Hail affects commercial membranes differently than shingles: fractures and punctures invisible from a distance shorten system life and complicate warranties if left undocumented. After hail hits Allen, a documented assessment protects both the asset and the claim window.
STORM TRIAGE
What do you need help with right now?
Pick the door that matches your situation. It routes you to the right person on the team, and every path starts with a free, documented look at the roof.
Texas law requires homeowners to pay their insurance deductible.
Cedar Crest does not waive or absorb deductibles. If anyone offers to, walk away.
It puts your claim at risk and may be illegal. We document damage, provide estimates,
and meet your adjuster on-site to answer construction questions. We are not a public
adjuster and do not interpret your policy or negotiate claim value.
Hail damage on a commercial roof is a documentation problem before it becomes a construction problem. On Allen properties we photograph and measure the impacts, put the scope into a free written estimate, and meet your adjuster on-site to answer the construction questions. We are not public adjusters, so we do not interpret your policy or negotiate claim value, and we never waive a deductible, a practice Texas law prohibits. The file we build is one your property manager and your insurer can both read.
Hail Exposure for Allen Commercial Roofs
Since 2006, hail an inch or larger has fallen within 6 miles of Allen on 27 separate days, and 12 of those days brought golf-ball stones or bigger. The largest measured 4.5 inches on March 24, 2019. For a flat or low-slope building, that record matters because membrane bruising, cracked coatings, and dented rooftop equipment rarely show from the parking lot, and a claim filed long after the storm is harder to support. Hail of that size showed up in 13 of the last 20 years, so we treat a post-storm inspection as routine upkeep rather than a special event.
Allen’s surrounding development is fairly young, with a median housing year built of 2003 and only 7 percent of homes dating before 1980, so many Collin County owners here are working through a hail claim on a roof that has no earlier claim history. The same crews work Plano and Fairview after a storm.

How old Allen homes are

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 commercial hail damage in Allen
My Allen building took hail. What first?
A documented assessment, promptly. Membrane hail damage is often invisible from the ground, and documentation while damage is fresh protects your claim rights.
Does hail damage void my roof warranty?
Storm damage is typically an insurance matter rather than a warranty one. Still, undocumented damage can complicate future warranty claims, which is another reason to document now.
Do you work with commercial adjusters?
We meet adjusters on-site, answer construction questions, and provide documented estimates. We do not interpret policies or negotiate claim value, since that is the legal line in Texas.
Will this work void our builder's warranty in Allen?
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.
