Bridgeport's recent hail
NOAA's Storm Events Database recorded 2.75-inch hail at the Bridgeport airport on May 17, 2025, and hail up to 2.75 inches around the airport and Runaway Bay on April 25, 2026, the same day an EF-2 tornado hit the Runaway Bay area. Wise County logged 40 reports of golf-ball-size or larger hail between 2016 and mid-2026. If your roof hasn't been looked at since those storms, it's worth a free inspection.
What to do after a storm
- Stay safe. Stay off the roof, and don't go near downed lines.
- Stop the water. Call (817) 733-9228. We answer 24/7 and can tarp or make temporary repairs.
- Photograph what you can from the ground: hail by a ruler, dented gutters, damaged siding.
- Get an inspection before you file, so you know whether there's real damage.
- Call your insurer if we find damage that's worth a claim. Their deadlines are in your policy.
What our inspection covers
- Shingle bruising, fractures and granule loss, checked with test squares on each slope
- Metal panel dents and damage to seams, trim and fasteners
- Soft metals like vents, gutters and downspouts, which help date and size the hail
- Flashings, skylights and penetrations
- Attic and decking where there are signs of a leak
Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see. If we don't find storm damage, we'll tell you so and not push a claim.
Working with your adjuster
We meet your adjuster on the roof and walk them through what we documented. Texas law requires you to pay your insurance deductible, and a contractor may not waive, absorb or rebate it. We never will. We also aren't public adjusters: we document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and build our scope from what we actually find.
Replacement: build it back better
If the roof has to be replaced, it's the right time to upgrade:
Standing seam
26 gauge, formed in-house, with hidden fasteners.
Standing seam in Bridgeport →Class 4 shingles
The highest UL 2218 impact class, and it may qualify for an insurance credit.
Class 4 →Stone-coated steel
Shake or tile look over a steel base.
Stone-coated →Texas insurers must offer a premium credit for roofs rated under UL 2218, but each company sets its own amount, and Class 4 usually earns the most. We can't promise a discount. After a qualifying install, we fill out TDI Form PC068 for you. See Texas impact-resistant roof discounts.
Specialty and high-end replacements
Storms don't just hit simple roofs. We replace steep, complex and specialty roofs as well: designer and slate-look shingles, synthetic shake, and standing seam accents. See our slate-look re-roof northeast of Bridgeport.
