Storm Damage Roof Repair in Melissa, TX
Most hail damage doesn't show itself from the ground. Melissa Roofing Co lines up a close look at your own roof, and nothing moves until you say so.
The morning after a Melissa hailstorm
Hail rarely punches a hole in anything; it bruises the mat inside an asphalt shingle and knocks the granules loose, and that quieter damage is why Melissa Roofing Co hears from homeowners after a Collin County storm. From the ground the roof looks like it did last week.
Two summers on, a bruise like that is where the mat splits and water comes through, and a small repair becomes a big one. We're on your side of this, so our roofers climb up and weigh what is there against the hail this county sees, 88 reports of an inch or larger since 2023, and against the age of your roof.
Collin County storm record, on the books.
After a storm, most people want to know one thing: was that normal for here? This is Collin County's own record of hail and wind, year by year.
Source: NOAA / NCEI Storm Events Database · Collin County 2023–2026 · updated July 2026. Year rows count hail days at 1" or larger; the county figure above counts every hail day on record, at any size. Dated rows are the largest event of each recent year, then the largest remaining on record. Every count here is county-wide, so an event in the table landed somewhere in Collin County and not necessarily over your roof. The newest season reads thin because reports take time to reach the database.
Hail damage a Melissa roof hides well
Hail hardly ever leaves the mark you'd go looking for. What it does leave is small and high up, and you are not expected to find it from the yard.
- Granules in the gutter: The grit that shields the shingle washes down first, and it lands where nobody thinks to look.
- Bruises you have to feel: A stone can crush the mat without breaking the surface, so a roofer presses a hand along the shingle to find the soft spots.
- Dents in the metal: Vents, flashing and gutter aprons take a visible mark long before the asphalt around them does.
- Cap shingles lifted on the ridge: Wind works the peak loose along a line you can't see from any window.
- A ceiling stain months later: Water reaches the split long after the storm, so a dry ceiling in your house today settles nothing.
Most houses in Melissa went up around 2013, so plenty of these roofs are still on their first covering. A young roof handles ordinary wear better than an old one, and it handles a three inch hailstone no better at all. Collin County has logged one that big. Impact-rated shingles are rated for the hit itself; they buy no extra years, and they change nothing about what a roof warranty covers. If this ends up as a hail claim, that is your policy and your call.
