Wind is a fact of life here on the plains. It is with us all year round, from Amarillo to Albuquerque.

This invisible force of nature can do significant damage. The roofers here at Quail Country Roofing have seen the effects of it all over the place. After a high-wind storm blows through, power lines go down, trees fall over, walls collapse, and signs go tumbling.

And wind can do terrible damage to your roof also. We have seen whole sections of roof shingles stripped off of a roof deck. Fortunately, the homeowners' had wind damage coverage on their insurance. But, that is not the only type of wind-caused roof damage that you need to worry about. A lot of wind damage is less obvious. A single asphalt shingle gets bent back enough to break
