Hail is a common occurrence in North Texas, damaging thousands of shingle roofs across the DFW metroplex every year. This particular home in Waxahachie, TX is located on a spacious lot in a semi-rural development.
When our hail damage specialist Luke Troyer inspected the roof of this home, he found indications of hail damage.
After the homeowner successfully filed the claim with his insurance company, we scheduled his home for a new metal roof installation.
Typically in these cases, the insurance will pay the amount that it would cost to replace the damaged shingles with new shingles. Since metal does cost more, this homeowner paid $5000 to upgrade his roof to a lifetime metal roof.
We installed the Panel-Loc Plus system on this home. It’s an attractive, durable, and cost effective panel, perfect for most of our customers. The homeowner selected Burnished Slate, one of our most popular colors.
The first step was to install lath over the existing shingles. This provides a solid anchor point for the screws that fasten the metal panels to the roof. We installed all the correct trims along the edges of the roof, including these decorative corners.
Installing metal panels on a complex roof is challenging, but our team did a great job of making this roof both waterproof and aesthetically pleasing.
While the main reason to upgrade to a metal roof is typically because of their impressive durability, you have to admit this home looks really sharp too!
