Mindflow works from one place: Atlanta, Georgia. There is no Mindflow office in Dallas-Fort Worth and no address for us here, because none exists. This is a market we serve rather than a market we sit in. Our one real location is here.
- 602 hail reports across Dallas and Tarrant in ten years, 164 of them in 2024
- That counts reports rather than storms and carries no loss data
- HB 2102 governs the wording of any insurance-funded contract over $1,000
- Dallas city is 41.3% detached; the metro is 62.6%
What 602 hail events prove, and what they do not
Counted directly from the NOAA bulk files, Dallas County logged 186 hail events and Tarrant County 416 across 2015 to 2024. Of those, 147 and 330 were an inch or larger, and 35 and 86 reached 1.75 inches or more. The largest stone recorded was 5.00 inches, in Tarrant in 2023.
The trend is steep. 2023 and 2024 account for 42% of Dallas County's decade total and 39% of Tarrant's, and Tarrant's 106 events in 2024 is the highest single county-year in the record by a wide margin.
Three things that count is not, and a roofing company that quotes it without these is quoting something it cannot defend. It is reports rather than storms, so one supercell crossing a county produces many rows. It carries no insured loss or claim figure, so it cannot support a revenue estimate. And report density tracks population and spotter coverage, so part of the Tarrant-to-Dallas gap is observation rather than weather.
Counted the honest way, as distinct days on which hail was reported, Tarrant saw 80 and Dallas 61 across the decade, and the DFW counties together recorded hail on 157 separate dates, 133 of them with stones of an inch or more. The full county-by-county workings are in our Texas hail compilation. Useful for seasonality and for arguing urgency. Useless as a demand forecast.
No licence, and a statute aimed squarely at storm chasing
Texas does not license roofing contractors, and after a hail season this market fills with companies that arrived for it. Entry is free; differentiation has to come from somewhere else.
House Bill 2102, effective 1 September 2019, is the constraint that bites hardest here. Any contract reasonably expected to be paid wholly or partly from property insurance proceeds, at $1,000 or more, requires a statutory notice in 12-point boldfaced type. Knowingly helping an insured pay or avoid a deductible is a Class B misdemeanor.
In a market with 602 logged hail events in a decade, most roofing work is insurance work, which means most roofing contracts here are inside that statute. “We'll cover your deductible” is a criminal exposure rather than an offer, and it still appears in DFW advertising.
A metro whose city core inverts the metro average
The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro reads as a classic suburban roofing market: median year built 1993, 62.6% single-family detached, 60.1% owner-occupied.
The city of Dallas inverts almost all of it, at median year built 1981, detached share 41.3% and owner-occupancy 42.4%. Fort Worth sits closer to the metro pattern at 1994, 64.8% and 57.0%.
Targeting that treats DFW as one audience will spend suburban budget against urban inventory. The re-roof sold to an owner-occupier lives in the ring, and the city core runs through landlords and managers.
This page covers roofing specifically. The wider market picture for this city, covering climate, housing stock, storm exposure and which body issues the permit, sits on the Dallas-Fort Worth market page, and the state rules are on the Texas page.
Every figure on this page has a source and a date
What is missing is deliberate: no cost per lead, no conversion rate, no local benchmark. Those move by market and season, and any number published here would be wrong by the time you read it. Your own account holds the real one, and our calculators do the arithmetic once you have it.
We publish the complete measurement protocol before you pay anything: the six-layer audit, the sampling method, a real report with the numbers left in. No ranking guarantees.
Fair questions about roofing in Dallas-Fort Worth
Is DFW the hail capital people claim it is?
The counts support high and rising frequency, with Tarrant County logging 106 events in 2024. They do not support any specific damage or claim figure, and part of the county-to-county gap reflects reporting density rather than weather.
Can I offer to cover a customer's deductible?
No. Knowingly helping an insured pay or avoid a deductible is a Class B misdemeanor under the 2019 amendments. Any waive, absorb, cover or rebate language is a criminal exposure.
What notice does an insurance job need?
A statutory notice in 12-point boldfaced type, on any contract of $1,000 or more reasonably expected to be paid wholly or partly from property insurance proceeds.
