For homeowners: impact-rated shingles and Texas law
Texas Property Code §202.011 says a property owners' association can't prohibit or restrict an owner who is otherwise allowed to install shingles from installing shingles designed mainly to resist wind and hail, as long as, once installed, they resemble the shingles used or allowed in the subdivision, are more durable and of equal or better quality, and match the look of the surrounding properties. That is why we bring color boards and product sheets showing a Class 4 or Class 3+ shingle that matches what your community allows. Metal and other materials depend on your community's documents; we prepare the submittal either way. General information, not legal advice.
After a qualifying impact-rated install we fill out TDI Form PC068 for your insurer. Credits vary by company; see the Texas impact-resistant roof discount guide.
Approvals, start to finish
- We read your community's architectural guidelines for roof material and color
- We prepare the application with product data, color names and samples
- We submit it, or hand it to you to submit, and follow up until it's approved
- The roof goes on as approved, with photos for your file
For boards and managers
- Every roof inspected the same way, so the board compares like with like. Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see.
- Condition ranking by building or address: now, soon or fine
- Bids in one format, with options side by side for a volunteer board
- Phased schedules with resident notices, parking and trash days worked out with your manager
- Amenity buildings too: clubhouses, pool houses, pavilions and pergolas and mail kiosks
Denton permits
The City of Denton has required a roof permit for all residential roof and re-roof projects since June 1, 2022, issued before work starts, including tear-off, and pulled by a contractor registered with the city. The permit has to be posted where it's visible from the street, the inspection includes the attic, and a final inspection is scheduled when the work is done. Changing roof materials needs a plan review first. Condo and other commercial buildings follow the city's commercial roofing rules, which require a permit for any roof work.
Hail across the community
| Date | Where NOAA logged it | Hail size |
|---|---|---|
| April 11, 2016 | Near Denton | 4.00 in |
| June 11, 2023 | Near Bartonville, south of Denton | 3.50 in |
| June 11, 2023 | Near Smoots | 3.00 in |
| June 15, 2023 | Near Sanger, about 10 miles north | 5.90 in |
Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. NOAA lists 40 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Denton from 2016 through September 2026. A report shows where hail was seen, not whether a given roof was damaged.
After a storm, a community-wide inspection gives the board one consistent record instead of dozens of door-knock reports. 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. In Texas you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to file; check your policy.
