COMMERCIAL
STORM DAMAGE
REPAIR.
North Texas and Southern Oklahoma sit in one of the most active severe weather corridors in the United States — hail, straight-line winds, and tornadoes are annual realities for commercial property owners throughout the region. Griffin Restoration has spent 26+ years responding to commercial storm damage across this geography, self-performing emergency stabilization and permanent exterior repairs with our own crews and equipment.
What Commercial Storm Damage Repair Includes
From emergency response through permanent exterior restoration — complete storm damage repair services for commercial buildings.
Emergency Response & Tarping
When a severe storm breaches a commercial building envelope — whether through hail impact on EIFS or stucco, wind-driven panel displacement, or debris impact on glazing — the priority is preventing secondary water damage to the building interior and its contents. Emergency tarping and temporary weather protection stop the bleeding while permanent repairs are scoped and permitted. For occupied commercial buildings, rapid response is a financial necessity: interior damage to tenant improvements, inventory, or equipment can dwarf the cost of the exterior repair itself.
Griffin Restoration responds to commercial storm damage calls across North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Our boom trucks allow us to access high and difficult areas where standard ladders can't reach, and our crews are experienced in temporary protection installation that will hold through additional weather events rather than failing in the next rain. We document pre-repair conditions thoroughly as part of every emergency response — this documentation becomes the foundation of any insurance claim that follows.
Hail Damage Assessment
North Texas delivers an average of 2-3 significant hail events per year, and Grayson County's open terrain provides no topographic shelter from these weather systems. Commercial hail damage presents differently than residential — metal coping, EIFS, exposed aggregate panels, aluminum curtain wall, and masonry facades each exhibit distinct impact signatures that require substrate-specific assessment. Visual inspection alone is insufficient for many commercial assemblies: EIFS systems, for example, may sustain subsurface fracturing that creates water infiltration pathways with no visible surface indication.
Our hail damage assessments cover the vertical building envelope — facades, window perimeters, metal flashings, equipment screens, sealant joints, and cladding panels. The written assessment we deliver documents impact locations, substrate conditions, compromised areas, and recommended repair scope in a format designed to support your insurance submission. We have 26+ years of experience documenting commercial storm damage in the North Texas and Southern Oklahoma market.
Wind Damage Restoration
High-wind events cause commercial building damage that ranges from displaced coping and flashing to partial panel separation to complete facade system failure. Aluminum composite panel (ACP) systems, metal wall panels, EIFS, and prefabricated cladding assemblies are all susceptible to wind uplift when fasteners corrode, panel joints open, or original installation tolerances were insufficient for the wind loads the building actually experiences. In North Texas, the Fujita-scale tornadoes and straight-line derecho winds that move through the I-35 and US-82 corridors regularly exceed the design wind pressures of older commercial assemblies.
Wind damage restoration on commercial buildings requires structural assessment of anchor points and backup substrates, not just replacement of the visible damaged panel. Reattaching a coping section without inspecting and repairing the underlying blocking or nailer results in a repeat failure in the next event. Griffin Restoration evaluates the full assembly condition — substrate, air barrier, insulation, attachment hardware, and cladding — before specifying a repair approach. This prevents the common outcome of spending restoration dollars on work that fails before the insurance claim closes.
Permanent Exterior Repairs
Emergency tarping and temporary protection are the first step — permanent repair is the deliverable that actually protects the asset. Permanent storm damage repairs on commercial buildings involve substrate reconstruction, system replacement, color and texture matching, sealant programs, and coating applications that restore the building envelope to pre-storm performance. For insurance-funded projects, the permanent scope must match the adjuster-approved damage documentation — undocumented additional scope creates disputes that delay project completion and payment.
Griffin Restoration self-performs the exterior trades that commercial storm repair requires: masonry, concrete, EIFS, coatings, sealants, and metal flashing. We don't broker storm work to subcontractors — our own trained crews execute the repair with the same crews that performed the initial assessment, ensuring continuity between documented scope and actual field conditions. Across North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, property owners and managers bring us in specifically because our self-performing model produces faster project completion and fewer cost surprises than general contractor-managed storm repair programs.
