MCKINNEY, COLLIN COUNTY, TX: Hail Damage: Roof Replacement and Insurance Claim Assistance

This week in McKinney we replaced a hail damaged residential roof.  The roof had composition shingles over wood shakes.  We removed both layers of roof shingles.  We then made carpentry repairs to various rafters & purlins.  Once the structural integrity of the roof frame had been secured we installed the new decking substrate.  Our client opted for a radiant barrier decking in order to optimize the energy efficiency of the new roof system.  Once the new decking substrate was secured we applied the 30# felt underlayment.  The shingle that we then installed was a lifetime rated dimensional composition shingle.  We ventilated the attic spaces with a continuous ridge vent system since the structure profile included several long ridges.  Upon the roof installation completion we cleaned the project perimeter & rolled a magnet throughout the grounds of the property to collect all of the fallen nails etc..  We then filed the necessary insurance claim paperwork on behalf of our client to recover the depreciation as well as a repair supplement.  The client was very happy with the finished roof installation result & is looking forward to  discounted energy expenses.
