The Cypress hail record, 2015 through 2024

31 reports

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 31 hail reports within 10 miles of central Cypress over those ten years.

7 large-hail reports

7 of them were 1.75 inches or larger, roughly golf ball size and bigger.

2.75 inches at the top

The largest stone was 2.75 inches, reported on April 19, 2015.

Three years with big hail

Hail of 1.75 inches or more was reported in 2015, 2019 and 2023.

What those numbers mean for your roof

Hail of 1.75 inches and up is the range where asphalt shingles can crack, lose granules in round patches and bruise the mat underneath. Most of that damage does not leak right away. It weakens the shingle, and water gets in months later.

Cypress roofs are not old by Texas standards. Half of the homes in ZIP 77429 were built before 2003, and half in ZIP 77433 before 2011 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). That works in two directions. A younger roof can take more hits, but owners also tend to assume it is fine and skip the check. Hail rarely hits only the roof. Fences, siding, window screens and cars on the driveway take hits in the same storm, and those marks help date the damage later. Learn how to identify hail damage on asphalt shingles.

The first days after a hailstorm

1

Photograph from the ground

Shoot dented gutters, downspouts, AC fins and patio furniture with the date. Our list of photos to take after storm damage helps.

2

Cover active leaks

If water is coming in, call for emergency roof repair before anything else.

3

Get the roof inspected

A roofer checks each slope, the vents and the flashing, and documents each hit with photos.

4

Read your policy

Look at the deductible and whether the roof is covered at actual cash value or replacement cost.

5

Decide on a claim with the facts

The inspection report tells you if the damage is worth a claim before you file.

How insurance fits in

Coverage depends on your policy and on what your insurance company decides after its own adjuster looks at the roof. Nobody can promise approval. What GemSco does is inspect, document the damage with photos and give you a written estimate you can share with your insurer. Our guide on roof insurance claims and the article on how a roof insurance deductible works walk through the rest.

When the roof is replaced after hail, ask about shingles rated UL 2218 Class 4 for impact resistance. They resist impact better in testing, though no shingle is hail-proof. See our storm and hail damage service for how repairs are handled.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if hail was big enough to damage my roof?

Look at softer metal first. Dents in gutters, downspouts, vent caps and AC fins mean the stones had some force. Hail of 1.75 inches or larger can crack shingles. Smaller hail may still knock off granules on an aging roof. A roof inspection with photos is the only way to know for sure.

Is there a deadline to report hail damage?

Most policies set a time limit for reporting storm damage, and it varies by insurer. Check your policy or call your agent soon after the storm. Waiting also makes it harder to show which storm caused the damage, especially in a year with more than one hail event.

Should I file a claim if the damage looks small?

Compare the repair estimate with your deductible first. If the cost is close to or below the deductible, a claim may not help. If the inspection shows damage across several slopes, it may be worth filing. The decision is yours, and the written estimate makes it easier.
