Perhaps you have found yourself in the following predicament: The siding on your home was recently damaged due to a tornado which produced pea sized hail. The contractor who replaced the siding also inspected the roof and recommended a complete replacement. There are no leaks inside your home nor have you noticed any damage to the roof from ground level. Is it really necessary to replace the entire roof?
Here are a few suggestions to consider when deciding whether to replace your roof from our experienced team of Texas certified Public Adjusters at messtx.com:
Wind and hail resistant roofing products are available which can save up to 30% on your homeowners insurance policy. CALL TODAY: 855-445-3404 RELATED LINKS: www.messtx.com © 2019 MESSTX.com Texas has recently experienced an inordinate amount of destructive storms across the state producing hail sizes of all kinds. One resident reported that hail pelted through the roof decking and ceiling of his home, damaging inside kitchen appliances. Several hours later, the hail still measured three inches!
Hail storms of this magnitude require experienced, professional, and licensed insurance adjusters who can adequately determine the loss and compensation per the insurance policy.

The following is a letter that was sent to the Texas Governor, Texas State Senate, and Texas State House in support of this cause and petition:
Texas does not currently license roofers, general contractors, restoration companies, insurance appraisers or umpires. Right now, a criminal who lives outside of the US with no experience can technically operate in any of these roles. Skills and trustworthiness should not be optional. Deceptive advertising, fake licensing and aggressive sales tactics should not be permitted. We are in favor of...
Enforcement of unscrupulous general contractors needs the support of licensing and an oversight of a state agency. In 2014, the Texas Department of Insurance Fraud Unit received approximately 13,341 fraud reports, highest number in the unit's history. Far too many unsuspecting consumers misplace trust with unscrupulous roofers and general contractors that can lead to theft, poor workmanship, insurance fraud, and unnecessary litigation. Fraud, barratry, and unnecessary litigation is costing Texans not only in high insurance premiums but also reduced coverage. The citizens of Texas as well as the legitimate general contractors and roofers whose businesses are based in Texas support licensing. Help us protect the Texas consumer, home and businesses owners.

Until there is a leak, most property owners do not realize that their roof has been damaged by a storm. If your roof is over ten years old, the chances are very likely that it has undergone some weather related damages. Below are a few tips from MESSTX.com to help you determine if your roof has undergone some damages due to severe weather:
• Regularly examine the roof so that you can recognize when the condition has changed following a severe storm. This will enable you to prove and accurately document the damage when it happens and will also prevent a more costly leak. • Take photographs of the condition of the roof in its normal wear state and after damage has occurred. This will prevent any debate concerning whether or not the roof was damaged due to severe weather. If an insurance claim is warranted, the photos will provide proof in support of your claim. • Identify the damage. The three major signs of hail damage include bruising, cracking, and granules missing from the asphalt. If the rain gutters were clean before the storm and are filled with mineral granules afterward, there is strong evidence of roof wear and damage due to the hail. Wind alone can also damage a roof.

CALL TODAY: 855-445-3404 RELATED LINKS: www.messtx.com © 2019 MESSTX.com If you live in an area where storms and thunderstorms are likely to occur, the first thing to suffer is your roof. Whether there is a strong wind, hailstorm or even heavy rainfall, the roofing system in your house is likely to endure damages. In such a case, turning to your insurance company may seem like a valid idea.
But before reaching out to your insurance company, it is important to assess the damages caused by wind and hail. Learn more about the signs of these damages below: 1. Shingles in the Patio One of the most common signs of roof damages caused by wind or hail is the appearance of shingles in the patio. Due to pressure from the strong winds, the sides of the shingles are lifted and torn away. As a result, these torn shingles fly and settle down on the patio. How to Detect This Problem? Match the piece of the shingle with your roof. If there is a missing piece on your roof, then the roof of your home is damaged. 2. Granules, Pebbles or Debris Around the Drain Do you see a number of pebbles or granules near the drain? Then this is a sign of damage caused by wind and hailstorms. As the strong winds collide against the roof, granules are dislodged. Since the gutters are adjacent to the roofing, these granules or pebbles often fall in near or around them. How to Detect This Problem? Walk around the gutter. If you see pebbles, granules or shingles, then there is definitely a problem. 3. Dark Spots Another common sign that indicates roof damage includes dark spotting. As discussed above, granules are displaced due to high-pressure winds. As a result, the missing granule or pebbles leave a dark spot behind, indicating a roof system damage. How to Detect This Problem? Observe the roof after a hailstorm. Obvious dark spots around the edges are a sign of wind or hail damage. Once you have assessed and recorded the damages caused by the wind or hailstorm through pictures, you might think of contacting your insurance company for a claim. However, in several situations, they are unlikely to accept or agree with your assessments. This is when you need to contact a Public Adjuster. Who Is a Public Adjuster? A Public Adjuster (PA) is an authorized professional who represents homeowners in cases where insurance companies refuse their settlement. By assessing the roof damages and making agreements with the insurance company, the PA will help you achieve your insurance claim settlement. Why Should You Hire a Public Adjuster? There are several reasons why you should hire a public adjuster, especially when dealing with roof damages. Some of these reasons include:
