A repair makes sense when the roof system is healthy and one part failed. It stops making sense when the same roof keeps generating new problems. We tell Denton homeowners which side of that line they are on and show the photos that back it up. The inspection behind that call is free, and the repair estimate is written. For storm repairs going through insurance, we never waive deductibles (Texas law prohibits it), and we do not act as a public adjuster.
Repair or Replace: The Denton Housing Picture
Where a Denton roof falls on that line often tracks the age of the house. Housing here splits three ways: 27 percent built before 1980, 48 percent from 1980 to 2009, and 25 percent in 2010 or later, with a median of 1997. A newer roof with one damaged area is usually a straightforward repair. An older roof that keeps producing leaks is a different conversation, and we would rather have it honestly.
Hail adds to the tally. Since 2006, 46 hail days with stones an inch or larger have hit within 9 miles of Denton, 19 of them at golf-ball size or more, and the largest stone measured 4.25 inches on March 26, 2017. Repeated damage on the same roof is one of the clearest signs that repair is no longer the right fix. Our repair crews also handle homes in Krum and Corinth.
