This Anna, TX home needed a full roof replacement after a hail storm damaged the shingles, gutters, deck, outbuilding, window screens, and some windows. Rainy Day Restoration & Roofing performed a complete tear-off, installed new synthetic felt underlayment with ice-and-water shield in the valleys, installed new shingles, and replaced flashing and vents. Gutters and downspouts were replaced, the metal outbuilding was repainted, and the garage door, screens, and affected windows were replaced. The roof replacement was completed in three days, and the roof passed final inspection. The claim involved All State insurance, and the project fell in the $15k–$50k range.
What we found in Anna
When our team arrived, the damage pointed clearly to one cause: hail. There was no wind-driven damage pattern on this property, only hail impact marks across the roofing system and several other exterior surfaces. The shingles showed bruising and mat exposure consistent with hail strikes, and the impact damage extended beyond the roof to the gutters, deck boards, the metal outbuilding, window screens, and some window surfaces themselves.
Rainy Day’s role
As a family-owned company licensed under RCO1416 and IICRC-certified, Rainy Day was brought in the day after the loss was reported. Because the property owner was working with All State on a claim, our team documented the hail impact damage across every affected surface before starting any repair work, giving the adjuster and homeowner a clear record of scope. From that first inspection through the completed rebuild, one company handled the process.
What we did
The roof work started with a full tear-off down to the deck, removing every layer of the old roofing system. We installed synthetic felt underlayment across the roof and added ice-and-water shield in the valleys, where water intrusion risk is highest during heavy rain. New shingles went on next, followed by replacement flashing and vents to seal every penetration point. Beyond the roof, we replaced the damaged gutters and downspouts, repainted the metal outbuilding that had taken hail impact, replaced the garage door, and installed new window screens and select windows that had been damaged by the storm.

Why hail damage is worth taking seriously
Hail damage is easy to underestimate because it doesn’t always look dramatic from the ground. Bruised shingles can still shed water for a while, but the mat and granule loss underneath weakens the material’s ability to protect the deck over time. Hail impact isn’t limited to roofing, either — it can affect siding, gutters, outbuildings, screens, and window glass, which is why a full property walk-through after a storm matters, not just a roof check.
Result and next step
The roof replacement passed final inspection, and every affected component — gutters, downspouts, the outbuilding, garage door, screens, and windows — was addressed as part of the same project. The full scope was documented for the insurance claim with All State. No further roofing work is scheduled at this time.
Guidance for property owners in Anna and North Texas
After any hail event, it’s worth checking more than just the shingles. Gutters, downspouts, window screens, and any outbuildings on the property can all take impact damage that’s easy to miss until it causes a bigger problem later. If you suspect hail damage, get it documented promptly, especially if you plan to file an insurance claim, since impact marks can become harder to distinguish from normal wear over time.

“Quick repair at a much better rate than I was quoted by another company. Also did not try to sell me a whole new roof when I only needed repairs.”
