Hail Happens: A Texan’s Guide to Protecting Your Roof After a Storm

September 2, 2025

Introduction: When the Sky Turns Against Your Roof

Texans know hailstorms all too well. One moment, the sky is calm; the next, ice the size of golf balls is hammering rooftops across Dallas–Fort Worth. While cars and windows often get the spotlight, your roof is the structure that takes the heaviest beating.
That’s why so many homeowners turn to Renown Roofing and Construction after hailstorms. With over a decade of serving the DFW Metroplex, we’ve helped thousands of families recover from roof damage, file successful insurance claims, and rebuild stronger than before. 

The Hidden Impact of Hail on Your Roof

Hail damage isn’t always obvious. At Renown Roofing and Construction , our HAAG-certified inspectors regularly uncover damage that homeowners didn’t even realize was there, such as:
  1. Bruised or Cracked Shingles – Tiny fractures that let in water.

  2. Dents in Metal Components – Damaged flashing and gutters that redirect water into your home.

  3. Compromised Sealant – Loosened adhesive makes shingles vulnerable to wind.

  4. Weakened Roof Deck – Subtle damage that shortens your roof’s lifespan.

  5. Accelerated Aging – Even minor hail hits reduce roof performance over time.

Homeowners who call Renown Roofing and Construction immediately after a storm avoid these issues from turning into larger, costlier repairs.

Step 1: Safety First

After a storm, resist the urge to climb up and check things yourself. Wet shingles and hidden damage can make roofs unsafe. Renown Roofing and Construction advises homeowners to:
  • Stay indoors until conditions are safe.

  • Take photos from the ground of your home, yard, and vehicles.

  • Contact Renown Roofing for a professional inspection instead of risking injury.


Step 2: Schedule a Renown Roofing Inspection

Hail often leaves behind hidden scars that only experts can identify. That’s why Renown Roofing and Construction provides: 
  • Free Roof System Inspections – A full evaluation of shingles, flashing, gutters, and more.

  • Infrared Leak Detection – Advanced imaging uncovers trapped moisture invisible to the eye.

  • Comprehensive Documentation – Clear photos and reports to support your insurance claim.

By calling Renown Roofing first, you’ll know exactly what insurers should cover—and what repairs are essential to protect your home.

Step 3: File Your Insurance Claim with Confidence

Dealing with insurance can be overwhelming, but Renown Roofing and Construction removes the stress. Our licensed adjusters often secure 30–40% higher payouts for clients compared to homeowners who file on their own. We handle:
  • Meeting with your insurance adjuster on-site.

  • Explaining the scope of damage in detail.

  • Ensuring fair, honest settlements without hidden costs.

When you work with Renown Roofing , you’re not just getting a contractor—you’re gaining an experienced partner who knows how to navigate insurance for your benefit.

Step 4: Repairs or Full Replacement?

Once insurance is approved, Renown Roofing and Construction helps homeowners make the right call:
  • Roof Repairs – For limited hail strikes, our crews replace damaged shingles, fix flashing, and restore the roof to full strength.

  • Full Roof Replacement – If the storm caused widespread destruction, Renown installs premium systems from brands like CertainTeed, Atlas, and DaVinci—backed by warranties of up to 50 years.

  • Commercial Roofing Solutions – Businesses benefit from Renown’s advanced commercial systems (TPO, PVC, EPDM) with a 20-year No-Dollar-Limit warranty .

No matter the choice, Renown Roofing ensures your home or business is protected for the long haul.

1) How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Many signs are subtle: shingle bruising, granule loss, dents in flashing/gutters, lifted sealant, or moisture intrusion. A HAAG-certified inspection is the safest way to confirm.
2) How soon should I get an inspection after a storm?
Immediately. Hidden damage worsens with each rain/wind event, and insurers often have claim time limits in your policy.
3) Will a metal roof always dent in hail?
Large hail can dent metal, but many profiles and gauges resist cosmetic damage well; dents are often superficial. Proper underlayment also helps.
4) Do I need to meet the insurance adjuster myself?
We recommend Renown meets them on-site to document damage and ensure an accurate scope—this is where many homeowners see better outcomes.
5) Will filing a hail claim raise my premiums?
Hail is typically considered a no-fault (act of nature) event. Insurer policies vary by state and carrier; we’ll help you understand typical impacts before you file.
6) What if the insurance company underpays or denies my claim?
We provide comprehensive documentation and can re-inspect and submit supplements when warranted. Many underpaid claims are resolved with better evidence and scoping.
7) Is repair enough, or do I need a full replacement?
If damage is localized, targeted repairs can restore performance. Widespread impacts, compromised decking, or systemic shingle bruising typically justify replacement—and insurers often agree when properly documented.
8) Which upgrades help most before the next storm?
Impact-resistant shingles, seamless gutters with guards, correct ventilation/insulation, and a biannual inspection schedule. These extend life and reduce future risks.
9) What warranties does Renown offer?
We install premium systems (e.g., CertainTeed, Atlas, DaVinci) with manufacturer warranties up to 50 years, plus workmanship coverage—your exact terms will be in your proposal.
10) Can Renown help with emergency tarping or leaks right now?
Yes. We can tarp, dry-in, and mitigate to prevent further interior damage while your claim is processed.
11) How long does the process take—from inspection to completion?
Inspections are same- or next-day when possible. Claim review varies by carrier, but once approved, most residential projects are completed in 1–3 days, weather permitting.
12) Do you handle commercial roofs too?
Absolutely—TPO, PVC, EPDM and more, with 20-year No-Dollar-Limit options available.
