# Does Hail Damage Window Glass in Dallas? What to Do ## Quick Answer Yes, hailstorms in Dallas, Texas, frequently cause significant damage to window glass, ranging from minor chips and cracks to complete shattering. The size and velocity of hailstones, common in DFW's severe weather, can compromise insulated glass units. It's crucial to inspect your windows after a storm and contact a local specialist like Apex Windows & Glass for professional assessment and repair. ## Understanding Hail Damage to Windows in the DFW Metroplex Dallas-Fort Worth is no stranger to severe weather, and hailstorms are a common occurrence that can wreak havoc on homes, especially windows. Hailstones, which can vary greatly in size, impact window glass with considerable force. While smaller hail might only cause superficial marks or minor chips, larger hailstones, often seen in North Texas, can lead to more serious issues like spiderweb cracks, shattered panes, or compromised insulated glass units (IGUs). When an IGU is damaged, the seal can break, allowing moisture to penetrate between the panes, leading to a foggy appearance. This not only diminishes your home's curb appeal but also reduces its energy efficiency. Apex Windows & Glass specializes in identifying and repairing all types of hail damage, ensuring your home in cities like McKinney, Frisco, or Plano is protected and energy-efficient. ## Steps to Take After a Hailstorm Damages Your Windows If your Dallas-area home has been hit by a hailstorm, prompt action is essential. First, safely inspect your windows from both inside and outside. Look for any visible cracks, chips, or signs of impact. Pay close attention to the integrity of the glass and the window frames. Even small cracks can expand over time, leading to larger problems and potential water leaks. If you notice any damage, it's important to document it with photos for insurance purposes. Next, contact a reputable local window repair specialist. Apex Windows & Glass offers expert assessments and can guide you through the repair or replacement process. We handle everything from insulated glass unit replacement to full window replacement, ensuring a seamless experience.
