What hail damage looks like

• Dark spots or bruises where granules have been knocked off shingles.
• Cracked or split shingles.
• Dents in gutters, vents, flashing and metal roof panels.
• Granules collecting in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts.

Some damage is hard to see from the ground. A close inspection on the roof is usually needed.

Why it matters even without a leak

Shingles that lose granules age faster in the sun. A roof that does not leak right after a storm can still have shortened life. That is why insurers and roofers look closely at hail hits.

What to do after a hailstorm

1. Take photos of any visible damage, including dented gutters, cars or outdoor equipment.
2. Check your insurance policy for the deductible and claim deadlines.
3. Get an inspection from a local, licensed roofer.
4. If you file a claim, be present when the insurance adjuster inspects the roof, if possible.

Watch out for storm chasers

After big storms, out-of-town crews often go door to door. Be careful with anyone who asks you to sign a contract on the spot, offers to cover your deductible, or asks for a large payment upfront.

What affects the price

• Repair versus full replacement.
• Roof size and material.
• Insurance coverage and deductible.
• Code upgrades required during replacement.

In Texas

Texas sees frequent hailstorms in spring, especially in North and Central Texas. Many Texas policies have a percentage-based deductible for wind and hail. Read your policy so you know your share before a storm.

How adjusters and roofers check for hail damage

After a hailstorm, a roofer or adjuster looks for signs of damage on the shingles and on other surfaces. Soft metals like gutters, vents, flashing and air conditioner fins often show dents, which can confirm that hail hit the area and suggest the size of the hailstones. On the roof, they look for:

• Bruising, where the shingle feels soft when pressed, like a bruise on fruit.
• Granule loss in round spots, exposing the black asphalt underneath.
• Cracks in the shingles.
• Exposed fiberglass mat.

They often mark a test square on each side of the roof and count the hits. Insurance companies use this to decide whether the roof needs repair or replacement.

Why hail damage matters even without a leak

Hail can knock granules off shingles and crack the asphalt mat without causing an immediate leak. The granules protect the shingles from the sun, so damaged shingles age faster and can start leaking months or years later. A roof that looks fine from the ground may have damage that shortens its life significantly.

Working with your insurance company

Document the storm date and take photos of damage to the roof, gutters, siding, windows and cars. Contact your insurer promptly, since policies have deadlines for filing claims. Ask the roofer to be present when the adjuster inspects the roof, so they can point out damage. Review your policy for the deductible, which in some areas is a percentage of the home's insured value for wind and hail claims.

Repair or replacement

If damage is limited to a few areas, the roof may be repaired. If damage is widespread, or matching shingles are not available, replacement may be needed. Insurers decide based on the extent of damage and the policy terms.

After major storms, out-of-town contractors may go door to door. Check that any roofer has a local address, insurance and references before signing.

Hail can also damage siding, windows, screens, gutters and AC units. Include these in your claim.

Temporary protection after a storm

If hail has broken shingles, skylights or vents and water is getting in, a roofer can tarp the damaged area until repairs are approved. Keep receipts for emergency work, since many policies cover reasonable steps taken to prevent further damage. Photograph the damage before and after the temporary repair, and avoid throwing away damaged materials until the adjuster has seen them. If many homes in your area were hit, roofers may be booked for weeks, so getting on a schedule early helps.
