Materials
Roofing Materials Common in Texas
Texas climate — extreme heat, hail, hurricane-force winds, and intense UV — puts specific demands on roofing materials. Understanding your options helps you make the right call after storm damage.
Asphalt Shingles
Pros: Most common in Texas. Low upfront cost, easy to replace, widely available. 3-tab shingles last 15–20 years; architectural shingles 25–30 years.
Watch for: More vulnerable to hail and UV degradation than metal. Check if your policy covers like-for-like or if they'll upgrade after a storm.
Metal Roofing
Pros: Standing seam and metal panels are increasingly popular in Texas. Highly hail-resistant, rated for 140+ mph winds, reflects heat, 40–70 year lifespan.
Watch for: Higher upfront cost ($12–$25/sq ft installed). May qualify for insurance discounts. Some insurers require separate endorsement for full RCV on metal.
TPO / Flat Roofing
Pros: Common on low-slope roofs and additions. TPO membranes are UV-resistant and energy-efficient. Common in commercial and some Texas ranch-style homes.
Watch for: Requires professional installation to avoid seam failures. Inspect annually for blistering or ponding water, especially after hail.
Tile & Concrete
Pros: Clay and concrete tile are common in South Texas and San Antonio. Excellent longevity (50+ years), fire-resistant, handles heat well.
Watch for: Heavy — requires engineered roof deck support. Hail can crack individual tiles. Replacement tiles can be hard to match on older roofs.
TDLR Roofing Contractor Licensing in Texas
As of September 2019, Texas requires residential roofing contractors to be licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). This law — Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1304 — was specifically created to protect homeowners from unqualified contractors flooding Texas after major storms.
A licensed roofer must carry general liability insurance and pass background checks. You can verify any contractor's TDLR license number at tdlr.texas.gov before signing any contract.

Insurance
How a Roofing Insurance Claim Works in Texas
Texas homeowners have specific rights under state law. The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) sets timelines your insurer must follow.
Document Before You Clean Up
Take photos and video of all damage from every angle before removing debris or making temporary repairs. Date-stamp your photos. Courts and adjusters rely on this documentation if a claim is disputed.
File Your Claim Promptly
Texas law gives your insurer 15 days to acknowledge your claim and 15 additional business days to accept or reject it. Filing delays can give your insurer grounds to deny. File as soon as damage is confirmed.
Get a Licensed Roofer's Assessment First
Before your adjuster arrives, have a TDLR-licensed contractor inspect and document damage. Their scope can support your claim — adjusters sometimes miss items that a roofing professional will catch.
Understand ACV vs RCV in Your Policy
Actual Cash Value (ACV) policies pay depreciated value. Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies pay to replace. On a 15-year-old roof, the difference can be thousands of dollars. Know which coverage you have before accepting a settlement.
Review the Adjuster's Scope of Work
Your insurer's estimate (scope) lists exactly what they will pay for. Review it with your contractor. If items are missing or pricing is too low, your contractor can submit a supplement — this is a normal part of the claims process.
Do Not Sign Over Your Rights (AOB)
Assignment of Benefits transfers your insurance claim rights to the contractor. This has led to fraud and inflated costs in Texas. Never sign an AOB — you can still hire any contractor you choose without giving up your rights.
