Trusted Hail Damage Roof Inspections
We find storm damage fast and give you clear next steps to protect your roof and property.
Service Details
At Pillar Roofing, hail damage roof inspections are one of the most important services we provide for commercial property owners in Richardson, TX and the surrounding area. North Texas storms can hit hard and fast. Hail can damage a roof even when the problems are not easy to see from the ground. That is why we take a careful, professional approach to every inspection. Our goal is to help you understand the true condition of your roof, protect your building, and avoid bigger repair costs later.
We perform hail damage roof inspections for many types of commercial roofing systems. This includes single-ply roofing, modified bitumen, composition roofing, and other low-slope and commercial roof systems. Hail can affect each material in different ways. A proper inspection needs more than a quick look. It requires experience, close attention to detail, and a clear understanding of how storm damage shows up on different roofing surfaces.
Why Hail Damage Inspections Matter
After a hailstorm, some damage is obvious. You may see dents in metal, cracked roofing materials, punctures, loose flashing, or signs of water getting into the building. But in many cases, hail damage is subtle. The roof may have weakened seams, bruised membrane areas, displaced granules, damaged roof penetrations, or small impact marks that turn into leaks over time. If these issues are missed, they can shorten the life of the roof and lead to interior damage, insulation problems, mold risk, and costly business disruptions.
A professional hail inspection gives you a clear picture of what happened and what needs to be done next. It also helps you make informed decisions about repairs, maintenance, replacement planning, and insurance claims when storm damage is involved.
What We Look For During a Hail Damage Roof Inspection
We inspect the full roofing system, not just a few visible areas. Our process is designed to identify both direct hail impact damage and related storm issues caused by wind-driven rain and debris. During the inspection, we may evaluate:
- Roof membrane condition and impact points
- Punctures, splits, cracks, and surface bruising
- Seams, laps, and signs of separation
- Flashing around curbs, walls, drains, skylights, and penetrations
- Metal components such as edge metal, vents, HVAC covers, and coping caps for dents and damage
- Drainage performance and signs of standing water
- Rooftop equipment areas where hail may have caused damage
- Evidence of granule loss on composition roofing surfaces
- Modified bitumen damage such as fractures, displaced surfacing, or membrane compromise
- Interior signs of roof leaks or moisture intrusion when needed
We document what we find and explain it in simple terms. If there is damage, we will help you understand whether it is cosmetic, functional, or severe enough to require immediate repair.
Our Inspection Process
We believe a good inspection should be thorough, honest, and easy for the customer to understand. When you call Pillar Roofing for a hail damage roof inspection, we start with a free estimate and consultation. We will ask about the age of the roof, the type of roofing system, the date of the storm if known, and any signs of problems you have noticed, such as leaks, ceiling stains, or changes around rooftop units.
Next, our team performs an on-site roof inspection. We examine accessible roof areas, key roofing components, drainage points, and visible storm-related impact areas. If needed, we also check for related issues that could affect performance, such as poor water flow, older repairs that may have been weakened by the storm, or soft spots that suggest hidden moisture.
After the inspection, we go over our findings with you. We explain the condition of the roof, outline any recommended repairs, and let you know if the damage appears consistent with hail impact. If the roof is in good shape, we will tell you that too. We do not believe in pushing work that is not needed. Our job is to give you an accurate assessment so you can make the right decision for your property.
Commercial Roofing Experience You Can Trust
Commercial roofing systems are different from residential roofs. They have their own materials, drainage patterns, penetrations, traffic areas, and maintenance needs. Hail damage on a commercial roof can affect more than just the surface. It can impact insulation, seams, flashing, rooftop equipment, and long-term watertight performance.
As a family-owned company, we take pride in doing the work the right way. Pillar Roofing is based in Richardson, TX, and we focus on high-quality roofing solutions for commercial clients. Our team is RCAT licensed, and we bring hands-on experience to inspections, repairs, maintenance plans, and roof replacement recommendations. We understand what property owners, managers, and facility teams need: clear communication, honest answers, dependable service, and work that protects the building.
When to Schedule a Hail Inspection
It is smart to schedule a hail damage roof inspection as soon as possible after a major storm. Even if the roof is not leaking yet, early detection can prevent more serious issues. You should also call for an inspection if:
- You saw hail in the area, especially larger hail
- You notice water spots, drips, or interior ceiling stains
- There are dents on metal rooftop components or nearby property features
- Your building has an older roof that may be more vulnerable to storm damage
- You want documentation of the roof condition for insurance or maintenance records
- Your roof has not been professionally inspected in a while
Fast action matters. Minor storm damage can spread over time, especially when the next round of rain hits. A timely inspection can help reduce repair costs and limit business interruption.
What Happens if We Find Damage
If we find hail damage, we will walk you through the next steps. Depending on the condition of the roof, this may include targeted roof repairs, more extensive restoration work, or replacement recommendations if the damage is widespread. We also offer roof maintenance plans that can help extend roof life and catch future issues early.
Because every commercial roof is different, we tailor our recommendations to your building, budget, and long-term goals. In some cases, a prompt repair is enough to restore performance. In others, the storm may have exposed deeper problems that make replacement the smarter investment. We will explain your options clearly so you can move forward with confidence.

