After the Hail: Storm Damage Roof Repair in Benbrook

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 81 hail reports within 10 miles of Benbrook from 2015 through 2024. Of those, 16 were 1.75 inches or larger, the size that often breaks through a standard shingle. The largest was 3 inches, reported on October 10, 2019.

Large hail was recorded in 4 of those 10 years: 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2023. That pattern matters. A roof can take a hit in one storm and get worse in the next, and a home that changed hands in between may carry damage the new owner never saw.

Benbrook is in Tarrant County, outside the area covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, so storm claims here go through your regular homeowners policy. Every policy is different. Before storm season starts, check your deductible, any separate wind and hail deductible, and whether your roof is covered at replacement cost or actual cash value. Our article on how a roof insurance deductible works explains the terms.

GemSco inspects, documents the damage with photos and gives you a written estimate. We repair or replace asphalt shingle, metal, stone-coated, tile and wood shake roofs, and we can help you understand the roof insurance claims process.

If the roof needs replacing, many owners in hail-prone areas look at Class 4 impact-rated shingles, tested under UL 2218. They resist cracking better than standard shingles, though no roof is hail-proof. We can walk you through the options in the estimate.
