Roof Repair in Dallas-Fort Worth

Who roof repair is for

Roof repair is for a roof that has a specific problem and is otherwise sound. A leak over one room is a common example. So is a problem at a vent or a section of flashing.

It is also for homeowners who were told they need a whole new roof and want a second look. We photograph the roof and show you what is there. Then the photos decide, not a sales pitch.

If the photos show damage across the whole roof, we will say so. In that case we quote a roof replacement in writing. You still keep the photo report.

We repair asphalt shingle roofs on single-family homes in Dallas-Fort Worth. We do not take on commercial roofing.

What we check and do, step by step

1. You call or book online. We call you back within 15 minutes, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday through Friday Tell us where the leak or problem is.
2. Free photo inspection. We photograph every slope, plus flashing, vents, pipe boots, ridge caps and any soft decking.
3. We walk you through the photos. We show you what we found before we recommend anything.
4. Free written estimate. Your estimate lists every material and labor line in writing. No lump sums.
5. You decide. Your written quote is price-locked for 30 days from the date on it.
6. Permit check. Permit rules differ by city. We pull the roofing permit wherever your city requires one for the work.
7. We make the repair. No payment is due until materials are delivered and work begins.
8. You get photos of the finished repair. You can see the work without climbing a ladder.

If you have an active leak

Call us instead of waiting on a form. (214) 974-3591 reaches us directly. Tell us which room the leak is in and when it started.

Stay off the roof, especially when it is wet. Take photos of any water stains inside if you can do it safely. Those photos help us find the source faster.

Materials and options

We repair the same parts of the roof that we photograph on every inspection. Each one is a place where water can get in.

Shingles

Wind and hail can damage shingles on one slope and leave the others alone. When the damage is limited, we replace the affected shingles. The photos show you which ones and why.

Flashing

Flashing is the metal that seals the joints where the roof meets a wall or chimney. We photograph it on every inspection. If it has failed, the photo shows where.

Vents and pipe boots

Vents and pipe boots are the seals around the pipes and openings in your roof. We check each one. A failed seal is a small repair that can stop a leak.

Ridge caps

Ridge caps are the shingles along the peak of the roof. We photograph the full ridge line and repair what is damaged.

Soft decking

Decking is the wood under your shingles. If we find a soft spot, we photograph it. Decking is replaced only if it is rotted, and you see the photo before we replace it.

Repair or replace?

This is the question behind many repair calls. Our answer is always the same. We show you the photos first.

If a repair solves the problem, we quote the repair. If the roof needs more, we quote that in writing and show you the evidence. If we cannot show photo evidence for a recommended item, it comes off the quote.

The proof you get

A repair is a small job, but it still earns full proof. You get the photo report, a written estimate and photos of the finished work.

What a roof repair costs

We do not publish a repair price, because every repair is different. Roof repair is a free estimate. You get the number in writing, line by line, before any work starts.

Here is what you can count on:

• The inspection is free. You keep the photo report whether or not you hire us.
• The estimate is free. There is no charge to find out what the repair costs.
• Every line is listed. Materials and labor appear as separate lines.
• The price holds. Written quotes are price-locked for 30 days.
• Nothing is due early. No payment is due until materials are delivered and work begins.

Texas does not tax labor on residential roof work. On our standard lump-sum residential contracts, the price you see is the price you pay.

Roof leak repair after a storm

Some leaks start with a storm. Hail season here runs mostly from March through June, based on National Weather Service reports.

If your leak started after hail or high wind, tell us when you call. We inspect and document storm damage with photos and measurements. Our hail and storm damage page explains that visit.

Some storm repairs involve an insurance claim. The roles are simple. You file the claim. Your insurer decides coverage and the amount. We build the roof.

We give you a written, itemized estimate you can share with your insurer. Read how the process works on our insurance claims page.

Permits for roof repair

Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level. Each city sets its own permit rules, and they differ for repairs.

Here are three examples from city sources:

• Carrollton does not require a roofing permit unless deck or sheathing is replaced.
• Richardson requires a permit when work is above 25% of the roof area.
• Arlington requires a permit when work is above 10% of the roof area.

We check the rule for your city and the size of your repair. We pull the permit wherever one is required.

How to compare repair estimates

A second estimate is a good idea, and ours is built to be compared. Use these questions with any roofer:

1. Can you show me a photo of each problem you found?
2. Is the estimate in writing, with each line listed?
3. How long is the price good for?
4. When is payment due?
5. Will I get photos of the finished repair?

If you sign a contract at your home, Texas law lets you cancel until midnight of the third business day. Your contract includes the cancellation form.
