Texas · Hail Alley

Did a storm hit your Austin roof?

Austin sits in the heart of North America's hail belt, where warm Gulf moisture collides with dry air off the Rockies to fire off supercells that drop some of the largest, most frequent hail on the continent. Enter your address and we'll scan the radar over your home in seconds — free.

Storm risk in Austin

What Austin roofs are up against

Hailstones here routinely reach quarter, golf-ball, and even baseball size — more than enough to bruise or fracture asphalt shingles even when the roof looks fine from the driveway.

Main hazards

  • large hail (1"–4"+)
  • damaging straight-line winds
  • tornadoes

Peak storm season

April through September, peaking in May and June.

The hidden risk

Most storm damage isn't visible from the ground — it shows up as leaks weeks later, after the claim window narrows.

Local hail history

Central Texas hail is getting more expensive

Austin's explosive growth has put far more roofs under a hail-prone sky — the corridor from San Antonio through Austin sees repeated spring supercells, and recent seasons have produced multiple damaging hail events across Travis and Williamson counties.

If a storm just rolled through Austin, here's what to do

  1. Check your address first. Scan the radar above before you call anyone — know whether your roof was actually in the storm's path.
  2. Don't sign with a door-knocker. After a storm, out-of-state crews flood Texas neighborhoods. Get an independent, vetted local opinion instead.
  3. Document before you file. A licensed local roofer inspects free and photographs real damage for your insurer — the right way to start a Texas claim.

⚠️ Watch out for the deductible scam

If anyone offers to "waive" or "eat" your insurance deductible, walk away — it's illegal in most states, including Texas, and a red flag for fraud. We only connect you with roofers who bill claims honestly.

Questions

Austin storm-damage FAQ

How do I know if a storm damaged my roof in Austin?+
Enter your Austin address above and Storm Roof Radar checks NOAA's radar-derived hail-size estimate (MESH) over your exact location, then tells you whether recent storms likely caused damage. Radar can miss localized pockets, so a free on-site inspection is the only way to be certain.
Is the roof check and inspection really free in Austin?+
Yes. Checking your address costs nothing, and the on-site inspection from our vetted local Texas roofing partner is free with no obligation.
Is storm and hail damage covered by homeowners insurance in Texas?+
Sudden storm, hail, and wind damage is typically covered under a standard Texas homeowners policy. A documented inspection helps you file a clean claim — though we can't guarantee any specific outcome, which is between you and your insurer.
Who actually inspects my roof?+
A licensed, vetted local roofer serving Austin — never an out-of-state door-knocking "storm chaser." One trusted local pro, matched to your address, and we never resell your information.
