Hail, storm and housing conditions in Duncanville, TX

Duncanville's storms arrive from the southwest and west, and the city's position on rising ground southwest of Dallas means hail cores often pass directly overhead. Wind-driven rain against north and east slopes is the usual source of the leaks we see here.

Most Duncanville homes date from the 1960s through the 1990s: single-story brick ranches and two-story traditional homes with moderate pitches. Many roofs have a second layer, and the older streets near Main Street have small, simple roofs that are inexpensive to replace but often overdue.

We work throughout Duncanville, including the neighborhoods off Main Street, Cedar Ridge, and Wheatland Road, and the streets bordering Cedar Hill, DeSoto, and Dallas.

Duncanville requires a permit for roof replacement. HOA rules apply in only a few subdivisions, so material choices are usually wide open.

Our Duncanville inspections start at the edges. Wind and hail both attack perimeter shingles, ridge caps, and the rake boards first, and that is where the first water gets in after a storm. From there we check the soft metal — vents, gutter caps, and chimney flashing — because dents there tell you how hard the hail actually hit the shingle field. On the roof itself we look for bruised mats, fresh granule loss at the downspouts, and any tab that will not seal back down. Everything gets photographed with a written note of which slope it came from, so you and your adjuster are looking at the same evidence rather than a verbal description.
