Spring is here and so is the HAIL! And we here from a roofer about what we need to know.

POLITICS ASIDE! Non-permanent residents have until May 25th to buy a home using FHA financing. Without getting political, this is an updated FHA policy stemming from executive actions prioritizing using federal resources for U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents (green card). Non-permanent residents who were previously able to purchase a home with FHA financing, will no longer be able to do so. And it is very possible that Conventional financing will follow suit.

And BIG NEWS we know where the only NEW CONSTRUCTION is happening in RICHARDSON, TEXAS - we have the scoop!
