Why It Matters

Central Texas hail doesn’t ask permission.

โŒ

Hidden hail damage

McLennan and Bell County average 3โ€“4 significant hail events per year. From the ground your roof can look fine while bruised shingles are already failing โ€” by the time leaks show up, you’ve missed the insurance window.

โŒ’

Small leaks scale fast

A water spot in the attic today becomes rotted decking, mold, and ruined drywall within weeks. The roof is the single most expensive part of your home to neglect.

$

Insurance claim windows

Most carriers cover hail damage minus deductible โ€” but only if you file within their window. Documentation matters. We’ve helped Central Texas homeowners through hundreds of claims and know what adjusters need to see.

โŒ‚

Storm chasers

Out-of-state roofers descend on Central Texas after every hail event, install fast, and disappear before warranty matters. We’ve been in Waco the whole time. We’ll still be here when your warranty needs us.

Our Process

From inspection to install, done right.

  1. Full roof inspection. We climb up, check every plane, slope, and penetration. Document hail bruising, granule loss, lifted shingles, damaged flashing โ€” everything that matters for repair scope or insurance.
  2. Photo documentation & claim help. If insurance is involved, we provide the visual record adjusters need and walk you through the claim. We don’t negotiate your settlement โ€” but we make sure the damage isn’t missed.
  3. Material selection. Shingle profile, color, warranty tier, ventilation upgrades. We explain what each choice changes and recommend what fits your home and climate โ€” not what carries the highest commission.
  4. Proper installation. Correct nail pattern, ice-and-water barrier where it matters, flashing details done right at every penetration. This is where 90% of roof failures originate โ€” and where we don’t cut corners.
  5. Cleanup & warranty walkthrough. Magnetic sweep your driveway and lawn. Haul every old shingle. Walk you through GAF / Owens Corning warranty paperwork plus our own 10-year labor coverage.

Common Questions

What homeowners actually ask us.

Do I need a new roof or just repairs?

Under 15 years old with isolated damage = repair. 20+ years, widespread granule loss, multiple problem areas, curling shingles = replacement. We’ll give you an honest assessment, photographs, and the math at no charge.

Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage?

Most Texas policies do, minus your deductible. The catch: insurers require timely filing and documented damage. We’ve helped Central Texas homeowners through hundreds of claims โ€” and we don’t charge for the documentation help. It’s part of the inspection.

How long does a roof replacement take?

For most Central Texas homes, 1โ€“2 days on-site for the roof itself. We bring enough crew to finish the tear-off, decking inspection, and install in a single day when weather allows. Larger or complex roofs may run 3 days.

How long should a new roof last in Central Texas?

A quality architectural asphalt shingle roof installed properly typically lasts 20โ€“30 years here. Hail events shorten that โ€” but with impact-rated shingles (Class 4) and proper ventilation you maximize the lifespan and may qualify for a homeowners insurance discount.

Are you a storm chaser?

No. Glacier is family-owned out of Waco, TX. We’ve been here through hail events and dry years. When you need warranty service in year 7, we pick up the phone โ€” because we’re still on the same street.
