(214) 807-0414Request an assessmentGarland hail damage
Most cities want to know what you are building. Garland's published re-roofing guidance also asks to see a document: either a copy of the executed contract for the roof repair or replacement, or the insurance adjuster's scope. After hail that ties the permit path to the claim file, and it means a written scope has to survive being read by someone outside the transaction. Confirm the current submission requirements before applying.

What is different here
Three things that decide how a roof job goes in this city, and that are not the same one town over.
Garland's published re-roofing guidance asks for either a copy of the executed contract for the roof repair or replacement, or the insurance adjuster's scope. Confirm the current submission requirements with the city before a scope is finalised.
A city accepting an adjuster's scope as a permit document says nothing about what a carrier will pay. It is a municipal process fact. Coverage is determined by your insurer under your policy, and no contractor can tell you that outcome.
After a storm the same description of the work sits in a permit file and alongside a claim file. A scope written vaguely enough to stay flexible is a scope that reads badly in both places, and it is read in both.
Local context
Dated photographs of the visible condition first, then a written construction scope, then the permit application. Working the other way round still produces the document the city asks for, but it produces it after the point where it was describing anything observed. The order is doing real work here, not ceremony.
Not every hail-damaged roof becomes a claim, and plenty of storm repairs are paid directly. Where no adjuster scope exists the guidance's other route is the executed contract for the repair or replacement. That is a normal path rather than a fallback, and it means the contract itself has to describe the work.
Garland's guidance also requires detailed plans where the pitch of the roof is being changed. Hail rarely changes a pitch. It does open decking, and a roof that has been leaking since the storm can have soft sheathing under it, which moves the scope and can move the permit position with it.
Questions
No. A submission requirement is a municipal process fact and nothing more. Whether a loss is covered, and for how much, is determined by your carrier under your policy. We document construction conditions and write a construction scope. We do not interpret policy or predict a result.
No. Texas law does not allow a contractor to waive, rebate or absorb a property-policy deductible, and we will not do it under any wording. An offer like that has to be hidden somewhere, and the estimate sent to your carrier is usually where it goes.
Coverage is confirmed for the specific address before an assessment is scheduled. This route documents the local permit path and the local roof conditions. It does not assert an active service area.
Whichever document the city's current guidance accepts, and the mismatch is a separate conversation from the filing. The two are written for different purposes: one reflects a carrier's view of the loss, the other describes the construction work a contractor proposes to do. They can describe the same roof and still not agree. We can explain our own scope line by line. We cannot negotiate the other one on your behalf.
Assessment request
Short, routing-only questions. Nothing here asks you to diagnose the roof yourself.
