Leander Just Got Hit by Hail. Here's What You Need to Know.
You heard it—ice hammering your roof, pinging off the gutters, bouncing off the driveway. Maybe it lasted five minutes, maybe twenty. Now you're outside looking at dents in your car, dings in the downspouts, and wondering what happened to the roof you can't see.
Here's the reality: If hail dented metal surfaces around your Leander home, it hit your shingles with the same force. Shingles don't dent—they crack, bruise, and lose granules. That damage is invisible from the ground but it compromises your roof's ability to shed water. Left unaddressed, it leads to premature shingle failure and leaks that develop gradually over months.
The good news: Hail damage is one of the most straightforward insurance claims in Texas. The impacts are measurable, the storm is documented by weather services, and the damage patterns are distinct. If your roof has hail damage, your insurance almost certainly covers repair or replacement.
What to do right now:
Look for ground-level evidence.
Dented gutters, downspouts, mailbox, AC unit, car. Hail hits everything at the same intensity. If metal surfaces show damage, your shingles took the same impacts.
Photograph everything you can see.
Dented surfaces, hail still on the ground, damaged patio furniture or siding. Timestamped photos document the storm event and strengthen your claim.
Do not get on your roof.
It's dangerous, and walking on damaged shingles can worsen the damage or destroy evidence the adjuster needs to see.
Call us for a free inspection before calling insurance.
We get on the roof, find and document every impact area, and prepare claim-ready evidence. Your initial filing sets the baseline for your settlement—start with thorough documentation.
We respond to hail damage inspections in Leander within 24-48 hours. Free inspection, zero obligation.
Door-knockers already showing up?
They always do in Leander—especially in the newer neighborhoods where homeowners may be going through this for the first time. Before you sign anything, read our storm chaser warning section below. And get at least one quote from a company that's been in the Austin area longer than the storm.

Half Your Neighborhood Is Getting a New Roof. Should You?
After a significant hailstorm, Leander neighborhoods transform. Roofing trucks parked on every other street. Dumpsters in driveways. The sound of nail guns from 7 AM on. Your neighbors are filing claims and getting new roofs. You're wondering if you should too.
Here's the simple truth: Hail doesn't skip houses. If homes around you in Crystal Falls, Travisso, or Block House Creek have confirmed hail damage, your roof took the same hits. You live under the same sky.
This is what your insurance is for.
You've been paying premiums to cover exactly this scenario. Filing a legitimate hail damage claim isn't gaming the system—it's using the coverage you pay for every month. The damage is real, documented by weather services, and your policy is designed to cover it.
The important part: Getting the full settlement you're owed depends on documentation. Insurance adjusters minimize payouts—it's their job. Having a roofing professional who knows how to document hail damage thoroughly and meet with adjusters on-site makes a measurable difference in your outcome.
What Does Hail Damage Look Like on a Leander Roof?
Unlike wind damage, hail leaves physical evidence on your roof. Here's what we find during inspections across Leander neighborhoods.
What you can spot from the ground:
- Dents in gutters, downspouts, and metal vents
- Dings on your car, mailbox, or AC condenser
- Damaged patio covers, fence caps, or outdoor furniture
- Granule buildup at downspout exits or in flower beds
- Neighbors getting inspections or new roofs
What we find on the roof:
- Circular fractures or "bruises"—soft spots where the fiberglass mat cracked beneath the surface
- Granule displacement exposing black asphalt layer
- Cracked or shattered shingles from large hailstones
- Dented metal flashing at chimneys, walls, and pipe boots
- Consistent impact patterns across multiple slopes proving hail causation
Why this matters even if your roof "looks fine":
Hail damage accelerates shingle aging in ways that aren't immediately visible. When hail displaces granules, it exposes the asphalt layer to Central Texas's intense UV radiation. That exposed area deteriorates three to five times faster than protected shingle surfaces. What looks like "minor" cosmetic damage today becomes a leak path in 18-36 months. On Leander's newer homes with production-grade shingles—which are thinner than premium lines—this degradation happens even faster. Professional inspection catches damage you can't see from 30 feet below.
