This is the Manor page for hail damage roof claim. The short version: you want to know if the hail actually damaged the roof and to get the claim approved if so, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteA 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. 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. Production crews roofed these subdivisions fast; nail placement, starter strip, and ridge vent installation are where they fail first.
What it costs in Manor: 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.
Texas hail claims typically follow a replacement-cost policy, but many carriers have moved to a roof surface payment schedule that depreciates by age — check your declarations page for 'RSPS' or 'ACV roof' language.
How it works
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.
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.

Manor is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
