Roof repair Dallas homeowners can check in photos before they pay

Dallas roofs sit on older homes

Dallas is the largest city we serve, with about 1.3 million people. The median home here was built in 1981, per Census data.

That makes Dallas housing older than Plano, Frisco or Fort Worth. An older house can still have a young roof, so we judge the roof by photos and not by the home's age.

Only 42.4% of Dallas homes are owner-occupied. We work for those owners, and we start with north and east Dallas ZIP codes.

What we repair

Most repair calls come down to water getting in where it should not. We look for the source, not only the stain on the ceiling.

• Leaks. We trace the leak to where water enters the roof.
• Flashing. The metal around chimneys, walls and valleys.
• Pipe boots and vents. Small parts that seal the openings in a roof.
• Ridge caps. The shingles along the peak.
• Missing or lifted shingles. Often found after wind.
• Soft decking. The wood under the shingles.

How a Dallas repair visit works

1. You book. Book an inspection or call the number on this page. The inspection is at no charge.
2. We inspect and photograph. We photograph every slope, plus flashing, vents, pipe boots, ridge caps and any soft decking.
3. We walk you through the photos. You see what we found before we recommend anything.
4. You get a free written estimate. Each repair item is its own line. No lump sums.
5. We check the city rule. We confirm the permit question with the City of Dallas before work starts.
6. We make the repair and photograph it. You get photos of the finished work.

You keep the photo report whether or not you hire us. See a sample inspection report to know what to expect.

Dallas permit and registration notes

Dallas has its own rules, and they are not the same as the suburbs. The city requires contractors to register before they can pull permits.

The city's development guide says a permit is required when roofing work exceeds $500. We have not verified the code text behind that line, so we confirm it with the city for each job.

Hail in Dallas County

Dallas County logs fewer hail reports than Collin, Denton or Tarrant, but it is not spared. From 2015 through September 2026, the National Weather Service logged 189 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger here.

The pattern swings from year to year. The county had 7 such reports in 2022 and 48 in 2023. Through late September 2026 it had 28.

Across the five-county area, March through June holds about 89% of those reports. If your leak showed up after a spring storm, tell us the date when you call.

For storm damage, see our hail and storm damage page.

You file the claim. Your insurer decides coverage and the amount. We build the roof.

Repair or replace?

We do not answer that from the driveway. We answer it with photos.

A repair fits when the damage is in one area and the surrounding roof is sound. A replacement fits when the problems are spread across the slopes.

If we recommend replacement, you can read about roof replacement and published ranges first. Nothing goes on your quote without a photo behind it.

What you pay and when

Roof repair is quoted by free estimate. Your estimate is written and itemized, so you can compare it with any other.

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

No payment is due until materials are delivered and work begins.
