June 2026 DFW Storm Damage Checklist: What to Inspect After Late-Spring Hail

Why June Storms Catch DFW Homeowners Off Guard

Most homeowners think hail season ends in May. In reality, North Texas sees some of its most damaging supercells in the first three weeks of June — when warm Gulf moisture collides with the last cool fronts of the season. The hail is often larger, the wind gusts higher, and the damage harder to spot from the ground.

The 10-Point Post-Storm Homeowner Checklist

Walk the perimeter of your home within 48 hours of any storm. Check for:

  • **Dented gutters, downspouts, and gutter screens** — the first place hail leaves a fingerprint
  • **Soft metal damage** — mailbox, AC condenser fins, garage door panels, attic vents
  • **Granules in the gutters or at the bottom of downspouts**
  • **Cracked or shattered skylights and ridge vents**
  • **Window screens with circular tears**
  • **Splatter marks on the deck, fence, or painted siding**
  • **Missing or lifted shingles along ridges and rakes**
  • 8. Bruised shingles — soft spots that feel spongy underfoot

    9. Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys

    10. Interior ceiling stains in the days after the storm

    What Not To Do

  • Do not climb on the roof yourself — wet shingles are slick and you can void coverage by causing secondary damage
  • Do not file an insurance claim before a licensed contractor confirms damage exceeds your deductible
  • Do not sign anything a door-knocker hands you within hours of the storm
