What You Should Know About Roof Replacement & Repair

Understanding your roofing options helps you make the right decision for your home and budget.

Important Roofing Information

When to Replace vs. Repair

If your roof is less than 15 years old with isolated damage, repair is usually the right choice. If it's 20+ years old with widespread issues, replacement makes more financial sense. The middle ground (15-20 years) depends on the extent of damage and your plans for the home.

Shingle Lifespan in Texas

Standard 3-tab shingles last 15-20 years in Dallas. Architectural shingles last 20-30 years. Texas heat and occasional hail storms can shorten these estimates. Impact-resistant shingles may qualify for insurance discounts.

What Causes Roof Damage

Hail is the leading cause of roof damage in the Dallas area. Wind can lift shingles, especially if they're aging. UV exposure gradually breaks down shingle materials. Poor ventilation accelerates wear from the inside.

Insurance and Roofing

Most homeowner policies cover sudden damage like hail or wind, but not wear and tear. After a storm, you typically have 1-2 years to file a claim. Get a professional inspection before filing—not all damage is visible from the ground.

Signs of Roof Problems

Missing or curling shingles, granules in gutters, water stains on ceilings, and daylight through the attic are clear warning signs. If neighbors are getting new roofs after a storm, you should get inspected too.

Ventilation Matters

Proper attic ventilation prevents heat buildup that can cook shingles from below. Ridge vents and soffit vents work together. Poor ventilation can void shingle warranties and lead to premature failure.

Understanding Roofing Estimates

We provide free inspections and detailed written estimates. Our estimates include material costs, labor, tear-off and disposal, decking replacement if needed, and warranty information.

We'll explain exactly what we found, show you photos of damage, and give you options—not just the most expensive one. You'll know what's urgent and what can wait.

Most estimates are provided within 24-48 hours of inspection. Insurance claims may take longer as we work with your adjuster.
