What Hail Does to a Roof
Hail knocks granules loose, cracks the shingle mat and dents vents, flashing and gutters, often on slopes you can't see from the ground. Around 9:06 p.m. on March 25, 2025, NWS Fort Worth received a report of 2-inch hail two miles southeast of Allen, and the City of Allen posted hail tips for residents the following day.
Wind leaves marks too. Just after midnight on October 21, 2019, an EF0 tornado (80 mph peak) crossed west Allen near Exchange Parkway and Ridgeview Drive, tearing shingles off homes, per the NWS survey. On April 10, 2008, an EF1 tornado ran from southwest Allen into southern McKinney, TX, where numerous homes had roof damage.
Neighbors have been hit too. NWS logged 2-inch hail 3 miles northwest of McKinney on April 3, 2014, and the April 11, 2016 hailstorm in Wylie, TX affected 80% of that city's homes, with over $300 million in damage.
Where Storm Roof Replacement Fits
- Dings on soft metal. Dents in gutters, downspouts, vent caps or the A/C unit after a storm suggest the shingles took hits as well.
- Grit piling up. A heavy layer of granules in the gutters or at downspout outlets can mean hail stripped the shingles' protective surface.
- Missing or creased shingles. Strong gusts lift tabs and break the seal strip, and a creased shingle may never lie flat again.
- A fresh ceiling stain. A new water mark after a storm deserves a prompt look, before the decking or insulation soaks through.
The Cost of Storm Roof Replacement
A storm-damaged roof costs about the same per square foot as any other re-roof. What changes is who covers which part: your policy may pay toward the work, but the deductible stays with you.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Texas re-roof, average | about $8,634 (range $6,777–$20,531) | This Old House, 2026 (a cost model) |
| Allen re-roof, 2,700 sq ft home | $11,500–$24,000 | RoofVista, 2026 (impact-resistant shingles) |
| Allen architectural shingles, per sq ft | $4.24–$6.36 | RoofVista, 2026 |
| Allen Class 4 shingles, per sq ft | $5.40–$8.64 | RoofVista, 2026 |
| Allen metal, per sq ft | $8.40–$14.70 | RoofVista, 2026 |
What to Expect
- Keep belongings dry. Move valuables away from drips. The City of Allen advised residents to check with their insurance company before making permanent repairs.
- Ask for an inspection. Phone (469) 555-0197 or fill in the request form; one independent roofer then reaches out.
- The roofer looks and records. Expect photos, measurements and a written, itemized estimate.
- You decide on a claim. You call your insurer, file if it makes sense and meet the adjuster the insurer sends.
- Contract, permit, then work. After you sign a written contract, the roofer pulls the City of Allen permit and books the job.
What Sets This Apart
Big hail tends to bring unfamiliar contractors knocking on doors. This site doesn't canvass or send anyone to your street. You reach out when you're ready and hear from one independent roofer whose address and city registration you can check. Roofers pay us for the referral; you pay us nothing.
- An offer to cover your deductible. That's illegal for a Texas contractor. Report it to the Attorney General's Consumer Protection hotline at 800-621-0508.
- Pressure to sign today. Never sign an incomplete contract, and don't hand over the full price before the work is done.
- No local address. Ask where the business is based, and ask for proof of City of Allen registration and insurance.
Filing a Roof Claim
The claim belongs to you and your insurance company. A roofer's part is the roof: inspecting it, recording what the storm did and pricing the fix in writing. You report the damage, meet the insurer's adjuster and agree on the settlement. If you want someone to negotiate on your behalf, only a licensed public adjuster may do that, never the roofer doing the work.
Two Texas rules shape the paperwork. The deductible is yours to pay, and a contractor that advertises or offers to waive it commits a Class B misdemeanor. Any contract worth $1,000 or more that you expect insurance to pay toward must also carry the state's deductible notice in bold, so look for it before you sign.
Quick Answers
How soon after a storm should I have the roof checked?
Soon, since a small break can let water in with the next rain. Your policy explains how and when to report damage, so read it or call your insurer. Meanwhile, take photos from the ground, keep receipts for any emergency tarping and stay off the roof yourself.
Can the roofer negotiate with my adjuster?
No. Texas law bars a roofer from acting as a public adjuster on a job it is doing or might do. The roofer can hand you its photos, measurements and itemized estimate, and you decide what to pass along to your insurer. A paid advocate would have to be a separate public adjuster.
My claim was denied. Can I cancel the roofing contract?
Texas gives no special right to cancel a roofing contract because a claim was denied, so read any contract tied to an insurance payout before signing. You can ask your insurer to explain its decision in writing, and the Texas Department of Insurance takes questions at 800-252-3439.
Will impact-resistant shingles help next time?
They may. Under TDI guidance, a Class 4 covering that passed UL 2218 sits in the top credit tier, while every insurer picks its own amount, so it varies. Your roofer files TDI form PC068 once the install is done. An HOA generally can't ban hail-resistant shingles that match the neighborhood's approved look and quality.
