Local Context
Hail in Lancaster, TX — and Why Erie Sees So Many Claims Here
Lancaster is one of the oldest settlements in Dallas County, with a restored 1857 Town Square and a booming logistics corridor along I-35E.
South Dallas County, including Lancaster, was hit by 1.75" hail in the March 2024 storms that overwhelmed local body shops. That kind of event drops a wave of Erie comprehensive claims across Dallas County, and Max Exteriors PDR is the local shop handling them with PDR-first repair.
We work hail jobs across Historic Town Square, Country Club Estates, Lancaster Crossing, Northridge, Hardin Acres, Bluegrove and the rest of Lancaster — mobile when we can, shop pickup when the damage warrants.

Erie Hail Claim FAQs — Lancaster, TX
Will Erie Insurance raise my rates after a Lancaster hail claim?
No. Hail damage is filed under comprehensive coverage as an Act of God claim in Texas. Erie does not surcharge Lancaster policyholders for comprehensive claims.
Does Erie approve paintless dent repair?
Yes. PDR is the recognized standard for hail repair when the factory paint is intact. Erie adjusters in Dallas County routinely write PDR estimates — and we provide the matrix and photos they expect.
How much will I pay out-of-pocket on a Erie hail claim in Lancaster?
In almost every case, only your deductible — typically $500–$1,000 comprehensive. The full hail repair cost on a Lancaster-sized hailstorm almost always exceeds the deductible by several thousand dollars.
How long does a Erie hail claim take in Lancaster?
Erie's typical approval window is 5–10 business days after we submit a complete photo packet. The PDR repair itself usually takes 2–5 working days depending on hail count and panel access.
Should I use a Erie network shop in Lancaster or Max Exteriors PDR?
Texas law guarantees your right to choose any licensed shop — Erie cannot require you to use a network shop. We're chosen by Lancaster drivers because we specialize in PDR rather than full-service collision, which is a better fit for hail damage where paint is intact.
Do you come to Lancaster, or do I bring the vehicle to Dallas?
Both. We run mobile PDR across Lancaster (Historic Town Square, Country Club Estates, Lancaster Crossing) for smaller claims, and offer free pickup and drop-off for larger hail claims that need shop equipment.
