Hail Damage Roof Inspection in Rowlett, TX: 10+ Hits in One Test Square

10+ hail hits in one 10×10 square. This Rowlett roof told us everything. 🔍

Our crew walked this Rowlett roof slope by slope, chalk-circling every hail hit and marking a 10×10 test square that came in at 10+ hits. We also checked the turbine vent, pipe jack flashing, the wood trim and flashing where the roof meets the wall, and the gutters.

Roof Overview

Every inspection starts with a look at the whole slope before we get down to individual shingles.

Hail Hits & Test Square

Inside a 10×10 test square we count every hit. This one marked W=0 (no wind damage) and H=10+ hail hits, and we found shingles with exposed nail heads too.

Vents & Pipe Jacks

Soft metal shows hail first. We chalked the dents on the turbine vent, checked the pipe jack flashing, and tallied 5 pipe jacks and 2 exhaust vents for the report.

Trim & Flashing

Where the roof meets the wall, the wood trim is weathered and the flashing has a gap. That is a common spot for water to get in behind the wall.

Gutters

Gutters get checked too, since dents there help confirm hail size and direction.
