Get a written quoteHail season runs March through June with a fall echo, and the claim-filing window is measured from the storm date, so keep the date of every event that hit your street. Test-square counts before the adjuster arrives are what win reinspections — eight or more strikes per hundred square feet is the threshold most carriers use. Ventilation standards were looser then; adding ridge vent and clearing soffit intake during a replacement usually pays back in shingle life.
What it costs in Universal City: 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.
Texas hail claims typically follow a replacement-cost policy, but many carriers have moved to a roof surface payment schedule that depreciates by age — check your declarations page for 'RSPS' or 'ACV roof' language.

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.
