Roof Replacement in Plano, TX

Following the severe March 2026 hailstorms that impacted much of North Texas, this rental property in the Cross Creek East neighborhood of Plano received a complete roof replacement after storm damage was documented and approved through the homeowner\\'s Allstate Insurance claim. Project Manager Sam Wortham worked directly with the property owner throughout the claims process, helping secure insurance approval for both the roof replacement and a new fence while identifying an additional code-related issue that needed to be addressed before installation.

During the inspection, Sam discovered that the home\\'s original roof decking consisted of older, thinner decking that no longer met current building code requirements. Rather than covering over the existing substrate, Wortham Brothers Roofing submitted the necessary documentation and supplemental request so the decking could be replaced and upgraded as part of the restoration project. Once approved, the crew completed a full re-deck before installing a brand-new roofing system, ensuring the home received a structurally sound foundation beneath its new shingles while bringing the roof up to current code standards.

The finished roof features TAMKO Heritage shingles in Rustic Cedar, a warm architectural color that complements the home\\'s brick exterior while providing dependable protection against future North Texas storms. The replacement also included installation of a complete roofing system designed to restore the property\\'s weather resistance and extend the life of the home for years to come. In addition to the roofing work, the insurance claim also covered replacement of the storm-damaged fence, allowing the property owner to complete multiple exterior improvements through a single claim.

The total insurance claim value reached $16,215, allowing the homeowner to restore the property without delaying critical repairs. Throughout the project, Sam Wortham kept the owner informed, managed the insurance supplement process for the required re-deck, coordinated construction from start to finish, and ensured the work met both manufacturer specifications and local code requirements before final completion.

Projects like this highlight why experience matters when working through storm damage insurance claims. Identifying code upgrades such as inadequate roof decking can make a significant difference in the long-term performance and safety of a roofing system, and an experienced contractor knows how to properly document those conditions for insurance review rather than leaving homeowners to navigate the process alone.
