Hail & Storm DamageBased in Southlake, TX

Hail and wind damage found, photographed and repaired, or the roof replaced when it has to be.

Storm Damage

What the job covers.

Northeast Tarrant County gets hail most years, and a bad spring can send storms across Southlake, Keller and Colleyville more than once. Protecting a home against Texas weather, and hail especially, is a large part of what a roofer here does, and it is a large part of what we do.

Hail damage hides well. A hailstone that hits a shingle can crack the fiberglass mat and knock loose the granules that shield the asphalt from the sun without leaving anything you would notice from the yard. The roof keeps shedding water for a while, and the bruise becomes a leak a season or two later, often after the window for an insurance claim has closed.

The Difference

Before you decide.

A storm inspection works from the easy evidence to the hard. Dents in gutters, downspouts, vents, flashing and the air conditioner fins show how big the hail was and which way it came from. Then each slope gets checked for bruised shingles, cracked tabs, exposed mat and granule loss, and for creased or missing shingles where wind got underneath. You get pictures of what we found.

What happens next depends on the extent of it. Scattered wind damage, a few torn tabs or a ridge cap that blew off, is usually a repair. Hail bruising spread across whole slopes usually means the roof needs replacing, and that is typically when an insurance claim is worth filing.

Storms rarely stop at the roof. The same hail dents gutters, cracks siding and chips window frames on the side of the house facing the storm. We handle gutters, siding and windows as well as roofs, so the repairs from one storm can be scoped and done together.

If you are replacing a roof after hail, ask about impact-resistant shingles. The highest rating, Class 4, is tested by dropping steel balls on the shingle, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for it.

Before You Call

Storm Damage, answered.

How can I tell if hail hit my roof?

Check the soft metal first. Dented gutters, downspouts or vents after a storm strongly suggest the shingles were hit too. Granules piling up at the bottom of the downspouts are another sign. Only an inspection on the roof confirms it.

How long do I have to report hail damage?

It depends on your policy. Many Texas policies set a deadline measured from the date of the storm, often one year. Check your policy and do not wait for a leak.

Should I call a roofer or my insurance company first?

Many homeowners have the roof inspected first so they know whether there is damage worth claiming. If there is, you file with your carrier.

What should I do if the roof is leaking after a storm?

Move belongings away from the leak, catch the water, take photos inside and out, and stay off the roof. Then call (817) 523-1308.
