The roofs on a Wise County church campus
- Sanctuary: steep shingle or standing seam, sometimes tile; valleys, wall flashing and steeple bases are the usual leak points. We install impact-rated shingles and standing seam in 24 or 26 gauge.
- Fellowship hall and classrooms: often a flat or low-slope addition built later, with its own membrane and drainage. See TPO and mod bit.
- Gym, pavilion or storage: a metal building with exposed fasteners that need re-screwing, or new PBR formed on our own roll formers.
- Parsonage: a house roof we handle too, including gutters and siding.

Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database, Wise County, TX. NOAA lists 76 reports of 1.75-inch or larger hail in Wise County since January 2005. A report shows where hail was seen, not whether a given roof was damaged.
After a storm we inspect every building on the campus, document each roof separately, and can walk the roof with your adjuster. We document the damage with photos and measurements and can be on the roof when your adjuster inspects. We don't adjust or negotiate claims; you work the claim with your insurance company. Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, and we never waive or rebate it.
How we help a church decide
- Inspection of every building, with drone photos of steep and hard-to-reach areas and a thermal scan on flat sections. Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see.
- A ranked list: what needs attention now, what to budget for, and what is fine
- Options priced side by side: repair, restore or replace, roof by roof
- A walk-through with your building committee, trustees or facilities volunteer
Around the church calendar
Tear-off noise stays away from worship, funerals and weddings, and we work around weekday programs and daycare. Entries and walkways are protected and the grounds are cleaned daily. The City of Decatur's fee schedule (Ordinance 2025-09-33, effective November 1, 2025) lists a separate re-roofing permit for multifamily and non-residential buildings, so plan for it in the schedule.
