Allen Roofing Poor Install

 

Allen Roofing Inspection

We were called out for an Allen roofing inspection in September of 2019 for someone that was purchasing a home in Allen, TX. We provided a quote for a roof replacement as the house had extensive hail damage. The seller of the home insisted they use their own Allen roofing contractor, so we lost the job, not a problem at all!

The buyer got a new roof and closed on the house and was happy. Fast forward to summer of 2021 and Allen got a pretty good size hailstorm. The homeowner that we had previously put a bid in for called us out for an inspection. 

No Permit

On just about every Allen roof appointment, I go to I pull history on permits before I go. It gives me information of when the last time an Allen roofing contractor applied for a permit for replacement. I noticed there was no permit pulled in 2019 when I knew the homeowner replaced the roof and knew it might be bad.

The Allen roofing inspection led to just what was expected to find. The Allen roofer used a builder grade shingle that doesn’t hold up well at all to hailstorms. We use Owens Corning shingles that cost a little more but hold up much better to hail. 

Brand Matters

I’ve performed Allen roofing inspections on similar aged roofs where one has Owens Corning showed minimal damage and a builder grade would show extensive damage and in need of a replacement. The Allen roofer also re-used all their soft metal and vents on the roof which can lead to leaks if fail early due to age and cracking.

There was also 20+ nail pops through the roof which is more than likely having their air guns on the wrong pressure. Nail pops can lead to good-sized leaks from a very simple issue that is caused by poor workmanship. 

Allen Roofer - Poor Workmanship

Then Allen roofer also had several shingles that were already torn and cracked. Cracked shingles can happen overtime to age but the roof was less than two years old and shouldn’t have been happening already.

Farmers insurance approved a new roof after we did our roofing inspection and gave them all the documentation. We replaced with an Owens Corning shingle and replaced all the soft metal and vents on roof like should have been done in first place.

Reliable Roofing Contractor

When you’re are looking for an Allen roofing contractor make sure you hire someone reliable. Luckily, we were able to fix all the previous mistakes of the Allen roofer to previously replace this roof before there were major issues.

We just had a storm in Frisco, TX in February and within a day or two there were countless roofing companies driving around with out of state plates. Generally, these companies will hire door knockers to canvas neighborhoods and set up appointments.  Lots of local Frisco roofing are good contractors that use door knockers as well, but you want to be sure you hire a local Frisco roofer or another contractor that is in the DFW metroplex.
