Questions homeowners ask before reading
What should I read first after a hailstorm?
Start with the Texas hail damage claim guide, then read the storm damage page for your city if you are in Frisco, Plano, or McKinney.
Are these resources a replacement for an inspection?
No. They help you understand the decision, but a roof inspection is the fastest way to confirm whether you need repair, replacement, tarping, or documentation.
What does Frame Restoration document for my roof claim?
No. Frame documents conditions, prepares construction scopes, and coordinates with adjusters when requested. Your carrier decides coverage.
Can I call from a resource page?
Yes. Call 214-308-9227 or request a free inspection online. The same Frisco team handles resource-page inquiries.
Still not sure what your roof needs?
Send the question to the local team. Frame Restoration will inspect the roof, document the condition, and give you a written next step with no sales pressure.
