Repair & Replacement

How do I know if my roof needs repair or full 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.

How long does a typical roof repair take?

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.

Will you tear off the old roof or roof over it?

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.

Is my new roof covered by a warranty?

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.

Will the repaired shingles match my existing roof?

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

What does a roof inspection include?

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

What should I do after storm damage?

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.

Can I see hail damage from the ground?

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.

How can I tell wind damage from normal roof wear?

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.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover hail or wind damage repairs?

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.

Materials & Maintenance

Should I choose shingles, metal, or tile for my home?

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.

What is the difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?

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.

Is metal roofing good for Texas heat?

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.

What maintenance does my home’s roof need?

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.

Why is water pooling on my flat roof?

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.
