The deductible is supposed to be paid to the contractor. This has always been the case but a new law (HB2102) went into effect in September 2019 enforcing that contractors collect the deductible. The Law even requires that contractors include this paragraph in the agreements.
“Texas law requires a person insured under a property insurance policy to pay any deductible applicable to a claim made under the policy. It is a violation of this Texas law for a person or business paid wholly or partly from proceeds of a property insurance claim to knowingly allow the insured person to fail to pay. Or assist the insured person’s failure to pay, the applicable insurance deductible. See SECTION 2. Business & Commerce Code, is amended to read as follows: Section 27.02. “Goods or Services Paid for by Insurance Proceeds: Payment of Deductible Required”

Ideally you want to install a roof in good weather. The 2 extremes you want too avoid are installing your roof in weather under 40º or on a very hot summer day. While there is no true roof installation season, spring to summer is a great time for roofing. Shingles need a hot day so they can properly seal, so don’t shy away from installing shingles on a hot summer day. With that said, be mindful that the roof crew will usually come off the roof between peak hot time of the day to keep the shingles safe from mechanical damage. *NOTE: It is definitely not a good idea to install a roof on a rainy day. At Restore Roofing & Remodeling we use the latest technology to help us predict weather conditions well in advance for scheduling.
