We are holding off on the appraisal for now to see if the current owners insurance company will pay for a roof due to recent hail damage.

I am starting a contracting company in the DFW market, I've spent the last 10 years in the residential construction industry, as a builder, and property insurance adjuster working all over the country doing build back estimating from hail storms to hurricanes (Ike, Irene,Sandy) I look forward to learning from everyone and look forward to connecting with some great people in the industry. 

Oh, that's not including any repairs or upgrades to the place..oh, and don't forget possible assessments by the HOA for some "special project" or "upgrade" for all tenants or the new favorite one....charging everyone in the HOA for hail damage.

We had some hail storms down here in GA a few years ago. 

We are currently contracted on over 150 property claims ranging from hail, wind, fire and water losses.

I have never heard of 4 feet of hail storms!

One reason TX insurance is so high is because of wind/hail and roof replacements.

Vinyl will be the cheapest option and you won't need to paint it but you will need to replace it when the next big hail storm comes through.

Hail damage and sky high property taxs in that state..
