Hail in Oak Hill and Travis Country
Storms that cross Highway 290 and MoPac near Oak Hill are no joke. Wind picks up, hail pounds the roof, and afterward you wonder if the house made it through. Travis Country and the neighborhoods around it are established, and they have seen many hail events over the decades.
If you are dealing with possible storm damage in 78749, a free inspection tells you where you stand. We climb up, take photos, and explain what we see. If there is no damage, we say so.
We Are Your Roofer, Not Your Adjuster
We bring the evidence. You stay in charge of your claim.
- Free inspection: Photo documentation of any hail damage on the roof.
- Line-item estimate: A detailed estimate you can share with your carrier.
- Adjuster visit: We meet your adjuster on site and show them the damage so the scope of repairs reflects what is on the roof.
- Supplements: If something is missed or code requires an item, we send a supplement.
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 and document the damage with photos and measurements.
- You file the claim with your carrier. Report promptly after a storm, since many policies expect it. We can show you what information to have ready.
- We meet the adjuster on site. We walk the roof with them and point out the damage.
- Once approved, we schedule. Our professional subcontractor crews are booked, permits are pulled as required, materials are ordered, and we send supplements for anything missed.
- One-day install and cleanup. Our experienced crews complete most residential roof replacements in a single day, weather permitting. Your deductible is collected at completion.
We collect the full deductible on every job, never upfront. Some contractors offer to waive or discount it. Texas law does not allow that, and we will not do it.
How to Spot Hail Damage on Your Southwest Austin Home
Hail damage is not always obvious from the ground, especially on newer roofs. Signs that call for a professional look:
- Dented gutters and downspouts: Circular dents or dings are often the first visible sign.
- Granule loss: Excess granules in the gutters or at the downspout discharge points.
- Cracked or split shingles: Hail can crack shingles right away or create weak points that split later.
- Dented vents, flashing, and AC units: Metal parts show clear dents.
- Soft spots or bruising: Shingles can be damaged underneath even when the surface looks intact.
A quick look from the driveway will not do it. Professional roofers use specific techniques to find damage untrained eyes miss, and hail damage is often more subtle than missing shingles or holes.
