After a hail storm rolls through the Brazos Valley, the most dangerous roofs are the ones that look fine. Hail rarely punches visible holes in a roof — it bruises it. That bruising shortens your roof's life, voids manufacturer warranties if left undocumented, and can quietly turn into leaks a year later.
1. Granules in your gutters and downspouts
Hail knocks the protective granules off asphalt shingles. If your gutters look like they're full of coarse black sand after a storm, your shingles took a beating.
2. Dents in soft metals
Check your gutters, downspouts, window screens, and AC fins. If hail dented the soft metal around your home, it hit your shingles just as hard.
3. Bruised or shiny spots on shingles
Up close, hail hits look like dark bruises or shiny patches where granules are gone. You usually can't see them from the ground — which is why a professional inspection matters.
4. Cracked or lifted shingles
Wind that accompanies hail can lift and crease shingles, breaking their seal. A creased shingle will fail in the next storm even if it lies flat today.
5. Neighbors getting roofs replaced
Hail is a neighborhood event. If roofing crews are working your street, your roof saw the same storm.
The good news: our inspections are free, and we document everything with photos so you have evidence for an insurance claim if you need one. If you suspect hail damage, don't wait — most Texas policies have a limited window to file.
