Get a written quoteHOA architectural rules from this era are strict on color and profile; get the approved product list before collecting quotes. Builder-grade ridge vents and starter strips are the early failure points on these roofs, and often it's a repair rather than a replacement. This is the heart of the I-35 hail corridor, where golf-ball hail arrives most springs and bruises roofs that were fine the year before.
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.
