Storm and Hail Damage Repair for Alvin, TX Homes

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 15 hail reports within 10 miles of Alvin from 2015 through 2024. Four of them were 1.75 inches or larger, and all four came in 2024. The largest stone measured 2.75 inches on May 31, 2024. That means large hail hit near Alvin in 1 of the 10 years in the record, but when it came, it was big.

Roofs that went through the spring of 2024 may carry bruises that have not leaked yet. Hail cracks the mat under the granules, and water finds that crack over the next seasons. If your roof has not been looked at since then, it is worth a check. Our guide on how to identify hail damage on asphalt shingles shows what the marks look like.

Whether a claim is approved depends on your policy and your insurance company. No roofer can promise the outcome. What GemSco does is inspect the roof, document the damage with photos and give you a written estimate you can share with the adjuster. Our page on roof insurance claims explains how deductibles and depreciation work.

All of Brazoria County is inside the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association catastrophe area. If your home carries TWIA wind and hail coverage, roof work generally needs to be inspected and certified through the Texas Department of Insurance windstorm program, which issues a WPI-8 certificate. Ask your agent what your policy requires before the job starts.

Keep copies of everything: the inspection photos, the estimate, emails with the adjuster and any receipts for tarps or temporary repairs. If the first answer from the insurer does not match what the roof shows, our guide on what to do if a roof insurance claim is denied lists the next steps.

Scattered hits on one slope can often be repaired. Damage across several slopes usually points to roof replacement in Alvin. GemSco offers free estimates and has handled storm work for 20+ years. See our hail damage roof repair service or our page for Alvin.
