This is the Sun City 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 quoteThose roofs are hitting 15 to 20 years now, and insurers are asking about them at every renewal. Most homes here went up in the 2000s building boom, when production builders installed the least expensive shingle that met code. Roof surface payment schedules and ACV roof endorsements are showing up on renewals across Central Texas; read the declarations page before assuming a claim will fund a new roof.
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.
Roofers cannot legally pay or waive your deductible in Texas — a 'free roof' pitch is a fraud red flag, not a deal.
How it works
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.
