Frisco
John Elliott Roofing & Construction provides free roof inspections and storm damage documentation across Frisco, TX, one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, covering master-planned communities near The Star, PGA Frisco, and the Dallas North Tollway corridor.
Overview
Frisco’s rapid growth means a lot of roofs here are still relatively new, which makes storm damage easy to miss since homeowners don’t expect to need a roofer yet.
Frisco was the fastest-growing city in the country for a stretch in the 2000s, and the growth hasn’t stopped since, with large master-planned communities built out along the Dallas North Tollway and Sam Rayburn Tollway corridor. The city is home to The Star, the Dallas Cowboys’ 91-acre headquarters and practice facility, PGA Frisco and the PGA of America’s national headquarters, Toyota Stadium for FC Dallas, and Riders Stadium for the Frisco RoughRiders, along with Frisco ISD, consistently rated among the top school districts in the state.
That growth is mostly new construction, and builder-grade shingles are the norm on first-generation homes in communities across the city. A hail event is often the first real test that roofing material has ever seen, and after a storm, that’s frequently the roof that needs a full replacement rather than a spot repair, since builder-grade shingles weren’t chosen for long-term storm performance in the first place. It’s also a good opportunity to upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles at replacement time.
Because so much of Frisco’s housing stock is under 20 years old, a lot of homeowners here have never had to think about their roof before. A first hailstorm is usually what changes that, and a close inspection is the only way to know for certain whether it did real damage.
