I don't trust do-to-door guys. The hail didn't seem that bad.

How big was the hail and how old is the roof ?

Quarter size. 2012, so 7 yrs.

Did it damage any vehicles on your street?

Yeah- I'm doing a bathroom remodel (which is taking more than a week) so the garage is full of junk. Both our cars got enough dings where the wife wants it fixed.

Thanks for the input

Where are you located K_P?

I can meet you at your place for a free inspection if you want to know. I can also check out HailWatch with your address. At any rate, you want a qualified, credentialed, and insured roofer to check it out first and give honest feedback. It's free, I don't make anyone sign anything.

Feel free to give me a call if you want to set something up. 281-803-9545 ( I'm with Infinity Roofing)

I don't blame you..

My general rule of thumb on roofers is they

• Have to have a local phone number
• Have to have a local address
• Have to have paperwork that shows both of the above

Some neighbors were taken for several thousand dollars by "fly by night roofers" years ago after a hail storm.

The local guy I used did the inspection and marked off an area and counted the hits so when he met my insurance adjuster it went smoothly.

Bookmarked your company since y'all have a local Austin office.... I take it by your area code you're in Houston?

Thanks. My in-laws had a door to-door guy get up there and mess up their roof and the the insurance said the damage was caused by the roofer not the storm. Almost too absurd to be made up

I would appreciate it. I live in Spring Branch near the Beltway and Kempwood. If you run 10511 Timberoak Dr. that will be close enough without posting my actual address.

I will give you a call tomorrow!

Had a door to door guy claim he was local. He told me he had kids in school so I asked what school they went to and he could answer. Caught him in a lie.

Sounds good. Let me check it out! Talk to you tomorrow!

Awesome. Definitely bookmark us.

Yes, I am in Houston. I live locally. I have worked in San Antonio as well for the recent hail storm since I have family there. The good thing is that I can still help you in Austin and make sure you get in touch with a great project manager. We have a ton of awesome people and staff to make things go smoothly and quickly address issues if any pop up.

Sadly, the story you tell is not uncommon. Every storm. I've seen damage made by crooks doing roof "inspections" after Harvey. A decent adjuster will know.

Called and missed you. Sent a text to that number with my details and availability. Let me know if it you don't get the text.

Got it.

I'm a little late to the party, but I just left you a voicemail. Located in Spring Branch.

Would you be able to do a check for a house in Plano...we had some the past month and did not seem excessive but now see 2 yard signs of homes getting new roofs....

Maybe this line of thinking isn't right, but my first call would be to my insurance. They're the ones that are ultimately going to have the say on whether or not you'll actually get any money towards a new roof.

Have them assess it then get with a roofer.

Honestly, I would have both the insurance adjuster and the roofer there at the same time. They will balance each other.

I would have brazos dog there first. He talked through my situation with me, recommended not replacing the roof. Talked to my neighbor, and recommended she should get a new roof / file a claim.

I definitely recommend him.

Thank you. Thanks to everyone that let me check out their roof! I love meeting new people from here in person! Sorry I didn't get back to this thread! As for Plano, let me look into that.

You aren't completely incorrect, but I always recommend calling your roofing professional first. The adjuster is not a roofing professional. Let your pro give you an actual accounting of damage and opinion on overall condition first. That way, you are in the loop and informed. As you said, The carrier does make the final call. However, having an informed homeowner and professional there to meet an adjuster has a tremendous effect on the outcome of that decision.

Brazos - you headed to Spring Branch again any time soon? hoping to have someone give mine a look as well.

Yep. Happy to help.

My Email is in my profile. I'll be back in Houston next week. This past week I was in SA with their recent hail Situation getting them fixed up.

Are you still doing roofing? That number went somewhere else. Needed some help getting a small leak around a plumbing vent fixed.

K_P…I have someone that can get that fixed. Please give me a ring.
