How do I know if my Katy roof has hail damage?

Signs of hail damage include dented or bruised shingles, circular cracks, missing granules (dark spots), dented gutters or downspouts, and cracked siding. However, many hail impacts are only visible up close. We recommend a professional inspection after any hailstorm in Katy.

Should I file an insurance claim for hail damage?

If you have verifiable hail damage, yes. Most Katy homeowner policies cover hail damage. MTE Roofing documents all damage thoroughly and handles the claims process — most homeowners pay only their deductible for a complete restoration.

How soon after a hailstorm should I get my roof inspected?

We recommend getting your roof inspected within 1-2 weeks of a hailstorm. Most insurance policies require timely reporting of damage, and hail-damaged shingles will deteriorate faster when exposed to sun and rain.

Can hail damage be repaired or does the whole roof need replacement?

It depends on the extent. If less than 30% of the roof shows hail impact, targeted repairs may be sufficient. If hail damage is widespread across the entire roof surface, insurance typically approves a full replacement to ensure uniform protection.

What size hail can damage a roof?

Hail as small as 1 inch (quarter-sized) can damage standard asphalt shingles. Hail 1.5 inches and larger almost always causes significant roof damage. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are tested to withstand 2-inch hail impacts.

How much does hail damage roof repair cost in Katy?

The cost varies based on damage extent. Minor hail damage repairs range from $500-$2,500. If insurance covers the damage (which it typically does for hail), you'll only pay your deductible — usually $1,000-$2,500 for Katy homes.

Hail Damage Roof Repair in Katy, TX

Katy, Texas sits in one of the most hail-prone regions in the country. Every spring and early summer, powerful supercell thunderstorms roll through Fort Bend County bringing damaging hail that can range from pea-sized to softball-sized. If you've experienced a hailstorm, your roof likely sustained damage — even if you can't see it from the ground.

MTE Roofing is Katy's leading hail damage roof repair specialist. As your trusted Katy roofer, we've helped hundreds of Katy homeowners restore their roofs after hailstorms — from Cinco Ranch to Grand Lakes, Firethorne to Old Katy.

How Hail Damages Your Katy Roof

Hail impacts your roof in several ways, some visible and some hidden:

Granule Displacement

Hail knocks protective granules off shingles, exposing the asphalt layer to UV degradation. This accelerates aging and leads to premature failure.

Shingle Bruising

Even without visible cracks, hail can bruise the shingle mat beneath the surface, creating weak spots that fail over time.

Cracking & Fracturing

Larger hail can crack shingles outright, creating immediate pathways for water intrusion that will cause leaks during the next rain.

Seal Strip Damage

Hail impacts can break the adhesive seal strips that bond shingles together, making them vulnerable to wind lift during future storms.

Signs of Hail Damage on Your Katy Roof

Dents or dimples on shingles (may require close-up inspection)
Dark spots where granules have been knocked off
Cracked or broken shingles
Dented or damaged gutters and downspouts
