Hail and wind

After the storm, before the claim.

North Texas gets hail most springs. Here is what to check safely, what to photograph and when a free inspection makes sense.

Houses on a suburban street with hail on the lawns

Ground check

Ten minutes, no ladder.

Tick what you find. The list stays on this page only.

Stay off the roof. Everything on this list can be checked from the ground, a window or the attic. Wet or hail-damaged shingles are slippery.

What to do next

Four steps, in this order.

  1. 1

    Make it safe

    Stay off the roof. If water is coming in, move valuables, put a bucket down and call us for an emergency tarp.

  2. 2

    Take photos

    Photograph dents, granules and stains from the ground with the date. Keep a hailstone in the freezer next to a coin for scale.

  3. 3

    Free inspection

    We inspect the roof, mark every hit with chalk and send you a photo report. You decide what to do with it.

  4. 4

    Claim or not

    If the damage is real, you call your insurer. We can meet the adjuster on the roof. If it is not worth a claim, we say so.

We are roofers, not insurance agents or lawyers. We document damage and explain what we see; coverage decisions are made by your insurer under your policy. Many policies have a deadline for reporting storm damage, so check yours.
