3bed/2bath house - 1300sf + attached garage. 1.5 squares of shingles (asphalt composite shingles).
I'm going to assume that's a typo, and it's 15 squares and not 1.5, or more like 21.5 for that size house.

It's a typo. 15sq, as you alluded to is probably tear off amount.

Anyway, anyone replacing their shingles….pay attention to the brands your roofers are using. Tamko, GAF, Certainteed, Owens Corning, IKO….all have class 3 impact resistant ratings on their architectural shingles. Make sure that's what they are using. You may have premium discounts available to you with them. They should have no upgrade cost. And there is zero reason to not put architectural on your house regardless of whether the original is 3 tab.

Who all does paintless dent repair in BCS? We are pretty sure that we can go that route.

15 does sound really low but maybe it has a really really flat roof

The last small roof job I did was ~1100 ft. heated and a one car garage and it was right at 19 squares

Posted this on the automotive board as well:

A guy is talking to our neighbor now saying they'll pay their deductibles on both cars and if they refer anyone they'll get a $200 bonus. Assuming this is highly illegal, right?

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Do all (or most?) of the local body shops do PDR or is that more of a specialist thing?

I recommend Stellar Roofing as well, locally owned and was very pleased with the work and how Scott runs his business.

Just got home, got on my roof. Oh-blih-ter-ated.

I have been in the hail/insurance business for several years and I climb 9-10 roofs a week for this stuff across the state and in other states.

I've not seen hail damage this bad in a long time.

Roof
Gutters
Travertine tile around the pool area - chips along the edges
Mailbox
Fence spatter

Damn. The hits on the gutter pans are huge.

We were on the sixth floor looking down on the third floor at the hotel on campus and at first this stuff was big - baseball size then went to smaller hail - attached a pictures from when it first started couldn't get the video to load - hail went through golf carts roofs-shredded the cabana tents on the third level - the cloth ones and also destroyed the metal ones - my son said it dented the hell outta the Alabama baseball team bus roof- we asked the Alabama players we saw in the elevator how they liked our 3am wake up call and couple we talked to said they were afraid to look out their room window.


I collect ticket stubs! looking for a 1944 orange bowl ticket stub and Aggie vs tu stubs - 1926 and below, 1935-1937, 1939-1944, 1946-1948, 1950, 1953, 1956-1957, 1959, 1960, 1963-1966, 1969-1970, 1973, 1974, 1980, 1984, 1990, 2004, 2008 also looking for vs Villanova 1949

Haven't gone out much since the 15th. I didn't see any pop-up dent repair stands. A few years ago there was like, four of them along Texas Avenue in CS.

Had 6 storm chaser roofing companies stop by my house this weekend. One even walked around the house, looked over my fence to get my attention. That conversation didn't go as he planned.

My signs worked! We had a company from San Antonio show up with a drone Sunday. As we were leaving for church they were deploying the drone. Apparently went around our cul-d-sac taking pics (which is disturbing) then went door to door showing my neighbors the pics and trying to convince them to hire them based on drone images. Luckily we were at church when they tried to come by, here is out sign working it's magic! Remember folks DO NOT HIRE OUT OF TOWN ROOFERS OR HAIL REPAIR COMPANIES!!!!!!!

If the fly by night roofer is a thief, then Elite is just going with the following:
