Hail Damage Near William Cannon and Manchaca
If you live in the Garrison Park area, you know what Central Texas storms can do to established homes built in the 1980s and 90s. When severe weather moves through 78745, the roof takes the hit. Many homeowners do not see how bad it is until a leak shows up.
We climb up, photograph every impact we find, and show you what is there before we leave your property. The inspection is free.
What We Look for on Your Roof
Adjusters and roofers look at the same physical signs. When we inspect, we check for:
- Exposed mat: Spots on asphalt shingles where granules have been knocked off.
- Circular bruising: Round marks on the shingle surface.
- Cracked or split shingles: Breaks from direct hail strikes.
- Damaged flashing: Around chimneys, vents, and skylights.
- Dented gutters, downspouts, and penetrations: Easy-to-spot metal damage.
We photograph and measure everything so you have a clear record of what hail did to your roof.
We Are Your Roofer, Not Your Adjuster
We bring the evidence. You stay in charge of your claim.
- You file the claim with your carrier and make the decisions.
- We give you photos, measurements, and a line-item estimate you can share.
- At the adjuster visit, we meet them on the roof and walk through what we found. It is not confrontational. Everyone wants the roof properly repaired.
- After that, we send supplements for code items or anything missed.
For coverage questions, talk to your carrier, your agent, or the Texas Department of Insurance.
The Insurance Claim Process, Step by Step
- Free inspection and documentation. We inspect the roof, take detailed photos of every impact, and show you what we found.
- You file the claim with your carrier. If we find hail damage, we can show you what information to have ready.
- We meet the adjuster on site. We walk through our findings on your roof.
- Once approved, we schedule. One of our professional subcontractor crews gets on the calendar. We pull permits as required and send supplements for anything missed.
- One-day install and cleanup. Most South Austin roofs go on in a single day, weather permitting. The crew arrives early and cleans up completely. Your deductible is collected at completion.
How to Spot Hail Damage on Your South Austin Home
After a thunderstorm, many people assume the roof is fine because nothing looks wrong from the street. Mature trees in this area can also block your view of the roofline. If hail larger than a quarter fell, check for:
- Dented gutters and downspouts: Fresh dents mean your roof likely took hits too.
- Granule loss in gutters: An unusual amount of shingle granules collecting in the gutters or at the downspouts.
- Damaged outdoor items: Hail marks on your AC unit, deck railings, or patio furniture are a sign your roof needs a look.
- Cracked or dented vents: These often show damage before the shingles do.
Hail may not cause a leak right away. But impacts strip the protective granule layer, and an older roof then wears out faster than it should. Minor damage this year can turn into a leak next year.
