Hail Damage Repair in Dumas, TX

Why Dumas Properties Need Expert Hail Damage Repair

Dumas, named after its founder Louis Dumas (1856-1923), is the county seat of Moore County with a 2020 population of 14,501. Located approximately 49 miles north of Amarillo at 3,688 feet elevation on the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, Dumas has established itself as one of Texas's most important cattle feeding centers and agricultural hubs.

Moore County ranks 7th in Texas and top 15 nationally for beef production, with approximately 180,000 cattle in ranches and feedlots throughout the county. This massive agricultural operation, combined with significant natural gas production and helium extraction (Moore County produces two-thirds of the nation's helium), creates a unique economic landscape that demands specialized roofing expertise for both residential and commercial agricultural facilities.

Dumas experiences a mild climate with an average annual temperature of 60°F, but faces extreme weather variations—from 24°F to 92°F—with hot, clear summers and very cold, snowy, windy winters. The city receives about 20 inches of rainfall and 10 inches of snow annually. The high elevation and open plains location make Dumas particularly vulnerable to severe thunderstorms that develop across the Great Plains, often producing damaging hail as they intensify over the unobstructed terrain.

The economic impact of hail damage in Dumas extends far beyond individual property damage. When severe storms damage agricultural facilities—including cattle feeding operations that house thousands of animals, grain storage facilities, and feed processing plants—the ripple effects impact the entire regional economy. A single severe hailstorm can cause $5-10 million in property damage across Moore County, affecting not just roofing but also agricultural equipment, vehicles, and livestock facilities.

Our team understands that protecting Dumas means safeguarding critical infrastructure that supports one of America's most productive beef production regions.

The northern Panhandle experiences some of Texas's most severe weather, with Moore County facing 8-12 significant hail events annually. The flat, open terrain allows supercell thunderstorms to develop and intensify as they move across the region, often producing their largest hail as they approach communities like Dumas. This geographic positioning, combined with the absence of significant terrain features to disrupt storm development, creates what meteorologists call a "hail highway" through the region.
