After a Hail Storm: Wylie Roof Checklist for DFW Homeowners

If hail or wind rolled through Wylie, the safest first step is a ground-level check, a few photos, and a quick look for leak signs inside. That tells you whether you can wait or whether you need a professional inspection.

1) Walk the property from the ground

• Look for shingles in the yard, driveway, or near downspouts.
• Check gutters for granules or fresh dents on metal parts.
• Note obvious damage to vents, flashing, fence caps, or AC fins.

2) Check the attic and ceilings

• Look for new water spots or yellowing on ceilings.
• Check attic insulation for damp areas after rain.
• Watch for musty odors that show up after storms.

3) Take photos before any temporary repair

Date-stamped photos help you track what changed, what needs repair, and what should be documented before work starts. It is the boring part that saves time later.

4) Do not assume small damage is harmless

A lifted shingle, dented vent, or tiny puncture can turn into a leak after the next rain cycle. Small roof issues usually age badly.

5) Know when to call a roofer

• You see missing shingles or active leaking.
• You are not sure whether the damage is cosmetic or functional.
• You want a written inspection summary for next steps.
