Just Had a Hailstorm? Here's What You Need to Know

Your neighborhood just got pounded by hail. Maybe you heard it hammering your roof. Maybe you woke up to find dents in your car or chunks of ice in your yard. Now you're wondering: is my roof damaged? And if so, what do I do about it?

The good news: If you have homeowner's insurance and your roof has hail damage, your insurance will almost certainly pay to repair or replace it. Hail damage claims are among the most straightforward storm claims because the damage is visible and well-documented by weather services.

The challenge: You can't see your roof from your driveway. Hail damage to shingles isn't obvious from the ground. And there's a right way and a wrong way to handle the insurance process.

Here's what to do right now:

1

Check for obvious signs.

Look at your gutters, downspouts, AC unit, and car. Dents on metal surfaces mean hail hit your property. Your roof likely took the same impacts.

2

Don't climb on your roof.

It's dangerous, and you could accidentally damage evidence the adjuster needs to see.

3

Take photos of any visible damage.

Dented gutters, damaged cars, hail still on the ground. This documents the storm event.

4

Call us for a free inspection before calling insurance.

We'll get on the roof, find and document ALL the damage, and prepare everything you need for your claim.

We offer free hail damage inspections and can usually be there within 24-48 hours of your call.

Roofers already knocking on your door?

That happens after every hailstorm. Some are legitimate, many are not. Before you sign anything, read our section on how to spot storm chasers. And get at least one quote from a local company that's been here longer than the storm.

Hail damage roof inspection in Austin TX neighborhood

Your Neighbors Are Getting New Roofs. Should You?

After a major hailstorm, you'll notice something: roofing trucks everywhere. Your neighbors getting new roofs. Door knockers telling everyone they have damage.

Here's what's actually happening: When hail hits a neighborhood, it hits EVERY roof in that neighborhood. If your neighbor three doors down has damage, you almost certainly do too. Hail doesn't skip houses.

This creates a legitimate opportunity:

Your insurance company charges you premiums to cover exactly this situation. If your roof has hail damage, you're entitled to have it repaired or replaced. This isn't gaming the system. It's using the coverage you've been paying for.

But there's a catch: You need to document the damage properly and file your claim correctly. Insurance companies don't just hand out new roofs. They send adjusters who assess damage, and those adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. You need someone who knows how to document hail damage thoroughly and advocate for fair compensation.

How Do I Know If My Roof Has Hail Damage?

Unlike wind damage, hail damage leaves physical evidence. Here's what we look for during inspections:

Signs you can see from the ground:

  • Dents in gutters, downspouts, and vents
  • Damage to AC units, grills, or patio furniture
  • Dings on your car (if it was outside)
  • Granules accumulated in gutters or at downspout exits
  • Visible damage to neighbors' roofs

Signs we find on the roof:

  • Circular cracks or "bruises" on shingles (soft spots)
  • Exposed black fiberglass mat where granules knocked off
  • Cracked or broken shingles
  • Dented metal flashing around chimneys and skylights
  • Impact marks in consistent patterns across the roof

The hidden danger:

Hail damage often looks cosmetic but actually compromises your roof's waterproofing. When hail knocks off granules, it exposes the asphalt layer to UV rays. The shingle deteriorates rapidly and fails years before it should. What looks like "minor" damage now becomes a leak in 2-3 years. This is why professional inspection matters. We find damage you can't see from the ground and document it in a way insurance adjusters can't dismiss.

Will Insurance Pay for Hail Damage? (Almost Always Yes)

Hail damage is one of the most commonly approved insurance claims in Texas. Unlike wind damage (where insurance sometimes argues "wear and tear"), hail damage is hard to dispute. The dents are there. The weather reports document the storm. The damage patterns are unmistakable.

