FAQ: General Roofing Questions
How long does a roof last in North Texas?
Most roofs in our service area last 15–25 years depending on material quality and storm exposure. Hail and high winds can shorten that lifespan significantly.
What is the best roofing material for Texas weather?
Impact-resistant shingles (Class 3 or Class 4) and standing seam metal roofing offer the best protection against hail, wind, and extreme temperatures in Texas.
How do I know if I need a roof replacement or repairs?
You may need replacement if you see missing shingles, granule loss, leaks, exposed underlayment, or if your roof is 15+ years old. A free inspection can confirm whether repair or replacement is the better option.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are completed in one day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two to three days depending on size, pitch, and weather.

FAQ: Hail & Storm Damage
What should I do after a hailstorm hits my home?
Schedule a free roof inspection as soon as possible. Hail damage is not always visible from the ground and can impact insurance eligibility if it’s left unaddressed.
What does hail damage look like on a roof?
Common signs include bruised shingles, circular dents, granule loss, cracks, exposed fiberglass, dented vents, and damage to gutters or downspouts.
Can small hail cause roof damage?
Yes. Even ¾-inch hail can damage older shingles. Any hail 1 inch or larger typically warrants a professional inspection to check for storm damage.
How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after a storm?
Ideally within 48–72 hours. We can also pull a hail report for your exact address to confirm storm dates and severity.
FAQ: Insurance Claims
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Texas?
Yes. Hail, wind, and storm-related roof damage are typically covered under Texas homeowners insurance policies, subject to your deductible and policy terms.
How does the Texas deductible law (HB 2102) affect my roofing claim?
Texas law requires homeowners to pay their deductible out of pocket. It is illegal for any roofing company to waive, absorb, or rebate your deductible.
Will filing a roof insurance claim increase my premium?
Your individual claim does not automatically raise your personal rate. Insurance companies usually adjust premiums across entire areas after major storms, not based solely on a single homeowner’s claim.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
Call a roofer first. A professional inspection helps determine whether filing a claim is necessary and worth it before you contact your insurance carrier.
Can Lonestar Roofing and Restoration meet with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We meet with adjusters, document roof damage with photos and videos, and help ensure your claim is properly assessed and scoped.

FAQ: Roof Replacement
How much does a roof replacement cost?
Most insured homeowners only pay their deductible when the claim is approved. Retail pricing varies based on roof size, pitch, and material. We provide free written estimates and financing options.
What is included in a full roof replacement?
A full roof replacement typically includes tear-off, decking inspection, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, pipe boots, ridge vent, drip edge, high-quality shingles or metal panels, and complete jobsite cleanup.
Do you upgrade shingles to Class 3 or Class 4?
Yes. We currently offer a free Class 3 shingle upgrade on all full roof replacements. Class 4 options are also available for maximum hail resistance.
FAQ: Roof Repairs
Do you repair roof leaks?
Yes. We repair roof leaks, failing pipe boots, damaged flashing, chimney flashing issues, ridge vent leaks, and other common sources of water intrusion.
Can a small roof leak become a bigger problem?
Absolutely. Even minor leaks can cause decking rot, insulation damage, mold growth, and structural issues if they are not repaired quickly.
Do you repair roofs you didn’t install?
Yes. We repair all types of roofs, regardless of who installed the original system.
FAQ: Metal Roofing
Are metal roofs worth the investment?
Metal roofs can last 40–70 years, withstand severe storms, and may reduce long-term maintenance and insurance costs, making them a strong investment for many North Texas homeowners.
Do metal roofs make homes hotter?
No. Metal roofing reflects sunlight and, when properly ventilated, can actually help reduce cooling costs compared to traditional shingles.
Can metal roofs be installed over existing shingles?
In some cases they can, but we typically recommend removing the existing shingles for better long-term performance, weight management, and warranty compliance.
FAQ: Gutters & Add-Ons
Do I need seamless gutters with my new roof?
If your home has drainage issues, soil erosion, or water pooling near the foundation, seamless gutters are highly recommended to control runoff and protect the property.
Are gutter guards worth installing?
Yes. Gutter guards reduce clogging, cut down on maintenance, and help extend the lifespan of your gutter system.
