Taft Hailstorm: How to Protect
Your Roof and Your Home
Taft, Texas, recently experienced a hailstorm that left homeowners worried about roof damage. Hail can dent shingles, damage gutters, and cause unseen issues that worsen over time. Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, hidden damage may lead to leaks, mold, or expensive repairs later.
At Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing, we specialize in helping Taft homeowners assess storm damage, perform repairs, and restore roofs with honesty, quality craftsmanship, and trusted local expertise. Here’s what you need to know after this recent storm.
How Hail Damages Roofs
Hail damage isn’t always visible from the street, but it can compromise your roof’s integrity. Common signs of hail damage include:
- Cracked, chipped, or bruised shingles
- Granule loss leaving the asphalt layer exposed
- Dented gutters, vents, and flashing
- Water stains inside your attic or ceilings
Even minor damage can worsen over time, so timely inspection is critical.
Why You Need a Professional Roof Inspection
Trying to inspect or repair hail damage yourself can be risky and may miss hidden problems. A professional roof inspection ensures:
- All damage is accurately identified
- Documentation for insurance claims is complete
- Safe, expert recommendations for repair or replacement
At Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing, our inspections are thorough, no-pressure, and free. We’ll guide you through your options so you can make informed decisions.
Repair or Replace: Making the Right Choice
Depending on your roof’s age and the severity of hail damage:
- Minor repairs may be sufficient for small, isolated damage
- Partial shingle replacement may be needed for moderate damage
- Full roof replacement is sometimes the safest option for older or extensively damaged roofs
We use high-quality, impact-resistant materials designed to withstand Texas weather, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Protecting Your Home After a Storm
Even after repairs, taking preventive steps can save money and stress:
- ➤Schedule regular roof inspections
- ➤Keep gutters and downspouts clear
- ➤Trim tree branches near the roof to prevent storm damage
- ➤Consider impact-resistant shingles for future hail protection
