Local Context
Hail in Richardson, TX — and Why Erie Sees So Many Claims Here
Richardson built the original 'Telecom Corridor' and now anchors a tech employer base around CityLine, UT Dallas and the Bush Turnpike.
Richardson saw widespread hail damage during the March 2016 'Hailpocalypse' that hit the Telecom Corridor head-on. That kind of event drops a wave of Erie comprehensive claims across Dallas/Collin, and Max Exteriors PDR is the local shop handling them with PDR-first repair.
We work hail jobs across Telecom Corridor, Canyon Creek, Heights Park, Cottonwood Heights, Reservation, Prairie Creek and the rest of Richardson — mobile when we can, shop pickup when the damage warrants.

Erie Hail Claim FAQs — Richardson, TX
Will Erie Insurance raise my rates after a Richardson hail claim?
No. Hail damage is filed under comprehensive coverage as an Act of God claim in Texas. Erie does not surcharge Richardson 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/Collin 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 Richardson?
In almost every case, only your deductible — typically $500–$1,000 comprehensive. The full hail repair cost on a Richardson-sized hailstorm almost always exceeds the deductible by several thousand dollars.
How long does a Erie hail claim take in Richardson?
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 Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson, or do I bring the vehicle to Dallas?
Both. We run mobile PDR across Richardson (Telecom Corridor, Canyon Creek, Heights Park) for smaller claims, and offer free pickup and drop-off for larger hail claims that need shop equipment.
