How to Sell Roofing After a Storm in DFW (Insurance Claim Playbook)
Top closers don't guess — they run a system. Here's the exact playbook for how to sell roofing after a storm in dfw.
Lead with the inspection, not the sale
Knock with: 'Your block got hit hard last Tuesday — I'm doing free inspections this afternoon, takes 10 minutes.' Inspection-first kills the door slam. The sale comes after the ladder.
Document everything on camera
Photos of every hit, soft spot, and granular loss. The homeowner sees the damage in real time, the adjuster sees it in the file. Documentation is leverage with both.
Close on the contingency, not the contract
Sign a contingency agreement same day: 'If insurance approves, we do the work.' Low commitment, high signing rate. Real contract follows the adjuster's check.

FAQ
Do roofing companies pay your insurance deductible?
Legally no in Texas — that's insurance fraud. What good companies do is absorb upgrades, code items, and overhead so the deductible is the only out-of-pocket cost.
How long do I have to file a roof claim after a storm?
Most Texas policies give 1 year, but file within 30–60 days for the strongest case. Document damage immediately.
What's the best time to door-knock for storm roofing?
Within 7 days of the storm. After that, competitors flood the area and homeowners are jaded. First in wins most contracts.
