Here is how a roof replacement actually works in Dallas, what it costs, and what you should expect from the roofing company you hire.

Dallas, TX Roof Replacement Company for Homeowners

Hiring a roof inspector is beneficial, even if you’re unsure about needing the service. Many people only think of calling one when buying or selling a home. However, a roof inspector can assess your roof’s overall condition anytime, providing valuable insights.

Is re-roofing the right choice?

Re-roofing Shingle Replacement vs. Leaving Them

Leaving the old shingles in place will minimize:

• Disposal expense
• Mess
• Removal costs

Due to extreme weather, Texans benefit from roof shingle replacement as an additional barrier against leaks and improved insulation.

On the other hand, removing old shingles and starting from scratch will allow the roofer to examine the sheathing for water damage or roof leaks. A new roof deck makes sure roof shingles are firmly attached and flat.

Leaving Shingles and Re-roofing Risk

Roofs can carry up to a certain load. Each layer of shingles adds weight, increasing the overall load on the structure.

This type of quicker fix will also not provide the most pristine look. There may be some coloration differences between old and new tiles. Stylistic differences may also be present depending on the quality of replacement materials chosen.

A Final Word on Re-roofing in Dallas, TX

Depending on the location, homeowners may be allowed one, two, or three roofs. The rules are based on the strength of the roof structure, and a call to the local building department will answer whether or not it’s even an option. If they give the go-ahead, the surface being worked on must be sound.

Since the roof is vital to your home’s structural integrity, hiring a professional roof replacement company for this type of project is highly recommended. Personal safety and performing the work to code is indispensable and must take precedence over budget concerns.

Timeline and What’s Included in a Roof Replacement

Once a decision is made to proceed, a homeowner may find it difficult to determine the first step. This type of job involves a significant financial investment, so it’s important to understand what the whole process will look like ahead of time.

What Is the Process of Roof Replacement?

Hire a Great Roofing Company

Trusting a storm-chasing roofing company can create complications. Especially here in Dallas, Texas after a good storm, certain companies send out staff to knock on the doors of affected areas.

Homeowners want:

• Peace of mind
• Wide variety of roofing options
• Exceptional customer service

Dane Roofing has been family-owned since 2010 and holds a BBB A+ rating, accredited since 2011. We know what homeowners look for in a Dallas and Frisco, TX roof replacement company. The integrity upheld by the founder aligns perfectly with those expectations.

Choose Roofing Materials in Dallas, TX

The goal is to complement a home’s architecture while staying on budget. A solid roofing contractor will help choose the right roofing materials to accomplish this. Their recommendations may vary slightly, depending on the type of roof. However, most will offer similar material lists.

Removing and Inspecting the Old Roof

Any sub-roof, old roof felt, and shingles must be removed. This is a messy and loud process, and it will require the homeowner to take steps ahead of time to protect their other property. For more information, here’s a helpful list of what to expect. A contractor’s roof inspection will make certain it’s ready to receive the new roofing.

Installing the New Roof

A new roof felt will be installed to protect against water. This all-important step will set a solid foundation for the shingles and other roofing items to be added. Next, the chosen roofing material will be installed. Depending on the size of the roof installation project, the entire process can take several days to a week.

Roof Replacement Cost to a Homeowner in Dallas, TX

When quoting a price for a roof replacement, the estimate is on a “per square” basis, with a roofing square being 100 square feet.

The per square rate contains all relevant factors:

• Labor
• Supplies
• Any protective elements
• Removal of waste
• Price of the shingles

Across the Dallas Fort Worth market a typical residential roof replacement runs from roughly $9,000 to $25,000 depending on the factors below. We price yours from a measured scope rather than from an average.

This price fluctuates depending on factors like:

• Layers
• Plumbing pipes, chimneys, skylights
• Code requirements
• Products and supplies
• Pitch
• Size
• How it’s installed on the deck/frame

60% of the project will go toward labor and overhead, with the remaining 40% for roofing materials.

The price of materials will vary depending on the type of roof, going from $5000 to $45,000. Asphalt and metal are the most affordable options for roof replacement. The most expensive options include slate, wood shake, and tile roof replacement.

Don’t be surprised if the initial estimate increases once the contractor has inspected the roof in more detail. The quote might not include any hassles they may run into during the project, such as extensive roof damage or a problem with the chimney.

