Hail as small as a coin can crack shingles and compromise your roof. DFW sits in one of the most hail-active corridors in the country, and Monumental Construction & Restoration has repaired hail-damaged roofs and properties throughout the area for over 25 years, seeing firsthand how differently hail damage can present from one property to the next.
What Hail Actually Damages
- Roofing: Cracked or bruised shingles, granule loss, and compromised waterproofing that leads to leaks.
- Siding & exterior finishes: Dents, cracks, and stripped paint or coating.
- Windows & vehicles: Cracked glass and body dents.
- Landscaping: Damaged plants and shrubs.
Why a Ground-Level Look Isn’t Enough
Hail damage to a roof usually isn’t visible from the ground. Skipping a professional inspection after a storm risks unnoticed leaks and mold — and since most policies require damage to be tied to a specific storm date, the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to get a legitimate claim approved. Checking metal surfaces like gutters, vents, and AC units for dents is often the easiest way to confirm a hailstorm was severe enough to warrant a full roof inspection, since these surfaces show impact more clearly than shingles do.

Working With Your Insurance
Hail damage claims are one of the most common types of roofing insurance claims in North Texas, and also one of the most disputed — adjusters don’t always catch every affected area on a first pass. Having your own contractor’s documentation alongside the adjuster’s report gives you a stronger basis for a full, fair settlement.
Hail Size and Roof Impact
Not all hail events cause the same level of damage. Pea- to marble-sized hail may only cause minor cosmetic wear, while quarter-sized hail and larger is far more likely to crack shingles and compromise the roof’s waterproofing. Knowing the reported hail size for a given storm in your area can help you gauge whether an inspection is worth prioritizing right away.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if hail actually damaged my roof?
You often can’t tell from the ground. Check for dents on gutters, vents, and AC units first — if those show impact, it’s worth having your roof professionally inspected.
Does hail damage always require a full roof replacement?
Not always. Some hail damage can be repaired in specific sections, while more widespread damage across the roof surface may warrant full replacement. Our free assessment tells you which situation you’re in.
