This roof replacement in Anna, TX started when wind removed several shingles and our inspection confirmed hail damage. We tore the roof off completely and replaced it with new architectural shingles, synthetic underlayment, and ice and water shield. We also repaired the interior drywall where the leaks had come through. The homeowner noticed missing shingles first, then began seeing leaks inside. That combination is exactly why a roof inspection matters after any hail or wind event. It matters even when the damage looks minor from the ground.
What we found in Anna
When we arrived, the homeowner had already noticed the missing shingles. Water was also getting inside. Once we got on the roof, we found that the missing shingles were only part of the story. There was widespread hail damage across multiple slopes, along with several leak points that hadn’t yet shown themselves inside the home. This is a common pattern with hail: the visible wind damage prompts the call, but the inspection uncovers the bruising and cracked mat that a homeowner has no way to see from the driveway.
Rainy Day’s role
As a family-owned company working in North Texas since 1999, we handle both the roofing side and the interior damage from the same job. The homeowner contacted their insurance company once we documented what we found. From that first inspection through the completed rebuild, we worked as one company, including the drywall repairs the leaks had caused.
The roof replacement in Anna, step by step
We performed a full tear-off of the existing 3-tab shingles and inspected the deck underneath. Synthetic underlayment went down across the whole roof. Ice and water shield went into the valleys, where water concentrates during heavy rain. New architectural shingles rated for 130 mph wind resistance took the place of the original 3-tab shingles. The flashing and vents came off and went back new as part of the same scope. Inside, we repaired the drywall that the earlier leaks had damaged.
What the photos show
The photo set documents the roof at each stage. It shows the hail and wind damage found during inspection, the deck after tear-off, the underlayment and ice and water shield, the new shingles and flashing in place, and the interior drywall repair. Together they show the sequence from damage to documented, completed work.

Why roof damage is worth taking seriously
Missing shingles and hail bruising aren’t just cosmetic. Once shingles go missing or lose their protective layer, every rain that follows reaches the underlayment and the deck. Leaks often take time to show up. By the time a ceiling stain appears, water may have been reaching the attic and framing for weeks. Addressing wind and hail damage promptly, and documenting it properly, is what keeps a roof problem from becoming a larger interior repair.
Result and next step
We completed this roof replacement in Anna in a single day, and the new roof passed final inspection. We documented the work for the homeowner’s insurance company at every stage. With the tear-off, underlayment, ice and water shield, new architectural shingles, and flashing and vent replacement complete, along with the drywall repair inside, this home is set up with a fully documented, current roof system.
Guidance for property owners in Anna and North Texas
If you’ve had a wind or hail event and notice even a few missing shingles, don’t assume the damage stops there. Hail bruising can be invisible from ground level and from inside the house until a leak develops. Get a roof inspection soon after a storm and keep the documentation. That makes the insurance process smoother and helps you understand the real condition of your roof before small issues turn into interior repairs. The National Weather Service Fort Worth office publishes the storm reports that carriers reference, and our Anna hail history lists every 1-inch-plus hail report near Anna since 2021.

Frequently asked questions
How do you know hail caused the roof damage in this Anna home?
During the inspection, our team documented widespread hail damage across multiple roof slopes in addition to the wind-related shingle loss the homeowner had already noticed. Both hail and wind caused damage on this job, and we documented each one.
Why was drywall repair included with a roof replacement job?
The wind and hail damage caused leaks before we replaced the roof, and those leaks damaged interior drywall. Because Rainy Day handles both roofing and interior restoration, we completed the drywall repair as part of the same job.
How long did this roof replacement in Anna take?
We finished the full tear-off and replacement, including new underlayment, shingles, and flashing, in one day.
What shingles were used for the replacement?
We replaced the original 3-tab shingles with new architectural shingles rated for 130 mph wind resistance. Underneath them we installed synthetic underlayment, with ice and water shield in the valleys.
