After hail or high wind hits Mansfield, the right order of operations protects both your roof and your insurance claim: document first, stop active leaks with proper tarping, get a written professional inspection, and only then make claim decisions.

After a storm, we document damage in Mansfield with photos and measurements, provide free written estimates, and meet your adjuster on-site to answer construction questions. We are not a public adjuster: we do not interpret your policy or negotiate claim value. Texas law draws that line and we respect it. We also never offer to waive deductibles; that practice is illegal in Texas. What we do is give you and your carrier an accurate picture of the roof, slope by slope, so the claim rests on evidence.
Mansfield’s Hail History, Year by Year
Hail is a regular event here, not a rare one. Hail an inch or larger has been reported within 6 miles of Mansfield on 21 days since 2006, spread over 13 different years in the past two decades. On 7 of those days the stones reached golf-ball size or bigger, and the largest measured 5.0 inches on June 12, 2023. Hail of that size can crack shingles, dent gutters and vents, and knock granules loose in patterns that are easy to photograph and hard to see from the yard.
Much of the city’s housing is new, with a median year built of 2004 and 29 percent built in 2010 or later, so a lot of Mansfield roofs are going through their first hail claim. Our storm crews also cover Arlington and Kennedale across Tarrant County.

We don't waive deductibles; nobody legally can. Texas law requires
homeowners to pay their insurance deductible (Tex. Ins. Code ch. 707). If a roofer offers
to "cover" or "absorb" yours, walk away. It puts your claim at risk and may be a felony
for the contractor.
We document damage, provide repair and replacement estimates, and meet your
adjuster on-site to answer construction questions. We are not a public adjuster
and do not interpret your insurance policy or negotiate claim value on your behalf.
Common questions about storm & hail damage in Mansfield
How do I know if my roof in Mansfield has hail damage?
Ground-level clues include dented gutters and vents, but the damage that matters (shingle bruising and granule displacement) needs an on-roof inspection. Ours are free and documented with photos.
Should I file an insurance claim after every storm in Mansfield?
No. File when documented damage justifies it. An inspection first protects you both ways: real damage gets properly documented, and a healthy roof avoids an unnecessary claim on your record.
A door-knocker offered to cover my deductible. Is that legit?
No. Texas law requires homeowners to pay their deductible, and contractors offering to waive or absorb it are breaking the law and putting your claim at risk. Walk away.
Will this work void our builder's warranty in Mansfield?
Properly documented work doesn't, and our written findings and scopes are built to keep your builder-warranty file intact. What actually endangers coverage is undocumented storm patching, which we don't do.
