This roof replacement in Sherman, TX addressed a hail-damaged roof and multiple interior leaks on a steep-pitched home in the Parkhaven neighborhood. Hail had bruised and cracked shingles across large sections of the roof, and wind had loosened others enough to let water past the underlayment. The homeowner noticed active leaks inside, which pointed to a roof system that could no longer keep water out. Our crew tore off the entire roof, replaced the underlayment, added ice and water shield in the valleys, and installed new shingles and flashing. The job took two days and finished with a passed final inspection and full documentation for the insurance claim.
What we found in Sherman
When our team arrived, the roof showed widespread hail bruising and wind-lifted shingles across multiple slopes. This kind of damage often looks minor from the ground, but up close it was clear the shingle mat had cracked in many spots. Because the roof pitch was unusually steep, our crew used extra safety measures to inspect and work on it safely. Inside the home, the owner had already noticed leaks in more than one room, which matched the exterior damage we documented on the roof.
Rainy Day’s role
Rainy Day Restoration & Roofing has worked in North Texas since 1999, and this job reflects our approach of handling a property from the first call through the rebuild. The interior leaks required structural drying, which our team also performed and will cover in a separate report. For this report, we focus on the roof itself: the tear-off, the new materials, and the finished exterior. Because insurance was involved, we documented every stage of the work with photos to support the claim.
The roof replacement in Sherman, step by step
We started with a full tear-off, stripping the roof down to the deck so nothing hidden could be missed. Once the deck was clear, our crew inspected it before moving forward with new materials. Next, we installed synthetic underlayment across the entire roof, then added ice and water shield in the valleys where water tends to concentrate. After that, we installed new shingles across every slope and replaced the flashing and vents to keep those transition points sealed. We also replaced the aluminum gutters and downspouts so the drainage system matched the new roof. The entire project, from tear-off to final shingle, took two days given the scope of the damage.
What the photos show
The photo set moves through the project in order. Early images show the hail-damaged shingles and the condition of the roof before any work began. The middle photos document the tear-off, the exposed deck, the new underlayment, and the ice and water shield going into the valleys. Later photos show the new shingles, flashing, and vents installed and the finished roofline from multiple angles.

Why hail damage is worth taking seriously
Hail damage rarely announces itself right away. A bruised shingle can look fine from the street, but the mat underneath may already be cracked. Over time, wind works into those weak spots and lifts shingles further, which is often how a single storm turns into multiple leaks later. On a steep roof like this one, damage can also be harder to spot without a close inspection. Addressing hail damage early, or documenting it thoroughly when it’s found, gives homeowners a clearer path through the insurance process and a roof that performs the way it should.
Result and next step
This roof replacement in Sherman, TX finished with new shingles, new underlayment, new flashing, and new gutters across the entire home. The roof passed final inspection, and the homeowner reported no leaks after the work was complete. Because insurance was involved, our team documented the hail damage, the tear-off, and the new materials to support the claim. For the interior leaks, the structural drying portion of this project is detailed in a separate report.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement in Sherman take after hail damage?
This project took two days from tear-off to finished shingles, though timing depends on the roof size and pitch. A steep roof, like this one, can add extra time for safety setup.
Does hail damage always cause visible leaks right away?
Not always. Hail can crack a shingle’s mat without an immediate leak, and wind often finishes the job later. That’s why a close inspection after a storm matters, even if the roof looks fine from the ground.
What materials were used in this roof replacement?
The crew installed synthetic underlayment across the whole roof and added ice and water shield in the valleys. They also installed new shingles, flashing, vents, and aluminum gutters and downspouts.
Will insurance documentation help with a hail damage claim?
Thorough photo documentation of the damage, the tear-off, and the new materials gives homeowners clear support for an insurance claim. This project was documented at each stage for that reason.
