Yes, We Drive Up To Anna
Straight answer first: Anna is about thirty miles north of Rockwall as the crow flies, and more like forty-plus miles and close to an hour by road. That is a real drive, so we schedule Anna inspections properly instead of squeezing them in. What you get for it is a family-owned roofer that has been doing this since 1995.
Anna has turned into one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. The 2010 census counted about 8,200 people; by 2020 it was nearly 17,000, and the latest estimates put it past 35,000. Most of those people live in houses that did not exist fifteen years ago, in new phases like the Villages of Hurricane Creek off US-75 and FM 455. Meanwhile the original town, platted on the railroad in 1883, still has its 1885 depot and the old Sherley hardware store downtown.
So the roofs here are mostly young, and mostly the same age. That makes for a predictable set of problems, which is good news, because predictable problems are the cheap ones to catch. We climb up, take pictures of what is there, and tell you plainly what the roof needs, including when the answer is nothing.
Local conditions
What Anna Roofs Have To Deal With
Most of Anna’s housing is new, and new roofs do not fail the way old ones do. They fail at the details, at the edges, and all at the same time across a neighbourhood. Here is what we look for on a roof up here.
- Whole streets built in one go. When a phase of a subdivision goes up in a couple of years, every roof on the street shares the same shingle, the same crew habits and the same birthday. If one starts showing a problem, the neighbours tend to follow.
- Builder-grade installs. Production building is fast, and speed shows up at pipe boots, step flashing where a roof meets a wall, and starter strips along the eaves. Those are small parts, and they are where most leaks on young roofs actually begin.
- Not much shelter yet. New phases are carved out of open farmland, so the trees are saplings and there is little standing between a roof and a north wind. The rakes and the ridge cap take the punishment first.
- Hail you cannot see from the yard. North Texas hail rarely punches through. It knocks granules loose and cracks the mat underneath, and the shingle keeps looking fine for a season or two while the damage works on it.
- Attics that run hot. Bigger plans with complicated rooflines are easy to under-ventilate. Heat that cannot get out of the attic cooks the shingles from below and shortens their life well before the label says it should.
- An older core around downtown. The streets near the depot and the old town have houses from long before the growth, some with more than one layer of roofing and decking that has seen a few decades of weather.
How the job runs
What Happens After You Call
Because Anna is a longer drive for us, every step is planned so nobody sits waiting on a truck. Here is the sequence, phone call to final sweep.
1
Free Inspection
We book a time, climb up, take pictures of every problem on the roof, and say whether it is a repair, a replacement, or nothing yet.
2
Written Estimate
Scope and price in writing, with your shingle and colour options. That figure stands unless hidden rot turns up beneath the old roof.
3
Scheduling & Approvals
We pick a date and order materials. If your neighbourhood has an HOA that approves shingle colours, we help you get that paperwork in early so it does not hold up the start.
4
Tear-Off & Install
Old shingles off, decking inspected, soft boards replaced, then the new shingles, underlayment and flashing are installed. Most Anna houses wrap up inside two working days; a larger or more complicated roof can run longer, and you will know which before we begin.
5
Cleanup & Walkthrough
Magnets get dragged over the driveway, flower beds and lawn to pick up stray nails. Then you get a walk round the new roof, and both warranties are registered before we leave.
Two kinds of starting point
Still In The Builder Years, Or Past Them?
In Anna, the age of the house decides who you should call first. A brand-new home and one that has a few summers behind it need different first steps.
If the house is only a few years old…
- Check your builder's warranty paperwork first. If a leak comes from how the roof was installed, the builder may owe you that fix.
- Storm damage is different. Hail and wind are not an installation defect, so that conversation is with your insurer, not the builder.
- We will still come out, document what we find with photos, and tell you which of those two situations you are in.
- Small details like a lifted pipe boot or loose flashing are usually quick repairs, not a reason for a new roof.
Usually a fix-it-early job, not a replacement.
If it is past the builder years…
- The repairs are yours now, so catching small problems early matters more than it did.
- A roof that has been through several hail seasons deserves a proper look, even if nothing is leaking yet.
- On older homes near downtown, we check for extra layers and soft decking before anybody prices a job.
- When repairs start stacking up on a tired roof, we will show you why replacing it is the better spend.
Usually a judgement call we make with you on the roof.
Whichever side you are on, the inspection costs you nothing. When a repair will do, a repair is what goes in the estimate, and you will get no sales pressure toward a full roof you do not need.

