Reports show hailstones as large as 2 inches in diameter and gusting winds up to 70 mph, leading to structural damage, flipped semi-trailers, and damaged roofs and siding. Dallas News+2Facebook+2
As your trusted roofing partner in North Texas, Town & Country Roofing is committed to helping homeowners recover as quickly and safely as possible after storms like this. Here’s what you should know — and what to do next.
Signs of Storm & Hail Damage to Look For
Even if damage isn’t obvious from the ground, your roof may have suffered more than meets the eye. Here are warning signs:
- Granule loss: Darker spots or exposed mat where hail knocked off protective granules
- Dented or cracked shingles: Circular or “stressed” marks
- Lifting or curling shingles: Wind may have broken sealants
- Damage to gutters, vents, flashing, vents, and skylights
- Interior leaks or stains appearing days later
- Debris or broken tree limbs on roof / around home
We always advise homeowners not to climb up on their own. A professional inspection is safest and more thorough.
What You Should Do Immediately
- Document thoroughly
- Take clear photos and videos of your roof and exterior surfaces
- Get close-ups of damaged areas, dents, cracked shingles, gutters, etc.
- Photograph the entire perimeter and any interior leaks or stains
- Tarp or temporary covering (if needed)
- If you see open holes or exposed decking, get a tarp to avoid further water intrusion
- Contact us for emergency dry-in / tarping services
- Schedule a professional inspection
- We will walk the roof, assess both visible and hidden damage, and prepare a detailed damage report

Common Questions / FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will my insurance cover this? | Yes — most standard homeowner policies cover hail and wind damage (minus deductible). But the details vary — we can help you understand your coverage. |
| When do hidden damages show up? | Sometimes weeks or months later — leaks, soft spots, or roof rot can set in. That’s why a timely inspection is critical. |
| Is a “cheap” roof quote a red flag? | Often yes — be cautious of flyers, door-to-door contractors, or suspiciously low quotes. Ask for licensing, insurance, and references. |
| Should I wait or act now? | Act now. Even small damage left unchecked can lead to leaks, structural decay, mold, or increased repair costs. |
