This is the Morrow page for hail damage roof claim. The short version: you want to know if the hail actually damaged the roof and to get the claim approved if so, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteOlder homes have older electrical and plumbing penetrations through the roof; replacing the boots and flashings on all of them is cheap during a re-roof and expensive later. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable. Older metal roofs on rural properties are common, and the failure point is almost always the fastener gaskets, not the panels.
On cost: no cost to inspect; the roofer's incentive is a fully scoped claim, and yours is a new roof for the price of your deductible — both align when the damage is real.

Test squares: a 10x10 foot area on each slope is chalked and hail strikes are counted. Most carriers use a threshold (often 8+ per square) to approve a slope. Your roofer should do the same count before the adjuster arrives.
Texas policies typically allow filing within a year or two of the event, but the sooner the better — weathering makes old hail damage harder to distinguish from wear.
