South Texas hail can strip granules and crack shingles without leaving an obvious sign from the ground. Our free inspection documents exactly what a storm left behind.
South Texas hail can strip granules and crack shingles without leaving an obvious sign from the ground. Our free inspection documents exactly what a storm left behind.
Hail impact bruises and strips granules from asphalt shingles, cracks tile, and dents metal panels — damage that’s often invisible from the ground but weakens the roof’s ability to keep water out. South Texas hail season runs roughly March through August.
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for an insurance claim — our free inspection documents exactly what you’ve got, with photos, in writing. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf. That part is between you and your insurance company.

Impact spots that strip the protective granule layer or leave soft, bruised circles on asphalt shingles — easy to miss from street level.
Hail and wind together can crack shingles or lift their seal, opening a path for water on the next rain even if nothing looks obviously broken.
Repair Options →Bent or displaced flashing around chimneys and vents is a common storm casualty and a common hidden leak source afterward.
Leak Repair →Hail doesn’t damage every roof system the same way, which is why our inspection is tailored to your specific roof rather than a generic checklist:
Whatever your roof is made of, see our full roof types page for repair and replacement options specific to that system.
There is no honest flat price for hail repair — two houses on the same street, hit by the same storm, routinely need very different work. What we can tell you before anyone climbs a ladder is what the first step costs: the inspection and the written quote are free, and we do not price hail damage sight-unseen. Once we have walked your roof, you get an itemized written quote covering exactly what we found, and you approve it before anything is scheduled. Four things move that number more than anything else.
A few bruised shingles on one slope is a different job from impact across every elevation. Hail is directional — the inspection maps which slopes actually took the hit, not just the one visible from the driveway.
Asphalt shingle, tile and metal each take hail differently and each repair differently. Material cost, availability and how much of a section has to come off to make a clean repair all shift with the system you have.
The single biggest swing in the number is whether the roof can be spot-repaired or has reached the point where replacement is the better call. If replacement is on the table, our roof replacement cost factors page walks through what drives that side.
Decking and underlayment condition is only fully visible once damaged sections are opened up. Sound decking keeps the job tight; soft or rotted decking has to be replaced before new material goes down, and that shows up in the scope.
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for an insurance claim, and your written report gives you a dated, photographed record of exactly what we found. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf. Your policy — not state law — sets the terms that matter, so read it and talk to your carrier directly. If you are paying out of pocket, Holmes also offers flexible financing through Synchrony.
Hail-cracked seals and lifted shingles don’t always leak on day one — but the next hard rain can find that opening. Getting a documented inspection quickly does two things: it protects the rest of your roof from a small problem becoming a bigger one, and it gives you a dated, photographed record of the damage while it’s fresh, which matters if you do talk to your insurance company. We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours of your call, with same-day roof checks and tarp-in-24 emergency service if water is already getting in.
There is no flat price — cost depends on how far the damage spreads, your roof material, whether the roof can be repaired or needs replacing, and the condition of the decking underneath. What is fixed is the first step: the inspection and the written quote are free, and we do not price hail damage sight-unseen. You approve an itemized written quote before any work is scheduled.
Yes — the roof inspection plus your written report cost you nothing, with no obligation to hire us. You get photos of what we found, what is damaged, what is fine, and what we would recommend, and you are free to take that report anywhere.
Granule loss, bruised or cracked shingles, and dented metal or vent caps are the usual signs — but a lot of hail damage isn’t visible without getting up on the roof. A free inspection is the only reliable way to know.
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for a claim — our free inspection documents exactly what you’ve got. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf. Your policy sets the terms that matter — read it and talk to your carrier directly.
We walk the roof top to bottom, photograph anything we find, and give you a written report — what’s damaged, what’s fine, and what we’d recommend, no pressure either way.
A cracked or lifted shingle that looks minor today can let water in on the next rain. Getting ahead of it with a documented inspection protects the rest of the roof and gives you a paper trail if you do file a claim.
Asphalt shingles bruise and lose their protective granule layer; tile can chip or crack on direct impact; metal panels can dent. Each material shows damage differently, which is why the inspection looks at your specific roof type rather than a generic checklist.
Stay off the roof yourself, photograph any obvious damage from the ground if it’s safe to do so, and call us. We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours, with same-day roof checks and tarp-in-24 emergency service if a leak has already started.
