How to File a Roof Insurance Claim for Texas Hail Damage

Step 1: Get a Professional Photographic Roof Inspection

Hail damage is subtle and often invisible from the ground. Large hail fractures the inner fiberglass mat of asphalt shingles, dislodging protective granules and leaving soft bruises that lead to leaks months later.

Before calling your insurance company, have Sentry Pro Roofing conduct a free 21-point photographic inspection to verify legitimate hail impacts on your roof slopes, gutters, vents, and siding.

Step 2: File Your Claim & Request an Adjuster Walkthrough

Call your insurance company's claims hotline to open a claim. State the date of the hail storm and request an on-site adjuster inspection.

Notify Sentry Pro Roofing of your adjuster appointment date. We will send our senior roofer to meet your adjuster directly on your roof.

Step 3: On-Site Adjuster Representation & Xactimate Scoping

Having your roofer on-site during the insurance adjuster inspection ensures all damaged slopes, ridge caps, valley flashings, and collateral property damage are documented.

We compare findings with the adjuster and provide Xactimate line-item estimates matching current Houston labor and material costs.
