Roof Insurance Supplement Help in Texas
Texas roofing contractors face some of the highest volumes of hail and wind claims in the country. Unfortunately, carriers frequently underpay on initial Xactimate estimates, leaving thousands of dollars on the table for legitimate code requirements and manufacturer specifications.
Why Texas estimates come in low
Carriers operating in Texas often rely on outdated pricing models or intentionally omit line items like starter strip, drip edge, and steep slope charges to control loss ratios. Adjusters frequently write "repair" estimates when a full replacement is warranted by Texas building codes and manufacturer installation instructions.
Common claim types in Texas
Texas is the undisputed hail capital of the United States. The vast majority of roofing claims in the DFW metroplex, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are driven by severe spring hail storms and straight-line winds.
Top missed items in Texas
- ✓Starter course shingles (RFG 220) — often bundled into field shingle pricing by adjusters but required by GAF and Owens Corning.
- ✓Drip edge (RFG 175) — mandated by IRC R905.2.8.5 but frequently omitted on initial estimates.
- ✓Class 4 Impact Resistant upgrades (RFG IR CLASS4) — required by ordinance in several North Texas municipalities.
- ✓Overhead and Profit (OHO) — routinely denied by carriers even when general contractors are coordinating multiple trades.
