Storm Damage

Hail & Storm Damage Repairin Fort Worth, TX

Blue Lake started in 1995, the year the Mayfest storm hit Fort Worth with hail up to 4.5 inches. We have been inspecting hail damage here ever since, and we will tell you honestly whether yours is worth a claim.

After the Storm What Hail Does to Fort Worth Roofs

Damage is often invisible from the ground. This is what we look for on the roof.

Bruised shingles

Hail can crack the fiberglass mat under the granules with no visible hole. It shows up as soft spots you can feel on the roof.

Granule loss in spots

Fresh dark circles where granules were knocked off. Over time, the sun breaks down the exposed asphalt.

Dented vents and flashing

Soft metal on vents, turbines and gutters shows hail size clearly, and adjusters look at it first.

Lifted or missing tabs

Wind gusts during Fort Worth thunderstorms break shingle seals, then the next storm pulls them off.

Tree damage

Older neighborhoods like Fairmount and Arlington Heights have big trees, and storm limbs puncture roofs and crush gutters.

Hidden leaks

Water that gets past damaged shingles can soak decking and insulation for weeks before a ceiling stain shows up.

Insurance Claims Claim or No Claim?

We inspect before you call your insurer, so you know where you stand.

Likely worth a claim

  • Hail damage spread across most slopes of the roof.
  • Dented vents, gutters and other soft metal confirm hail size.
  • Repair cost would clearly exceed your deductible.
  • The storm date is recent and documented.

Probably not

  • Only a few damaged shingles in one area.
  • Damage is wear and age, not storm.
  • The repair costs less than your deductible.
  • In that case we quote a straight repair instead.
Insurance tip for Fort Worth homeowners: most policies set a deadline for reporting storm damage, and many Texas policies now carry a percentage deductible for wind and hail. Check both before you file. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles may qualify for a premium discount in Texas, so ask your insurer when you replace.

Hail & Storm Damage Repair in Fort Worth Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Fort Worth roof has hail damage?

Look for dents on vents, gutters, mailboxes or cars after the storm. Those are signs the hail was big enough to damage shingles. The roof itself needs a hands-on inspection, which we do free.

Should I call my insurance company first or a roofer?

Getting an inspection first helps. If there is no real damage, you avoid an unnecessary claim on your record. If there is, you go into the claim with photos.

Will you meet my adjuster?

Yes, if you would like us to. We walk the roof with the adjuster and show them what we documented.

Can you tarp my roof after a storm?

Yes. Our shop is in Forest Hill, inside the Fort Worth area, so we can usually get a tarp on quickly to stop further water damage.

What if the adjuster misses damage?

If we find damage that was not included, we document it and you can request a re-inspection or a supplement through your insurer.
