The local hail record

Of those, 4 measured 1.75 inches or more, roughly golf-ball size.
Largest stone
The biggest was 1.75 inches, reported on April 16, 2015.
Storm years
Hail fell in 3 of the 10 years: 2015, 2017 and 2024.
What those numbers mean for your roof
A quiet hail record can work against you. Owners who have not seen a storm in years tend to skip the inspection after one finally comes. The 2024 reports are recent, and if your roof was in their path, any bruises or cracks from that storm may still be there.
Age makes it worse. Half of the homes in Rosenberg were built before 1997 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Older shingles are more brittle and crack more easily when hit. On a roof near the end of its life, even mid-size hail can be the push that turns a repair into a replacement.
There is also a timing issue with claims. Many policies set a window for reporting storm damage, and the longer you wait, the harder it is to tie a cracked shingle to a specific storm date. Owners who check after each storm, even a mild one, keep that link clear. A short inspection with dated photos is often all it takes to know whether there is anything worth reporting at all.
Clues you can check from the ground
Fresh dents in gutters, downspouts and the metal vents on the roof.
Holes or tears in window screens on the storm side of the house.
Dings on cars, mailboxes or patio furniture left outside.
Granules piling up at the bottom of downspouts.
Shingle pieces in the yard or on the driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can hail damage a roof without causing a leak?
Yes. Hail often bruises the shingle mat or knocks off granules without opening a hole. The roof keeps working for a while, then starts to fail months later as the cracks grow. That is why an inspection after a big storm is worth doing even when the ceiling is dry.
What should I watch for when storm chasers knock on my door?
Be careful with anyone who asks you to sign on the spot, wants large payment up front or says the new roof will cost you nothing. Check license, insurance and a local track record. Our article before signing a roofing contract after a storm lists the red flags.
Why was my hail claim rejected?
Common reasons include damage judged as wear and tear, a late report, or damage below the deductible. Ask for the reason in writing and compare it with your own photos and inspection. See common reasons roof insurance claims are rejected for more.
