Signs of hail you can spot without a ladder
Dented soft metals
Gutters, downspouts, mailbox tops and AC fins show dents that point to the size of the stones.
Granules at the downspouts
A pile of dark grit after a storm means shingles lost their protective layer.
Damaged window screens
Torn or dented screens on the side the storm came from are a common clue.
Debris on the driveway
Pieces of shingle or broken vent caps mean something up top was hit hard.
How often hail hits around Trophy Club
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 196 hail reports within 10 miles of Trophy Club from 2015 through 2024. Of those, 56 were 1.75 inches or larger. Large hail showed up in 5 of those 10 years: 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023 and 2024.
The largest report was 4.25 inches, on June 11, 2023. Stones like that can break shingles outright and crack skylights. Smaller hail still knocks off granules and bruises the shingle mat. That kind of damage weakens the roof over time and can lead to leaks a season or two later. Our guide on how to identify hail damage on asphalt shingles shows what bruises look like up close.
Trophy Club sits across Tarrant and Denton counties, so storm reports and local news may list it under either one. What matters for your home is what the roof itself shows, slope by slope, in photos taken soon after the storm.
A storm checklist for Trophy Club homeowners
Write down the date
Note when the storm hit and keep any photos of hail on the ground.
Photograph the outside
Gutters, siding, fences, cars and windows, with the date visible if possible.
Stop active leaks
If water is getting in, start with emergency roof repair to limit interior damage.
Schedule an inspection
A roofer documents every slope with photos and gives you a written estimate.
Then talk to your insurer
With photos and an estimate in hand, you know what you are reporting.
Insurance: what a roofer can and cannot do
Whether a hail claim is paid, and how much, depends on your policy and on your insurance company. Deductibles for wind and hail can be a percentage of the home's insured value, and some policies pay actual cash value instead of replacement cost. Our article on how a roof insurance deductible works explains the difference.
GemSco inspects the roof, documents the damage with photos and gives you a written estimate. We do not promise approval, and nobody honest can. If a claim is denied or seems low, our roof insurance claims page explains your options.
Repair or replace after hail
A few broken shingles in one area can often be repaired.
Check the soft metal first: if vents and flashing are dented on several sides of the house, the storm likely reached every slope.
Bruises spread across many slopes usually point to replacement.
Shingles tested to UL 2218 Class 4 are worth considering if you replace.
Soft or stained decking found in the attic means water has already been getting in, which also points toward replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell hail damage from normal wear?
Hail leaves random hits: round bruises or cracks with granules knocked off, often with matching dents on vents and gutters. Normal wear is more even, like overall granule loss or curling on the sunniest slopes. A close inspection with photos is the reliable way to tell them apart.
Is there a deadline to report hail damage?
Many policies set time limits for reporting a loss, and they vary by insurer. Check your policy or ask your agent soon after the storm. Waiting can also let small damage grow into leaks, which makes it harder to show what the storm caused.
Should I let a storm chaser inspect my roof?
Be careful with anyone who shows up uninvited right after a storm. Check their license, insurance and local track record, and do not sign anything on the spot. Our guide on questions to ask before hiring a roofing contractor lists what to check first.
Can hail damage a roof without any leak?
Yes, and it often does. Bruised shingles lose granules and the mat underneath can crack, but water may not get through until later storms work on the weak spots. That is why an inspection after a big storm is worth it even when the ceilings look fine.
