Hail Damage · Greater Houston
Hail damage is easy to miss from the ground and expensive to ignore. Free inspection, documented findings, and we work directly with your insurance.
Hail Damage
Gulf Coast hail rarely punches holes in a roof. It bruises it. A hailstone strike knocks the protective granules off the shingle and fractures the mat underneath, and that spot then weathers years faster than the rest of the roof. From the driveway everything looks fine — which is exactly why so much hail damage goes unclaimed until the roof starts leaking long after the storm.
That matters in Greater Houston because we get hail on top of wind, and insurers treat sudden storm damage very differently from age and wear. The longer a hail event sits undocumented, the harder it is to tie the damage to the storm that caused it.
Building Edge Construction inspects the roof, the soft metals and the attic, photographs every finding, and tells you plainly whether you have a claim worth filing. Owner John Baudry does the inspection himself. It is free, and there is no pressure to file.

Know the Signs
Dents or dimples in gutters, downspouts, vents or flashing — the softest metals show hail first
Dark or shiny spots on shingles where the granules were knocked loose
Granules collecting in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts
Bruised shingles that feel soft or spongy when pressed
Dents on the garage door, AC fins, fence caps or mailbox
Neighbors on your street having roofs inspected or replaced
Seeing two or three of these is usually enough to justify an inspection. Request a free hail inspection or call (832) 951-8777.

Common Questions
Start with the soft metals. Dented gutters, vents, flashing or a dented garage door usually mean the roof took hits too. On the shingles themselves look for dark spots where granules were knocked off. A free inspection settles it either way — we photograph what we find and tell you honestly whether it is worth filing.
Three things: they inspect and document thoroughly before talking about a claim, they are willing to tell you when you do not have a claim, and they can carry the job from emergency tarp through finished rebuild. Owner John Baudry does the inspections himself, our restoration work draws on IICRC-certified experience, and we work directly with your insurance company.
Sudden hail and wind damage is typically a covered peril, while age and normal wear are not. That is why documentation matters so much. We inspect, photograph the damage, and work directly with your carrier so the claim reflects the real scope of what happened.
Deadlines vary by policy and by the date of loss, and the longer you wait the harder it is to tie the damage to a specific storm. Get a free inspection soon after a hail event so the damage is documented while it is fresh.
The inspection is free. If the damage is covered by insurance, your out-of-pocket cost is usually just your deductible. For non-covered repairs we quote in writing after inspecting, based on the actual damage and materials — we do not quote blind.
Often, yes. If the approved scope misses damage that is clearly there, we can document it and submit a supplement to your carrier with the evidence. We have navigated a lot of Gulf Coast storm claims.
