Hail, wind and heavy rain damage, handled step by step
Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair
Request an estimate
A storm can hurt a roof in ways you cannot see from the yard. Hail bruises shingles. Wind lifts edges and tears off pieces. Heavy rain finds every gap and sends water into the attic. If this is your first roof problem, the cost and the next steps can feel confusing.
Remainingunit Roofing is a referral service. We do not do the work. We connect homeowners in the Dallas area with independent local providers who inspect the roof and put their findings in a written quote. On this page you will learn what is safe to check yourself, what needs a pro, what drives the price, and how to compare quotes before you spend a dollar.
Storm Just Passed? Start Safe From the Ground
The wind has dropped and the rain has stopped. Now look at your roof, but only from the yard. Wet shingles are slick, and a damaged deck can give way under your weight. Keep kids and pets away from fallen limbs. Stay clear of any downed lines.
What You Can Safely Help With
Some jobs are fine for a homeowner. Keep to what is safe from the ground:
- Walk the yard and note shingle pieces, bent vents and dented gutters.
- Take wide and close-up photos with the date on your phone.
- Use binoculars to spot bare patches or curled edges.
- Check ceilings and walls for new stains.
- Set a bucket under any drip and move furniture away.
What Needs a Pro and the Right Gear
Climbing, tarping and checking the deck need harnesses, proper ladders and practice. In hot, humid weather, shingles turn soft and slippery. A tarp pulled tight over a steep slope is hard work even for people who do it daily. Leave anything on the roof itself to a provider.
How to Spot Storm Damage
Signs of Hail
Hail leaves round dents on gutters, vents and metal flashing. On shingles, look for dark bruises where the gritty granules have been knocked off. Granules piled at the bottom of a downspout are a clue. A soft spot when pressed means the mat underneath may be hurt.
Signs of Wind and Rain
Wind lifts, creases and tears off shingles. Look for bare strips, curled corners and pieces on the lawn. Tropical storm gusts also push rain sideways under flashing and around vents. Brown rings on a ceiling often show where that water got in.
Emergency Roof Repair Means Stopping Water First
Emergency roof repair usually means a tarp or patch over the worst spot, not a finished fix. Many providers can respond quickly, though availability varies after a big storm. Ask what the temporary work costs and whether it is separate from the permanent repair. Keep your receipts.
Why Waiting Costs More
Water always finds the weak spot. In our warm, humid climate, wet insulation and decking can grow mold fast. A small leak becomes stained drywall, then rotted wood. Heavy downpours often return in storm season, so a patched roof gets tested again. Acting early usually keeps the bill smaller.
What a Storm Inspection Covers
A good provider checks more than the shingles. Expect them to look at:
- Shingles on every slope, not just the one you noticed
- Flashing, vents, chimney edges and ridge caps
- Gutters and downspouts
- Decking and insulation from the attic side
- Ceiling and wall stains inside
Ask for photos and a written list of what they found.
Repair or Replace After a Storm?
A few missing shingles on one slope often point to a repair. Hail across every slope, or a roof already near the end of its life, may point to hail damage roof replacement. Ask for both options priced in writing. Compare written quotes before you choose.
Working With Your Insurance
Some policies may cover sudden wind or hail damage. Check your policy, and look at the deductible, which in storm areas can be a percent of the home value. Providers can often help document damage for a claim. Take your own photos first. Your insurer decides what is covered, not the provider.
Be Careful With Door-to-Door Offers
After a storm, strangers may knock. Some are honest local roofing contractors. Others disappear after taking a deposit. Never sign on the spot. Ask for ID, a local address and proof of coverage. Be wary of a big upfront payment, and never sign anything that hands over control of your claim.
Questions to Ask Before You Hire
- Is the quote written and itemized?
- Who does the work, and are they properly licensed and insured in your state?
- What does the temporary work cost, apart from the permanent repair?
- How is decking damage priced if it is found later?
- What warranty comes with materials and labor?
Request a callback to check provider availability in your area.
Know the Price Drivers
Roof size and pitch come first. Then come the number of layers, hidden deck damage, the material and how easy the roof is to reach. Busy storm weeks can also nudge prices up. Itemized quotes let you see where the money goes and compare fairly.
What's Included

A provider looks at every slope, flashing and vents, then writes down what hail or wind did.
Photo Records
Clear photos of damage help you explain the problem to your insurer.
Leak Stopping
Tarps or patches can keep water out while you decide on the permanent fix.

Repair and replacement choices are priced in writing, so you can compare them side by side.

Questions
Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair FAQ
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look from the ground for dented gutters, vents and flashing, plus dark bruised spots or bare patches on shingles. Hail damage is often hard to see, so have a provider inspect the roof.
Should I get on the roof to check storm damage myself?
No. Wet, hot shingles are slippery and a weak deck can give way. Check from the ground with binoculars and photos, then let a provider handle anything on the roof.
Will homeowners insurance pay for storm roof damage?
Some policies may cover sudden wind or hail damage, but it depends on your policy and deductible. Check your policy, take photos, and ask providers to help document the damage for a claim.
