Let me walk you through exactly how the insurance process works for your roof, and how Prime Property Builders handles it from start to finish.
This is not sales talk. This is clarity. Because when homeowners understand the process, they make better decisions, and that's always our goal.
Step 1
You Contact Us for a Roof Inspection
If You File a Claim, We Guide You Through It
What the insurance company will be looking for
Adjusters look for storm-specific damage patterns, hail hits, wind-lifted tabs, granule loss in distinct areas. Age wear alone rarely qualifies.
What the adjuster's role is
The adjuster works for the insurance company, not for you. Their job is to verify and scope the loss, not to advocate on your behalf.
What documentation matters
Date-stamped photos, storm reports, and an itemized damage summary are the difference between a clean approval and a protracted dispute.
What insurance does: and does not, cover
Storm damage to the field of the roof is typically covered. Pre-existing wear, improper installation, and routine maintenance are not.
Step 4
We Meet the Adjuster and Document Everything
Step 5
If the Claim Is Denied, We Help You Understand Your Options
Our Process
Once Approved, We Schedule the Replacement
When the claim is approved and the scope is finalized, we move into construction planning. This is where the process shifts from paperwork to logistics, and we handle all of it.
Review & Material Selection
We go over the approved scope line by line, then help you select shingles and components that meet the insurer's requirements and your home's specs.
Scheduling
We confirm the build date, arrange material delivery, and coordinate the crew, so you're not chasing anyone for updates the week of the job.
Pre-Installation Prep
We tarp landscaping before tear-off begins. Neighbors' driveways stay clear. The job site is ours to manage. You shouldn't have to think about it.
Step 7
Your Roof Is Installed: One Day, Start to Finish
Tear-Off
Old shingles, damaged decking, and worn flashing come off first. Any decking issues identified during the inspection are addressed before anything goes back on.
Installation
New underlayment, ice-and-water shield at vulnerable areas, step flashing, and shingles, installed to manufacturer specs so the warranty holds.
Cleanup & Walkthrough
We run a magnet sweep over the lawn twice before we leave. Then we walk the finished roof with you. The job isn't done until you've seen it.
Why This Process Matters
Five things that don't change from job to job.
-
Inspection before anything else
No claim guidance until we've seen the roof with our own eyes.
-
Honest damage assessment
We tell you what's covered and what isn't, before you talk to anyone.
-
On-site at the adjuster meeting
We show up so nothing gets underdocumented.
-
One-day installation on most residential roofs
Tear-off to cleanup in a single build day.

What Homeowners Say About Working With Us
Working with PPB Roofs & Restoration was a smooth process from start to finish. Communication was great the entire time, and they kept us updated throughout the project. The crew was professional, on time, and did an excellent job cleaning up afterward. The roof came out great and I’m very impressed. Definitely a company I would recommend to others.
PPB Roof and Restoration were excellent on my roof replacement. They were not high pressure, nor did they try to up-sell on products I didn’t need. Their prices were more than fair. The entire process was easy and very straightforward. They completed our entire roof in one day. David my project manager and AJ the owner were both very helpful and responsive. We are very happy with the results and strongly recommend the company.
Ayden Diaz and Prime Property Builders offered a complimentary inspection of my roof when they were doing some repairs in my neighborhood. They were nice and honest. They did not find much problem with my roof except normal wears and some nail holes. They came back the other day and caulked the holes for free to prevent possible leaking as heavy rains forecasted to come next day! I do appreciate their honest, consideration, and community spirit! I would do business with them in the future.
I was approached by several other roofing companies that did not help with my insurance claim. So, when AJ Diaz stopped by, it was difficult to believe that he would be different. However, he was very knowledgeable about the entire insurance process and about roofing products, so I let him start the process. I am very happy that I did. He walked me through every step of the process and kept me informed of where my claim stood and what I needed to do next. He was on-site during the insurance company inspection and helped me find an independent inspector when my claim went to arbitration. He was happy to take the time to answer all my many many questions. Once my claim was finally approved, he helped me select roofing products that were best for my house, had a good quality guarantee, and the color that I wanted. He was able to explain the difference in the products and how they were installed. So, I feel like I made an informed decision. I also had gutters replaced that made everything look so good with the new roof. See the pictures! AJ was also on-site during the installation and came back afterwards to make sure I was happy. I am so happy by the way everything turned out. I highly recommend him and his company.
I am highly satisfied with the work completed by this company in the Houston area. From initial consultation through project completion, the entire process was managed with professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. What distinguished their service was the level of support provided after the installation. The team remained proactive in their follow-up, ensuring that all aspects of the project were functioning properly and that I was fully satisfied with the outcome. I would confidently recommend their services to anyone in Katy or the greater Houston area seeking high-quality roofing solutions and reliable, customer-focused service.
Extremely happy with the service provided by Ayden and PPB PATIO & ROOF folks. Very reliable and honest. Will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to replace their roof.
