"Storm chasers" try to capitalize after hail causes damage
North Texas saw a big hail storm in the early morning hours on Wednesday, with softball-sized hail falling in parts of Coppell and Carrollton. Golf-ball-sized hail fell in Arlington and Irving. Frisco and Farmers Branch were hit too.
The City of Carrollton sent out a release to its residents Wednesday to remind them to be vigilant when it comes to roofers walking door-to-door in the aftermath of a June 6 hail storm that caused significant damage.
The Better Business Bureau suggested that homeowners contact their insurance companies before agreeing to a deal with any roofing company.

Weather pictures from June 6 overnight storm Heard these knocking on our door so i opened it up. Saw lots of pea to penny size hail but a few were at least golf ball size. Pretty magnificent but also an interesting beginning to this summer.

Coppell with 2 inch hail at 2:30 AM we had 2 inch hail hitting our house and cars. Two of our cars have broken windshields now. It sounded like a tornado was coming through with how hard the hail was hitting our house. Coppell, Sandylake and MacArthur.

It also said that "storm chasers" often try to take advantage of residents by offering deals that will only be available at that moment.
Other tips offered in the release included getting references from friends and relatives, checking the credentials of door-to-door contractors and being mindful when getting work done on areas of a home that can be hard to see.
