Potential roofing concerns
- Granule loss on three-tab and architectural shingles
- Bruising visible only on close inspection — common cause of denied claims when not documented
- Tile breakage on hill-country style roofs
- Damaged solar array glass and mounting hardware
Inspection recommendations
- 01Most carriers in Texas enforce a one-year claim window for hail — document early
- 02Match shingle batches now if a partial replacement is being considered
- 03Inspect every slope; hail damage is often directional and isolated
- 04Ask for an Xactimate-ready scope, not a verbal quote
