Hail storms hit Pflugerville without warning. Your roof, gutters, siding, and windows can all take damage in a single 10-minute event. At Glacier Home Exteriors, we provide free hail damage inspections within 72 hours, document every finding for your insurance claim, and handle the repair or full roof replacement from start to finish. Pflugerville has grown quickly, with a mix of 1990s-era homes approaching roof replacement age and newer builds. Both roof types are vulnerable to hail, but for different reasons.
Pflugerville sits in Travis County on the southern edge of what meteorologists call Hail Alley. Central Texas experiences multiple significant hail events every spring, typically from March through June, with occasional fall storms as well. Supercell thunderstorms form along the dryline, move east across the I-35 corridor, and drop hail ranging from pea-sized to softball-sized.
Not every hail event causes visible damage. But even small hail can bruise shingles, break the seal strip, and reduce your roof’s lifespan by years. The only way to know for sure is a professional inspection from the roof surface, not from the ground. We climb every roof, document every finding, and provide a written report you can use for your insurance claim.
Hail damage is not always obvious from the driveway. Here is what to look for and what we check during a free inspection.
Hail strikes knock granules loose and create soft spots in the asphalt mat. These bruises may not be visible from the ground but show up clearly under a close inspection. Left untreated, bruised shingles fail within a few years.
A driveway or gutter full of dark granules after a storm is one of the most common hail damage signs. Granules protect the asphalt underneath from UV rays. Once they are gone, shingles degrade quickly.
If your metal gutters, roof vents, or flashing show dents, the hail was large enough to damage your shingles too. Metal damage is our fastest clue that a full inspection is warranted.
Large hail can crack shingles outright or break the sealant strip that holds them down. Wind-driven rain then gets underneath, leading to leaks weeks or months later.
If your siding, window screens, or outdoor AC unit took hits, your roof almost certainly did too. We inspect the full exterior during every hail assessment.
The actions you take immediately after a hail event shape how your insurance claim plays out. Here is the sequence we recommend.
Note the date, time, and approximate duration. Save any local news or weather reports. Photograph any visible damage from the ground, including hail on the lawn, dents in gutters, and broken items.
Hail-damaged roofs are slippery, and missing granules mean less traction. Leave the roof inspection to a professional with fall protection.
Call or text 254-265-8898 to schedule a free hail damage inspection within 72 hours. We provide a written report with photos that you can submit with your insurance claim.
Once we have documented damage, file your claim. Most Texas policies give you one year from the date of the storm, but waiting too long makes claims harder to prove. See our complete Texas insurance claim guide for the full process.
After any major hail event, out-of-state contractors show up knocking on doors. Do not sign anything with a contractor you cannot verify as local and licensed. Pflugerville homeowners deserve a contractor who will still be around next year for warranty work.
Most Pflugerville homeowners have never filed a hail damage claim before. We walk you through every step.
We inspect your roof, gutters, siding, and windows. Every finding is photographed and documented. You get a written report before the adjuster ever arrives.
We meet your insurance adjuster on-site. Adjusters are not dishonest, but hail damage is easy to miss. Having your contractor present means nothing gets overlooked.
If the insurance estimate is missing items or priced low, we file a supplement with documentation. This is where experienced contractors make the biggest difference to your final settlement.
Once approved, we schedule your roof replacement with GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed materials. Most jobs complete in one to two days. Workmanship warranty included.

In Texas, a single weather-related claim typically does not increase your premium. Hail damage is an act of nature, not a fault claim. Not filing a legitimate claim is almost always more expensive in the long run.
Yes. Your deductible is your share of the repair cost. Be very cautious of any contractor who offers to waive or absorb your deductible. That practice is illegal in Texas under insurance fraud statutes.
Most HOAs require you to match existing colors and materials or get approval for upgrades. We verify HOA compliance before installation and provide documentation. Many insurance policies also include code upgrade coverage for HOA-required materials.
Most Texas homeowner policies give you one year from the date of the storm. Some give two. Check your policy, but do not wait. Evidence degrades, memories fade, and adjusters are tougher on old claims.
No obligation. Written report with photos. We handle your insurance claim from start to finish.
