Insurance Claims
Will my homeowners insurance cover a new roof?
In many cases, yes—if your roof has been damaged by hail or wind. Coverage depends on your policy type (RCV vs ACV), deductible, and any exclusions. We inspect your roof and help determine if you have a valid claim before you file.
Do I have to pay my deductible in Texas?
Yes. Texas law requires homeowners to pay their deductible on insurance claims. Any contractor offering to waive or absorb it is violating state law and could put you at risk, as well as likely taking shortcuts to offset their discount.
What is the difference between RCV and ACV coverage?
RCV (Replacement Cost Value) covers the full cost to replace your roof (minus deductible), while ACV (Actual Cash Value) deducts depreciation. ACV policies often result in higher out-of-pocket costs.
What if my insurance claim is denied?
A denial isn’t always the final answer. We can review your inspection, provide documentation, and help you understand whether a reinspection or additional information could change the outcome.
Will you meet with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We meet adjusters on-site to ensure all storm damage is properly identified and documented.
How long does the insurance process take?
Most claims take 2–6 weeks from inspection to approval, depending on your carrier and responsiveness. The full project timeline varies based on material availability and scheduling.
Can you help with supplements?
Yes. If additional damage is found during the project, we submit supplements to the insurance company to ensure all necessary work is covered.
Pricing & Payments
How much does a new roof cost in North Texas?
Most residential roofs in North Texas range from $10,000 to $35,000+, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Storm-related claims are typically covered by insurance except for your deductible.

Can I finance my deductible?
In many cases, yes— depending on the financing program. We can walk you through your options.
Do you require a deposit?
For insurance jobs, we typically collect funds in stages based on insurance payments. For retail projects, a deposit may be required before materials are ordered.
Roofing Materials & Options
What is the difference between Class 3 and Class 4 shingles?
Both Class 3 and Class 4 shingles can qualify for insurance discounts due to their impact resistance. Class 4 shingles carry the highest rating and provide greater durability, making them a popular choice in hail-prone areas like North Texas.
Are Class 4 shingles worth it?
In North Texas, many homeowners find Class 4 shingles worth the investment due to increased durability and potential insurance premium savings.
What brands do you install?
We install high-quality materials including GAF, Malarkey, and premium options like metal roofing systems.
What is the best roofing material for Texas?
It depends on your goals. Asphalt shingles are the most common and cost-effective, while Class 4 shingles and metal roofs offer increased durability and longevity.
Do you offer metal roofing?
Yes. We offer metal roofing options, including premium systems designed to withstand severe weather and provide long-term performance.
Roofing Process
What is your roofing process?
Our process includes inspection, documentation, insurance coordination (if applicable), material selection, scheduling, installation, and final walkthrough.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs are completed in 1–2 days, depending on size and complexity.
Will my home be protected during the project?
Yes. We take precautions to protect your landscaping, property, and surrounding areas throughout the project.
Do I need to be home during installation?
No, but we recommend being available by phone in case questions arise.
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
Signs include missing shingles, hail damage, leaks, granule loss, or your roof being over 10–15 years old in North Texas conditions.
Storm Damage
What does hail damage look like on a roof?
Hail damage often appears as bruising, granule loss, or soft spots on shingles. It’s not always visible from the ground, which is why professional inspections are important.
Can my roof be damaged even if it looks fine from the ground?
Yes. Many types of storm damage are only visible upon close inspection.
How soon should I get my roof inspected after a storm?
As soon as possible. Early inspections help document damage and strengthen your insurance claim.
Is there a deadline to file an insurance claim?
Yes. Most policies have time limits, often within 6–12 months of the storm date. It’s best to act quickly.
