Roof Replacement in McKinney, TX After Hail Damage to a Concrete Tile Roof

This roof replacement in McKinney, TX involved a commercial office building with a concrete tile roof damaged by hail. The building sits in West McKinney and had sustained widespread hail and wind damage across its tile field. Our crew inspected the roof, confirmed the damage pattern, and moved forward with a full tear-off and replacement. Because concrete tile is not a stock item, this job required sourcing a manufacturer able to custom-fabricate matching tile for the project. The work took five days, and the finished roof passed final inspection. The job is documented for insurance, and the approximate cost fell in the over-$50k range given the scope of a commercial tile roof.

What we found in McKinney

Our inspection found widespread hail and wind damage across the concrete tile roof. Cracked, chipped, and displaced tiles showed up throughout the field, consistent with hail impact. Because this was a commercial building, the roof area was large, and the damage pattern extended across multiple roof planes. Documenting this thoroughly mattered, since the property owner needed clear evidence for their insurance claim before any tear-off began.

Rainy Day’s role

Rainy Day Restoration & Roofing has worked in North Texas since 1999, and this job followed that same approach: one company from first call through rebuild. Josh Hopewell led the inspection and documentation process. On roofing work like this, our team manages the project scope, sourcing, and installation, though roofing itself is not a licensed trade in Texas and this portion of the job falls outside IICRC certification.

The roof replacement in McKinney, step by step

We began with a full tear-off of the damaged concrete tile roof. Once the deck was exposed, the crew inspected it and installed new underlayment across the entire roof area. Because the original tile was a specific style no longer available off the shelf, we located a manufacturer that could custom-fabricate matching concrete tile for this exact project. The tiles arrived on multiple pallets, and the crew custom-mixed tile from each pallet to randomize the pattern across the roof. This step prevented visible blocking or color clustering, which can happen when tile from a single pallet gets installed in one section. After the tile installation finished, the roof passed final inspection.

Why hail damage is worth taking seriously

Hail-damaged concrete tile does not always look severe from the ground. Cracked or chipped tile can still hold in place for months, but each one creates a weak point where water can work its way underneath. Over time, this leads to leaks that show up far from the original impact site, since water travels along the underlayment before it finds a way through the deck. For commercial buildings, a larger roof area means more tiles at risk after a hailstorm. Addressing damage after a documented storm, rather than waiting, gives the underlayment and deck a chance to stay protected before minor cracks turn into active leaks.

Result and next step

This roof replacement in McKinney, TX finished with a fully replaced concrete tile roof that passed final inspection. The job is documented for insurance, giving the property owner a clear record of the hail damage, the scope of work, and the completed replacement. For similar commercial buildings with tile roofing, the next step after a hailstorm is a roof inspection to document condition before deciding on repair versus full replacement.
