Get a written quoteThe good news about production roofing is that the decking is generally sound, so replacements price predictably. Boom-era roofs look fine from the street and fail inspections anyway; granule loss and cracked pipe boots are the usual findings. A Class 4 impact-rated shingle is the baseline here, not an upgrade — most carriers discount for it and some are starting to require it on replacements.
On cost: no cost to inspect; the roofer's incentive is a fully scoped claim, and yours is a new roof for the price of your deductible — both align when the damage is real.
Your carrier has a set period to acknowledge, investigate, and pay a claim under the Texas Prompt Payment of Claims Act, and a contractor who documents damage well makes that clock work in your favor.
How it works
Under a replacement cost policy, no — the recoverable depreciation is only paid when the work is done. Under an ACV policy, you get the depreciated value and can do what you want, but it won't buy a new roof.
Test squares: a 10x10 foot area on each slope is chalked and hail strikes are counted. Most carriers use a threshold (often 8+ per square) to approve a slope. Your roofer should do the same count before the adjuster arrives.
Your carrier has a set period to acknowledge, investigate, and pay a claim under the Texas Prompt Payment of Claims Act, and a contractor who documents damage well makes that clock work in your favor. Helotes is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
