How often hail hits around Sachse
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 122 hail reports within 10 miles of Sachse from 2015 through 2024. That is the most direct picture of local risk: 42 of those reports were 1.75 inches or larger, and hail showed up in 7 of the 10 years. The largest stone in the record measured 5.25 inches, on April 11, 2016, the kind of storm that damages roofs, cars and windows across whole neighborhoods.
Most storms are smaller than that. Even so, stones of 1.75 inches can crack the mat of a standard asphalt shingle, and the damage may not leak for months. If your roof has never been checked after a storm, it is worth doing before the next spring season. Our post on why roof damage may not cause an immediate leak explains the delay.
Signs of hail damage you can check from the ground
Round dents on gutters, downspouts and window frames.
Dented or chipped AC unit fins.
Heavy granule buildup at downspout outlets.
Dark spots on shingles where granules were knocked off.
Torn window screens and dented mailboxes.
Cracked or missing ridge caps.
Cracked skylight domes or bent flashing around the chimney.
Paint chipped off fence boards and siding on the storm side.

Book an inspection

Review your policy
Know your deductible and reporting deadline before you file.
Decide and file
If the damage is significant, contact your insurance company and share the documentation.
Insurance: what to expect
Coverage varies
Whether damage is covered depends on your policy and on your insurance company's decision. No roofer can promise approval.
Deductibles matter
Many Texas policies use a percentage deductible for wind and hail. Read how a roof insurance deductible works.
Documentation helps
GemSco inspects, documents the damage with photos and gives a written estimate you can share.
Denials can be reviewed
If a claim is denied or underpaid, see what to do if your roof insurance claim is denied.
Repairs that last
Limited hail damage can sometimes be repaired by replacing the hit shingles and dented vents. Widespread damage usually calls for a new roof, and in an area with Sachse's record, impact-rated shingles are worth discussing. GemSco is family owned, licensed and insured, with 20+ years of experience. See our hail damage roof repair service, our roof insurance claims page, or our Sachse page for a free estimate.
A word on timing: after a large storm, many crews arrive in town at once. Take the time to check licenses and insurance and to compare written estimates. Our guide on how to compare roofing estimates after storm damage shows what to line up side by side, so you can choose on scope and materials, not on who knocked first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can hail damage a roof without any visible holes?
Yes. Most hail damage on shingles is a bruise or a crack in the mat with granules knocked off, not a hole. It can look minor from the ground and still let water in months later. A close inspection with photos is the reliable way to know.
How long do I have to report hail damage?
It depends on your policy. Many policies set a time limit for reporting storm damage, so check yours soon after the storm. Early documentation also makes it easier to connect the damage to a specific date.
Should I repair hail damage if I am not filing a claim?
Yes, if the shingles are cracked or the mat is exposed. Damaged areas age faster and can leak later, and water damage inside costs more to fix than the roof itself. An inspection shows which spots need work now.
Do dented gutters mean my roof was damaged too?
Not always, but they are a strong hint that hail hit the house. Shingles, vents and flashing should be checked too. The dents also help an adjuster confirm the size and direction of the storm.
