Roofing contractor in Mansfield, TX

It sits on the hail track

Storms that come off the southwest run the I-20 and 287 corridors, and Mansfield sits where they cross. Hail events here are not rare, and when one lands it lands on whole phases of similarly aged roofs at once.

The same advice applies as anywhere else in the Metroplex: note the date, photograph the ground-level damage, and have somebody look while the storm is still recent. The difference in Mansfield is that a lot of those roofs are at exactly the age where a storm decides whether they get another decade or get replaced.

Steep pitch changes the job

A roof above roughly 7/12 cannot be walked freely. It needs roof jacks, planks and harnesses, which slows the work and adds to the cost, and it makes a do-it-yourself look at the damage a genuinely bad idea.

It also means a second day is more likely than on a single-story ranch of the same square footage. A steep, cut-up Mansfield roof with a lot of valleys is simply more work than the number of squares suggests.

Fences, sheds and everything else the storm took

The larger lots on the newer developments come with more to damage: fence runs, sheds, patio covers and outbuildings, all of which hail hits and all of which are commonly left off a scope because nobody walked to the back of the property. We repair fences that have been torn down, back sheds with hail hits, gutters, windows and the water damage inside, so it goes on the same claim as the roof.
