Why most storm damage goes unnoticed

Hail damage on asphalt shingles usually looks like small dark spots where granules were knocked off, or soft "bruises" you can only feel by hand. From the driveway, a hail-hit roof often looks fine. The clues are on the softer things around your home: gutters, vents, AC fins and screens.

What to do after hail or high wind in Missouri City

  1. Stay safe. Avoid downed power lines and don't climb on the roof.
  2. Document. Photograph dents, debris and any interior water spots, with dates.
  3. Prevent more damage. If water is coming in, call us about an emergency tarp.
  4. Get an inspection. A free roof inspection confirms whether there's damage worth claiming.
  5. Then decide on a claim. See the Fort Bend County roof insurance claim guide.

Watch out for storm chasers

After big storms, out-of-town crews knock on doors across Missouri City. Be cautious with anyone who offers to "cover your deductible" (illegal in Texas), pushes you to sign that day, or can't give you a local address.

FAQ

Questions about this tool

Still unsure? Call (512) 297-7580 and talk it through with a roofer.

01How soon after a storm should I get my roof inspected?

As soon as practical, ideally within a few weeks. Many Texas policies set deadlines for reporting storm damage, and small breaks can leak with the next rain.

02Can I see hail damage from the ground?

Usually not on the shingles themselves. Dents in gutters, vents and AC fins are the best ground-level clues.

03Will filing a claim raise my premium?

Weather claims are generally treated differently from at-fault claims, but every insurer is different. Ask your agent, and get an inspection first so you only file when there's real damage.