When hail comes through
Help With The Insurance Process, Done Properly
When a storm rolls across Collin County, every roof in a new subdivision gets hit at once, and the phones start ringing. Here is the part we play and the part we stay out of. We are roofers, not adjusters and not attorneys. We deal with the roof and the work it needs; questions of coverage are for your insurer.
- An inspection with evidence. We photograph granule loss, cracked or creased shingles and dented metal, and note the storm date while people still remember it clearly.
- Contractor of record, if you want one. Name us as your contractor of record and the adjuster calls us, not you. We are there in person when they climb up to look.
- Scope of work, not policy. Code and the manufacturer's instructions spell out what a correct repair includes, so that is what we point to, and if the approved scope falls short we send in a supplement.
- A straight verdict. If the roof does not show enough to support a claim, you hear it from us before you spend an afternoon on the phone.

These guys are top notch. In all our years of dealing with various contractors, I was expecting yet another terrible experience, especially with a huge price tag for a new roof. That was not the case with Bacon Roofing.

Our house was hit by a strong hail storm and I needed a new roof. I did not even hesitate to think of anyone else but John Bacon and his company to put my roof on my home.

Common questions
Anna Roofing FAQs
Anna is a long way from Rockwall. Will you really come?
Yes. It is around forty to forty-five miles by road from Rockwall and a bit less from our Rowlett office, so we plan Anna inspections ahead rather than promising to be there in twenty minutes. If you need someone the same hour, we will tell you that honestly.
My home is brand new. Should I call you or my builder?
If a leak comes from how the roof was put on, check your builder’s warranty first, because that fix may be theirs to make. Hail and wind damage are a different matter, and that is an insurance question. We are happy to inspect either way, take photos, and work out which of the two you are dealing with so you call the right people.
Does my HOA have to approve a new roof?
Many newer neighbourhoods have rules about shingle style and colour, so check your HOA documents before anything is ordered. We put the exact product and colour on paper for your application, and the job date waits until the approval comes back.
All the roofs on my street are the same age. Does that matter?
It does. When a whole phase is built at once, the roofs tend to wear out together and share the same weak spots, because they were installed with the same materials by the same crews. If your neighbours are having leaks or getting new roofs after a storm, it is worth having yours looked at too, even if it seems fine.
How can I tell if hail hurt my roof?
Usually you cannot from the ground. Hail knocks the protective granules off and cracks the mat beneath the shingle, and the damage stays invisible from the lawn for months. Clues you can spot yourself: dark granule grit washing out of the downspouts, small dings in the gutters and vent tops, and flattened fins on the outdoor AC unit. A roof inspection settles it.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
We help you navigate the process. Once we are your contractor of record, the adjuster talks to us, we join them up on the roof, and our dated photos go in the file. We keep the conversation on the scope of work, as code and the manufacturer’s instructions define it. We are roofers, not adjusters or attorneys; coverage questions are for your insurer.
Is the inspection really free, even this far out?
Yes. There is no charge for the inspection and no obligation after it. The drive is our cost, not yours. Plenty of Anna visits finish with us confirming the roof is fine for now and heading home.
Which other towns near Anna do you serve?
Closer to our base we cover Rockwall, Rowlett, Heath, Royse City, Fate, Wylie, Lavon, Sachse and Garland, and plenty of places in between.
