Storm Damage
What we do on this job.
North Texas sits in one of the most hail-prone stretches of the country, and the spring storms that roll across Tarrant County can drop damaging hail on one subdivision and leave the next one untouched. After a big storm, whole streets in north Fort Worth end up with new roofs within a few months.
Hail damage hides well. A hailstone can crack the fiberglass mat inside a shingle and knock loose the granules that shield the asphalt from the sun, and from the yard the roof looks fine. It keeps shedding water for a while. The bruise turns into a leak a season or two later, often after the deadline for reporting the storm to your insurer has passed.

The Difference
Worth knowing first.
Storm damage detection works from the easy evidence to the harder. Dents in gutters, downspouts, vents, flashing and air conditioner fins show how big the hail was and which direction it came from. Then every slope is checked for bruised shingles, cracked tabs, exposed mat and granule loss, and for creased or missing shingles where wind got underneath. You get photos of what we found.
What happens next depends on how far the damage goes. A few torn tabs or a ridge cap blown loose is a repair. Hail bruising spread across whole slopes usually means replacement, and that is typically when an insurance claim is worth filing.
If the roof is leaking after a storm, the priority is keeping water out of the house until the permanent repair. Move belongings away from the leak, catch the water, take photos inside and out, and stay off the roof. Then call us at (682) 214-7533.
When the roof does come off, it is worth asking about impact-rated materials. Class 4 shingles are tested by dropping steel balls on them, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. DECRA stone-coated steel and standing seam metal both stand up to hail far better than an ordinary shingle.
Storms rarely stop at the shingles. The same hail dents gutters and splits downspouts, and those are commonly part of the same claim, so we look at the whole exterior of the roofline while we are up there.

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, and 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 homeowner policies set a deadline measured from the date of the storm, often one or two years. Check yours and do not wait for a leak.
Should I call a roofer or my insurance company first?
Most homeowners have the roof inspected first, so they know whether there is damage worth claiming. The inspection is free.
Will a new roof be more hail resistant?
It can be. Class 4 impact-rated shingles, DECRA stone-coated steel and standing seam metal all hold up to hail much better than a standard shingle.
