Carrollton Hail Damage: How to Check, Document and Repair Your Roof

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 118 hail reports within 10 miles of Carrollton from 2015 through 2024. Of those, 27 were 1.75 inches or larger, the size that commonly cracks asphalt shingles. The largest stone measured 3 inches, on June 6, 2018.

What stands out is how often it happens. Large hail was reported in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2023 and 2024, which is 6 of the 10 years. Carrollton spans Collin County, Denton County and Dallas County, and none of them are in the area served by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, so claims go through your regular homeowners policy.

Frequent storms also create a timing problem. If one storm damages the roof and another hits before it is fixed, it becomes harder to show which damage came from which event. Getting an inspection and dated photos after each large storm keeps the record clear and the house dry.

Light, scattered damage can often be repaired. When hits cover most slopes, or the roof was already worn, replacement usually makes more sense, and many owners in Carrollton choose Class 4 impact-rated shingles tested under UL 2218 when they do.
