This is the La Vernia 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 quoteRoofs here tend to go longer between inspections, so damage from two or three storms ago is often still sitting there when someone finally looks. This is the edge of the hail belt: storms are less frequent than up the I-35 corridor, but the ones that arrive are the same size. Boom-era roofs look fine from the street and fail inspections anyway; granule loss and cracked pipe boots are the usual findings.
What it costs in La Vernia: 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.
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.
