Hail, high winds and severe Texas weather can damage a roofing system even when everything looks normal from the ground.
Class 5 Roofing provides storm-damage roof inspections for homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle. We'll inspect the roofing system, document visible conditions and explain what we find in straightforward language.
Hail can damage shingles and other roofing materials, sometimes leaving bruising, fractures or exposed areas that aren't easily visible from the ground.
High winds can lift, loosen, crease or remove shingles and leave portions of the roofing system vulnerable.
Wind and hail can affect flashing around roof penetrations, walls, chimneys and other areas designed to keep water out.
Roof vents, pipe boots and other components can be cracked, loosened or damaged during severe weather.
Missing or displaced roofing materials can expose underlying components to rain and additional weather.
Ceiling stains, damp insulation or other signs of moisture may appear after storm damage allows water into the roofing system.
That's normal. Some storm damage isn't obvious without a closer inspection.
Severe storms can expose a roofing system to several types of damage at the same time. Hail typically causes impact-related damage, while strong winds can lift, loosen or remove roofing materials.
Understanding the difference helps us know what to look for during an inspection.
Hail can strike shingles, metal components, vents, flashing and other exposed roofing materials. Depending on the size of the hail, wind speed and roofing material, impacts may cause bruising, fractures, granule loss or other visible damage.
Some hail damage can be difficult to identify from the ground, which is why a closer roof inspection may be appropriate after a significant storm.
Strong winds can lift or crease shingles, loosen roofing materials, damage flashing and expose areas of the roofing system to water intrusion.
Wind damage isn't always as obvious as a missing shingle. Materials can sometimes remain in place while their ability to properly protect the roof has been affected.
That's why we inspect the roofing system as a whole instead of looking for only one problem.
Every storm and every roofing system is different. Our job is to evaluate the visible condition of the roof, identify areas that may have been affected by severe weather and document what we find.
Then we'll explain it to you in plain English so you understand what may need attention and why.

We'll evaluate accessible areas of the roofing system for visible signs of hail, wind, water or other storm-related damage.

Have questions about hail, wind or storm damage? Here are straightforward answers to common questions from Texas property owners.
Hail damage is not always visible from the ground. Signs can include bruised or cracked shingles, missing granules, damaged flashing, dents in metal components, and damage around vents or other roof penetrations. After a significant hailstorm, a professional roof inspection can help identify visible damage and determine whether repair, replacement or continued monitoring may be appropriate.
Yes. Wind can damage a roof even when shingles are still in place. Strong winds can lift, loosen or crease shingles, weaken their seals, damage flashing and expose vulnerable areas of the roofing system to water intrusion. Because some wind damage can be difficult to see from the ground, a professional roof inspection can help determine whether the roofing system has been affected.
If your property has experienced a significant hailstorm, having the roof inspected can help you understand its condition even when no damage is obvious from the ground. Hail can affect shingles, flashing, vents and other roofing components in ways that may not be immediately visible. Class 5 Roofing can inspect the roofing system, document visible conditions and explain whether anything needs attention.
Not necessarily. Whether storm damage requires repair or replacement depends on the type and extent of the damage, the age and condition of the roofing system, and which roofing components were affected. Some storm damage may be repairable, while more widespread damage may require a different solution. Class 5 Roofing will inspect the roof, explain what we find and help you understand the available options before you decide what comes next.
Yes—on the roofing side of the process. Class 5 Roofing can inspect the roof, document visible storm-related conditions, provide roofing estimates and explain the repair or replacement work being proposed. Your insurance company determines coverage and makes claim decisions. Our role is to help you understand the condition of your roof and the roofing work that may be needed.
If you suspect your property was affected by hail, high winds or severe weather, it's a good idea to have the roof inspected as soon as practical. Some storm damage may not be obvious from the ground, and damaged roofing materials can become more vulnerable to additional weather and water intrusion. An inspection can help identify visible conditions early and give you a clearer understanding of whether anything needs attention.
