Most commonly missed
Impact bruising
A soft, dark spot where the stone crushed the mat under the surface. It is found by hand, not by eye — and it shortens the roof's life by years while looking like nothing at all.

Get my instant estimateHow it works
Three steps, and you're never obligated to any of them.
No high-pressure sales visit, no fee, no commitment. You end up with documentation of your roof's condition whether you replace it or not.
STEP 01
Tell us about your roof
ZIP code and a few quick questions — about a minute. We use this to match you with a contractor who actually works your neighborhood.
STEP 02
A local roofer inspects it
They walk the roof, check the shingles, flashing, vents and gutters, and photograph anything they find. You get the full report — usually within 48 hours.
STEP 03
You decide what to do
A written estimate and clear answers. If there's storm damage, you'll have the photo documentation you need to file a claim — on your own timeline.
Whatever you decide, all of this is yours to keep:
- A dated photo report of every damaged slope, vent and flashing point
- An itemized written estimate — materials, labor and timeline, line by line
- A straight answer on whether this is a repair, a replacement, or nothing at all
- Shingle and color options if you decide to move forward
What we commit to
Six things we will not do to you.
Everybody says "professional" and "hassle-free". Here is what that actually means in writing, so you can hold us to it.
01
You will never get a bill from us
Not for the inspection, not for the report, not for the estimate. The
roofing contractor pays us. There is no version of this where a homeowner owes
us money.
02
One conversation, not five
You do not ring around six companies and compare who sounded most
confident. We match you to the contractor who works your ZIP code and has the
certificates on file.
03
Didn't click with them? Tell us.
If the contractor we sent is not right — pushy, late, or just not somebody
you want on your roof — say so and we will match you with a different one. You
are not stuck with our first choice.
04
You keep the report either way
Dated photographs of every slope and an itemised written estimate, yours
whether you hire anyone or nobody. If the roof turns out to be fine, you get a
record saying so.
05
Your details go to one contractor
Not to four, not to a marketing list, not to whoever pays most this week.
You will not spend the next month fielding calls from companies you never
contacted.
06
No pressure, and no chasing
One call to arrange the inspection. If you decide not to go ahead, that is
the end of it — we are not going to ring you every fortnight for a year.
Every contractor in the network signs up to this. Licensing and insurance certificates on file before they receive a single request, a written estimate and photo report given free every time, and no offer to cover your deductible — which is illegal in Texas and the clearest sign of a company you should not let on your roof.
What hail damage looks like
Four things a roofer looks for that you can't see from your driveway.
This is the part most homeowners get wrong. A hail-damaged roof rarely looks damaged. Here is what actually gets found up there.
Easiest to check yourself
Granule loss
The coloured grit is the shingle's sunscreen. Once it's knocked off, the asphalt underneath bakes. If you find coarse black sand at your downspout, that grit came off your roof.
Leaks start here
Cracked & lifted shingles
Wind breaks the seal strip and hail splits brittle shingles. Once a tab lifts, every rainstorm drives water under the course above it and into the decking.
Proof for the carrier
Dented gutters & metal
Soft metal records the storm. Dents in gutters, downspouts, window screens or A/C fins tell an adjuster the stone was big enough to matter — which supports what's on the roof.
What you can check from the ground
- Dark bruised spots or bare patches where shingle granules are gone
- Granules — like coarse black sand — collecting in gutters or at the downspout
- Dents in gutters, downspouts, window screens, or A/C condenser fins
- Cracked, curling, lifted, or missing shingles
- Water stains on ceilings, or daylight and damp decking visible in the attic
- The roof is 15 years or older — Texas heat is hard on asphalt shingles
- Neighbors on your street are getting new roofs — the same storm hit your house
Not sure any of this applies to you?
That is the normal case, and it is exactly why the inspection is free. About thirty minutes, no cost, no obligation.
If the roof turns out to be fine, you get a dated report saying so — worth having the next time somebody knocks on your door claiming your street was hit.
Book my free inspectionBefore & after
What a hail-damaged roof looks like, and what replaces it.
Drag the handle. Left is a roof at the end of its life — bruised, shedding granules, tabs torn off, gutter dented. Right is the same slope after replacement.
Storm damaged
Replaced
These are illustrations, not photographs.
They show exactly what an inspector finds and what a finished replacement looks like — drawn rather than staged, because we won't put stock photos of somebody else's crew on our own site.
Real before-and-after photographs from North Texas jobs go here as they come off completed roofs.
Get my roof inspectedWhat's up there
A roof is five layers. A cheap job skips three of them.
When you compare two estimates, this is what you are comparing. Ask any contractor which of these they are replacing and which they are leaving in place — the answer tells you most of what you need to know.
1
Roof deckingThe plywood or OSB sheathing nailed to the rafters. Rotten decking has to be replaced before anything goes over it.
2
UnderlaymentA synthetic moisture barrier over the whole deck, plus ice-and-water shield in the valleys and along the eaves.
3
Drip edge & starterMetal edging that pushes water into the gutter, and a sealed starter course so wind can't get under the first row.
4
Architectural shinglesThe laminated layer you actually see — thicker than three-tab and far better under hail impact.
5
Ridge cap & ventsCapping along the peak and the ventilation that lets your attic breathe. Skipping ventilation cooks a roof from underneath.
Layer four, up close
The colors North Texas actually uses
Your contractor brings physical samples to the estimate — shingle reads differently in Texas sun than it does on a screen. See all 52 colours on a roof →
Weathered WoodThe default across most DFW subdivisions
CharcoalReads crisp against light brick
BarkwoodWarmer brown, popular on red brick
DriftwoodLighter, reflects a little more heat
Pewter GrayNeutral, safest with an HOA palette
HickoryDeep brown with a red undertone
Paying for it
Insurance covers most of it. Financing covers the rest.
In North Texas the large majority of roof replacements go through a homeowners insurance claim, and the homeowner pays their deductible. When a roof is failing from age rather than a storm, insurance won't cover it — and that's where financing comes in.
- Options with no money down, so work can start before you pay anything
- Fixed monthly payments over a set term — no balloon at the end
- Applications answered quickly, usually the same day
- Your contractor walks through the exact terms at the estimate — before you commit
Typical hail claim
Your deductible is usually all a homeowner pays when a hail claim is approved. Everything above it is the carrier's side.
- Free inspection and written estimate
- Photo documentation for your file
- Financing if it isn't a claim
Coverage, deductibles and claim deadlines are set by your policy and your carrier. Nothing here is a guarantee of coverage.

