Before you call a roofer — or sign a contract — understand the basics: what materials hold up in Texas heat, when repair is smarter than replacement, how insurance claims actually work, and what separates a licensed GC from a storm-chaser.
North Texas presents a demanding combination: intense UV, temperature swings from 10°F to 110°F, and periodic hail. The most common roofing systems:
Repair when damage is isolated to less than 25–30% of the surface and the deck is sound. Replace when: shingles are past 20 years, granule loss is significant, or multiple leaks have developed in different areas. An inspection from a licensed contractor (not a storm-chaser) will give you an unbiased read.
After a significant hail or wind event, document damage with photos before any repairs and before the adjuster visit. A licensed contractor can walk the inspection with your adjuster and point out all damage systematically. Be cautious of contractors who offer to "waive your deductible" — this is insurance fraud in Texas.
