Storm Damage Repair Services for Dallas Commercial Buildings
Dallas's position in the DFW hail corridor means that commercial building envelopes face significant periodic storm damage. The April 2024 and June 2023 events produced an estimated $7–10 billion in regional insured losses — and building envelope damage from those events is still being identified in the Dallas commercial inventory.
EIFS Hail Impact Repair
Probe and sound assessment to identify subsurface delamination behind visible or non-visible surface damage. Damaged basecoat and finish coat removal to foam board, mesh reinforcement repair or replacement, and new finish coat application matched to existing texture and color. Full EIFS section replacement where impact has compromised the insulation board. Critical for Dallas's 1980s–2000s office corridor along the Dallas North Tollway, US-75, and I-635.
Curtain Wall Post-Storm Assessment
Systematic curtain wall inspection for hail sealant displacement, spandrel panel impact, glass lite assessment, and aluminum frame damage. Many Dallas high-rise buildings received glass replacement after the 2023–2024 storms without comprehensive perimeter sealant evaluation — leaving active infiltration pathways from displaced joints. Written assessment documents the full scope of damage beyond what was addressed in glass replacement contracts.
Masonry & Concrete Facade Repair
Hail-displaced mortar joint repair and repointing for brick and masonry facades — common in Dallas's older West End, Deep Ellum, and Arts District commercial buildings. Precast concrete panel crack repair and sealant replacement where storm stress has opened panel joints. Parapet cap flashing and sealant repair where storm events have created water entry at the building's highest elevation.
Written Exterior Assessment
Systematic elevation-by-elevation documentation of storm damage — damage type, location, affected area quantities, and repair scope description — formatted for your insurance adjuster review. Photographs of each damage type and location included. Provided to you for submission with your carrier. We do not coordinate with adjusters on your behalf or participate in the claims process.

Dallas in the Hail Corridor: What Commercial Property Managers Need to Know
Dallas sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the United States. The April 2024 storm produced baseball-sized hail in parts of the DFW metro, and the June 2023 event was one of the most damaging hail storms in Texas history — combined, these two events produced an estimated $7–10 billion in regional insured losses. For Dallas's commercial building inventory, the damage impact on exterior envelopes is significant and extends well beyond what's captured by visible glass breakage.
EIFS-clad buildings along the Dallas North Tollway, US-75, and I-635 are particularly vulnerable because hail damage to EIFS is frequently invisible on the surface while creating active subsurface delamination that allows water infiltration behind the system. Many Dallas property managers received upper-envelope assessments after these storms but did not commission systematic exterior facade assessments — leaving potential EIFS, curtain wall, and masonry damage unidentified and compounding with subsequent weather events.
Griffin dispatches from Whitesboro — approximately 75 miles via I-35E or US-75 — to Dallas as a regular service market. Our 56' and 72' boom trucks provide access to upper building elevations for damage assessment and repair without scaffolding mobilization delays.
Why Dallas Property Teams Choose Griffin for Storm Damage
Commercial Storm Damage Repair FAQ — Dallas, TX
What storm damage repair services does Griffin provide for Dallas commercial buildings?
We repair the full range of exterior building envelope damage from hail, wind, and severe thunderstorm events: EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) hail impact repairs and full section replacement, curtain wall perimeter sealant assessment and replacement following hail displacement, masonry facade crack repair and repointing, precast and tilt-up concrete panel repair for impact and sealant damage, spandrel panel inspection and repair, and parapet and upper wall repair where storm exposure is highest. For Dallas commercial buildings, the April 2024 and June 2023 hail events — which produced an estimated $7–10 billion in regional insured losses — are the most significant recent damage events, and many buildings have not yet received a systematic exterior facade assessment.
How does hail specifically damage EIFS buildings, and how is it repaired?
EIFS is one of the most hail-vulnerable exterior cladding systems because its composite structure — a rigid foam insulation board covered by a fiberglass mesh-reinforced basecoat and a textured finish coat — can absorb hail impact energy in a way that creates hidden subsurface damage. A quarter-inch hailstone can leave no visible dent in the finish coat while fracturing the reinforcement mesh and delaminating the basecoat from the foam behind it. When this subsurface delamination is left unrepaired, water infiltrates the breach during rain events and migrates behind the EIFS system, ultimately reaching the sheathing and framing. Dallas has significant EIFS cladding on 1980s–2000s office buildings along the Dallas North Tollway, US-75, and I-635 corridors. We assess EIFS damage by probing and sounding the surface in addition to visual inspection.
Can Griffin provide written documentation for insurance adjuster review after storm damage?
Yes — we provide written exterior facade condition assessments that document the damage pattern, affected areas, and repair scope in a format suitable for insurance adjuster review. The assessment includes photographs of each damage type, affected area quantities, and a repair scope description that corresponds to the documented damage. We do not coordinate with adjusters on your behalf or participate in the claims process — the written assessment is provided to you, the property owner or manager, for submission with your carrier. For Dallas commercial properties, providing a thorough written exterior assessment is important because hail damage to EIFS, sealants, and curtain wall perimeters is often underrepresented in desk adjustments that focus on visible glass and metal panel damage.
How do you prioritize storm damage repairs on a Dallas commercial building?
Storm damage repairs are prioritized by water infiltration risk — active water entry points come first, regardless of where they are on the building elevation. Our assessment maps the building perimeter and identifies which damage locations have created or are likely to create active infiltration paths versus which are cosmetic surface damage only. For Dallas high-rise and mid-rise office buildings, active sealant failures and EIFS delamination on upper elevations are highest priority because upper floors typically concentrate the most expensive tenant improvements and the longest water travel path before damage becomes visible. Ground-level masonry and panel damage, while visible, typically presents lower immediate water risk for occupied commercial space above.
How long after the storm do Dallas commercial buildings typically have to address damage before it worsens?
The window for addressing storm damage without compounding costs is shorter than most property managers expect. For EIFS, a subsurface delamination that admits water during each rain event begins saturating the foam insulation board within weeks — and once saturation reaches the sheathing layer, mold colonization and framing deterioration can begin within 30–60 days in Dallas's climate. For curtain wall sealant displacement, each subsequent rain event after the storm infiltrates through the displaced joint. For parapet and upper wall damage where storm events removed or displaced cap flashing or sealant, the first heavy rain after the storm is already compounding the damage. We recommend scheduling a professional exterior assessment within 60 days of any significant hail event in the Dallas area.