What insurance typically covers:

  • Damaged shingles (repair or full replacement)
  • Damaged flashing, vents, and ridge caps
  • Damaged gutters and downspouts
  • Interior damage caused by roof leaks
  • Replacement with equivalent or better materials

On deductibles:

If your deductible is $2,500 and the damage only warrants $3,000 in repairs, filing a claim might not make sense. But if you have widespread hail damage requiring $15,000+ in repairs or a full replacement, filing absolutely makes sense. Our free inspection helps you understand what you're dealing with.

On fair settlements:

Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company. Their job is to assess damage fairly, but they're also trained to find reasons to minimize payouts. Having a roofing professional who knows how to document damage and meet with adjusters makes a significant difference.

Worried about rate increases? In Texas, insurers generally cannot raise your premium for weather-related claims. Hail is an act of nature, not negligence.

Already Dealing With Hail Damage? Here's Your Next Step

No matter where you are in the process, we can help.

"The hailstorm just happened."

Call us for a free inspection before calling insurance. Let us document everything first.

"I see dents in my gutters but roof looks fine from the ground."

You likely have roof damage too. Hail hits everything. Free inspection will confirm.

"Roofers are knocking on my door."

Be cautious. Get quotes from local companies, not just storm chasers. We're here since 2008.

"My neighbor got a new roof. Can I?"

If the same storm hit your roof, you probably have the same damage. Call us to inspect.

"I already filed a claim. Adjuster is coming."

Call us NOW. We should inspect and document before the adjuster arrives.

"The adjuster said I don't have enough damage."

We can provide a second inspection and help you file a supplemental claim or dispute.

"The hailstorm was months ago."

You likely still have time. Texas allows 1-2 years. Call us to assess if it's worth filing.

"I don't know if the damage is worth my deductible."

That's exactly what our free inspection answers. No obligation.

Getting a New Roof? Consider Impact-Resistant Shingles

If your hail claim results in a full roof replacement, you have an opportunity to upgrade.

Better Protection

Class 4 shingles survive hailstorms that destroy standard shingles

Insurance Discounts

Many Texas insurers offer 5-35% premium discounts for Class 4 roofs

Peace of Mind

Central Texas is "Hail Alley." Another storm is coming eventually.

The cost difference:

Impact-resistant shingles cost 15-30% more than standard shingles. But with insurance discounts, the upgrade often pays for itself within 5-7 years. And you avoid going through this whole process again after the next hailstorm. We can help you decide during your claim process.

Roofers Knocking on Your Door? Read This First

After every major hailstorm, contractors flood affected neighborhoods. Trucks with out-of-state plates. Crews going door to door. Promises of "free roofs." Some are legitimate. Many are not.

Red flags to watch for:

Shows up at your door unsolicited

Especially right after a hailstorm

Pressures you to sign immediately

"This offer is only good today"

Offers to "waive your deductible"

This is insurance fraud

Out-of-state plates or no local address

They'll be gone before you discover problems

Asks for large upfront payment

Legitimate contractors don't require this for insurance work

Claims you "definitely have damage"

Without even getting on your roof

What legitimate contractors do:

  • Give you time to decide without pressure
  • Provide a local address and verifiable references
  • Have established Google reviews and years in business
  • Inspect your roof before making claims about damage

We've been in Austin since 2008. We're not going anywhere.

What Austin Homeowners Say After Hail Damage Repairs

Real stories from homeowners we helped recover after severe hailstorms

Robert H.

Google

Didn't think the hail was that bad until Altair showed me the damage up close. Cracked shingles, exposed fiberglass, granules everywhere in the gutters. They documented everything, the insurance claim was approved, and now I have a beautiful new impact-resistant roof.

Austin, TX

Diana L.

This is my third hail claim in Central Texas, and Altair handled it better than anyone. Their documentation was thorough, they knew exactly what the insurance company needed, and they advocated for full repair coverage. Smooth process, quality repair.

Austin, TX

Chris M.

Insurance adjuster initially missed half the hail damage. Altair met with them, walked the roof pointing out every impact, and got the assessment revised. Ended up with a full replacement covered. Couldn't have navigated this without their expertise.

