Why a Frisco Roofing Contractor Says Stop Immediately!

 

Don't Fix Your Damaged Roof?

Why in the world would a Frisco roofing contractor tell you not to replace your damaged roof? Texas year after year leads the United States in the number of damaging hailstorms we have. On February 22 of this year, we had a major hailstorm that affected roughly 150,000 homes in the Dallas, TX region. A good portion of these homes being in the Frisco area.

The next morning there were hundreds of trucks in Frisco, TX that were either responding to appointments or going door to door. A good portion of these were trusted Frisco roofing contractors and another good portion were people that drove in early that morning from neighboring states or cities to try and drum up business. 

Hail Season Early

This storm that was towards end of February wasn’t even in the peak hail season in Frisco, TX. Generally, Frisco, TX sees most hailstorms from March to May. A very large amount of these homes in Frisco filed claims within a day or two and many of these homes even had their roofs replaced in the next few weeks.

Frisco Roofing Contractor - What to Do?

We had several appointments following this storm with a large amount referred from local insurance agents. Several of the homes had blown off shingles or possible leak issues from the storm. We repaired several small things for the homeowners with all of it being minor enough for no charge needed for the homeowner.

We recommend to all the homeowners that they put off their roof replacement until June because the risk of hail events that will be to come more than likely. Obviously, there will be circumstance where you couldn’t wait for the Frisco roofing contractor to replace your roof from the hail event, such as selling your home.

Big Storms

Three weeks later a smaller hailstorm on Mar 14 hit the Dallas, TX region affecting roughly 65,000 homes. This storm wasn’t as bad as the previous storm but part of it hit Frisco, TX and hitting some of the same homes that were replaced the previous week or two. 

A week after the second storm on Mar 21 there was another storm that affected roughly 120,000 homes in the Dallas, TX area. Although this storm didn’t really hit the same area as the other two it still had all the potential to. 

These two pictures from hailpoint.com are from the February 22 storm and the March 14 storm. Although not as severe as the first one they both hit same parts of Frisco. 

More to Come

Tomorrow night we have another spring storm that has risk of hail, high winds, and tornados. I encourage any homeowners that have a Frisco home that is hit by a major storm to have it inspected immediately but don’t replace your roof until June.

You don’t want to have to pay two separate deductibles in the same year and must go through the hassle of getting your roof replaced twice. Majority of the Frisco roofing contractors will get your roof in good shape to last until the storm season passes.

Why The Pressure?

The roofing contractors that come from out of state or out of town want to sell and replace as many roofs as possible in a short window and then go chase the next storm. The problem is they will not be around to help you if you have any issues in the future. Texas doesn’t have a state license for roofing contractors that is required. This makes it easy for someone to set up shop quick and leave town just as quick.
