percentage deductible can be larger than a small repair. We document the damage with photos and support your claim, and the coverage decision is between you and your insurer.
Yes. We handle commercial roof installs, repairs and replacements, and we roof multi-family properties as well as single-family rentals. Temple's record includes business roofs torn off along West Adams Avenue in 2024 and sheet metal stripped from buildings in north Temple. Owners and landlords get the same free assessment, dated photos and single project manager as anyone else, which helps when the owner does not live on site.
