Home › Services › Storm Damage Inspection
North Texas roofs take hail and straight-line wind. What a storm did to one particular roof is a question of evidence, gathered up close, and the useful first step is a documented inspection, not a quote and not a signature.
This site does not publish hail sizes or damage totals for Plano, because it has not found a National Weather Service record that names Plano with a measured size, and it will not borrow a neighboring city's number. One dated report does name the city: NBC DFW wrote on May 22, 2023 that the hail storm of Friday, May 19, 2023 battered “parts of Plano, The Colony, Frisco and Allen.” The sizes in that article were given for Frisco and Allen, not for Plano.
The practical point is the same either way. Whether a storm reached your street, and what it did there, is answered on your roof.
Vent caps, flue covers, gutters and downspouts dent at impacts that leave shingles looking untouched. They show whether hail fell, how big and from which side.
A hail strike knocks granules off and softens the mat beneath. It is found by touch as much as by sight, slope by slope.
A shingle that lifted and folded has a line across it where it will eventually tear.
The wall that faced the storm takes the same hits. Dents, chips and cracked boards on that side belong in the same record. See siding repair.
This site does not file, negotiate, adjust or settle insurance claims, and neither may a roofing contractor in Texas. What your policy covers is between you, your agent and your insurance company.
What an inspection gives you is a dated set of photographs and a written description of the roof's condition. What you do with that record is your decision.
After hail, crews from out of the area often go door to door. Three checks sort them quickly.
Soon, while the evidence on soft metal is fresh and before the next rain tests any opening. There is no need to decide anything on the day.
No. A roofing contractor in Texas may not act as an adjuster or negotiate a claim, and this site does not either. The contractor documents the roof and prices the work; the policy is yours to handle with your insurer.
Hail damage often does not leak for months. Bruised shingles lose granules, then the mat weathers through. A roof can look fine from the yard and still have been shortened by years.
Say when the storm was and what you have noticed. An independent contractor documents the roof before anything is decided.
