A big city, so we start where we can serve well
Dallas has 1,307,930 residents. No roofing company can be everywhere in a city that size on day one. So we are plain about our plan.
Our launch focus is north and east Dallas. That includes Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, Lakewood, Far North Dallas and Casa Linda. We take calls from other parts of the city and tell you honestly when we can come.
North Dallas also connects to the rest of our market. It borders Richardson, Carrollton and Irving, which we serve too. Addison is in our service area as well.
What Dallas homes have in common
The median Dallas home was built in 1981, per Census ACS 2020-2024 data. It is the oldest housing among the cities we serve. That home is 45 years old.
The median home value is $320,700. Owners live in 42.4% of homes, so many houses are rentals.
A 45-year-old house has had several roofs. The one on it now could be 2 years old or 22. Dallas roofers cannot tell you which from the street, and neither can we.
So we look. We photograph every slope, plus flashing, vents, pipe boots, ridge caps and any soft decking. You get the photo report whether or not you hire us.
Roof repair or roof replacement in Dallas
Start with the smaller job
If the photos show one problem area, we quote a repair. Our roof repair in Dallas page explains how repair estimates work. They are free and written.
Replace when the whole roof is worn
When every slope shows wear, a roof replacement is the sounder spend. The quote is itemized line by line. An item with no photo evidence comes off.
Our roof replacement cost guide lists the published DFW ranges. The price block on this page shows them too.
City of Dallas rules: what we know and what we check
Dallas requires contractors to register with the city before pulling permits. We have not verified the current registration fee on a city source.
For re-roofs, the city's development guide says a permit is required when roofing work exceeds $500. We have not verified the code text behind that guide. So we confirm the requirement with the city before work starts.
Neighboring cities differ.
Richardson uses a 25% roof-area line. Carrollton exempts shingle-only work. A Dallas address follows Dallas rules.
Hail in Dallas County since 2015
The National Weather Service logged 189 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger in Dallas County. That count runs from 2015 through September 2026.
By year, the recent record looks like this:
- 2021: 18 reports
- 2022: 7 reports
- 2023: 48 reports
- 2024: 20 reports
- 2025: 18 reports
- 2026, through September 27: 28 reports
Two things stand out. First, 2026 was an active year here, even though it was quiet in Collin County. Second, the range is wide, from 7 to 48.
April is the peak month, with 62 reports across those years. September brings a second, smaller round, with 19.
After a storm in Dallas
The Texas Department of Insurance advises filing a claim as soon as you can. It also advises getting more than one bid and not paying in full up front.
You file the claim. Your insurer decides coverage and the amount. We build the roof.
We inspect and document storm damage with photos and measurements. We can meet your insurance adjuster on the roof to point out the damage we found and review our estimate and technical details.
No payment is due until materials are delivered and work begins. Read the steps on our hail and storm damage page.
Your wind and hail deductible
Many North Texas policies carry a 2% wind and hail deductible. On a $320,700 dwelling limit, that is $6,414. Check your declarations page for your own number.
Texas law requires you to pay your deductible. We give you an invoice and receipt showing it was paid.
Roofs about 15 to 20 years old may be limited to actual cash value on some policies. If you are replacing, ask your agent about Class 4 shingles and the discount your insurer offers.
Fences and Christmas lights in Dallas
Dallas allows taller backyard fences than most nearby cities. The limit is 9 feet. Front-yard fences are limited to 4 feet.
A permit is required for a fence over 4 feet in a front yard or over 6 feet elsewhere. Our Dallas fence page has more, and the main fence page lists materials.
We also install Christmas lights from October to January. It is plug-in installation using your existing outdoor outlets.
