For homeowners: what Texas law says about impact-rated shingles
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 (or to improve heating and cooling efficiency, or generate solar power), 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.
In practice, that's why we bring color boards and product sheets that show an impact-rated shingle matching what the community already allows. Metal roofs are a different question; whether your deed restrictions allow them depends on your community's documents, and we put together the submittal either way. This is general information, not legal advice; your association's documents and its attorney have the final word.
Approval, start to finish
- We read your community's architectural guidelines for roof materials and colors
- We prepare the application with product data sheets, 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 of the finished work for your file
For boards and community 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: needs work now, budget soon, or fine
- Bids in one format with options side by side, so a volunteer board can read them
- Phased schedules with resident notices, parking and trash days worked out with your manager
- Maintenance packages based on the roof systems, age and condition, which give your reserve planning real roof data
Townhomes and condos with shared roofs
Attached buildings often combine steep shingle slopes with flat sections over breezeways and stairs. We roof both, and we flash shared walls and firewalls as part of the scope. See TPO and shingles.
After a Fort Worth hailstorm
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 45 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Fort Worth from 2016 through September 2026. The largest was 3-inch hail on March 16, 2023, and 2.75-inch hail fell near Hodge and Westland on April 25, 2026. One storm can hit every roof in a community. We document each building so the board sees the whole picture before it decides on a claim. 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.
