Roofing in Allen, TX After Hail and Wind

These are storms logged in NOAA's Storm Events Database, the federal record built from National Weather Service reports:

• May 19, 2023

  A 2.5-inch hailstone was measured near Greenville Avenue and Exchange Parkway, with 2-inch hail near Greenville Avenue and Bethany Drive. NOAA's summary says the preliminary damage estimates put the Collin County hail event in the Billion-Dollar Weather Disaster category.

• October 20, 2019

  An EF-0 tornado touched down in west Allen near Exchange Parkway and Ridgeview Drive and tracked roughly along Ridgeview Drive, pulling shingles off a number of homes before crossing US-75.

• March 4, 2025

  Thunderstorm winds blew much of the roof off one home and a chimney off another along Hedgcoxe Road between Iola Drive and Freeland Drive.

• March 25, 2025

  Golf ball-size hail was reported in east Allen.

• April 11, 2016

  2-inch hail was reported near the Allen event center, during the same supercell that hit Wylie.

Hail rarely lands evenly, so a neighbor's roof tells you little about yours.

Damage you can't see from the driveway still counts. Hail bruises can crack the shingle mat under the surface long before a leak shows up inside, and wind can break the seal strip on a shingle without tearing it off. On a free inspection we check:

• Shingles for hail bruising, fractured mats, and granule loss
• Ridge caps and hips, which take the most direct hits
• Soft metals like roof vents, gutters, and downspouts, where dents help show hail size
• Pipe boots, flashing, and skylights
• Shingles that are creased, lifted, or unsealed from wind
• The attic, when we can get to it, for daylight, stains, or damp decking

You get photos and a written summary.

Ready to get started? Schedule a storm damage roof inspection.

You stay in charge of your claim. Here's how it goes:

1. 1

   Inspection. We inspect the roof and tell you plainly whether we see storm damage. If we don't, we'll tell you that.

2. 2

   Documentation. We give you the photos and written notes so you have something concrete when you call your insurer.

3. 3

   You file. You report the claim to your insurance company. Check your policy for its reporting deadline.

4. 4

   Adjuster visit. We can meet your adjuster on site and walk the roof together, pointing out what we documented. Your insurer makes the coverage decision.

5. 5

   The work. If the roof is approved for repair or replacement, we pull the permit, schedule the work, and clean up afterward.

Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, and it's illegal for a contractor to waive, rebate, or absorb it. If a roofer offers to "take care of" your deductible, walk away. Learn more about how roof insurance claims work.

• Permit through the CSS portal. The City of Allen takes all permit applications through its Citizen Self-Service (CSS) portal, and the city tells homeowners to make sure their contractor has a permit before work starts.

• Final Roof Installation Affidavit. A Final Roof Installation Affidavit has to be on file before the city will approve the roof final inspection. On that form the contractor lists their City of Allen contractor registration number and swears that the attic was checked after installation and that appliance vents are intact and venting outside.

• HOA approval is separate. If your neighborhood has an HOA with architectural review, that approval is separate from the city permit.

• Impact-resistant shingles. If you want impact-resistant shingles, Texas Property Code §202.011 generally stops an HOA from banning shingles designed to resist wind and hail, as long as they look like the shingles allowed in your subdivision and are of equal or better quality.