Hail Damage Roof Inspection FAQs
If your commercial roof may have been hit by hail, these are the questions we hear most often. We’ve answered them clearly so you know what to expect and when to call Pillar Roofing.
- How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage is not always easy to spot from the ground. You may see dents on metal panels, damage around vents and flashing, loosened roofing material, punctures, or signs of leaks inside the building. In many cases, the damage is subtle at first but gets worse over time. That is why we recommend a professional hail damage roof inspection after any major storm. At Pillar Roofing, we inspect the full roofing system carefully and explain what we find in plain language.
- Do I really need a professional hail damage inspection after a storm?
Yes. Commercial hail damage can be easy to miss, especially on flat roofs and low-slope roofing systems. Small impact marks can turn into leaks, membrane damage, seam problems, and early roof failure if they are ignored. A professional inspection helps you catch issues early, protect your building, and avoid bigger repair costs later. Our team at Pillar Roofing provides free estimates and consultations, so you can get answers without pressure.
- What types of commercial roofs do you inspect for hail damage?
We inspect a wide range of commercial roofing systems, including single-ply roofing, modified bitumen, composition roofing, and other common commercial roof types. Because different materials show hail damage in different ways, it is important to have an experienced roofing contractor evaluate the roof correctly. We know what to look for and how to document damage accurately.
- Can hail damage lead to leaks even if the roof looks fine right now?
Absolutely. Hail can weaken membranes, damage flashing, bruise roofing materials, and create small problem areas that may not leak right away. Over time, normal weather and roof movement can turn hidden storm damage into active leaks and interior water damage. A timely inspection helps find those weak spots before they become a larger problem for your property or tenants.
- Will you give me an honest opinion if the damage is minor?
Yes. We believe in doing business the right way. If your roof only has minor damage or no hail damage at all, we will tell you. Our goal is to help you make the right decision for your building, not push work you do not need. Pillar Roofing is a family-owned company based in Richardson, TX, and we have built our reputation on integrity, clear communication, and dependable service.

"Pillar Roofing replaced my roof and gutters last month and they did an excellent job. Steve and George are awesome! They were very quick to respond and answer any questions that we had. I highly recommend Pillar if you need a new roof!!"
"Can’t recommend Pillar Roofing enough! Steve and Wayne came out within a day of my talking to them, took their pictures and came back with several bid offers, everything from a full rebuild to simply minimal patching. We went with the middle road of doing a liquid TPO, which they got done in record time, and hauled off all their materials. No leaks on that project since, and we had them back out for another roof that started leaking after that terrible 2022 north Texas rainstorm. Same story, record time for the bid, and they got it done with no hassle on our end. Highly recommended! John Lee Harrison- The Armstrong Foundation"

We had two roofers give us a quote to replace the entire roof that didn’t even get on top of our roof! BLAKE from Pillar Roofing came out and then met with me to go over his quote and suggested we get an insurance adjuster out because he saw some hail damage. Our roof was over 20 years old. So we did and the inspector agreed. Blake walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions. His crew showed up even earlier than Blake advised on both days. They cleaned up after demo and after install. They completed the job when Blake advised. The roof looks amazing and all my neighbors are asking for their number! Blake is extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain the process to me and everything he advised was true to what occurred. Blake is personable, patient, and very responsive. I felt completely at ease working with Blake on this major project! I am extremely pleased with Pillar Roofing!!!"

I'm happy. Thank you."

"I could not have asked for better service. I was hit by the two major hail storms in Wylie. After the first one, I contacted Blake Joyce to look at my roof.........wasn't sure if I needed to contact my insurance company. He came out right away and confirmed the call. Needless to say, the second one hit and I then had hundreds of holes in my roof..........water coming in everywhere. My adjuster was already scheduled to come out the day after. Once he gave the OK......Blake had his crew were out to cover the roof that night..........by Friday (which was before the next big rain that came) he had our beautiful new roof going and finished Saturday morning. Thank you Pillar/Blake Joyce for the awesome job done and being so kind and patient! Karen Clevenger"
"Pillar handled the storm repair on my house in Wylie, TX in 2017. They repaired my roof, repaired my gutters, replaced my siding, and recommended a great guy to help repair and update my AC unit. They handled all the arrangements with me remotely as I was living out of state at the time. Their customer service was a huge help to me. They were honest, responsive, and understanding. I highly recommend this family owned company. Thank you Pillar!"
"Pillar Roofing was really great. We had our roof ruined in the spring hail storm of 2017 and they were among many roofers we talked to. Pillar gave us a reasonable quote, they were on time and the work was really terrific. And they cleaned up after the job! I highly recommend them."
"Got hit pretty bad with the Murphy Hail Storm last Spring. Steve the owner was personally engaged as well as several of his staff. He took us through the entire process and explained what to expect and the timing from start to finish. He worked directly with our Insurance company and assured all our damage was repaired and even pointed out things to the adjuster that we had no clue were covered. Very satisfied with the results and the professionalism of the crew. While I hope we never have to go through that again, you can be sure we will be calling Pillar Roofing if we do."

"Great company, great customer service!"
"I recently (late 2014) had a fairly major interior and exterior paint job, and woodwork replacement, done to my house. Our house is completely painted brick and fascia, a rather large job. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Pillar Construction. I am a very picky person and they more than satisfied me. I would be happy to answer any questions from a perspective customer, or anyone else, but can't say enough good things about the services performed. They exceeded my expectations!!"
