insurance covered roof
 
I got a tag on my door, from the roofers that are replacing a roof down the street, that implied I could get a new roof if there was any damage noted on mine. My roof is 18 years old.
 
How many folks have actually successfully gotten that deal from one of these roofers?

I would hold out to see if they throw in a free timeshare....

Please call brandon with STX roofing, if it is possible, he will get it done. 8329172122. If there is hail damage or wind damage, they will help you through the entire process.

@cousindan : This area has been hit with several hail storms. Roofing companies have a program which can pin point which storm damaged your roof. I have had roofs replaced on 5 rental properties in the last 2 years. However, it's worth noting I do carry (Full replacement cost) insurance. Your mileage may be different.

I've been in the industry for years, and can confirm we've had a few recent storms that have caused hail damage to certain areas in 77346.
 
Go with a reputable roofer to perform a legit inspection before filing a claim. Those that 'door knock' usually are chasing business whether or not you have actual damage. Reputable roofers don't have to do that. Period.
 
Some local roofing contractors that are very well respected:
 
Mac's Roofing
Punum Roofing
Rick's Roofing and Restoration

Good luck, roofs are expensive and use local if possible. I got a new roof about 10 years ago! What a headache.

man, I have my DW up in arms saying we need a new roof...
 
One of those door-to-door roof guys came over to offer a "free inspection". The first thing he asked was "who is your insurance company?" I told my wife not to speak to the guy, but been a woman that's useless... she won't listen to reason and thinks the insurance is going to just lay over and give us a brand new roof at $0 cost to us. Thank you, door-to-door roofing company guy... ****** ******!
 
So, if I need a roof, I would call a roofing company after seeking referrals and doing my homework. I don't buy anything door-to-door, even elementary school fundraisers.

I still have damage to my roof from when a tree landed on it during Hurricane Harvey, but the repair estimate is only a few thousand, about the same as the insurance deductible. Apparently they wouldn't replace the entire roof just for damage on one side.

Ins co's are getting killed on roof claims, especially around Houston, all over Texas actually. Look to see (you already may have one) rood exclusions for age, if it's 15/20 yrs it's excluded, or putting ACV valuations on them vs RC.

I've been in Atascocita over 30 years and don't recall a lot of hail storms. When was the last one?

@Reese :
April I believe. We've had several, some good windstorms too that will do some roof damage.
