Holmes Roofing & Exterior Solutions repairs hail-damaged roofs across the San Antonio metro from our home base in Selma, TX. We are a GAF-certified, family-owned local crew — licensed with the City of San Antonio (HIC-24-00928) and insured — with a 5.0-star Google rating from local homeowners. South Texas hail season peaks March through June and can stretch into August, and a single storm can drop hail from pea-sized to larger than a baseball at 20-40 mph. If your roof took a hit, we provide a free inspection, document the damage with photos, and walk you through the Texas insurance claim process before any work begins. Typical hail repair jobs in the San Antonio market run $5,000-$8,000, and most approved insurance claims cover the bulk of it. Call (210) 440-1013, Monday-Saturday 9am-6pm.
Check from the ground first: shingle granules collecting in gutters and downspouts, dents on gutters, downspouts, or roof vents, and dark spots or bruises on shingles are the most common signs of hail damage. Inside the house, water stains on ceilings after a storm mean damage has already let moisture through. Gutter and downspout dents matter more than they look — gutters protect your roofing system by moving water away, and a dented run can interrupt water flow enough to cause real water damage around your foundation. Some hail damage is invisible from the ground entirely, which is why an on-roof inspection is the only reliable way to know. Do not climb up yourself; impact-bruised shingles can be slick and unstable underfoot. Holmes inspects hail-hit roofs across San Antonio at no charge and gives you straight answers about what we find.

Hail strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles, and that granule loss is the start of most hail-related roof failures. Texas hail ranges from pea-sized to grapefruit-sized and falls at 20, 30, even 40 miles per hour. Those granules are not cosmetic — they shield the shingle from UV rays and contribute to fire resistance. Once an impact loosens them, they shed into your gutters, and the exposed shingle starts absorbing moisture and breaking down. Larger hail goes further, leaving dents and dark punctures that compromise the shingle outright and open a path for leaks. Wind speed, hail size, and your roofing material all shape how bad the aftermath is, and cosmetic damage and functional damage are equally worth documenting for an insurance claim. Excessive granule loss usually means targeted shingle repair; widespread punctures can tip the answer toward replacement.
In the San Antonio market, a typical roofing job — repairs and partial replacements blended — runs $5,000-$8,000, while a full roof replacement on a 2,000 sq ft home runs roughly $18,000-$28,000, or about $2.50-$5.00 per square foot installed. Where your roof lands in those ranges depends on hail size, how much of the roof took impact, and your shingle type. The good news: when hail is the cause, an approved homeowners insurance claim typically covers repair or replacement minus your deductible, so your out-of-pocket cost is often far below the sticker price. For homeowners paying directly, Holmes offers financing through our Synchrony Financial partnership. We give you an exact written quote after a free inspection — no estimate ranges over the phone, because no honest roofer can price hail damage without seeing it.
Usually yes — Texas homeowners policies generally cover hail damage, and Texas is a replacement-cost-value state, meaning an approved claim pays what it costs to restore your roof, not just its depreciated value. You have up to 3 years to file a hail damage claim in Texas, but documenting damage promptly makes claims far easier to approve. The standard process: initial insurance estimate, then a supplement negotiation until the carrier and contractor agree on scope. Before any work starts, we encourage every homeowner to be clear on exactly which services insurance will cover — not everything is covered, and we want you confident in what you’re signing. One warning: Texas law (HB 2102) makes it illegal for a roofer to offer to pay or waive your insurance deductible. Any contractor advertising “we’ll cover your deductible” is breaking state law — walk away.
A Holmes hail inspection is free, and you get our findings in writing with photos. We get on the roof and check the areas hail actually hits: shingle surfaces for bruising and granule loss, ridge caps, flashing, vents, skylights, and the gutters and downspouts that show impact dents most clearly. We photograph everything we find, because those photos are the documentation an insurance adjuster needs to approve a claim. Then we tell you honestly which repairs are needed, which can wait, and whether the damage justifies an insurance claim at all. We never add on services you don’t need — that integrity is the reason local homeowners rate us 5.0 stars on Google. If you do file a claim, we can be on-site for the adjuster’s visit so the damage we documented gets a fair look. Schedule your free inspection or call (210) 440-1013.
Hail damage compounds: what starts as granule loss or a small puncture becomes a leak, and a leak left alone becomes mold, rot, and structural trouble. Repairing promptly helps you avoid:
There is an insurance reason to move quickly too: although Texas gives you up to 3 years to file a hail claim, adjusters approve claims more readily when the damage is fresh and clearly storm-related rather than weathered and ambiguous. And after every major San Antonio hailstorm, out-of-town storm chasers flood the market and disappear when the warranty work comes due. Scheduling with an established local contractor early — before the post-storm rush — gets your roof protected sooner and keeps accountability in town.
Holmes Roofing & Exterior Solutions is a GAF-certified installer, licensed with the City of San Antonio (HIC-24-00928), insured, and family-owned — a local Selma crew, not a storm-chasing outfit that leaves town after hail season. San Antonio homeowners rate us 5.0 stars on Google. We believe no matter the issue, there’s always a solution, and we bring transparency to every appointment: we never add unnecessary services, we put findings in writing with photos, and we make sure you know what insurance covers before work begins. We offer financing through Synchrony Financial and back our work with warranty coverage. We’re available Monday through Saturday, 9am-6pm, at (210) 440-1013 — and when a storm rolls through the San Antonio metro, a local crew gets to your roof faster than a call center.