Will Insurance Pay for Hail Damage in Leander? (Almost Always)
Hail damage claims are among the most commonly approved in Texas. The storm is documented, the impacts are measurable, and the damage patterns are distinctive. Unlike some claim types, there's rarely a dispute about whether the damage is real.
What insurance typically covers after hail:
- Damaged shingles—repair or full replacement
- Damaged flashing, vents, and ridge caps
- Gutters and downspouts
- Interior water damage from hail-caused leaks
- Replacement with equivalent or upgraded materials
On deductibles in Leander:
Many newer Leander policies include percentage-based wind/hail deductibles (typically 1-2% of your home's insured value) rather than flat-dollar amounts. On a $400,000 home, that's a $4,000-$8,000 deductible. If your hail damage only warrants $5,000 in repairs, filing may not make sense. But if widespread damage requires $15,000+ or a full replacement, the math works clearly. Our free inspection gives you real numbers to decide.
On getting a fair settlement:
Insurance adjusters work for the carrier. After big Leander hailstorms, they handle dozens of inspections per day and sometimes rush through roofs—walking only the front slopes and missing damage on the back. Having a roofing professional who documents every slope, every penetration point, and meets with the adjuster changes the outcome.
Worried about rate increases? Texas law generally prevents insurers from raising your premium for weather-related claims. Hail is an act of nature, not negligence. Not repairing the damage creates bigger problems—and potentially voids your coverage for subsequent related damage.

From Hailstorm to Restored Roof: The Complete Leander Process
Free Inspection (Within 24-48 Hours)
We inspect every slope, ridge, hip, valley, and penetration point. On Leander's newer homes, we also check for pre-existing builder issues the hail may have worsened. Every impact gets documented with photos and notes.
We Show You What We Found
Honest assessment with photos. Is this worth filing a claim? Is the damage above your deductible? What are your options? We give you facts so you can decide.
You Decide Whether to File
If damage exceeds your deductible, we help you file correctly with professional documentation. If not, we tell you honestly and explain what to watch for going forward.
We Meet Your Adjuster on the Roof
We walk every slope together, show all documented damage, and make sure nothing gets left out. Most Leander homeowners have never been through this—we've done it thousands of times.
Choose Your Materials
Standard replacement with matching shingles, or upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for insurance discounts and better protection. We walk you through the options.
Repair or Replacement Completed
Most Leander hail repairs finish in 1-3 days. Full replacements on standard production-home rooflines typically complete in one day. Full cleanup, documented results, guaranteed work.

Getting a New Roof? Upgrade to Impact-Resistant Shingles
If your hail claim results in a full roof replacement, you have a one-time opportunity to upgrade your protection. In Leander's hail-prone location, this decision pays for itself.
Proven Hail Resistance
Class 4 shingles withstand 2-inch steel ball impacts in UL 2218 testing. They survive storms that destroy standard shingles.
Insurance Premium Savings
Many Texas insurers offer 5-35% premium discounts for Class 4 roofs. On Leander home values, that's significant annual savings.
Break the Cycle
Leander will get hit by hail again. Impact-resistant shingles mean you won't repeat this entire insurance process next time.
The math for Leander homeowners:
Impact-resistant shingles cost 15-30% more than standard shingles. On a typical Leander home, that's $1,500-$3,500 more. But if your insurance premium drops by even 10%—common for Class 4 upgrades—you recover that cost within 3-5 years. And you skip the stress, disruption, and deductible expense of your next hail claim. For homeowners planning to stay in their Leander home, it's almost always the smarter investment.
Storm Chasers Target Leander's Newer Neighborhoods. Protect Yourself.
Leander's rapid growth makes it uniquely vulnerable. Thousands of homes built since 2015 means thousands of homeowners navigating hail claims for the first time. Storm chasers know this—and they show up within hours of every significant hailstorm.
