Hailstorms in Greater Houston and surrounding communities like Cypress, Katy, and Spring can strike suddenly during severe spring thunderstorms. Unlike falling branches that cause obvious holes, hail damage is often invisible from the street. Many homeowners assume their roof is fine until leaks develop 6 to 12 months later.
When a hailstone strikes an asphalt shingle at terminal velocity, it dislodges protective ceramic granules and crushes the underlying asphalt and fiberglass scrim. The resulting 'hail bruise' leaves soft black spots exposed to direct sunlight. Over months of Texas heat, UV rays deteriorate the unprotected asphalt, turning the bruise into an active water leak.

Essential information for Houston property owners.
Hail damage appears as dark round indentations where granules have been blasted away. When pressed with a thumb, a hail bruise feels soft and spongy like a bruised apple.
Most Texas homeowners policies allow up to 365 days (1 year) from the date of the storm to file a hail claim. However, early inspection ensures maximum documentation credibility.
No! Our 21-point hail and storm damage inspections are 100% free with zero obligation.
Even small hail impacts crush the mineral granules into the asphalt mat, breaking the fiberglass reinforcement beneath. Over subsequent months, Houston UV rays disintegrate the exposed asphalt, creating micro-leaks directly over nail lines.
Under Texas Insurance Code, insurers cannot cancel your policy or raise your individual rate solely for filing an act-of-nature hail claim, as hail is deemed an unavoidable weather event.
Restoring Houston homes after severe tropical storms, hurricane gales, microbursts, and driving rains with certified, storm-ready repairs.
