DALLAS, July 9 (UPI) -- A Dallas couple is praying for dry weather after an errant team of roofers stripped their shingles.

Shingles at 2813 Grand Canyon Court were accidentally removed by workers who had been hired to replace the roof at 2813 Black Canyon Drive, a block away, the Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday.

Lisa Duncan said her first response when she arrived home was to ask the workers: "What have you done to my house?"

She wondered if her husband had decided to add on the room they had discussed, maybe as a surprise, but a phone call to her husband eliminated that possibility.

The Duncans contacted police, although no charges were filed since there was no evidence of criminal intent.

An insurance adjuster valued the loss at $6,300 but the Duncan's claim has been denied pending litigation.
