Tarrant County has led the area in hail reports since 2023
Tarrant County logs more hail reports than its neighbors. National Weather Service preliminary reports show 457 hail reports of 1 inch or larger in Tarrant County from 2015 through September 2026. That is the highest count among the five DFW counties in the data.
Tarrant also led those five counties every single year from 2023 through 2026. The yearly counts were 57 in 2023, 80 in 2024, 75 in 2025 and 52 through late September 2026.
Two recent stretches stand out. One storm day in late April 2026 produced 45 reports across Fort Worth and Arlington. In early June 2025, 41 reports came in over two days, mostly in south Tarrant.
What those numbers do not tell you
These are counts of reported hail. They rise with population and with the number of trained spotters. They do not show whether your own shingles were hit.
That is why we start on the roof and not with a sales pitch. We photograph every slope, the flashing, vents, pipe boots and ridge caps. Then we walk you through the photos before we recommend anything.
Who we are roofing for in Fort Worth
Census figures for 2020 to 2024 put Fort Worth at 963,194 residents. Owners live in 57.0% of occupied homes, and the median owner-occupied home is valued at $303,000.
The median Fort Worth home was built in 1994. On a house that age, we check how many shingle layers are on the roof. We also check the decking from the attic side when we can reach it.
Four Fort Worth roofing rules worth knowing
The City of Fort Worth publishes a roofing FAQ for homeowners and contractors. Four of its answers shape almost every job we quote here.
1. Shingles alone need no permit. Decking does.
On a one- or two-family home, a shingle-only replacement needs no city permit. Once decking is replaced, a permit is required. We tell you which case applies before work starts, and we pull the permit when it does.
2. New decking cannot go over old decking
The city's FAQ says the code does not allow a layer of decking over an existing layer. If a sheet is rotted, it comes out and a new sheet goes in.
Published DFW ranges put decking at $75 to $130 per sheet. We replace a sheet only if it is rotted, and we photograph it first.
3. Sound sheathing can stay
You do not have to replace all your sheathing to meet current code. Fort Worth says a roof that met code when built is still in compliance. Sheathing in good condition does not need replacing.
So if a quote calls for all new decking, ask to see the photos. Ours will show each sheet we flag.
4. Drip edges and crickets are required on a re-roof
Fort Worth requires drip edges and crickets when re-roofing, even if the old roof had none. Both appear as their own lines on our written quote, so you can see what you are paying for.

If a storm just came through
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.
More detail is on our hail and storm damage page.
Fort Worth fence rules, in short
We build and repair fences too. Fort Worth caps backyard fences at 8 feet. Front-yard fences top out at 4 feet, must be an open design and cannot be chain link.
The city requires a permit for a solid fence taller than 6 feet. We check the rule for your lot, and any HOA limits, before we set a post. See fence work in Fort Worth or our main fence page.
From October to January we also hang holiday lights. Our Christmas light installation is plug-in only, using your existing outdoor outlets.