Austin, TX

Vanessa T.

After the October hailstorm, Altair was on our roof within two days documenting every single impact point. Their report included over sixty photos with annotations, and our insurance approved the full claim without pushback. Truly exceptional hail damage documentation.

Austin, TX

Marcus W.

Altair identified extensive granule loss across our entire south-facing slope after a spring hailstorm we barely noticed. They explained how the exposed asphalt would deteriorate rapidly and helped us file a claim. New impact-resistant shingles are now in place and we feel much more protected.

Austin, TX

Tamara J.

Our adjuster was ready to deny our hail damage claim until Altair stepped in. They met the adjuster on the roof, pointed out every cracked shingle and dented vent, and presented their detailed documentation. The claim was approved that same week for a full replacement.

Austin, TX

Brandon K.

Altair replaced our hail-damaged roof with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and our insurance premium dropped by nearly 20 percent. The upgrade paid for the deductible difference in less than two years. Smart recommendation from a team that truly understands hail protection.

Austin, TX

Lisa R.

Google

We had no idea our shingles were cracked from hail until Altair came out for an inspection. The fractures were only visible up close, running through the fiberglass mat underneath the granules. Altair documented everything meticulously and our insurance covered the entire replacement.

Austin, TX

Derek P.

Google

After two hailstorms in one season, Altair assessed our roof and found damage from both events. They separated the documentation by storm date so we could file properly with insurance. Their attention to detail made what could have been a nightmare claims process completely manageable.

Austin, TX

Heather N.

Altair repaired hail damage on our relatively new roof and matched the existing shingles perfectly. They replaced only the sections that needed it and resealed the surrounding areas. Honest assessment that saved us from an unnecessary full replacement. I appreciate their integrity.

Austin, TX

Jason F.

Altair walked our roof with the insurance adjuster and pointed out hail strikes the adjuster had overlooked on the ridge caps and around the vents. The revised assessment came back nearly double the original amount. Their expertise during the adjuster meeting was invaluable.

Austin, TX

Monica G.

Altair found significant hail damage on our flat garage roof that we never would have spotted ourselves. Dents in the membrane, compromised seams, and pooling water from warped sections. They repaired everything and reinforced the vulnerable areas against future hail events.

Austin, TX

Craig B.

Google

We called Altair after noticing piles of granules washing out of our downspouts following a hailstorm. Their inspection confirmed widespread granule loss across the entire roof. The documentation they prepared for our insurance company was so thorough that the claim was approved on the first submission.

Austin, TX

Angela D.

Altair helped us upgrade to impact-resistant shingles after our third hail claim in five years. They handled the insurance paperwork for the current damage and recommended a Class 4 product that qualifies for premium discounts. No more worrying every time a storm rolls through.

Austin, TX

Nathan S.

The hail cracked shingles on our roof in a pattern that was easy to miss from the ground. Altair climbed up and showed me exactly where each impact fractured the shingle surface. Their thorough hail damage assessment gave us the evidence we needed for a successful insurance claim.

Austin, TX

Karen E.

Altair replaced our entire roof after a severe hailstorm and completed the job in just three days. The crew was professional, the cleanup was spotless, and the new architectural shingles look incredible. They coordinated directly with our insurance company so we barely had to lift a finger.

Austin, TX

Philip C.

I was skeptical that golf-ball sized hail could damage a five-year-old roof, but Altair proved it with their inspection. They showed me shingle cracking, bruised spots where the mat was compromised, and dented flashing around every pipe boot. Their documentation was undeniable.

Austin, TX

Stephanie A.

Altair met with our insurance adjuster twice to make sure every bit of hail damage was accounted for. The first meeting caught the roof damage, and the second addressed gutters and vent covers the adjuster initially skipped. Their persistence got us full coverage for everything.

Austin, TX

Trevor M.

