Roofing in Princeton, specifically
The Princeton roofing picture has its own character, and it shapes how we work here. Much of Princeton’s housing stock is new enough that its original builder-grade roofs are only now meeting their first serious hail cycles. First storms on builder-spec shingles are where a lot of Collin County owners discover what was actually installed over their heads. The local conversations that follow are predictable and worth having early: what the builder’s workmanship coverage does and doesn’t survive, whether the first insurance claim is the moment to upgrade to Class 4 impact-rated shingles (usually yes, since the premium discount math works hardest here), and how HOA architectural standards shape material choices in newer communities.
Our crews work Princeton alongside Plano, Frisco and McKinney, so scheduling draws on the whole nearby footprint rather than a single route.

Hail near Princeton
Reported hail is less frequent around Princeton: NOAA lists 11 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 5 miles. Fewer reports can also reflect fewer storm spotters in smaller communities, so a quiet record is not a guarantee. Hail that size was reported in 9 of the last 20 years. The largest stones on record nearby measured 2.75 inches (baseball size) on May 28, 2024. The most recent report: 1.25-inch hail on March 25, 2025.
May 28, 2024: 2.75-inch hail (baseball size)

How old Princeton homes are
Princeton is young by roofing standards: the median home was built in 2014, and 66% of its 8,130 housing units date to 2010 or later. Many of those homes still have the roof the builder installed, now working through its first hail seasons.

Yes, the full Princeton footprint plus the surrounding communities. Our service area covers the DFW metroplex; if you can see it from a Princeton rooftop, we probably work there.
Who issues roofing permits in Princeton?
Roofing permits in Princeton run through the Princeton building department. Where a permit is required, we pull it and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
Do you handle both residential and commercial?
Yes, both, as separate disciplines with separate crews and processes. Residential runs from asphalt to premium systems; commercial covers membranes, coatings, and metal.
Our Princeton home is only a few years old. Do we really need an inspection?
After any hail event, yes. Builder-grade shingles take damage new homes' owners rarely expect, and documenting condition early protects both your claim rights and your builder-warranty conversations.
How often does hail hit Princeton?
