What to Do After a Hailstorm in Dallas–Fort Worth

Hailstorms are a fact of life in North Texas. When severe weather strikes Dallas-Fort Worth, knowing how to respond quickly can mean the difference between a smooth insurance claim and thousands in out-of-pocket costs. Here's your step-by-step guide to handling roof damage after a hailstorm.

Step 1: Stay Safe and Assess from the Ground

Never climb onto your roof immediately after a storm. Wet surfaces, loose shingles, and hidden damage create serious safety hazards. Instead, conduct a safe ground-level inspection:

• Check gutters and downspouts for dents or damage
• Look for dents on metal siding, vents, or air conditioning units
• Inspect for fallen shingles or debris in your yard
• Note any visible damage to windows or siding
• Take photos of any visible exterior damage

If you see dents on gutters, siding, or outdoor equipment, there's a strong chance your roof sustained damage too.

Step 2: Call Ultra Roofing for a Free Inspection
