In Grapevine, the permit comes before the tear-off
Fort Worth requires no permit for shingle-only work. Grapevine is different. The city's permit list includes residential re-roofing, so a re-roof here starts at the permit counter.
Here is what that means for you:
- We pull the permit. You do not need to visit the city.
- The fee is confirmed first. We could not verify the current re-roof fee on a city source. We confirm it with the city before work starts.
- It shows on your quote. The permit is its own written line, not a buried cost.
Grapevine also requires contractors to register with the city. The city lists that fee at $75 a year.
A quick profile of Grapevine homes
Census figures for 2020 to 2024 count 51,139 people in Grapevine. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $493,100, well above the Tarrant County median of $323,900.
Owners live in 52.7% of occupied homes. The median home was built in 1993, which puts a typical Grapevine house past the 30-year mark.
What we look for on a 1990s house
A house from 1993 has had time to collect small problems. So we look past the shingles:
- Pipe boots and vent seals
- Flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys
- Ridge caps
- Soft or sagging decking
- How many shingle layers are on the roof
Layers matter for price. Tear-off is included in published per-square ranges, but a second layer adds $500 to $3,000. We show you the layers in a photo before that line goes on a quote.
Hail in the northeast corner of the county
Grapevine sits in northeast Tarrant County. That part of the county was at the center of the area's largest hail day in recent records.
On May 28, 2024, spotters filed 65 reports of hail 1 inch or larger. National Weather Service preliminary reports place them over Arlington and northeast Tarrant. No other day in the DFW data since 2015 had more.
County-wide, Tarrant has logged 457 such reports from 2015 through September 2026. March through June brought 422 of them.
A report near you is a reason to look, not proof of damage. We inspect and document storm damage with photos and measurements. Then you decide what to do with the report.
Repair, replace or leave it alone
Not every inspection ends with a new roof. There are three honest outcomes, and the photos point to one of them.
Leave it alone
If the roof is sound, the report says so. You keep it, and it costs you nothing.
Repair it
A few damaged shingles or a failed pipe boot is a roof repair. Repairs are quoted by free estimate after we see the problem.
Replace it
When wear or damage runs across the slopes, we quote a roof replacement. Published DFW ranges for architectural shingles and Class 4 shingles appear lower on this page.
If we recommend an item, we show you the photo. If we cannot show photo evidence for it, that line comes off the quote.
If insurance is involved
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. No payment is due until materials are delivered and work begins. Our hail and storm damage page covers the rest.
Thinking about hail-rated shingles while the roof is open? Compare the options on our Class 4 shingles page and our cost guide.
Fence rules in Grapevine
We build cedar and ornamental iron fences and repair existing ones. Grapevine's rules are simple to state:
- A new, relocated or enlarged fence needs a permit.
- Replacing less than 50% of a fence is exempt.
- Backyard fences can be up to 8 feet tall.
We could not verify the front-yard rule on a city source. We confirm it with the city, and check your HOA rules, before we build. Start on our fence page.
Holiday lights
From October to January we install roofline and tree lighting. It is plug-in installation using your existing outdoor outlets. See Christmas light installation for pricing and what is included.