Google

After Altair documented our hail damage, they recommended upgrading to impact-resistant shingles rated for two-inch hail. The insurance payout covered the standard replacement and we paid a small difference for the upgrade. Best investment we have made for our home in years.

Austin, TX

Danielle V.

Altair inspected our roof after the April hailstorm and found over forty distinct impact marks on a single slope. They photographed and cataloged every one for our insurance file. The claim was processed quickly and Altair had our new roof installed within two weeks of approval.

Austin, TX

Raymond L.

We had hail damage we did not even know about until Altair came out for a routine inspection. They found cracked shingles along every ridge and hip line where the hail impact was most severe. Their honest assessment and clear documentation made the insurance process straightforward.

Questions Homeowners Ask After Hailstorms

Answers to the questions we hear most often

The hailstorm just happened. What should I do first?
Document any visible damage to your property (cars, gutters, AC units) with photos. Don't climb on your roof. Call us for a free inspection before calling your insurance company. We'll document all roof damage properly so nothing gets missed when you file your claim.
I don't see any damage from the ground. Do I still need an inspection?
Yes. Hail damage to shingles is rarely visible from ground level. Cracked shingles, granule loss, and bruised spots are only visible when you're on the roof. If your neighborhood was hit by hail, your roof was too. A free inspection takes the guesswork out of it.
My neighbor got a whole new roof from insurance. Can I get one too?
If the same hailstorm hit your roof, you likely have similar damage. Whether you qualify for repair vs. replacement depends on the extent of damage. Schedule a free inspection and we'll tell you exactly what you're dealing with.
How do I know if the damage is worth filing a claim?
It depends on the extent of damage vs. your deductible. If you have $1,500 in damage and a $2,500 deductible, filing doesn't make sense. If you have $15,000 in damage, filing absolutely makes sense. Our free inspection gives you real numbers so you can decide.
Will filing a hail claim raise my insurance rates?
In Texas, insurers generally cannot raise your premium for weather-related claims. Hail is an act of nature. The damage exists whether you file or not. Not repairing it leads to bigger problems and potentially voided coverage down the road.
The adjuster said I don't have enough damage for a full replacement.
This happens often. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. We can provide a second inspection with detailed documentation and help you file a supplemental claim. Many initial assessments get revised upward with proper evidence.
The hailstorm was a few months ago. Is it too late to file?
Probably not. Texas typically allows 1-2 years to file hail damage claims. However, waiting makes documentation harder because the damage can be attributed to subsequent weather events. Call us for an inspection to assess your situation.
What's the difference between repair and replacement?
If hail damaged a small section of your roof, we can repair just that section by replacing affected shingles. If damage is widespread across the entire roof surface (which is common since hail falls everywhere), full replacement makes more sense. We assess your specific situation and recommend the right solution.
Should I get impact-resistant shingles?
If you're getting a full replacement, strongly consider it. Class 4 shingles cost 15-30% more but often qualify for insurance premium discounts of 5-35%. They also survive future hailstorms better. In Central Texas 'Hail Alley,' the upgrade often pays for itself.
A roofer came to my door and said I definitely have damage. Is that true?
Maybe, but be cautious. Legitimate contractors don't diagnose damage from your driveway. They get on the roof and inspect before making claims. Door knockers after storms are often storm chasers who will say anything to get your signature. Get a second opinion from a local company.
How long does the whole process take?
Typical timeline: Inspection within 24-48 hours. Insurance adjuster visit within 1-2 weeks. Approval within 2-4 weeks. Repairs completed within 1-3 days after approval (or 2-4 days for full replacement). Total time from hailstorm to completed roof is usually 4-8 weeks.
What if I already signed with another roofer but I'm having second thoughts?
Texas law gives you three days to cancel most door-to-door contracts. If you're outside that window, review what you signed carefully. If you're locked in with a company you don't trust, we can at least give you a second opinion on whether their scope of work is appropriate.