Red flags to watch for in Leander:
Knocking on doors the same day as the storm
Local roofers are helping existing customers—not canvassing Crystal Falls and Travisso for new leads
"You definitely have damage" without climbing up
No one can diagnose hail damage from your driveway. They're telling you what you want to hear to get a signature
"We'll waive your deductible"
This is insurance fraud in Texas. Any roofer offering this is breaking the law and will cut corners on your roof to recover the cost
Pressures you to sign on the spot
"This deal expires today." It doesn't. Your insurance claim is based on damage, not when you hire a contractor
No verifiable local address
Operating from a hotel or temporary office. They'll be gone before warranty issues surface
Wants a large deposit before work begins
Legitimate contractors handling insured hail work don't require substantial upfront payment
What a legitimate hail damage contractor looks like:
- Inspects your roof before making any claims about damage
- Physical business address in the Austin/Leander area you can verify
- Google reviews from local homeowners spanning years—not just recent months
- Gives you time to decide without manufactured urgency
- Meets with your adjuster and explains the process transparently

What Leander Homeowners Say After Hail Damage Repairs
Real stories from Leander homeowners we helped recover after hailstorms
Rachel Dominguez
April hailstorm hit Mason Hills hard. We watched golf-ball-size hail pound our roof for ten minutes. A storm chaser showed up the next day and told us we needed a full replacement—$18,500. Didn't feel right hiring someone we'd never heard of. Called Altair instead. They inspected the next morning, confirmed widespread hail damage across all five slopes, and built our claim package with 70+ annotated impact photos. State Farm approved a full replacement with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. The storm chaser wanted $18,500 out of pocket. Insurance covered the whole thing minus our deductible.
Brandon Yoo
Our adjuster walked exactly two slopes on our Cold Springs home—the front and one side. Approved a partial repair for $3,100. I knew there was more damage but didn't know how to prove it. Altair inspected every square foot, found hail damage on all four slopes plus the ridge cap and three pipe boots the adjuster never checked. Filed a supplement with their documentation. Second adjuster approved a full replacement—$14,800 total settlement. $11,700 more than the original offer.
Amanda Thornton
Wasn't sure if the hail we got was even big enough to damage our Travisso roof. Three neighbors were getting new roofs and I was on the fence about whether to bother. Called Altair for their free inspection just to know. They found 40+ hail impacts on our south-facing slope alone, plus cracked ridge cap and a bruised pipe boot. Turned out we had $13,000 in legitimate damage. Insurance approved a full replacement. Glad I didn't just ignore it—that damage would have caused leaks within a year or two.
Cynthia V.
After the spring hailstorm, we had dents all over our roof. Altair documented every bit of damage, met with our insurance adjuster, and made sure we got full coverage. The repair was done in a day and our roof looks brand new. They made the insurance process painless.
Brandon A.
Two storm chasers knocked on our door offering free inspections. We called Altair instead—a local company we could trust. They found legitimate hail damage, handled the insurance paperwork, and did quality repair work. No pressure, no games, just honest service.
Kelly R.
Golf ball sized hail cracked several shingles and dented our gutters. Altair assessed the damage honestly—some areas needed repair, others were just cosmetic. They only fixed what was necessary and our insurance covered everything. Refreshing to work with a company that does not inflate claims.

Hail Damage Questions Leander Homeowners Ask
Answers to the questions we hear most after hailstorms hit Leander
- Hail just hit Leander. What should I do first?
- Document visible property damage with timestamped photos—dented gutters, car dings, damaged AC units, hail still on the ground. Do not climb on your roof. Call us for a free inspection before contacting your insurance company. We document roof damage professionally so your initial claim filing is as strong as possible.
- Does Leander really get enough hail to damage roofs?
- Yes. Leander sits on the western edge of what meteorologists call Central Texas's hail corridor. Storms building over the Hill Country hit Leander with regularity. The 2021 and 2023 hailstorms caused widespread roof damage across Crystal Falls, Mason Hills, and Block House Creek. It's not a question of whether Leander will get hit again—it's when.
