This is the Fischer 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 quoteAerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing. This is the heart of the I-35 hail corridor, where golf-ball hail arrives most springs and bruises roofs that were fine the year before.
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.
Your carrier has a set period to acknowledge, investigate, and pay a claim under the Texas Prompt Payment of Claims Act, and a contractor who documents damage well makes that clock work in your favor.
How it works
Under a replacement cost policy, no — the recoverable depreciation is only paid when the work is done. Under an ACV policy, you get the depreciated value and can do what you want, but it won't buy a new roof.
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.
Your carrier has a set period to acknowledge, investigate, and pay a claim under the Texas Prompt Payment of Claims Act, and a contractor who documents damage well makes that clock work in your favor. Fischer is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
