Expert repair of hail damage, wind damage, and storm-related roofing issues. FREE storm damage inspection and insurance claims assistance throughout DFW.
Hail-damaged roof shingles in Dallas
Dallas-Fort Worth experiences some of the most severe weather in the United States. Spring and summer bring damaging hailstorms with stones up to golf-ball size. Powerful thunderstorms generate straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph. Occasional tornadoes cause catastrophic damage. All of these weather events can severely damage your roof, and that damage isn't always immediately visible from the ground.
At Aroof, we've repaired thousands of storm-damaged roofs throughout DFW since 2010. We understand how Dallas storms damage roofs, how to properly document damage for insurance claims, and how to restore your roof to full protection. Our storm damage services include FREE comprehensive storm damage inspection, detailed documentation with photos for insurance, assistance with insurance claims process, emergency tarping if needed, complete repair or replacement as required, and working directly with insurance adjusters.
Time is critical after storms—insurance companies require claims within 1 year of damage, and unrepaired storm damage voids manufacturer warranties. Small hail dents that seem minor can shorten your roof's lifespan by 10+ years. We provide honest assessments: if your damage is minor and doesn't warrant a claim, we'll tell you. If you need significant repairs or replacement covered by insurance, we'll help maximize your claim and restore your roof properly.
Dallas hailstorms are notorious for roof damage. Hail creates dents in shingles that may not be obvious but compromise their protective layer. Even small hail (penny-size) can damage older roofs. Large hail (quarter-size or bigger) typically causes significant damage requiring replacement.
Action Required: Inspect within days of hailstorm. Document for insurance claim even if not filing immediately.
High winds during Dallas thunderstorms and tornadoes can lift, tear, or completely remove shingles. Wind damage often occurs in specific patterns—edges, ridges, and corners are most vulnerable. Even if most of your roof looks fine, missing shingles create entry points for water.
Action Required: Inspect immediately after high winds. Exposed areas need rapid repair to prevent water damage.
Dallas storms bring down tree limbs and debris that puncture roofs or cause impact damage. Even small branches falling repeatedly can wear away protective granules. Large limbs or entire trees can create catastrophic damage requiring emergency response and extensive repairs.
Action Required: Large tree damage is an emergency. Small impacts should be inspected to assess cumulative damage.
Dallas can receive 3-6 inches of rain in hours during severe storms. This overwhelms drainage systems and can exploit even small roof weaknesses. Prolonged saturation can cause underlayment failure, decking rot, and attic moisture problems.
Action Required: Any water intrusion needs immediate inspection to identify source and prevent ongoing damage.
Direct lightning strikes to roofs or nearby trees can cause fire damage, explosive damage to shingles and decking, electrical system damage, and structural cracking. Even near-strikes can damage roofing materials through electrical surges.
Action Required: Immediate inspection for safety and structural integrity. Contact insurance immediately.
While rare, Dallas ice storms cause significant damage. Heavy ice accumulation adds immense weight to roofs (up to 60 pounds per square foot). Ice dams can form at eaves, causing water backup under shingles and into the home.
Action Required: Inspect after ice melts to assess damage. Address any structural concerns immediately.

Navigating insurance claims can be overwhelming. We've worked with every major insurance company and know exactly how to document storm damage, what adjusters look for, and how to ensure you receive fair compensation.
We conduct a comprehensive inspection documenting every area of damage. We take extensive photos (50-100+ images) from multiple angles, note all affected areas with measurements, identify both obvious and hidden damage, and assess whether damage meets insurance claim thresholds. You receive a complete written report with photos organized for insurance submission.
We prepare a professional documentation package including annotated photos showing each area of damage, detailed written description of all issues, estimate of repair/replacement costs, affected square footage calculations, and comparison with similar storm claims. This package significantly strengthens your claim submission.
You contact your insurance company to open a claim. Provide them with the date of storm damage and our inspection report. Request an adjuster visit. We can assist with this process, but as the policyholder, you must initiate the claim. Most insurance companies respond within 3-5 business days to schedule adjuster inspection.
We meet with your insurance adjuster on your property—this is critical. Adjusters often miss damage or minimize claims. Our presence ensures all damage is identified and documented. We point out issues the adjuster might overlook, provide technical expertise on damage assessment, explain why certain repairs are necessary, and ensure nothing is missed. Having a professional roofer present increases claim approval rates by 40% and average settlements by 20-30%.
After inspection, the adjuster sends an estimate. We review it line by line comparing against our assessment, identifying underestimated items or missed damage, and explaining any discrepancies. If the insurance estimate is inadequate, we help you negotiate by providing supplemental documentation and working toward fair settlement.
Once your claim is approved, we schedule repairs. You typically receive payment in two installments: initial payment (usually 50-75%) and final payment after work completion. We work with your insurance company's requirements and complete all repairs to code. All work is documented with photos for insurance records.
Time Limits: Most policies require claims within 1 year of damage. Don't delay!
Deductible: You pay your deductible (typically $500-$2,500). Insurance covers the rest.
Depreciation: Initial payment may be depreciated. You receive full replacement cost after completion.
Claim Impact: Storm damage claims typically don't raise rates significantly
Denied Claims: We can help you appeal with additional documentation
Code Upgrades: Insurance usually covers bringing roof to current codes
After major Dallas storms, out-of-state "storm chasers" flood neighborhoods offering free inspections. Many are unlicensed, uninsured, provide poor workmanship, and disappear after receiving insurance payments.
Protect yourself: Only work with local, licensed Dallas roofing companies. We've been serving DFW since 2010 and will be here long after your roof is repaired.
Storm damage repair costs depend on extent and type of damage. Here's what Dallas homeowners typically see:
Small sections of missing shingles, minor flashing damage, isolated hail dents. Usually repaired rather than replaced. May not meet insurance deductible.
Widespread shingle damage, significant flashing issues, multiple leak points, some structural concerns. Often partial replacement or extensive repair. Usually meets insurance deductible.
Extensive hail damage across entire roof, major wind damage, tree impact, or structural compromise. Typically requires complete roof replacement. Almost always covered by insurance minus deductible.
Tornado damage, large tree through roof, major structural collapse, or extensive interior water damage. Requires full replacement plus structural repairs. Fully covered by insurance (minus deductible).
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden storm damage including complete roof replacement if needed, emergency tarping, structural repairs, interior water damage restoration, code upgrade requirements, and debris removal. You pay only your deductible (typically $500-$2,500).
Example: $18,000 storm damage repair with $1,500 deductible = You pay $1,500, insurance pays $16,500
