Trusted Roof & Hail Damage Inspection
We find storm damage fast and give you clear answers, honest guidance, and a free inspection estimate.
Service Details
At Pillar Roofing, our Roof & Hail Damage Inspection service is built to help commercial property owners find damage early, protect their building, and make smart repair decisions. In North Texas, hail, high winds, heavy rain, and strong sun can all shorten the life of a roofing system. A professional inspection gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition before small issues turn into leaks, interior damage, business disruption, or costly emergency repairs.
We provide detailed roof inspections for commercial roofs of many types, including single-ply roofing systems, modified bitumen, composition roofing, and other low-slope and flat roof systems. As a family-owned roofing contractor based in Richardson, TX, we bring hands-on experience, honest communication, and careful attention to every inspection. Our team is RCAT licensed, and we offer free estimates and consultations so you can get trusted guidance without pressure.
What our Roof & Hail Damage Inspection includes
We take a thorough approach. Our goal is not to rush through the job or give you a vague opinion. We inspect the roof system carefully and look for signs of storm damage, aging, and problem areas that may affect performance.
- Surface condition review: We check the roof covering for hail strikes, punctures, tears, blisters, splits, granule loss, membrane damage, exposed substrate, and wear from weather or foot traffic.
- Flashing and edge detail inspection: We examine flashing, coping, roof edges, penetrations, and transitions where leaks often begin.
- Drainage evaluation: We inspect drains, scuppers, gutters, and slope conditions to spot standing water, slow drainage, and areas that may lead to premature roof deterioration.
- Roof penetration checks: We look closely around HVAC units, vents, skylights, pipes, curbs, and other penetrations that are common leak points.
- Seam and attachment review: On single-ply and membrane roofing systems, we check seams, fasteners, and attachment points for separation, lifting, and storm-related stress.
- Interior leak indicators: When needed, we note signs that may connect roof damage to interior issues such as water stains, moisture intrusion, or insulation concerns.
- Hail and storm impact assessment: We identify visible storm-related damage and document conditions that may affect repair needs or support an insurance claim.
Why hail damage inspections matter
Hail damage is not always easy to spot from the ground. Some damage is obvious, but other issues are subtle and still serious. A roof may look fine from a distance while the membrane, seams, flashing, or protective surface has already been compromised. If that damage goes unchecked, water can find its way into the roof assembly and create bigger problems over time.
A timely hail damage roof inspection can help you:
- Catch roof damage before it turns into active leaks
- Reduce repair costs by addressing smaller issues early
- Protect inventory, equipment, tenants, and interior finishes
- Support insurance documentation after a storm event
- Plan repair or replacement work with better information
- Extend the service life of your commercial roof
Common signs your commercial roof may need an inspection
We recommend scheduling a roof inspection after any major storm, but there are also everyday warning signs that should not be ignored.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Dripping water or active leaks
- Ponding water on the roof
- Loose flashing or visible membrane damage
- Clogged drains or overflow during rain
- Higher interior humidity or unexplained moisture issues
- Debris impact after hail or wind storms
- An aging roof that has not been checked recently
Our inspection process
We start by learning about your property, roof history, known leak locations, and any recent storm exposure. Then we perform a careful visual inspection of the roofing system and surrounding components. If we find storm damage, wear, or weak points, we explain what we see in plain language. We believe you should understand the condition of your roof without confusing technical talk.
After the inspection, we provide clear recommendations based on the roof’s actual condition. That may include minor repairs, more involved roof repair work, preventative maintenance, or replacement planning if the damage is extensive. If your roof is still in good shape, we will tell you that too. Our focus is to give honest guidance that helps you protect your building and budget.
Built for commercial properties
Commercial roofing systems have different demands than residential roofs. Flat and low-slope roofs often include HVAC equipment, rooftop penetrations, drainage systems, and large surface areas that require experienced evaluation. Our team understands these systems and knows where problems tend to develop. Whether you manage an office building, retail center, warehouse, industrial property, or multi-unit commercial facility, we can tailor the inspection to your roof type and conditions.
Helpful documentation and next steps
One of the biggest benefits of a professional roof storm damage inspection is having documented findings you can use to plan your next move. Knowing the location and extent of damage helps you make better decisions about repair timing, maintenance planning, and long-term roof performance. If insurance involvement is needed, documented roof conditions can also help support the process.
When repairs are needed, we can handle the work with the same attention to detail we bring to our inspections. Our commercial roofing services include roof repair, roof replacement, single-ply systems, modified bitumen, composition roofing, and roof maintenance plans designed to help prevent future issues and extend roof life.

Roof & Hail Damage Inspection FAQs
Common questions we hear from property owners and managers about storm damage, inspections, and what to expect when you 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 notice dents on metal, cracked or bruised roofing materials, loose flashing, leaks, clogged drains, or pieces of roofing around the property. In many cases, the damage is subtle but still serious. That is why we recommend a professional roof and hail damage inspection after any strong storm. At Pillar Roofing, we look for both visible and hidden damage so you can make the right next move.
- Should I get my roof inspected even if I do not see a leak?
Yes. A roof can take storm damage without showing an immediate leak. Hail and wind can weaken roofing materials, seams, flashing, and roof penetrations long before water makes it indoors. An early inspection helps catch problems before they turn into interior damage, business disruption, or larger repair costs. We can assess the condition of your commercial roof and give you clear, honest feedback.
- What happens during a roof and hail damage inspection?
We perform a detailed inspection of the roof system and related components. That can include checking the membrane, shingles or composition roofing, flashing, drainage areas, penetrations, rooftop units, and signs of impact damage or water intrusion. We document what we find and explain it in plain language. If repairs are needed, we will walk you through your options and provide a free estimate.
- Can you help if I need documentation for an insurance claim?
Yes. We can provide thorough inspection findings to help support your claim process. Our team knows what storm-related roofing damage looks like and how to document it clearly. While we do not make decisions for your insurance company, we can give you the information you need to better understand the condition of your roof and move forward with confidence.
- How much does a roof and hail damage inspection cost?
We offer free estimates and consultations, so you can speak with our team and get guidance without added pressure. If you suspect hail damage, it is smart to have the roof checked sooner rather than later. A prompt inspection can help you avoid bigger repair bills and reduce the chance of further damage to your property.

"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"

"EXTREMELY SATISFIED CUSTOMER! When I was first shopping for roofers for a major skylight leak I couldn’t even find an honest roofer. We have cameras all around our house. 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!!!"
"We are extremely pleased with the work Pillar did on our roof. Blake Joyce managed the replacement of both the shingle and copper replacement of a very steep roof.

This is an outstanding roofing company."

I'm happy. Thank you."
"Marshall Was awesome!!!!! We had a storm come thru and he check our roof. We got busy with life and Marshall was Persistent (in a Good way) to make sure I was able to get the claim done.

Marshall and Pillar made the adjustments to help get the roof done and made sure that everything went smooth from start to finish. Even when there was a scheduling conflict they even made sure the work would be done around our busy schedule so we could continue to show the house.

"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!!"
