How can I tell if my roof has hail damage?

Most hail damage is not visible from the ground. Common signs include dented roof vents and gutters, granules collecting at the bottom of downspouts, and dark spots or bruises on shingles. A close inspection on the roof is the only reliable way to know.

How soon after a storm should I schedule an inspection?

As soon as it is safe. Small cracks can let water in during the next rain, and many insurance policies set time limits for reporting damage, so check your policy and have the roof looked at promptly.

Will you meet my insurance adjuster?

Yes. If you file a claim, we will meet your adjuster on site, walk the roof with them, and show the damage we documented. Your insurance company decides what is covered.

Can I upgrade to impact-resistant shingles when my roof is replaced?

Yes. Many homeowners choose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles when they replace a storm-damaged roof. Some Texas insurers offer premium discounts for them, so ask your agent.

Do you offer emergency roof tarping?

Yes. We are available 24 hours a day to tarp storm-damaged roofs and keep water out until repairs can be made.

Storm & Hail Damage

Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair in The Colony, TX

North Texas sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country, and most of our severe weather arrives between March and June. A storm can pass in ten minutes and leave damage that is almost impossible to see from the driveway. Hail bruises and cracks shingles, knocks off the protective granules, and dents vents, flashing, and gutters. Straight-line winds lift shingle tabs, break the seal strips that hold them down, and open the door for leaks during the next rain.

Different Roofing is a storm damage roofing contractor based in The Colony. After a storm, we get on the roof, document what we find, and give you a clear answer about whether your roof needs a repair, a full replacement, or nothing at all.

What We Check After a Storm

Shingles: bruises, cracks, missing granules, creased or lifted tabs, and broken seal strips.
Soft metals: dents in roof vents, turbines, pipe jacks, flashing, and drip edge, which help show the size and direction of the hail.
Gutters and downspouts: dents, splits, and loose sections. See our gutter installation and repair page.
Attic and decking: signs of new leaks, wet insulation, or daylight through the roof deck.
Siding, fences, and windows: collateral damage that often gets missed.

Photo Documentation and Meeting Your Adjuster

Every free roof inspection includes detailed photos of each slope and the damage we find, along with a written summary you can keep. If you decide to file a claim with your insurance company, we will meet your adjuster on site and walk the roof with them so the damage we documented is seen firsthand. Your insurance company makes the coverage decision; our job is to make sure the condition of your roof is clearly documented.

Repair or Replace?

Isolated wind damage can often be fixed with a targeted roof repair. Widespread hail bruising across several slopes usually calls for a full roof replacement, because patching a roof with damaged shingles throughout rarely holds up. If you are replacing, it is worth asking about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which are built to stand up to the next hailstorm and may qualify for a discount with some Texas insurers.

Emergency Tarping, 24 Hours a Day

If a storm opens up your roof, we are available 24 hours a day to tarp and dry in the damaged area so the inside of your home stays protected until permanent repairs are made.
