Overview
A hail event that appears to have caused only cosmetic damage to an AC shroud or skylight dome often involves more extensive damage beneath the surface. Hail that fractures a skylight dome or shatters an AC housing can also breach the roof membrane at impact points that are not obvious without a close inspection. Membrane punctures and cracks at penetration seals — even small ones — allow water entry that produces interior damage long after the storm has passed.
Boss Bull technicians inspect the full roof surface following a hail event, not just the components with obvious visible damage. AC shroud condition, skylight dome integrity, vent cover damage, satellite dish mounting, rooftop antenna condition, and the roof membrane field are all reviewed during a post-hail service visit.
Documentation produced during the service visit — photographs of damaged components in the as-found condition, written findings, and a repair scope — supports the owner's insurance claim submission. We document before any repair or replacement is performed so the full pre-repair condition is on record.
Repair work following a hail event typically involves a combination of component replacements, roof membrane repair, and penetration resealing. In cases where the membrane has sustained widespread impact damage, a full roof membrane replacement or Crazy Seal roof coating application may be the most cost-effective path to a watertight roof.
Full roof surface documented following a hail event. Impact marks across the membrane field and satellite dome deformation are photographed from above before any cover or temporary repair is applied.
A roof inspection after a hail event covers the entire surface — not just the components with obvious visible damage from the ground. Membrane impact points are typically only visible from directly above.
Common Problems We Fix
- Cracked or shattered AC shroud housing
- Skylight dome cracked or fractured
- Vent covers cracked or knocked loose
- Dented or damaged satellite dish
- Dimpling or pitting across the roof membrane field
- J-wrap or sidewall trim showing impact marks
- Water intrusion inside the RV following a hail event
- AC unit running but not cooling after storm
Skylight dome and adjacent rooftop components documented in as-found condition following a hail event. Fracture lines through the dome crown allow water entry during subsequent rain events.
A cracked skylight dome that appears to be holding its shape in dry conditions will allow water entry the first time rain runs across it. Dome replacement is typically confirmed on site after the crack pattern is documented.
Common Findings During RV Hail Damage Repair Service Calls
Hail damage to an RV roof system is rarely limited to the component that first catches the owner's attention. The following conditions are frequently documented during post-hail service visits across Central Texas.
- AC shroud housings fractured at multiple impact points — the internal coil, fan assembly, and wiring are exposed to weather at each fracture until the shroud is replaced
- Roof membrane pitting and punctures across the field — impact marks that are not visible from the ground but allow water entry at the surface layer
- Skylight dome fractures that allow water to enter the ceiling cavity during the next rain event, regardless of whether the dome is still in place
- Vent covers cracked through or completely displaced — the exposed vent flange and surrounding membrane perimeter are vulnerable to standing water pooling
- Satellite dome deformation and mounting hardware damage — antenna cables can pull taut following dome displacement and stress the roof penetration around the cable entry point
- Pre-existing membrane condition that a hail event has accelerated — aged sealant, thinning membrane, and prior repair points that the hail event has pushed from manageable to actively leaking
- Sidewall and J-wrap impact marks found in the same event that caused roof damage — hail large enough to damage rooftop components at this angle frequently reaches vertical surfaces as well
Technician Observations
What Owners Commonly Report
Presenting complaints we hear most often on these service calls.
- Hail hit the RV and I can see obvious damage to the AC shroud and skylights
- Water is coming in somewhere after the storm and I am not sure where it is entering
- The AC runs but is not cooling the way it did before the storm
- I need documentation of the damage before I file an insurance claim
- My roof looks fine from the ground but I want a technician to get up there and check
What We Frequently Find
Actual conditions we document when we arrive on site.
- AC shroud housings shattered or caved in at multiple impact points — fracture lines that extend beyond the visible surface damage and reach the internal fan blade and coil assembly
- Skylight domes cracked through or spiderwebbed at the crown — damage that allows water entry the first time it rains after the event, even when the dome appears to be holding its shape
- Roof membrane punctures and impact pitting in the field that are not visible from the ground — small entry points that allow moisture to wick under the membrane and reach the decking
- Vent covers shattered or missing entirely, leaving the vent flange and surrounding membrane exposed to standing water during subsequent rain events
- Sidewall J-wrap and trim channel deformation from large hail — cosmetic in appearance but capable of compromising the seal between the sidewall panel and the roof edge
- Secondary water damage already beginning in the ceiling cavity or around ceiling assembly drip pans — evidence that membrane entry points were created during the hail event and water has already moved
Service Recommendations
What we typically advise based on our findings.
- Schedule a service visit before any temporary tarps or cover materials are placed over the roof — post-hail photographs with the damage in as-found condition are the most useful for claim documentation
- Do not run the AC unit at high demand following a hail event until the shroud condition has been confirmed — a fractured shroud exposes the coil, motor, and wiring to rain and debris
- Note the date and approximate time of the hail event and check your area weather records for hail size data — adjuster-grade documentation benefits from confirmed hail size at the event location
- Allow the technician to review the full roof surface and not just the components with obvious visual damage — membrane impact points are frequently found away from the most visually damaged areas

Repair Documentation
Hail Damage Assessment
Damaged rooftop air conditioner shroud documented during the initial service assessment following a Central Texas hail event. Multiple fracture lines across the housing and displaced sections were photographed to support the repair estimate and insurance documentation.
A shattered shroud exposes the condenser coil and fan assembly to rain and debris. Internal components are assessed for secondary damage before the replacement housing is installed.
Roof Component Replacement
Replacement rooftop air conditioner installed and tested on site after the damaged unit was removed. The on-site hoist system allows the full unit to be replaced at the owner's location without requiring a shop drop-off. System operation was verified before returning the RV to service.
When a hail event has damaged the shroud and internal coil assembly beyond repair, full unit replacement is completed on site using the same hoist setup used for non-hail AC replacements.
More From This Service
Sidewall J-wrap impact damage documented during the same service visit as roof hail damage. Hail large enough to fracture rooftop components frequently also reaches vertical surfaces on the same RV.
J-wrap and sidewall trim deformation from hail is primarily cosmetic but can compress the seal between the sidewall panel and roof edge. The seal condition along the affected trim run is reviewed during the documentation visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Customers Say
“Our camper AC went out and we called Rich on a Saturday, thinking no way we were going to get someone out on the weekend. But Rich came out that afternoon, took a look at the unit and came up with a solution.”
“He went into great detail telling me what was wrong (even showed me) and what would need to be done. He is very responsive, respectful and efficient!”
“Prices are fair. They communicate well. They show up on time. They do what they say they will do. I will never use someone else.”