A walkabout by the professional roofing contractor will help them determine any possible problems and reassess the quote as needed.

Roofing Systems and Materials We Install

A roof replacement is only as good as the system under the shingles. We install complete roofing systems to manufacturer specification, which means the deck, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the covering are specified together rather than one part at a time. The roofing materials we install most often on Dallas homes and businesses are:

• Architectural asphalt shingles, the default for most residential roofing in DFW, with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles available. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, though the discount varies by carrier and policy, so check with yours before counting on it.
• Metal roofing, standing seam and exposed-fastener panels, where a homeowner wants a longer service life or a particular look.
• Tile, concrete and clay, matched to the existing profile so a replacement section is not obvious from the street.
• Low-slope and flat membranes for commercial roofing and for the flat sections common on North Dallas homes.

We will walk the available types with you against your budget and your home's architecture, and we will tell you where spending more changes the result and where it does not.

Hail Damage and Insurance Claims

Most full roof replacements in Dallas start with a storm rather than with age. After a hailstorm we carry out a thorough roof inspection, document what we find with photographs, and give you a straight answer on whether the damage justifies a claim at all. We work with you and your insurance company to document roof damage, provide detailed estimates, and address questions about the roofing work. We work with State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers and Liberty Mutual most weeks of the year, so we know what documentation an insurer looks for.

We are not storm chasers. We were here before the storm and we will be here after it, which is a different proposition from the roofers who knock on doors in an affected neighborhood and are gone the following season.

What Is Included, and the Warranty

Every roof replacement we quote is a written, line-item scope: tear-off and disposal, deck inspection and any rotted decking replaced, new underlayment, flashing, ventilation, the covering itself, permits where required, and a full magnetic sweep of the property at the end. You see the price per roofing square before anything starts. If the tear-off uncovers something that changes the scope, such as rotted decking, we stop and agree it with you in writing before we carry on.

The finished roof carries the manufacturer's material warranty plus our own workmanship warranty, backed by a family business that has been in Dallas since 2010 and holds an A+ BBB rating, accredited since 2011. That combination is the part that matters: a material warranty is only worth as much as the roofing company still being here to honour the installation behind it.

How Long a Roof Replacement Takes

Most residential roof replacements in Dallas are completed in one or two days from the start of tear-off. A full re-roof with decking repairs runs five to ten days. Commercial roofing projects vary with the size of the building, from about three days on a small retail unit to three weeks on a large warehouse. We give you the schedule in writing before we start and we keep you posted at each step.

Roof Replacement Questions Dallas Homeowners Ask

How do I know whether I need a roof replacement or a roof repair?

Book a free roof inspection and get a straight answer. Isolated issues such as a few slipped shingles or failed flashing are roof repairs, and we will say so. Widespread hail bruising, granule loss across the whole slope, a deck that has started to fail, or a roof past about twenty years are the roofing problems that make a full replacement the better investment. We would rather tell you the truth and do your replacement in three years than sell you one today.

What happens to my gutters during a roof replacement?

Gutters usually stay in place. They are protected during tear-off and the new drip edge is fitted to work with them. Where gutters are already damaged or where the new roof system changes the drainage detail, we will tell you before the work starts rather than after. There is more detail in our guide on whether gutters have to be removed when replacing a roof.

Can I get a roof replacement through my insurance?

Often, yes, where there is documented storm damage. Insurance covers a replacement when the damage is sudden and storm-related rather than wear. We carry out the roof inspection and document what we find. We work with you and your insurance company to document roof damage, provide detailed estimates, and address questions about the roofing work. Age alone is not a covered peril, and we will tell you up front which of the two you are looking at.

How do I choose between Dallas roofing companies?

Ask three things of any roofing contractors you are considering. Do they give you a written line-item scope rather than a single number. Will the company still exist to honour the workmanship warranty. And are they local, or did they arrive the week after the storm. Dane Roofing has been a Dallas roofing company since 2010, serving Dallas and the surrounding DFW metroplex, with an A+ BBB rating accredited since 2011 and 130+ five-star Google reviews.

Do you do roof repairs as well?

Yes. Complete roof replacement and new roof installation are our specialty, and roof repairs, roof inspections and storm damage work are available alongside them. Emergency service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
