Why Our Professional Storm Damage Porch Repair Delivers Safety, Durability, and Peace of Mind

Storm damage is stressful. You want your porch made safe quickly, rebuilt correctly, and protected against the next wind event. Hiring professionals means fewer risks, faster approvals, and lasting results. We handle emergency stabilization, insurance documentation, permits, and quality repairs that meet code and stand up to Houston weather - so you can get back to normal.

Safety & Risk Elimination

Your first priority is keeping family, visitors, and pets safe. We install temporary shoring and stabilization using steel jack posts, bottle jacks, and laser levels to re‑support sagging roofs and floors. We also tarp or shrink‑wrap damaged roofing to stop water intrusion.

Our crews follow OSHA safety practices with fall protection and controlled access zones. If a tree struck your porch, we coordinate safe debris removal and assess columns, beams, and the ledger attachment. You avoid collapse risks, electrical hazards, and liability while we secure the area and document damage for your insurer.

Professional Results & Quality

Quality repairs begin with proper materials and connection details. We replace rotten posts and beams with pressure‑treated Southern Yellow Pine rated UC4A/UC4B per AWPA U1, use ZMAX/G185 joist hangers and post bases, and fasten with hot‑dip galvanized or stainless hardware compliant with ASTM A153.

We retrofit uplift and lateral resistance with Simpson Strong‑Tie hurricane ties (H2.5A/H10A), straps, and DTT2Z tension ties at house connections. Ledger replacements get butyl flashing tape plus aluminum or copper flashing installed per IRC R703/R507. The result is a porch that looks right and performs right - long after the storm.

Time & Stress Savings

From same‑day tarping to final inspections, we streamline every step. We gather photo/video evidence, measurements, and moisture readings for your claim and meet adjusters on site to explain the scope. We handle City of Houston permits when structural members are involved and schedule required inspections to keep your project moving.

You skip the learning curve and avoid coordinating multiple vendors. One call gets you a clear plan, a dedicated point of contact, and predictable timelines.

Cost‑Effective Solution

Cutting corners after a storm leads to hidden rot, leaks, and mold. We find and fix underlying issues - like failed footings, compromised ledgers, or undersized connections - before they become expensive callbacks. Our IICRC WRT‑informed drying helps prevent mold in porch ceilings and soffits.

We value‑engineer materials for Houston’s humidity and wind, recommending UC4B posts where soil exposure is high and composite/PVC porch boards where water is frequent. Prevent damage now and avoid paying twice.

Peace of Mind & Warranty

We are fully insured, locally established, and accredited, with thousands of successful repairs across Houston. You receive a written scope, schedule, permits where required, and workmanship warranty on completed repairs.

We stand behind our work with detailed closeout photos and a final walkthrough. Our goal is simple: restore your porch, protect your home, and give you confidence when the next storm arrives.

Certified Expertise and Qualifications

Safety and quality come first. Our team holds NADRA Deck/Porch Evaluation training to identify structural hazards others miss. We’re an EPA Lead‑Safe Certified Firm for pre‑1978 homes and follow proper containment and cleanup. IICRC WRT training informs our drying and moisture‑control approach for water‑affected ceilings and soffits.

On site, you’ll see professional practices: OSHA 10/30 safety, personal fall‑protection, and documented pre‑/post‑repair inspections. This combination delivers reliable, code‑compliant results and a smoother insurance experience.

Licensed, Insured, and Code‑Driven

Texas doesn’t require a statewide GC license, but Houston does require permits for structural porch repairs. We manage Residential Repair Permits (HPWCODE1133) and, when applicable, floodplain approvals under the Single‑Family Residential Outdoor Improvement process (HPWFMO1004). We coordinate required inspections so your repair is legal, insurable, and future‑sale friendly.

If your project touches electrical, fans, or gas for an outdoor kitchen, we bring in properly licensed trades through TDLR/TSBPE as needed. You’re protected by our insurance and our code‑first mindset.

Equipment, Methods, and Materials That Last

We use proven components designed for Houston’s humidity and storms: Simpson Strong‑Tie H2.5A/H10A ties, DTT2Z lateral load connectors, SDS/SDWS structural screws, and ZMAX/G185 hardware. Ledgers get butyl tape plus metal flashing; posts and beams are UC4A/UC4B treated as exposure dictates.

Our tool set includes jack posts, bottle jacks, laser levels, moisture meters, roofing nailers, and concrete mixers for new piers. Every detail - from fastener coating to flashing termination - is selected to prevent corrosion, rot, and leaks.

Local Storm Experience You Can Trust

We’ve repaired porches after hurricanes (including post‑Beryl), the 2024 Houston derecho, and countless severe thunderstorms. From Kingwood and The Woodlands to Montrose, Heights, Spring Branch, Katy, and Clear Lake, we understand local soils, tree species, and wind exposure.

We apply FEMA wind‑retrofit best practices and IRC R507 requirements on every rebuild. That means better uplift resistance, correct ledger attachment, and smarter water management for the next storm.

Types of Storm Repair Projects We Handle

We repair front and back porches, covered porch roofs, screened‑in porches, wraparounds, second‑story balconies, and patio covers. Typical scopes include porch column/post replacement, railing and stair repairs, ceiling/soffit rebuilds, and screened porch rescreening and framing repair.

We also perform deck‑to‑porch conversions, carport‑to‑porch tie‑ins, ledger removal and re‑flashing, and historic porch restoration using lead‑safe methods where required.

Our Proven Methods and Standards

Emergency tarping or shrink‑wrap prevents further water damage, while temporary shoring stabilizes roofs and floors. We replace compromised footings/pier blocks and recommend helical piles when soils are unstable. Ledgers are replaced with proper flashing per IRC, and lateral load connectors (DTT2Z) and hurricane ties (H2.5A/H10A) increase resilience.

Hardware is hot‑dip galvanized or stainless; posts and beams are UC4‑rated. Roofing components include underlayment, drip edge, and shingles or impact‑resistant panels where appropriate.

Complex Situations We’ve Mastered

We regularly address fallen tree impacts, porch re‑leveling with screw jacks, and rotten framing hidden by beadboard ceilings. Floodplain requirements? We coordinate submittals and inspections. Failed footings or settlement? We excavate and pour new concrete piers, or coordinate helical pile installation recommendations.

Historic homes get special care: lead‑safe renovation, custom‑milled trim, and corrosion‑resistant fasteners to protect original materials.

Results You Can Expect

Same‑day stabilization is typical. Smaller repairs (single post/railing) often complete in 1–3 days; roof and framing rebuilds run 4–10 days depending on permits, materials, and weather. You’ll receive daily updates, a clean site, and a final walkthrough with documentation.

Case snapshot: After Hurricane Beryl, a Heights porch (77008) suffered a fallen oak and roof uplift. We installed temporary shoring, replaced two UC4B posts and a beam, added H10A ties and DTT2Z connectors, re‑flashed the ledger, and passed inspections - completed in 6 working days.
