Get a written quoteThree-tab shingle from this era is past its life; the replacement will almost certainly be architectural, which earns better treatment at renewal. Most construction here dates from the '80s and '90s, so roofs are on their second cycle and carriers increasingly want to see a replacement date. Roof surface payment schedules and ACV roof endorsements are showing up on renewals across Central Texas; read the declarations page before assuming a claim will fund a new roof.
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.
Roofers cannot legally pay or waive your deductible in Texas — a 'free roof' pitch is a fraud red flag, not a deal.
How it works
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.
Texas policies typically allow filing within a year or two of the event, but the sooner the better — weathering makes old hail damage harder to distinguish from wear.
