Bunton Roofing Company Responds After Severe Hail Storms Across the Big Country
Large Hail and High Winds Reported Across West Central Texas
Yesterday’s storms brought another round of severe weather across West Central Texas and the Big Country, producing large hail, damaging winds, and dangerous storm activity in multiple communities served by Bunton Roofing.
According to official NOAA storm reports, several areas saw hail large enough to damage roofing systems, siding, gutters, windows, and vehicles. Some locations also experienced intense straight-line winds and rotating storm activity.
For homeowners and businesses across the Big Country, now is a good time to inspect properties for possible storm damage before small issues turn into larger leaks or structural problems.

How Hail Can Damage Your Roof
Many homeowners expect roof damage to be obvious, but hail damage is often difficult to spot from the ground. In many cases, leaks may not appear until weeks or months later.
Common Signs of Roof Damage After Hail
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Bruised shingles
Granule loss
Cracked shingles
Missing or lifted tabs
Metal Roofs
Dents and impact marks
Damaged seams or fasteners
Scratches that expose bare metal
Other Exterior Signs
Dented gutters and downspouts
Torn window screens
Fence damage
Damaged roof vents or flashing
If your area experienced hail yesterday, even without visible leaks, a professional inspection can help identify hidden storm damage early.
What To Do After a Hail Storm
After severe weather moves through, here are a few important steps homeowners should take:
Check around your property for visible exterior damage
Take photos of hail, debris, or impacted areas
Avoid climbing on the roof yourself
Schedule a professional roof inspection
Keep records if an insurance claim becomes necessary
At Bunton Roofing, we help homeowners throughout Abilene and the Big Country inspect roofs after storms and understand what damage may qualify for insurance coverage.
