About Stonewall County, TX
Stonewall County lies in West Texas at the base of the Caprock in the Rolling Plains, thinly populated ranch country. Hail peaks in early summer, when the dryline draws Gulf moisture against dry western air and lifts it into severe storms over the broken terrain. Its nearest radar, Dyess AFB's KDYX, sits about 73 miles to the southeast, far enough that its lowest scans pass well above the ground and favor storm tops.

Is Stonewall County's hail big enough to damage a roof?
It can be. Asphalt shingles can begin showing functional damage in the ¾-to-1-inch range, and Stonewall County's confirmed hail reaches 1.3″. At these sizes damage is often hard to see from the ground, so whether it's a claimable loss depends on shingle type, age, and an inspection.

Yes, 1 confirmed hail event so far in 2026, most recently April 14, 2026.
How much does hail roof damage cost to repair?
It ranges widely. Minor repairs can run a few hundred dollars, while a full roof replacement on an average home often runs $8,000–$20,000+ depending on size, pitch, and material. What you actually pay depends on your deductible and whether your policy is replacement-cost or actual-cash-value.

What this means for your home
Damage can be invisible from the ground
At Stonewall County's typical sizes, hail often bruises shingles and loosens granules without obvious holes, shortening roof life in ways that are easy to miss until the next storm or an inspection.
Document before you repair
If you suspect hail damage, photograph it and note the storm's date before making any repairs. Undocumented or already-fixed damage is much harder to claim later.
Claims have deadlines
Policies set a deadline for hail-damage claims, and state law may also apply. Windows range from months to several years depending on your state and policy. Knowing the exact date hail hit your address helps you file on time.
Get more than one estimate
After a damaging storm, reputable local roofers get busy and out-of-town crews flood in. Get multiple written estimates and verify licensing and local references before signing anything.
Replacement cost vs. actual cash value
An RCV policy pays to replace your roof at today's prices; an ACV policy subtracts depreciation for the roof's age, which can mean a much smaller check on an older roof. Knowing which you carry shapes what a hail claim is actually worth.
Keep a 'before' record
Photos of your roof and exterior in good condition make new hail damage much easier to prove later. A few shots now, before the next storm, can save an argument with an adjuster over what's old wear and what's storm damage.