- My Leander home is only 3-4 years old. Can a new roof have hail damage?
- Hail doesn't distinguish between new and old roofs. A three-year-old roof in Bryson takes the same impact as a fifteen-year-old roof in Summerlyn. In some cases, newer production-installed shingles that haven't fully self-sealed are actually more vulnerable to hail—the adhesive strip hasn't bonded completely, so hail cracks propagate more easily.
- I can't see any damage from the ground. Is it worth getting an inspection?
- Almost always yes, if your area was hit by hail. Hail damage to shingles—cracked mats, granule displacement, bruised spots—is invisible from ground level. You have to be on the roof to see it. If your neighbors are filing claims or getting new roofs, your roof took the same impacts. A free inspection removes the guesswork.
- Will my insurance cover hail damage in Leander?
- In almost every case, yes. Hail damage is one of the most straightforward insurance claims in Texas—the dents are measurable, the storm is documented by weather services, and the damage patterns are unmistakable. The real question isn't whether insurance covers it, but whether the adjuster documents the full extent of damage. That's where having a professional on your side matters.
- Will filing a hail claim raise my insurance rates?
- Texas law generally prevents insurers from raising your premium for weather-related claims. Hail is an act of nature. The damage is on your roof whether you file or not—and leaving it unrepaired leads to accelerated shingle failure, leaks, and eventually damage your policy won't cover.
- My adjuster said I only qualify for a partial repair, not a replacement. Is that right?
- Not necessarily. After big storms, adjusters handle dozens of Leander inspections per day and sometimes rush through roofs. They may only walk one or two slopes and miss damage on the back of the house. We can do a second inspection, document what the adjuster missed, and help you file a supplemental claim. Many partial approvals get upgraded to full replacements with proper documentation.
- The hailstorm was several months ago. Can I still file?
- Probably. Texas policies typically allow 1-2 years to file hail damage claims. But waiting makes documentation harder because subsequent weather events complicate the evidence. And every rain that hits your damaged shingles pushes water further into your roof system. Call us for a free inspection while the damage is still clearly attributable to the original storm.
- Should I upgrade to impact-resistant shingles?
- If your hail claim results in a full replacement, strongly consider it. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles cost 15-30% more upfront but many Texas insurers offer 5-35% premium discounts for Class 4 roofs. In Leander's hail-prone location, the upgrade often pays for itself within a few years—and you avoid repeating this entire process after the next storm.
- Storm chasers are all over my Leander neighborhood. Should I hire one?
- Be very cautious. Leander's newer subdivisions attract storm chasers because they're full of first-time homeowners unfamiliar with the claims process. Ask any roofer for a physical local business address, a Texas contractor license, and Google reviews from area homeowners going back years—not just months. If they can't produce all three, choose someone who can.
- How long does the whole process take from inspection to finished roof?
- Typical timeline: free inspection within 24-48 hours, adjuster visit 1-2 weeks after filing, insurance approval 2-4 weeks after adjuster visit, repairs completed 1-3 days after approval (or 1-2 days for full replacement on standard Leander production-home rooflines). Total from hailstorm to completed roof is usually 4-8 weeks. After major storms, adjuster scheduling can stretch longer due to volume.
- What if I already signed with another roofer but I'm having doubts?
- Texas law gives you three business days to cancel most contracts signed at your home (door-to-door sales). If you're still within that window, you can cancel in writing. If you're past it, review what you signed carefully—look for cancellation clauses, Assignment of Benefits language, and scope of work details. We're happy to give you a second opinion on whether their proposed scope matches your actual damage.

Hail Hit Your Leander Neighborhood? Don't Wait to Find Out What's Up There.
Every day you wait, hail-cracked shingles degrade further under Central Texas sun. Granule loss exposes asphalt that dries out and fails. What's a covered insurance claim today becomes an uncovered maintenance problem next year. A free inspection takes 30-45 minutes and tells you exactly where you stand. No obligation, no pressure, no sales pitch.
