Licensed & InsuredNC #85568
Patriots’ Roofing is a GAF President’s Club and Master Elite contractor providing roof replacement, roof repair, and hail and storm insurance claim support in Amarillo and across the Texas Panhandle. We are a fifth-generation, family-owned company founded by the O’Brien family in 1836, headquartered in Lubbock about two hours south on I-27, and we bring the same crews, materials, and warranties to Amarillo that we install at home.
Why Amarillo roofs fail early
Amarillo ranks among the most hail-prone metro areas in the United States, and it is regularly cited as one of the windiest cities in the country. Sitting at roughly 3,600 feet on the open High Plains, roofs here also take intense UV and hard freeze-thaw swings that age shingles faster than the packaging suggests. Add the Panhandle’s well-earned place in tornado alley, and an Amarillo roof needs to be specified and fastened like it is going to be tested, because it will be.
- Hail. Panhandle supercells drop damaging hail most springs and summers. We install Class 4 impact-resistant shingle options engineered to take a hit that would bruise a standard shingle through to the mat.
- Wind. Sustained High Plains wind and violent gust fronts pry at edges, ridges, and rakes year-round. Our installations follow GAF Master Elite fastening specifications, with wind coverage backed by the Golden Pledge warranty on qualifying systems.
- Sun and swing. High-altitude UV plus hundred-degree summer afternoons and single-digit winter nights cycle a roof constantly. Material selection and attic ventilation matter as much here as nail placement.
Hail claims are where we earn our keep
Storm-insurance work is the core of what we do in West Texas. When hail moves through Potter or Randall County, we perform a free photo-documented inspection, mark test squares the way carriers expect to see them, and prepare a written scope your insurer can act on. If your adjuster wants a walkthrough, we are on the roof with them so nothing gets missed, and once the claim is approved we rebuild to code with a full replacement or targeted repairs, whichever the damage actually calls for. Read how the process works on our storm damage and insurance claims page.
An established Texas roofer, not a storm chaser
Every major Amarillo hail event pulls in out-of-town crews that vanish before the first warranty call. We are the opposite: a family company with a permanent West Texas operation and a name we have protected for five generations. We are honest about geography too. Our office is in Lubbock, not Amarillo, so we schedule Panhandle inspections in planned runs up I-27 rather than promising a truck around the corner. What you get in exchange is a contractor who will still answer the phone next year. See what customers say on our reviews page, and ask about financing if you are paying out of pocket rather than through a claim.

From Hailstorm to Approved Claim
Hail damage in Amarillo is rarely obvious from the driveway. Bruised shingles, crushed granules, and dented soft metals hide from the ground, then show up as leaks a season or two later, sometimes after the window to file a claim has closed. The difference between a paid claim and a denied one usually comes down to the quality of the documentation.
That documentation is our specialty. Many Texas carriers also offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, and in a hail market like Amarillo that upgrade tends to pay for itself; we install them and supply the certificate your insurer requires.

Amarillo Roofing FAQ
Do you have an office in Amarillo?
No, and we would rather tell you that up front. Our office is in Lubbock, about two hours south on I-27, and our crews serve Amarillo and the surrounding Panhandle in scheduled runs. For inspections, estimates, and full projects that works smoothly; we simply book Amarillo visits in advance rather than same-hour.
How do I know if hail actually damaged my roof?
From the ground you usually cannot. Hail bruises shingles by crushing granules into the mat, and the damage often is not visible until it leaks. Check soft metals like gutters, downspouts, and AC fins for dents; if those took hits, the shingles likely did too. Our guide on spotting hail damage walks through the signs, and a free documented inspection settles it for certain.
Will insurance pay to replace my hail-damaged roof in Amarillo?
Most Texas homeowner policies cover hail damage, but the outcome depends on your policy terms, your deductible, and how well the damage is documented before you file. We inspect first, document everything with photos and test squares, and give you an honest read on whether a claim is justified before you ever call your carrier. See our storm and insurance claims process for details.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it in Amarillo?
In one of the most hail-prone metros in the country, usually yes. Class 4 shingles resist the bruising that totals standard shingles, and many Texas insurers apply a premium discount when they are installed. We provide the product certificate your carrier needs to apply it.
Is metal roofing a good fit for the Panhandle?
Increasingly so. Standing seam metal sheds hail impacts and handles High Plains wind better than most systems, which is why adoption keeps growing around Amarillo, especially on rural properties and newer builds. We install metal roofing systems and will give you an honest comparison against impact-resistant shingles for your specific home.
Which towns around Amarillo do you serve?
We serve the greater Amarillo area including Canyon, Bushland, Washburn, Panhandle, Claude, Dumas, Borger, Pampa, and Hereford, plus the I-27 corridor towns between Amarillo and Lubbock. If you are anywhere in the Panhandle, request a free estimate and we will schedule a visit.
