Repair & Replacement
It comes down to the extent of damage and roof age. Isolated damage on a roof under ~20 years old is usually repairable. Widespread damage, recurring leaks, or shingles past their lifespan point to replacement. Our free inspection gives you an honest recommendation backed by our findings.
Most common repairs — shingle replacement, flashing fixes, leak sealing — are completed in a few hours to a single day. Larger multi-area repairs may take two days. You will get a clear timeline with your estimate.
We perform a full tear-off as our standard practice. Removing the old roofing lets us inspect and repair the decking underneath and install the new system exactly as it should be — with nothing failing hidden below.
Our workmanship is backed by our workmanship warranty. Roofing materials also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by product — ask us and we will explain exactly what applies to the material you choose.
We match replacement shingles as closely as possible in color and style. Keep in mind that sun-faded older shingles may differ slightly from new ones — we will show you the match before we install.
Costs & Estimates
It depends on the size and scope of the repair — every project is different. We provide free, itemized written estimates before any work begins, and we will walk you through every detail when you call (972) 853-6474.
It depends on your roof’s size, pitch, material choice, and condition — published averages cannot account for your specific roof. Every project gets a free, itemized estimate based on an on-site inspection.
Call (972) 853-6474 or fill out the estimate form on our contact page. We will schedule your free inspection, then send a clear itemized written estimate. No obligation, no pressure.
Our free inspection covers shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, and the attic underside. We check for leaks, storm damage, wear, and ventilation issues — then give you an honest written report with repair or replacement recommendations.
Storm, Hail & Insurance
First, stay safe — do not climb on the roof yourself. Document visible damage with photos, then call us for a free storm damage inspection. We assess everything and provide a thorough written inspection report you can share with your insurer.
Usually not. Hail bruises shingles beneath the surface and causes granule loss that looks like normal wear from the street. A hands-on, up-close inspection is the only reliable way to know what the hail did.

Wind damage looks sudden and directional: creased or folded shingle tabs, broken seal strips, missing shingles, and shingles found in the yard — usually appearing right after a storm. Normal wear is gradual and even. Our free inspection documents exactly what is storm-related and what is age-related.

Many homeowner policies cover sudden hail and wind damage, but coverage details vary by policy — no roofer can guarantee what your insurer will cover. Our written inspection report documents all damage we find, which you can share with your insurer. Note: Texas law prohibits contractors from waiving your deductible.
Yes. We document hail and wind damage thoroughly with a detailed written inspection report to support your claim.
Yes. Our emergency line is answered around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays. If your roof is damaged and your home is exposed, call us any time.
Materials & Maintenance
It depends on your budget, your home’s style, and your priorities. Architectural shingles offer the best value for most Dallas homes. Metal resists heat and storms exceptionally well with a distinctive look. We lay out honest trade-offs for your specific house during your free inspection.
Metal roofing → Shingle roofing →
Architectural shingles are thicker and multi-layered, with a dimensional look and better wind resistance — our recommendation for most DFW homes. 3-tab shingles are flat, single-layer, and more affordable.
Yes — it is one of the best choices. Reflective coated panels bounce solar heat away instead of absorbing it, which helps keep the roof surface and attic cooler through Dallas summers.
Keep gutters clear, trim back overhanging branches, and have the roof inspected after major hail or wind events. We recommend a professional check every couple of years so small issues get caught early — our inspections are free.
Ponding usually means inadequate slope to drains, clogged drains or scuppers, or structural sagging. Standing water accelerates membrane and seam failure, so it is worth addressing promptly — our inspection identifies the cause and the fix.
