Yes. Lubbock experiences frequent severe thunderstorms that can produce damaging hail, especially during the spring and early summer months. Even hail smaller than golf balls can bruise shingles, damage protective granules, dent metal components, and shorten the lifespan of your roof. Because hail damage is not always visible from the ground, a professional inspection is recommended after significant storms.

We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year and after any significant hail or wind event. The combination of severe weather, high winds, and intense West Texas sun can accelerate roof deterioration, making routine inspections one of the best ways to identify problems before they become costly repairs.

Absolutely. High winds can lift shingles, break seal strips, crease roofing materials, damage flashing, and loosen ridge caps. Wind can also carry debris that damages roofs, gutters, windows, and other exterior components. Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, hidden wind damage may still be present after a severe storm.

Yes. Many hail and wind-damaged roofs do not leak immediately. Storm damage often affects the protective components of the roofing system first, which can reduce the roof's lifespan long before water enters the home. A professional inspection can identify storm-related damage early and help you understand whether repairs or replacement may be necessary.We have also seen an increasing number of insurance companies deny coverage for interior water damage and deteriorated roof decking when they determine the damage resulted from prolonged water intrusion rather than the original storm. In some cases, carriers have taken the position that if the roof had been repaired or replaced soon after the storm, the interior damage or deteriorated decking may have been prevented.For that reason, we encourage homeowners to have their roof inspected after significant hail or wind events—even if there are no visible leaks. Identifying storm damage early can help prevent additional deterioration and provide a clearer understanding of your roof's condition before small issues become much larger repairs.

If you believe your home has been damaged by hail or high winds, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection before filing an insurance claim.
