Hardishake Inspections
I have spent quite a bit of time since November of 2005 doing fiber-cement roof inspections. What I'm seeing here in the DFW Metroplex is a lot of broken, chipped, and missing shingles... mainly caused by small hail, high wind, and broken tree branches falling on the roof.
I've looked at so many roofs lately that I've thought about buying a moped just to save a little on gas. This area still has a lot of these roofs. Usually, I'll get a call when someone is buying/selling a home and having trouble making the deal go through. That is because nobody wants the liability that comes a long with this type of roof.
If you are buying or selling a home with a Hardishake, Maxishake, Cemwood, or FireFree fiber cement roof, you owe it to yourself to call me (817) 781-9982. I may just be able to help you replace that roof without paying a dime out of your own pocket.

Allstate Insurance
I am often asked, "Which insurance company is the best?". While I do not have an answer to that question, I would like to give high marks to a member of Allstate's CAT team. His name is Greg (last name removed).
Greg was especially professional and gave the homeowner the kind of attention and respect you would expect from a company that uses the slogan "Good Hands". I was impressed at his desire to help.
No, I can't tell you who the best insurance company is... I'm sure it is all relative anyway. It depends on who you get to work with. On this day we worked with one of Allstate's finest. Thank you Greg.

Hardishake - Corner chips and breaks
Many Hardishake roofs here in North Texas were installed using the varying width shingles of 6", 8", and 12". Seldom do I see a Hardishake roof where every shingle is the exact same width. There are a few (usually 12") but they are uncommon.
As a result, corner chips and breaks can be a significant problem. Some concrete roofs (Not usually Hardishake or Maxishake) are "Half Bonded" meaning the shingle above and the shingle below are spaced halfway between each other. Please see the picture below for an example of "Half Bonded". The picture is actually of paving tiles but you'll get the idea. The tile below is halfway across the tile above:
By lapping the shingle above halfway across the shingle below you have quite a bit of water protection if a corner was to chip or break off due to small hail. In other words, half the shingle would need to break off in order to over expose the shingle below.
However, when you have a Hardishake roof with varying widths, a corner chipped away could easily cause overexposure to the shingle below. The shingle beneath is vulnerable. If there's a way for water to get into your home, it will eventually find it's way inside. Here's an example of a chip in a varying width installation...
Often Hardishake corner chips are as small as 1/2"... but not all of them are! Many are 2"-3". It isn't unusual to see a roof with several smaller corner chips AND a few shingles that are also chipped in half.
Anytime your roof is falling off in pieces, you need to be concerned. If your roof has corner chips and breaks, pick up the phone and call me (817) 781-9982.

Hardishake Claim Denied for Poor Installation
Recently, I reviewed a Hardishake Claim where the shingles were blown off, chips and pieces missing, and with extensive interior water damage. Although there was identifiable hail damage to the gutters, valleys, and a/c unit, the engineer attributed all of the shingle problems to "foot fault" and "poor installation".
If your Hardishake Claim has been denied for any reason, please call me for a second opinion.
