Ten years of hail near Jersey Village
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 46 hail reports within 10 miles of Jersey Village from 2015 through 2024. Of those, 11 were 1.75 inches or larger, the size where shingles start to crack and break. Large hail came in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2023, so 4 of the 10 years brought storms that could damage a roof.
The biggest stone on record in that period measured 2.5 inches and fell on May 9, 2019. Hail that size can punch through shingles, crack skylights and dent metal roofing. Even smaller stones add up. A roof that took hits in 2019 and again in 2023 may be carrying damage from both storms, and it is not always possible to tell which storm caused which mark.
Homes are part of the picture too. Half of the houses in Jersey Village were built before 1991 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). An older roof with worn shingles cracks more easily than a new one, so the same storm can leave very different damage on two houses on the same street.
Right after the storm
Check for leaks in ceilings and the attic.
Photograph hail on the ground, with a coin or ruler for size.
Look for dents on gutters, downspouts, vents, the AC unit and cars.
Cover any open area with a tarp if it is safe, or call for emergency roof repair.
Write down the date and time of the storm.
Read our checklist of what to do after a hailstorm damages your roof.
Stay off the roof. Wet, damaged shingles are slick and can give way underfoot.
Signs of hail damage on the roof
Granule loss
Dark circles where the protective granules were knocked off, leaving the asphalt exposed to the sun.
Fractures
Cracks through the shingle that may not leak until heat and rain widen them.
Punctures
With stones over 2 inches, holes through the shingle are possible.
Dented metal
Flashing, vents, drip edge and metal roof panels show round dents.
Cracked accessories
Skylights, vent caps and plastic parts can split on impact.
Inspection, estimate and claim
Inspection
GemSco inspects the roof and documents every sign of damage with photos.
Written estimate
You receive a written estimate of what repair or replacement would involve.
Policy review
Read your policy for the deductible and the type of coverage. See how a roof insurance deductible works.
Your decision
With the photos and estimate, you decide whether to file. Coverage depends on the policy and on the insurer's review.
Choosing what comes next
Light damage on part of the roof is often a repair. Damage across most slopes usually means a new roof, and in an area with this hail record, impact-rated shingles tested to UL 2218 Class 4 are worth a look. See roof replacement in Jersey Village for that path. Our general page on hail damage roof repair has more on the process. GemSco is fully licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does damaging hail hit Jersey Village?
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center shows hail of 1.75 inches or larger within 10 miles of Jersey Village in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2023, which is 4 of the 10 years from 2015 through 2024. Reports are tied to where storms were seen, so damage on your street may differ.
What if my roof was hit by two different storms?
It happens in areas with frequent hail. An inspection documents all the damage present, and dated photos from each storm help. How an insurer treats older damage depends on the policy and its deadlines, so report storm damage as soon as you can after it happens.
Is hail damage always visible from the ground?
No. Bruises and small cracks are hard to see from below, especially on lighter shingles. Dents on gutters and vents are easier clues. If you see those, the roof should be checked up close. Our guide on what a roof inspection after hail includes explains the process.
