Learn MoreFiling Your Claim
Call (214) 399-9385 first. We'll inspect your DeSoto vehicle, document every hail dent, and prep the photo packet Travelers adjusters need to approve the file the first time.
We deliver a panel-by-panel paintless dent repair matrix with high-resolution photos — formatted exactly the way Travelers writes hail estimates in Dallas County.
Travelers favors thorough, photo-rich documentation — we deliver a full PDR matrix the first time so the file moves through their claims platform without supplement rework. We file supplements for any hidden damage and keep you out of the back-and-forth entirely.
Your vehicle is restored with paintless dent repair that preserves factory paint. We bill Travelers directly — typical out-of-pocket: your $500–$1,000 comprehensive deductible and nothing more.
DeSoto homeowners want their daily drivers and family SUVs kept showroom-fresh, which is exactly what paintless dent repair is built for. For Travelers policyholders specifically, that means a documented PDR estimate, a clean supplement when hidden damage shows up, and direct billing to Travelers so you only ever cover your deductible.
Travelers payout style: Shop direct deposit or two-party check; supplements paid inside the original claim.
Local Context
DeSoto is one of the original Best Southwest cities — a tight-knit Dallas County suburb known for its tree-lined neighborhoods and strong school district.
The March 2024 storm system that ripped through southern Dallas County left noticeable hail damage across DeSoto's Polo Run and Thorntree neighborhoods. That kind of event drops a wave of Travelers comprehensive claims across Dallas County, and Max Exteriors PDR is the local shop handling them with PDR-first repair.
We work hail jobs across Thorntree, Polo Run, Town Center, Eagle Pointe, DeSoto West, Northeast DeSoto and the rest of DeSoto — mobile when we can, shop pickup when the damage warrants.
We've tuned our PDR matrices and Travelers supplement templates to the vehicles that fill Thorntree Country Club and Town Center parking lots and Thorntree driveways.

No. Hail damage is filed under comprehensive coverage as an Act of God claim in Texas. Travelers does not surcharge DeSoto policyholders for comprehensive claims.
Yes. PDR is the recognized standard for hail repair when the factory paint is intact. Travelers adjusters in Dallas County routinely write PDR estimates — and we provide the matrix and photos they expect.
In almost every case, only your deductible — typically $500–$1,000 comprehensive. The full hail repair cost on a DeSoto-sized hailstorm almost always exceeds the deductible by several thousand dollars.
Travelers'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.
Texas law guarantees your right to choose any licensed shop — Travelers cannot require you to use a network shop. We're chosen by DeSoto drivers because we specialize in PDR rather than full-service collision, which is a better fit for hail damage where paint is intact.
Both. We run mobile PDR across DeSoto (Thorntree, Polo Run, Town Center) for smaller claims, and offer free pickup and drop-off for larger hail claims that need shop equipment.
Free inspection, full Travelers claim handling, direct billing, lifetime warranty. Call Max Exteriors PDR — the DeSoto PDR shop Travelers policyholders trust.
*Out-of-pocket on most Travelers comprehensive hail claims is just your deductible.
