Storm Damage Repair in Fort Worth, TX

Fort Worth sits at the center of North America's most active hail corridor — the area between the Texas Panhandle and the Red River where supercell thunderstorms regularly produce hailstones ranging from golf-ball to softball size. Tarrant County receives an average of 10 to 14 significant hail events per year, and the insurance industry routinely identifies Fort Worth and the DFW Metroplex as the highest per-capita hail damage market in the United States. The March 2016 hailstorm that struck North Tarrant County dropped softball-sized hail across Hurst, Euless, and Bedford, causing an estimated $1.7 billion in insured losses in a single afternoon. Tornadoes are the second major storm damage driver: Fort Worth has been directly struck by significant tornadoes multiple times, with the March 2000 tornado outbreak that damaged the Fort Worth central business district — including the Tarrant County Courthouse and the Burnett Plaza — serving as the definitive modern example of tornado vulnerability in a major Texas urban center. Fort Worth's rapid growth has added hundreds of new roofing claims to the market annually, as the predominantly composition-shingle residential roofing installed in new construction communities is most vulnerable during its first 10 years of service when the asphalt granules have not yet fully bedded.
