Re-roof permit rule: In Fort Worth a re-roof permit depends on scope: decking, sheathing, rafter or pitch changes trigger a permit, while a shingles-only tear-off does not, subject to code limits on layering. source
On storm losses we inspect, photograph and measure the damage, we meet your adjuster and document the full scope, and we give you a line-item estimate. Texas law does not allow a contractor to negotiate your claim, act as your adjuster, or waive, absorb or rebate a deductible.