Who you're calling
We're in Garland. That's not a mailbox — it's where we work from.
After every North Texas storm season, crews from out of state show up, knock every door in the older neighborhoods, sign what they can and leave. We started this because homeowners here deserve a straight answer about their roof from someone who will still be reachable in four years when a warranty question comes up.
Every contractor we send out is licensed, insured, and local. The inspection is free and the report is yours to keep, whether you hire anybody or not.
Licensed & insured
General liability and workers' compensation on file for every crew.
Free inspection
Photo report and written estimate at no cost, with no obligation.
Local to Garland
A real North Texas address, not an out-of-state storm crew.
Workmanship warranty
The term is stated in writing on every estimate.
Service area
Working out of Garland, across the northeast metroplex.

Questions
The things homeowners actually ask us.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes — free, and with no obligation to hire anyone. We're paid by the roofing contractor, not by you. There is no scenario in which a homeowner receives a bill from us.
Who is going to call me?
A licensed, insured roofing contractor in our North Texas network — usually within 15 minutes during business hours. We share your details only with the contractor we match you to, and we do not sell your information to marketing lists.
Can I finance a new roof?
Yes. Most contractors in our network offer financing on replacements, including options with no money down and fixed monthly payments. Your contractor will walk through the exact terms at the estimate, before you commit to anything.
Will filing a claim raise my insurance rates?
Hail is a weather event, not a fault claim, so a single hail claim is treated differently than an at-fault one. That said, carriers do reprice at renewal and may decline to renew after repeated claims. We won't pretend to know your carrier's policy — ask your agent before you file. The inspection costs you nothing either way.
My roof looks completely fine. Is this worth it?
That's the usual starting point. Hail bruising on an architectural shingle is frequently invisible from the ground and often invisible from a ladder — it's found by walking the roof and checking by hand. The damage keeps working underneath until a leak appears, and by then the claim window may have closed.
The storm was months ago. Am I too late?
Probably not. Texas homeowners policies generally allow a filing window measured from the date of the storm, not the date you noticed. Deadlines vary by carrier and policy, so check yours — but a spring hail event is very often still claimable later in the year.
How is this different from the person who knocked on my door?
After a storm, out-of-state crews flood the metroplex, sign as many contracts as they can, and leave. The contractors in our network are North Texas companies with a local address, a real license, and workers' comp — the kind you can still reach in three years when a warranty question comes up.
