What Hail Does to a Roof
Hailstones knock granules off shingles and bruise or fracture the mat underneath. The roof may look fine for months — then those impact points start to crack, lose more granules and let water in. On metal roofs, hail can dent panels and damage the finish. A timely inspection after a storm is the best way to catch damage while it is still eligible for a claim under most policies' reporting windows.
Free Hail Damage Inspections
Our hail damage roof repair in Bastrop, TX starts with a free inspection. We check each roof slope for impact marks, test-square key areas, and look at soft metals — vents, gutters, flashing — that show hail size and direction. You get labeled photos either way. If there is no meaningful damage, we tell you so, and you avoid filing an unnecessary claim.
Working With Your Insurance Claim
If we find hail damage, here is the typical path: you contact your insurance company to open a claim, an adjuster inspects the roof, and the insurer issues a scope and payment based on your policy. We can meet the adjuster on site to make sure all damage is documented, then complete the repair or replacement. Insurance rules vary by policy and carrier, so always review yours. Considering an upgrade? Ask about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or metal roofing.
