Plano is one of the largest suburbs north of Dallas, stretching from the Richardson city limits north along US-75, the Dallas North Tollway, and the Bush Turnpike. Most of the city lies in Collin County, with a small part in Dallas County. Its neighborhoods are mostly suburban subdivisions of brick two-story and single-story homes, many governed by HOAs, along with newer residential areas, apartment communities, and major corporate campuses. If you need a public adjuster in Plano, TX, we can help you document hail, wind, or water damage and present a complete claim.
We represent policyholders only, serving Dallas, Dallas County, and surrounding North Texas communities, including Plano, Richardson, and Carrollton. We do not have a physical office; we come to the property.
Plano weather risks and nearby NOAA reports
Plano shares the North Texas hail season, which in Dallas County peaks in April and May with a long March-to-June season and a smaller bump in October. Because our storm history covers Dallas County only, it captures storms along Plano's southern edge and in neighboring Richardson rather than the whole city. NOAA's NCEI Storm Events Database files Collin County reports separately. Relevant nearby entries include:
- June 11, 2003: thunderstorm winds blew down power lines on the south side of Plano near the Richardson city limits.
- May 28, 2024: a NWS survey found winds up to 90 mph in part of Richardson, just south of Plano, with trees uprooted and roofs and fences damaged across that city.
- September 24, 2023: hail of 1 to 2 inches was reported near Plano Rd. and Belt Line Rd., south of Plano.
- April 27, 2026: a 1.75-inch hailstone was measured in Richardson.

Plano homes and the claims they produce
Suburban subdivisions
Many Plano homes have brick veneer, composition shingle roofs, and wood or composite fencing. Two-story homes with multiple gables, valleys, and dormers mean more roof area, more flashing, and higher labor costs per square. Hail can bruise shingles and dent gutters, vents, and garage doors, while wind lifts tabs along ridges and edges. Our hail damage claims and roof damage claims pages explain what to document.
HOA standards and matching
HOA rules may specify roofing colors, styles, or fence designs. When damaged materials are discontinued, matching questions can affect how much must be replaced. Document the existing materials and keep any HOA guidelines handy for the claim.
Commercial and corporate properties
Offices, retail centers, and apartment communities often have low-slope roofs, rooftop mechanical units, and large glass areas. Hail and wind damage to these systems can be hard to see from the ground and expensive to repair. Learn about commercial property claims.
Freeze and water damage
Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 brought single-digit lows to the region, and pipes in attics and exterior walls can burst in any hard freeze, causing serious interior damage. See freeze damage claims and water damage claims.
Permits in Plano
The City of Plano has its own building inspection and permit office, separate from the City of Dallas, and its rules apply on both sides of the county line. Confirm permit requirements before roofing or structural work begins. Code-required upgrades are generally paid only under ordinance or law coverage, up to its limit. See our local building codes guide.
Checking your Plano policy before storm season
A few minutes with your declarations page can prevent surprises later. Look for the wind/hail deductible, which is often a percentage of the dwelling limit; whether your roof is covered at replacement cost or actual cash value; any cosmetic-damage exclusion; and your ordinance or law limit. Our claim calculator can help you estimate how a percentage deductible affects a payment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does your storm history show so few Plano reports?
Our storm history covers Dallas County, and Plano is mostly in Collin County, with only a small part in Dallas County. NOAA files Collin County reports separately, so our data shows storms along Plano's southern edge and in neighboring Richardson rather than a full record for the city.
My Plano HOA requires a specific shingle. Will insurance pay for it?
Insurance generally pays for materials of like kind and quality to what was damaged. If your roof already meets HOA standards, the estimate should reflect that material. HOA requirements alone do not obligate the insurer to pay for an upgrade, so compare the existing roof with what the estimate specifies.
Do I need a City of Plano permit for a new roof?
Plano has its own building inspection and permit office, and roofing and structural repairs often require permits. Confirm requirements with the City of Plano before work begins.
My insurer says the hail damage is cosmetic. What does that mean?
Some policies include cosmetic-damage exclusions, most often for metal roofing or metal components, that exclude dents not affecting function. Whether one applies depends on your policy wording. Ask for the exact language relied on and have the damage evaluated carefully.
How much does a public adjuster charge?
Fees are disclosed in a written contract before any work begins; Texas law caps public adjuster compensation at 10% of the insurance settlement. You may rescind within 72 hours of signing.
