That dark, pockmarked look is exposed asphalt. The granules that protect against UV and weather have been knocked off by hail impact. The clock starts now.
Water finds the path of least resistance. Every impact mark is a future entry point for moisture — which leads to deck rot, mold, and interior damage that isn't covered.
Insurance policies require timely reporting. The longer you wait, the harder it is to prove damage was storm-related vs. wear and tear. Finding out now costs you nothing.
Hail is classified as an "act of God" — a weather event completely outside your control. Your insurer cannot penalize you for filing. You paid for this coverage.
A new roof is one of the best-returning home improvements you can make. If you're ever planning to sell, this matters. Even if you're not — it's your biggest asset.
Many insurance carriers offer a 10–30% annual discount for Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. A new roof can literally pay you back every year going forward.
Ben has been through this process hundreds of times. He'll walk you through exactly what was found and what your options are, start to finish.
Ben started StormBusters because he was tired of seeing homeowners get taken advantage of after storms — by out-of-state contractors who show up, collect deposits, and disappear.
He's a local Texas guy with a family and a reputation to protect. Every inspection he does personally. Every roof he puts on, he stands behind.
When Ben comes to your house, you're not getting a salesperson. You're getting an honest answer about what's actually on your roof.
