After a Hail Storm in DFW: What to Do First
Once the storm passes, photograph hail stones next to a coin or ruler, dented gutters, damaged screens and cars. Date-stamped photos help your claim.
Catch water, move valuables, and call for emergency tarping. Most policies expect you to prevent further damage.
A professional inspection tells you whether damage meets your deductible, so you don't open a claim you don't need.
Policies set limits on how long after a storm you can report damage. Don't wait until the next season.
Storm Damage FAQs
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look for dented gutters, downspouts, AC fins and window screens. If those are hit, your shingles likely were too. Granule loss and soft, bruised spots on shingles usually can't be seen from the ground, which is why an on-roof inspection matters.
What size hail damages a roof in North Texas?
Hail around 1 inch (quarter size) and larger commonly damages asphalt shingles, especially on older roofs. Wind-driven hail can do damage at smaller sizes.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
Get an inspection first. A documented inspection shows whether the damage is worth filing for, which protects you from opening an unnecessary claim.
Is the storm inspection really free?
Yes. Call 469-906-2600 or book online. You get the findings whether or not you hire us.
