Preston Hollow Hail Damage Roof Inspections: What Adjusters Look For

Preston Hollow (75230), Devonshire (75220), and University Park (75225) sit in one of the most hail-battered corridors of North Dallas. Almost every major storm event drops 1"+ hail somewhere in these ZIPs. Here's what your insurance adjuster is actually looking for on a Preston Hollow hail inspection.

What Approves a Full Roof Replacement

  • 8+ hail hits per 10' × 10' test square on the primary slope
  • Bruised mat (soft spots when pressed), granule loss exposing the fiberglass
  • Broken tabs, cracks radiating from impact points
  • Matching damage on soft metals — vents, gutters, garage doors, screens

What Adjusters Deny

  • Blistering, foot traffic, and mechanical damage (not storm-related)
  • Damage older than the current policy period
  • "Cosmetic only" hits with no functional damage

Always have a licensed Dallas roofer meet the adjuster on the roof — documented in writing, with photos. This one step is the difference between a partial-slope patch and a full replacement.
