TRAVIS VIDAURRI & SCOTT FORREST
TIP TOP ROOFING
Dallas - Fort Worth

It was the last week or so of August. The skies in Ft. Worth were clear, it wasn't overly hot or humid, and I was enjoying sitting in the porch swing on the big front gallery.
My clients were strolling through the home they had under contract, looking one more time at this and that. I was their Buyer's Broker.
In a few minutes the couple who owned and were selling the home joined me. He was a law enforcement officer with bunches of degrees; she was a State Farm Insurance executive who had just been promoted. They were relocating to The Woodlands, a great planned community on Houston's northern edge.
Within what seemed like seconds, Scott Forrest joined us. His firm, Tip Top Roofing, had just completed replacing the house's roof because it had been damaged by a hail storm.
I figured if the State Farm executive had picked Tip Top to do her work, and since Patty and I are 30-year clients of State Farm, the handwriting was on the wall. We needed to have Tip Top come check our Dallas home's to see if our roof had incurred any serious damage from a recent hail storm.
Within a couple of weeks, Scott Forrest, who owns Tip Top, sent his right-hand man, Travis Vidaurri, by to meet with the State Farm adjuster, Shelly Punke. Together they climbed up on, and walked every inch of our roof. The agreement was that we needed the roof and deck replaced, and State Farm would pay the claim.
Within three days, Shelly had sent the full description of the work that State Farm would require Tip Top to do, and with it was a check for about one-half of the claim. State Farm, she said, would send the balance when we notified them that the work had been completed satisfactorily.
A week or so later, Jose Menjivar and his crew arrived and began tearing off the old and putting on the new. Two days after beginning, they were finished.
Because I've been in the real estate industry for so long -- 45 years -- I know more than a casual amount about roof construction. Jose and his crew did a great job.
If you're looking for a home roofer in the Metroplex, I suggest that you visit with Scott and Travis.
