What this job involves on a North Texas roof.
Your roof takes hail, wind and a Texas summer of heat and UV every year, and it is also the largest surface anyone sees from the street, so a replacement has two jobs to do. Most people only go through one or two in the years they own a house. That is why the first step is a free inspection, which tells you whether the roof needs replacing at all or whether a repair will carry it.
When it does need replacing, the old shingles and underlayment come off down to the decking. The tear-off is the only point at which soft or water-stained plywood can be seen, and a new roof laid over a bad deck inherits the problem. Laying a second layer over the first hides damage and adds weight, and it is the main reason an old roof can look fine and still leak.
What a job includes
- Free roof inspection before any quote
- Tear-off down to the decking
- Replacement of damaged decking found during the tear-off
- Ridge ventilation and under-eave ventilation
- Blown-in attic insulation to at least R-49
- Underlayment and a self-sealing ice and water barrier
- Starter shingles and hip and ridge shingles
- Gutter drainage protection
- Clean-up of the property when the crew is finished
How It Works
Free inspection
We get on the roof and look for damage and whether it is storm-related, so you can file a timely claim with your insurance company.
Scope and price
On an insurance job, the work is done at the price your insurance company approves for the scope. On a job you are paying for yourself, the inspection and the quote are free and carry no obligation.
The work
The crew tears off the old roof down to the decking, installs the new roof system and cleans up the property before leaving.
Change orders and the check
If more damage turns up once the roof is open, your project manager takes it to the adjuster as a change order, and walks you through the insurance check when your mortgage company is on it.
The Difference
The details that decide how long it lasts.
The brands we install include GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Tamko, Atlas, Malarkey and IKO shingles, Decra stone-coated steel and Duro-Last membranes. Architectural shingles are what most homes around Haslet and Keller carry, and designer lines come in a broad range of colors for a house where the roof is a large part of how it looks from the curb.
The shingle is one layer of about nine, and a roof that fails early usually fails at one of the others. We build the roof as a system, and the list we work to is ridge ventilation and under-eave ventilation to move air through the attic, blown-in attic insulation to at least R-49, underlayment, a self-sealing ice and water barrier, starter shingles along the eaves and rakes, hip and ridge shingles made for the job, and gutter drainage protection at the edge.
Ventilation deserves its own mention in North Texas. An attic that cannot breathe can sit well above the outdoor temperature on a summer afternoon, and that heat bakes the shingles from underneath and ages them faster than the sun does from above. Intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge have to be balanced, and a replacement is the cheapest moment to get that right.
If the roof was damaged by hail or wind, the replacement may be covered by your homeowners insurance, and that runs through an adjuster, a scope agreed with your insurance company and a check that may carry your mortgage company's name. The roof insurance claims page covers that side. If you are paying for the roof yourself, the inspection costs nothing either way.

Roof Replacement, answered.
How long does a roof replacement take?
On an average single-family home with one layer of shingles, the tear-off and install usually fit into one day on site. A larger or steeper roof, a second layer to strip, or rotten decking can stretch it to two or three days. On an insurance job, the claim itself adds time before the work is scheduled, and weather moves start dates more than anything else.
How much does a roof replacement cost around Fort Worth?
An asphalt shingle replacement on a typical North Texas home commonly lands somewhere between about $9,000 and $20,000, and steep, cut-up roofs or premium shingle lines run above that. Size, pitch, the number of layers coming off and the shingle you choose move the price most. The cost estimator on this site gives you a range, and a free inspection gives you the number for your roof.
Do I need to be home while the roof is replaced?
Not usually. Move cars out of the driveway before the crew arrives and take anything fragile off the walls inside, because the tear-off shakes the house. Tell us about pets, gates and a pool when the date is set.
Which shingle should I choose?
For most houses here, an impact-resistant architectural shingle is worth pricing first, because some Texas insurers discount premiums on a Class 4 roof. Ask your agent whether yours does. Colour is the other half of the decision, and it is easier to judge against your brick with a sample in hand than on a screen.
What happens if you find rotten decking under the old roof?
We replace it before the new roof goes on, because shingles nailed into soft plywood do not hold. On an insurance job, your project manager submits the added work to your insurance company as a change order, which is standard and expected.
