Ten years of hail near Corinth
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 178 hail reports within 10 miles of Corinth from 2015 through 2024. Of those, 57 were 1.75 inches or larger, about the size where shingle damage becomes likely. The biggest stone was 4.25 inches, recorded on March 26, 2017.
Large hail was not limited to one bad year. It appeared in 7 of the 10 years: 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024. The 2017 record also shows that serious hail can arrive in March, before many owners think of storm season. Corinth sits in Denton County, in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, a region where spring storms build quickly. For owners here, a post-storm roof check is routine maintenance, not an overreaction.
Signs hail reached your roof
Dents on roof vents, gutters and downspouts.
Dark, round spots on shingles where granules are gone.
Granules piled at downspout outlets after the storm.
Cracked or chipped tiles, or split wood shakes.
Dented outdoor units, mailboxes or car hoods nearby.
What to do, in order
Keep people safe
Stay off the roof and away from downed lines or broken glass.
Document the storm
Take dated photos of hailstones, dents and any interior water. Our list of photos to take after roof storm damage helps.
Stop active leaks
Use buckets and a temporary cover so water damage does not grow.
Book an inspection
Get every slope checked and photographed by a roofer before deciding on a claim.
Review your policy
Check your deductible and whether you have replacement cost or actual cash value. Coverage depends on your policy and your insurer.
Choose a contractor carefully
Read questions to ask before hiring a roofing contractor before signing.
Repair or replacement after hail
Spot repair
Works when a few shingles are hit and the rest of the roof is sound.
Slope replacement
Possible when damage is limited to one face, though matching colors can be hard.
Full replacement
Usually needed when impacts are spread across most slopes or the shingles are already brittle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my neighbor get a new roof but mine looks fine?
Hail falls unevenly. One street can take larger stones than the next, and roofs of different ages and materials react differently. A roof that looks fine from the ground can still have bruises up close. An inspection of your own roof is the only fair comparison.
Should I file a claim for every hailstorm?
Not always. If damage is minor and below your deductible, a claim may not make sense. Get an inspection first, look at the photos and the estimate, then decide. Our article on how a roof insurance deductible works explains the math.
Can old hail damage be claimed later?
Policies set deadlines for reporting, and older damage is harder to tie to one storm. That is why inspecting after each large storm matters. Check your policy or ask your agent about time limits that apply to you.
