Hail season brings out the storm chasers. We rank local roofers on public data you can check, including Google reviews, a local office, years in business and manufacturer credentials, and explain the Texas rules that protect you.

A roofer can inspect, document damage and meet your adjuster, but Texas Insurance Code §4102.163 bars a contractor from acting as your public adjuster or advertising that it will negotiate your claim. Only you or a licensed public adjuster can do that.
