This roof replacement in Sherman, TX addressed widespread hail damage on a rental property in the Heritage Farms neighborhood. The owner does not live at the property, so trust mattered more than usual. Our crew documented the damage, completed a full tear-off, and installed a new roofing system built to handle North Texas storms. The job finished in one day and passed final inspection, with everything documented for the insurance claim.
What we found in Sherman
When our crew arrived at this Heritage Farms property, the roof showed widespread hail and wind damage across every slope. Impact marks scattered through the shingle field, and wind had lifted edges in several spots. Because the owner does not live at the property, they relied on someone else to walk the roof and report back honestly. That is exactly what this inspection provided: a clear, documented look at storm damage a renter or an absentee owner would otherwise never see up close.
Rainy Day’s role
Rainy Day Restoration & Roofing has worked as one family-owned company since 1999, and that matters most on jobs like this one. The owner could not be on-site to supervise, so our crew handled every step from inspection through the finished roof. We coordinated the documentation needed for the insurance claim and kept the process simple for a property owner managing a rental from a distance.
What we did
The roof replacement in Sherman, TX started with a full tear-off down to the deck. Next, the crew installed new underlayment across the entire roof to create a solid moisture barrier. After that, we installed new shingles rated for 130 mph wind resistance, a meaningful upgrade for a region that sees regular hail and high wind. Finally, the team replaced flashing and roof vents so every penetration point sheds water correctly. Before any tear-off began, the crew placed large tarps on the ground to catch falling debris and protect the landscaping below.

Why hail damage is worth taking seriously
Hail damage often looks minor from the ground, but it can compromise a shingle’s ability to shed water over time. A rental property adds another layer of risk, because tenants may not notice early warning signs like granule loss or lifted edges. Left unaddressed, storm damage can lead to leaks that show up months later as ceiling stains or water damage inside the home. Catching it early, and documenting it properly, protects both the structure and the insurance claim.
Result and next step
This roof replacement in Sherman, TX finished in a single day and passed final inspection. Every stage of the work, from tear-off through the new shingles and flashing, was documented for the insurance claim. The property owner now has a completed roof and a clear paper trail, without ever needing to be on-site. The next step for any owner in a similar position is simple: schedule a roof inspection after any hail event, even from a distance.
