Roofing Contractor in Lewisville, TX Built for North Texas Hail

Not always. Hail damage on an asphalt shingle roof shows up as bruising, which is a soft spot where the hail stone knocked the granules loose and fractured the mat underneath. A roof can look fine from the driveway and still be functionally destroyed, and it can also look battered and still have years left. The only way to know is to get on the roof and test it. Our inspection is free, it comes with photographs, and if your roof does not need replacing we will tell you so in writing.

If the damage came from a covered peril such as wind or hail, and the claim is filed inside your policy's reporting window, most Texas policies cover it subject to your wind and hail deductible. Two things decide the outcome: whether your policy pays replacement cost value or actual cash value, and how well the damage is documented for the adjuster. We meet your adjuster on the roof with our own photographs and measurements so the scope of loss reflects what is actually up there.

Most single-family homes in Lewisville, Flower Mound and Castle Hills are torn off and reroofed in one day. Larger homes, steep or complex rooflines, and roofs that turn up decking rot once the old shingles come off can run into a second day. We do not leave a roof open overnight, so if a job is going to run long we dry it in before the crew leaves.

Mostly GAF architectural asphalt shingles, because they balance cost, wind rating and hail performance for this climate. We also install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which are rated under UL 2218 to survive a two-inch steel ball dropped from twenty feet without cracking, plus standing seam metal, metal shingle, and TPO and modified bitumen for low-slope and commercial roofs.

In this part of Texas it very often is. The Texas Department of Insurance notes that insurers may offer premium discounts for impact-resistant roofing rated under UL 2218, and Denton County takes enough hail that the reduced likelihood of a claim matters on its own. Ask your agent what discount your specific carrier gives before you decide, because it varies a lot between companies.

Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level, which is exactly why you should ask. Our contractors carry general liability and workers compensation coverage, and we provide the certificates before work starts. We also pull permits where the City of Lewisville requires them. If a roofer cannot hand you proof of insurance on request, do not let them on your roof.

The honest answer is that it depends on roof area, pitch, the number of penetrations and valleys, how many layers have to come off, whether the decking is sound, and which shingle line you choose. A simple gable roof on a 1,800 square foot Corinth home and a steep cut-up roof on a Highland Village custom home are not the same job. We give you a written, itemized quote after the inspection so you can see exactly what drives the number.

No. Inspections and estimates are free, with no obligation and no sales pressure. You get photographs of what we found, an explanation of what it means, and a written recommendation. If the right answer is to do nothing for another three years, that is what the report will say.
