What Hail Does to a Roof
On September 16, 2009, two supercell thunderstorms formed over El Paso County, Texas, and dropped golf ball-sized hail on El Paso's east side along Interstate 10. Damage was estimated at over $150 million, which the National Weather Service calls the costliest hail storm in El Paso's history. Ice that size can crack shingle mats, strip granules, dent metal and fracture tile.
Severe hail here peaks in May and June, with a second bump in October, according to the NWS. El Paso's record gust is 84 mph, set on March 10, 1977 and matched on March 26, 2010, and strong non-storm winds peak in March and April. Monsoon season, June 15 to September 30, then tests flat-roof drains and scuppers.
Jobs That Fall Under Storm and Hail Damage
- Hail-bruised roofing. Cracked shingle mats, dented metal and chipped tile.
- Wind-lifted edges. Tabs bent back or torn off and loose ridge caps.
- Flat-roof storm wear. Split membrane and blocked scuppers that leave water standing after a cloudburst.
- Short-term protection. A tarp or temporary seal keeps rain out until permanent work is scheduled.
- Full replacement when needed. If damage runs across most slopes, a new roof may beat patching.
- Dented soft metal. Fresh dings in gutters or vents often mean the roof took hits too.
- New ceiling stains. A damp patch that wasn't there before the weather turned.

What Happens on the Day
- Stay off the roof. Take photos from the yard and note the storm date while it's fresh.
- Inspection. The roofer photographs damage slope by slope and measures the roof.
- Written estimate. You receive an itemized scope to compare with your policy.
- Permit and work. Inside El Paso city limits, a building permit is required unless less than 25% of a house's roof covering is being replaced. The roofer pulls it, and the City inspects the finished job.
Reasons to Ask Here First
This is a referral service only: no roofing work, no bids from us and no contracts with us. One independent roofer receives your request, and that roofer, not you, may pay a referral fee. Before hiring, ask whether the roofer is registered with the City (inside El Paso), see proof of liability insurance, and get the contract and both warranties in writing.
The Claim Process in Plain English
The insurance claim belongs to you and your insurer. A roofer can record the damage and give you a written estimate to share if you choose. Texas law bars a contractor that is doing, or may do, the work from serving as your public adjuster or advertising to adjust claims. This site does not handle claims either.
Texas also requires you to pay your own deductible. A roofer may not offer to waive, rebate or absorb it, and any insurance-paid roofing contract of $1,000 or more must carry a printed notice saying so. Report any deductible deal to the Texas Attorney General. If you sign for $25 or more at your own front door, you generally have until midnight of the third business day after signing to cancel. See the Texas roofing rules for more.
Questions Homeowners Ask
How soon after a hailstorm should my roof be looked at?
Sooner is better, because small cracks let water in during the next storm and the date is easier to pin down. Many policies set time limits for reporting damage, so read yours. If a leak has started, ask about a temporary cover while you decide.
Can hail damage a roof without causing a leak?
Yes. Hail often breaks the mat under a shingle or strips its granules without opening a hole. The bare spots then age quickly in El Paso's sun and may leak months later, so an inspection can be worth it even when ceilings look dry.
Does wind damage look different from hail damage?
Usually. Wind lifts or tears whole tabs and peels back edges, often on the side facing the gust. Hail leaves scattered round impact marks, dented vents and granule loss. Many storms bring both, so the photos should note each kind separately.
Will the roofer deal with my insurance company for me?
No. Under Texas law, a contractor doing the job can't act as your public adjuster. The roofer's part ends at documenting the damage and writing an estimate, and the claim stays between you and your insurer. Any outside help with it is your own separate choice.
