How fast can you inspect my Austin roof after a hailstorm?

Austin is our headquarters, so most hail inspections are scheduled within one or two days of your call, and emergency tarping for active leaks is often the same day.

Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Austin?

Most Texas homeowners policies cover sudden hail and wind damage, though not normal wear. If enough of the roof is damaged, insurers commonly pay for a full replacement minus your deductible. A documented inspection is the first step.

What hail damage looks like

Most hail damage is hard to see from the ground.

Central Texas spring storms can bruise shingles without leaving obvious holes. Left alone, those bruises let water in and shorten the life of the roof. These are the signs we look for on every Austin inspection.

Dark spots or bruises where granules were knocked off shingles
Dented gutters, downspouts, vents and metal flashing
Cracked or split shingles and broken ridge caps
Granules piling up at the bottom of downspouts
Dings on window screens, AC units and fences
New ceiling stains or attic leaks after the storm

Right after the storm

Three things to do first.

1
Stop the water
If the roof is leaking, call us for emergency tarping or shrink wrap. Keep the receipt, because protecting the home from more damage is part of most policies.
2
Note the storm date
Write down the date and take ground level photos of dented gutters, screens and hail on the lawn. Stay off the roof and let us handle that part.
3
Free inspection first
We inspect every slope and document each hit with dated photos, then tell you plainly whether you have a claim, a simple repair, or nothing to worry about.
