Your roof replacement should be the last thing on your mind during Texas storm season. When you choose materials designed for hail impact and wind resistance, you’re not just fixing a problem—you’re preventing the next one.
Texas homeowners know the drill. One severe storm rolls through Fred, and suddenly you’re dealing with insurance adjusters, contractor estimates, and the stress of a damaged home. A proper roof replacement eliminates that cycle of worry and repair.
The right roofing system means your home stays dry during those sudden downpours, stays cool when summer temperatures soar, and stands strong when hail the size of golf balls comes crashing down.
At Southern Roofing Solutions, we understand what Fred homeowners face. We’ve seen the damage that Texas storms can inflict, and we’ve helped countless families get back under a solid roof.
Our team knows the local building codes, works directly with insurance companies, and sources materials that perform in this climate. We’re not just another roofing company—we’re your neighbors who happen to specialize in keeping Texas homes protected.
When you call us, you’re getting contractors who’ve worked through Fred’s storm seasons and know exactly what your roof needs to last.
Your roof replacement starts with a thorough inspection. We document every detail of storm damage, take photos for insurance purposes, and assess what needs immediate attention versus complete replacement.
Next, we handle the insurance paperwork. Most Fred homeowners don’t realize they can get significant coverage for storm damage, but we know exactly how to document and present your claim for maximum approval.
Then comes the actual replacement work. We strip away damaged materials, inspect and repair the underlying structure, and install your new roofing system using materials rated for Texas weather conditions. The entire process typically takes 1-3 days, depending on your home’s size and complexity.

Your roof replacement includes more than just shingles. We install proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation systems designed for Texas heat and humidity. Every component works together to create a complete weather barrier.
For Fred homeowners, we recommend impact-resistant materials that meet Texas hail ratings. These aren’t just marketing terms—they’re actual performance standards that determine whether your roof survives the next storm or becomes another insurance claim.
We also focus on energy efficiency. Texas summers are brutal, and the right roofing materials can significantly reduce your cooling costs. Reflective shingles and proper attic ventilation keep your home comfortable while lowering energy bills year-round.
Roof replacement costs in Fred typically range from $7,500 to $15,000 for standard asphalt shingle systems, though the final price depends on your home’s size, pitch, and material choices. Metal roofing runs higher upfront but offers superior hail resistance and longevity.
Labor accounts for about 40-50% of your total cost, with rural areas like Fred often seeing slightly lower rates than major Texas cities. However, material delivery to smaller communities can add some expense.
The good news? Many Fred homeowners discover their insurance covers most storm damage repairs. We help document damage properly and work directly with adjusters to maximize your coverage.
For Fred’s climate, impact-resistant architectural shingles offer the best balance of cost and performance. These materials meet UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings, meaning they can withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter.
Metal roofing is becoming increasingly popular in Texas because it reflects heat, resists hail damage, and can last 50+ years. While more expensive initially, metal systems often pay for themselves through energy savings and reduced maintenance.
Avoid basic 3-tab shingles in Texas. They simply don’t hold up to our extreme weather patterns. The small cost difference for architectural shingles provides significantly better protection and longer lifespan.
Most roof replacements in Fred take 1-3 days once we start work, depending on your home’s size and the extent of damage. However, getting started depends on several factors including insurance approval and material availability.
After major storms, demand spikes and quality contractors get booked quickly. That’s why we recommend calling for inspection immediately after any hail or wind event, even if damage isn’t obvious from the ground.
We maintain relationships with suppliers to ensure material availability and can often begin work within a week of insurance approval. Emergency repairs to prevent further damage can usually be completed within 24-48 hours.
Texas homeowners’ insurance typically covers roof replacement when damage results from covered events like hail, wind, or fallen trees. The key is proper documentation and understanding your policy terms.
Most policies require claims within one year of damage, though some specify shorter timeframes. We help document damage with detailed photos and measurements that insurance adjusters need for claim approval.
Your deductible and coverage type (replacement cost vs. actual cash value) affect your out-of-pocket expense. We work directly with insurance companies to ensure you receive fair settlement amounts for quality materials and professional installation.
Complete roof replacement becomes necessary when damage covers more than 25-30% of your roof surface, when multiple layers of shingles need removal, or when the underlying decking requires extensive repair.
Age is another factor. If your roof is over 15-20 years old and showing multiple problem areas, replacement often makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Texas weather accelerates aging, so roofs here typically need replacement sooner than in milder climates.
We provide honest assessments during our inspections. Sometimes what looks like major damage from the ground only requires targeted repairs, while seemingly minor issues might indicate systemic problems requiring full replacement.
Choose contractors licensed in Texas, properly insured, and experienced with storm damage claims. Ask for local references and verify their Better Business Bureau rating before signing any contracts.
Avoid door-to-door contractors who appear after storms promising quick fixes or asking for full payment upfront. Reputable contractors provide detailed written estimates, explain the scope of work clearly, and never pressure you into immediate decisions.
Look for manufacturers’ certifications and warranties that back up their work. Quality contractors stand behind their installations with comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship for years, not just months.
