Roof Replacement in Sherman, TX After Dos Lagos East Hail Damage

This roof replacement in Sherman, TX took place in the Dos Lagos East subdivision after a hailstorm caused widespread damage to the shingles, flashing, and chimney cap. The homeowner had roof leaks before the project started. Once the crew completed tear-off, decking inspection, and a full shingle replacement, those leaks stopped. The job ran three days, and the cost fell in the $25k-$50k range, with insurance involved throughout the process.

What we found in Sherman

When Josh Hopewell and the crew arrived, the roof showed clear signs of hail and wind damage across most slopes. The homeowner had already noticed leaks inside the home, which matched what the crew found on the roof. As tear-off began, the team discovered multiple layers of old felt paper stacked on the decking. That meant extra time was needed to remove each layer before the decking itself could be inspected properly.

Rainy Day’s role

Rainy Day Restoration & Roofing has worked in North Texas since 1999, and this job followed the same approach the company uses on every roof: document what hail and wind actually did, then rebuild to correct it. Because insurance was involved, the crew photographed conditions at each stage so the homeowner had a clear record for the claims process. This job stayed roofing-only, so no mold or water credentials apply here.

The roof replacement in Sherman, step by step

The crew started with a full tear-off, stripping the roof down past the shingles and multiple layers of old felt. Once the decking was exposed, the team could finally inspect it directly instead of guessing at its condition. Next, the crew installed synthetic underlayment across the whole roof, then installed new shingles over the entire structure. The team also replaced flashing and vents throughout, since hail and wind damage often compromise these smaller components even when shingles get the most attention. A custom-fabricated chimney cap replaced the damaged original, built to fit that specific chimney rather than a generic stock size. Because the property has a large pool, the crew covered it before tear-off began to keep debris out of the water during the three-day job.

Why hail damage is worth taking seriously

Hail damage often looks minor from the ground, but it can compromise a roof’s ability to keep water out. Once shingles crack or lose granules, water can work its way underneath during the next rain. This is exactly what happened here: leaks appeared inside the home before the homeowner called for help. Left alone, hail damage tends to get worse over time, not better, especially once multiple storms hit the same roof.

Result and next step

This roof replacement in Sherman, TX finished with a passed final inspection and full documentation for the insurance claim. The new shingles, underlayment, flashing, vents, and chimney cap now cover the home, and the leaks that existed before the project no longer occur. For homeowners in a similar spot, the next step is usually a roof inspection to document current hail or wind damage before it leads to interior leaks.

Guidance for property owners in Sherman and North Texas

Homeowners in Sherman who suspect hail damage should get a roof looked at soon after a storm, since damage is easier to document while it’s fresh. The Sherman roof repair page covers smaller-scope repairs for homeowners who aren’t sure they need a full replacement yet. For background on how often significant hail hits this area, the Sherman hail history page tracks past storms, and the National Weather Service Fort Worth office is the authoritative source for regional storm data. Insurance claims move faster with clear photo documentation, so it helps to have a company that can walk through both the roof and the paperwork.
