Hail and wind roof inspection in Fort Worth — document before you agree to repair
Street-level “looks fine” is not an inspection. Covering, flashing, attic, and rooms below have to match before anyone sells a full tear-off — or a patch that voids the system.
If the roof is open and taking water — call 817-632-2522 first.

What we inspect (photo packet)
A hail or wind file is a photo path, not a driveway opinion. We photograph the system in the same order we walk it so covering, flashing, attic, and rooms below can be compared later — including against a carrier estimate that only saw the street.
- Covering — impact marks, bruises, missing tabs, ridge/hip, penetrations.
- Flashing / metal — step, counter, valleys, wall intersections.
- Attic — daylight, wet decking, blown insulation, drip path.
- Rooms below — ceiling stains, wet drywall, contents at risk.
Interior water after storm openings is a drying job — structural drying. Multi-peril envelope (tarp, board-up, attic, interior, then rebuild) sits on storm damage restoration. This page owns the roof system. Hail walkthrough: hail roof inspection in Fort Worth.
Repair vs replace
Repair when a repair still makes a weather-tight system. Replace when the covering or decking won’t hold a repair. Manufacturer and code constraints matter — we write what the roof showed, not a driveway promise.
Spot patches next to hail-bruised shingles can look cheaper on paper and still fail as a system. Granule loss, mat exposure, and lifted tabs are not “cosmetic” just because they aren’t dripping in the living room yet. A leak is a late signal. The inspection has to happen before the covering is sold, torn, or painted over from below.
If rooms below already took water, do not paint the stain first. That hides the drip path. Document the ceiling, the attic, then the roof — then dry to readings. PRC does not settle the claim. We document the roof and, when asked, the wet rooms under it.

Walk through your situation
- 01 Has your roof actually been inspected, or did the adjuster look from the ground? Ground-level and drone photos miss a lot of granule loss and mat exposure that a hands-on inspection catches.
- 02 Is this cosmetic hail bruising or functional damage? Bruising can compromise the shingle’s waterproofing layer even without a visible hole — carriers and manufacturers do not always use the same language.
- 03 Did the storm event get an official hail-size record for your address? NOAA storm event data can support a claim date and severity if the adjuster disputes that storm damage occurred — not a coverage guarantee.
- 04 Has the insurance company already denied the claim once? A denial isn’t final — a documented reinspection request is a normal next step, not an escalation. We still don’t settle the claim.
- 05 Are you comparing repair vs. full replacement? Manufacturer specs often require full slope replacement (not spot repair) once damage exceeds a threshold — worth knowing before you agree to a patch.
The one thing most people don’t know
Many manufacturers limit or deny warranty coverage on a repair patch next to hail-damaged shingles once granule loss exceeds their spec — meaning a “repair” that skips this can put remaining roof warranty at risk even if insurance approved the patch. Check your shingle warranty before you agree to spot repairs.

Roofing FAQs
Will insurance cover hail damage that isn’t leaking yet?
Coverage follows the policy — PRC doesn’t decide what the carrier pays. What we do is document impact damage (covering, flashing, attic, rooms below) so the file shows what the storm did, whether or not there’s an active leak yet. For consumer guidance on claims and choosing a contractor in Texas, see the Texas Department of Insurance tips on getting your claim paid.
Do I have to use the carrier’s preferred roofer?
Generally you choose the contractor in Texas. Preferred lists are optional — program contractors · TDI B-0017-17.
Do you settle my claim?
No. We inspect, document, and perform roof work. We do not settle claims. We are not a public adjuster. Thin estimate? Estimate review.
Is a bruised shingle always a full replacement?
No. Repair when a repair still makes a weather-tight system. Replace when the covering or decking won’t hold a repair. Manufacturer and code constraints matter — we write what the roof showed.
