Roofing Contractor in Lancaster, TX

Lancaster pairs an old town square with big, newer commercial buildings. Older homes cluster near the historic square, subdivisions spread out from there, and big distribution warehouses stand near I-20, I-45 and Lancaster Regional Airport. The city is about 40 minutes (26 miles) from Irving by I-20 and I-35E. Storms set it apart: on April 3, 2012, the outbreak that reached Arlington and Forney also sent a tornado through Lancaster, and roofs replaced after it are now in middle age.

Lancaster Tornado History and Storm Damage Roof Repair

When a tornado or severe windstorm opens a roof, water is the immediate threat. Our tornado damage roof repair work starts with tarping and a complete photo record, then moves to decking, underlayment and shingle replacement.

Hail is the more regular visitor. Spring storms cross southern Dallas County most years, and our hail damage roof repair work checks every slope with test squares.

The 2012 tornado also reshaped the housing map. Damaged homes were repaired or re-roofed in the months that followed, so many Lancaster streets now carry roofs of about the same age. Rush jobs after any big storm are where we tend to find short-cut flashing, missing drip edge and nails set too high, so those roofs get a careful look. Housing near the square goes back much further, with steep pitches, tall chimneys and plank decking, while the 1970s and 1980s subdivisions toward I-35E carry low-pitch hip roofs and limited attic venting. Open prairie on the south and east sides gives straight-line wind and hail a clean run at all of them.

Warehouses Near I-20 and I-45 and Homes by the Square

The warehouses along the interstates carry huge low-slope roofs where a single failed seam or clogged drain can affect a large area. Hangars and buildings at the airport have similar needs. Our commercial roofing side handles those inspections and repairs.

Near the square, older two-story houses have steep roofs, tall chimneys and decking that has seen several re-roofs. Many homes in newer subdivisions got new roofs after 2012 that are now aging on a shared schedule, and full roof replacement is coming due for many of them.

Around the Historic Square, Ten Mile Creek and the Regional Airport

Lancaster's historic town square, one of the older squares in Dallas County, anchors the center of the city along Dallas Avenue, with brick storefronts and flat commercial roofs behind parapets. Older homes fill the blocks around it, and Dallas College's Cedar Valley campus sits farther up Dallas Avenue. Across from the square, the Interurban Building recalls the electric rail line that served Lancaster until the 1950s, and Community Park, with its pond, walking trails and the Veterans Memorial Library, sits among the neighborhoods. Ten Mile Creek crosses the city from DeSoto with greenbelt along its banks. To the east, Lancaster Regional Airport and the distribution centers between I-20 and I-45 carry acres of low-slope roof, while Pleasant Run Road and Belt Line Road tie together the subdivisions on the west side.

We usually come down I-35E from Irving and cut across on Pleasant Run or Belt Line, or take I-20 east when the job is in the warehouse district.

How Does a Lancaster Roof Inspection Go?

You pick the time, and we drive south on I-35E; Irving is where our roofing contractor in Irving, TX work is based. Dented downspouts and vent caps tell us early whether hail was large. Up top, every slope gets a test square and every pipe, chimney and wall joint gets a picture. Findings come back to you in English or Spanish, along with a written price that costs nothing to receive.

Who Speaks to the Insurer After Lancaster Storm Damage?

You do. Chapter 4102 of the Texas Insurance Code bars a roofer from acting as your adjuster. Our contribution is a dated photo set, a slope-by-slope damage report and a person on the roof beside the adjuster. Once the insurer settles the scope, that is what we build. The roof insurance claim help page has the full picture.
