Hail Damage in Texas?
Texas leads the country in hail and it is not close. The Insurance Information Institute counted 902 major hail events here in 2025, against 375 in Illinois in second place. Volume is not what loses a claim. Hail claims are denied on three predictable grounds, and every one of them is answerable with evidence gathered before an insurance adjuster ever climbs the roof.

Insurance companies have a team working to minimize what they pay you. You deserve the same expertise on your side.
Five Star's public adjusters document a hail loss the way it has to be argued: impact by impact, slope by slope, with the policy language that decides what is owed read before anything is filed. Serving homeowners across Texas.
Four things decide a Texas hail claim, and whether your roof was hit is not one of them. That part is rarely in dispute. What is owed afterwards turns on the policy, the deductible and the quality of the documentation.
Insurers classify hail bruising on metal and tile as cosmetic, arguing the roof still sheds water so nothing is owed. Whether that holds depends on your policy wording and on the granule loss, mat fractures and seam separation underneath. We document all three before anyone calls it cosmetic.
Most Texas policies set the wind and hail deductible as a percentage of the dwelling limit rather than a flat sum. On a 400,000 dollar home, two percent is 8,000 dollars absorbed before the carrier pays anything, which is how an underscoped estimate turns a real loss into no recovery at all.
Since 1 July 2026 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac no longer require replacement cost roof coverage on the mortgages they back, so more Texas roofs will settle at actual cash value with depreciation taken off. Knowing which basis your policy uses before you file changes what you should be asking for.
The 2026 spring season put repeat hail on the same neighbourhoods within weeks, and shingles weakened by the first storm fail more easily in the second. Carriers will attribute the damage to whichever event is out of time to claim. Sequence matters, so we establish it.
