FAQs
What is hail bruising on a roof and why is it a concern in Jacksboro?
Hail bruising occurs when hailstones strike asphalt shingles hard enough to crush or displace the protective granules and leave a soft spot in the underlying mat. In Jacksboro, where spring and summer hailstorms are common, these bruises can shorten the life of the shingle, lead to premature leaks, and void manufacturer warranties if not addressed quickly.
How can I tell if my roof has hail bruises after a storm?
From the ground, hail bruising is hard to see. Warning signs include loose granules collecting in gutters, discolored shingle spots, or small circular marks on siding and downspouts. A professional roof inspector will climb the roof, feel for soft spots with slight give, document missing granules, and check surrounding components like vents and flashing for impact damage.
Why should I schedule a professional hail‐damage inspection instead of doing it myself?
Walking a storm-hit roof can be dangerous and hail bruises are subtle. Certified inspectors use safety gear, know how to detect soft bruised areas without tearing the shingle, photograph damage for insurance, and create a detailed report that supports a claim. In Jacksboro, many insurance carriers require a licensed or credentialed inspection report before approving repairs.
What happens during a hail bruising roof inspection in Jacksboro?
1. Our technician meets you on-site to discuss the storm date and any leaks. 2. We perform a perimeter walk-around to photograph collateral impacts on gutters, siding, and HVAC fins. 3. Using a harness, we inspect every roof facet, marking and measuring bruises, cracked shingles, and dented vents. 4. Moisture readings and attic checks confirm hidden water intrusion. 5. We provide a written report, photos, repair estimate, and guidance on filing an insurance claim if damage meets insurer thresholds.
How much does a hail damage roof inspection cost?
For homeowners in the greater Jacksboro area, our standard hail inspection is free if scheduled within 12 months of a documented storm event. Outside that window, or for real-estate transactions, we charge a flat $149, which is credited toward any repair or replacement work we perform based on our findings.
Will my insurance cover repairs or replacement for hail-bruised shingles?
Most homeowner policies in Texas include hail and wind coverage, but approval depends on the extent of bruising, roof age, and deductible. After our inspection, we’ll help you file a claim with annotated photos and slope diagrams. Adjusters typically look for a specific number of bruises per 100 sq ft section; if the threshold is met, insurers usually authorize a full or partial roof replacement minus your deductible.
