If you have lived in North Texas for more than a single season, you know exactly how it feels when those dark clouds start rolling in over the horizon. Whether you are in Burleson, Fort Worth, or anywhere in the DFW metroplex, the sound of hail hitting your roof is enough to make any homeowner’s heart sink.
After the clouds clear and the sun comes back out, the real work begins. You see the neighbors calling roofing companies, and you know you need to check your own home for damage. But here is the thing: most roofing contractors are great at hammering nails, but they aren't always great at navigating the complex, often frustrating world of insurance claims.
That is where we do things differently at Texas Best Roofing Solutions. Our owner, Stan Short, isn't just a roofing expert; he is a former insurance adjuster. This unique background changes the entire game for our customers. When you have a former adjuster on your side, you aren't just getting a roof repair; you are getting an advocate who knows exactly how the "other side" thinks.
Most homeowners view the insurance claim process as a black box. You file a claim, an adjuster comes out, they look at the roof for fifteen minutes, and then you get a packet of paperwork in the mail that looks like it’s written in a foreign language.
When Stan walks onto your property, he isn't just looking for broken shingles. He is looking at your home through the eyes of an insurance company. He knows the specific criteria they use to determine if a roof should be repaired or completely replaced.
Insurance companies use specialized software called Xactimate to calculate repair costs. Because of his background, Stan speaks that language fluently. He can provide documentation and estimates that align perfectly with what the insurance company needs to see, which often speeds up the approval process and ensures that no damage is overlooked. This "insider" knowledge is the primary reason why we are able to help so many homeowners in the DFW area get their claims handled correctly the first time.
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make after a storm is failing to document the damage thoroughly. A standard roofer might take a couple of photos of a bruised shingle and call it a day. A former insurance adjuster knows that isn't enough to win a claim in today’s market.
At Texas Best Roofing Solutions, we perform high-detail, comprehensive inspections. We don't just look at the roof; we look at the "collateral damage." This includes things like:
Why does this matter? Because an insurance company is much more likely to approve a full roof replacement if there is clear evidence of collateral damage throughout the property. It proves that the storm was severe enough to cause functional damage to the shingles. By documenting these details, we build a "case" for your home that is very hard for an insurance company to deny.
It happens all the time: a homeowner files a claim, the insurance adjuster comes out, and a week later, the homeowner gets a letter saying the claim was denied or that the payout is only a fraction of what is actually needed to fix the roof.
This is where having an expert like Stan becomes your biggest asset. If a claim is unfairly denied or underpaid, we don't just shrug our shoulders. We know how to request a re-inspection. We know how to point out specific line items that were missed in the original adjustment. Because we understand the policy language, we can advocate for you with professional authority. We have helped countless homeowners in Midlothian and Fort Worth turn a "no" into a "yes" simply by providing the right evidence in the right format.
The DFW area has some of the most unpredictable weather in the country. From the "Hail Alley" that runs through North Texas to the high winds that can tear off shingles in an instant, your roof takes a beating.
Because we are local to the area, we know the specific history of storms in your neighborhood. We know when the last major hail event occurred in Burleson or when a windstorm swept through Mansfield. This local data is crucial when talking to insurance companies because it helps establish the "date of loss," which is a vital part of every claim.
When you work with a "storm chaser": those companies that fly in from out of state after a big storm: they don't have this local context. They want to get the job done fast and move on to the next city. We live here, we work here, and we care about our reputation in the community. You can learn more about our roots on our About Us page.
Our motto isn't just a slogan; it’s a commitment. Because we understand the insurance side, we also understand the long-term consequences of a poorly installed roof. If a roof isn't installed correctly, it might leak five years down the road, and by then, your insurance company might not cover it because it’s considered "faulty workmanship" rather than storm damage.
By getting the claim handled correctly and using high-quality materials, we ensure that your home is protected for the long haul. We handle everything from the initial inspection to the final shingle, making sure every detail meets our strict standards.

The most dangerous kind of roof damage is the kind you can't see from the ground. Hail can bruise the fiberglass mat of a shingle, which doesn't look like much now, but over the next 6 to 12 months, the granules will fall off, the sun will bake the exposed asphalt, and eventually, you’ll have a leak in your living room.
By the time you see a brown spot on your ceiling, the damage to your home’s structure could be significant. This is why we offer free inspections. There is absolutely no risk to you. We will come out, climb on the roof, and give you an honest assessment of whether you have a legitimate insurance claim or if your roof is still in good shape.
When you call Texas Best Roofing Solutions, you aren't getting a high-pressure salesperson. You are getting a team that treats you like family. Here is how we typically handle a storm damage inquiry:
Your home is likely your biggest investment. When a storm threatens that investment, you shouldn't have to settle for a roofer who doesn't understand the financial side of the repair. Having a former insurance adjuster on your side level the playing field. It takes the stress off your shoulders and puts the power back in your hands.
Whether you need residential roofing or help with a complex commercial claim, we are here to help. Don't let the insurance companies dictate what your home needs. Get an expert who knows their playbook.
