Roofing · Hail · Fort Worth · DFW
Hail dents aren’t cosmetic. A ground-level look often treats them like they are.
The difference between “your roof is fine” and “your roof needs full replacement” often comes down to how thorough the inspection was — not only what you can see from the street.

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 — insurers sometimes distinguish these differently than manufacturers do.
- 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.
- 05 Are you comparing repair vs. full replacement? Manufacturer specs often require full slope replacement (not spot repair) once damage exceeds a certain 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?
Often yes — functional damage doesn’t require an active leak to be covered; it requires documented impact damage. Coverage still follows the policy.
Can I get a second roof inspection if my claim was denied?
Yes, and it’s common — a first denial is often written from a limited inspection.
