Multifamily roofs in Dallas multiply everything: dozens of units under one membrane, residents in place, and after hail, an insurance claim with many stakeholders.
Multifamily roofing in Dallas runs on communication: resident notices, parking and access management, phased sections that keep buildings protected mid-project, and documentation that serves boards, managers, and carriers. DFW hail makes multifamily storm response a discipline of its own, and we keep it documented, legal, and orderly.
Every property gets a free assessment, photo-documented findings, and a written estimate a board can review. Deductibles are never waived under Texas law, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
What Dallas Apartment Owners Should Know About Hail
Hail here is a yearly event. Within 13 miles of Dallas, hail one inch or larger fell in 20 of the last 20 years and on 77 days since 2006, with 25 days of golf-ball-size stones or bigger. The high mark is 4.25 inches on May 24, 2011. On a complex with many buildings, damage is rarely even, so we inspect and photograph each building separately.
Age matters for apartments too. With 48 percent of Dallas housing built before 1980 and only 14 percent built in 2010 or later, many communities carry older decks and layered re-roof history that must be understood before a replacement is scoped. Our crews work across Dallas County, including communities in Cockrell Hill and University Park.

Common questions: apartment / multifamily roofing in Dallas
How do you handle residents during a Dallas apartment reroof?
Notices ahead of each phase, protected access routes, parking coordination, and work hours that respect the community. The logistics are half the job.
Who manages the insurance claim on an HOA roof?
The association and its carrier. We document damage, provide estimates, and meet adjusters. We are not public adjusters; we support the process with evidence.
Do you handle buildings in central Dallas with access constraints?
Yes. Staging, crane windows, and access logistics are part of urban commercial work, and the phasing plan accounts for them explicitly rather than discovering them on day one.
