What does a roofing contractor in Irving, TX do?
A roofing contractor in Irving, TX inspects roofs after storms, finds leaks and fixes them, replaces worn or hail-damaged roofs, and keeps commercial low-slope roofs watertight. At RJ Premium Roofing that work falls into six kinds of jobs, and each one has its own page with the details:
- Roof replacement: tear-off to the decking, new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, shingles and ridge cap, then cleanup and the city final inspection.
- Hail damage roof repair: a free post-storm inspection, slope-by-slope photos, and repair or replacement once the scope is clear.
- Roof insurance claims: damage documentation, a written report, and a roofer on the roof when the adjuster inspects.
- Roof repair: leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing, cracked pipe boots and leaking valleys.
- Commercial roofing: flat and low-slope repairs, TPO, coatings and metal for offices, shops and apartments.
- Emergency roof repair: urgent temporary repairs and tarping to stop water after hail, wind or a fallen limb.
Homeowners also call us for residential roofing on older Irving houses, asphalt shingle roofing, metal roofing, tile roofing and new roof installation on additions and remodels.
Why do Irving roofs wear out faster than the shingle wrapper promises?
Irving's housing is older than most people expect. The median home was built in 1986, and about 23% of the city's 102,512 housing units went up between 1980 and 1989, according to Point2Homes. That means a large share of Irving roofs are on their second or third set of shingles, and some sit on decking that has been nailed through two or three times.
Weather does the rest. July highs run about 95°F, and the city has hit 112°F, so an attic without balanced ventilation bakes shingles from below. Irving gets roughly 33 to 37 inches of rain a year, with May the wettest month, which is also the heart of hail season. The National Insurance Crime Bureau counted 637,977 hail loss claims in Texas from 2017 through 2019, with Dallas among the top five U.S. cities for hail claims.
On a 1980s roof in Valley Ranch or a 1960s ranch house off Irving Boulevard, curling shingles and a handful of granules at the downspout usually mean age plus hail. That combination is why we photograph every slope before anyone touches a tarp or a shingle.
Roofing contractor for Las Colinas, Valley Ranch and every Irving neighborhood
Irving is several towns in one, and the roofs show it. South and central Irving hold the city's oldest neighborhoods, where 1950s to 1970s ranch homes often hide extra shingle layers and tired decking. Valley Ranch and the planned sections of Las Colinas carry 1980s and 1990s two-stories with steeper, more complex roof lines and homeowner association rules on shingle color. Las Colinas and the SH 114 and SH 183 corridors add office buildings, hotels, apartments and warehouses with low-slope roofs.
As a local roofer in Irving, TX, we work all of it from our base in ZIP 75062, including ZIP codes 75038, 75039, 75060, 75061, 75062 and 75063. If your neighborhood has an HOA, bring the approved color list to the inspection and we will quote from it, so there is no re-work after the roof goes on.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Irving, TX?
Published third-party estimates put a typical Irving roof replacement at $6,544 to $7,376 (homeyou, based on 9,490 Irving-area projects, valid through March 6, 2026) and a 25-square architectural shingle roof at $10,660 to $15,340 (Smart Roofing Calculator, 2026). The two sources differ because they assume different roof sizes and materials. These are not our prices; your written estimate after a free inspection is the number that counts.
| Budget item | Published Irving range | Source and conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Typical replacement | $6,544–$7,376 | homeyou, 9,490 Irving-area projects; valid through March 6, 2026 |
| 25-square architectural roof | $10,660–$15,340 | Smart Roofing Calculator, 2026; $426–$614 per installed square |
| Re-roof permit | $125–$325 (about $200 average) | Smart Roofing Calculator; another schedule lists $100 single-family. Confirm with the City |
| Decking and code items | Varies by roof | Found at tear-off; listed separately on a written estimate |
A "square" is 100 square feet of roof surface, so a 25-square roof is 2,500 square feet of roof, not floor area. Compare quotes per square and line by line. A low total often leaves out underlayment upgrades, flashing, ventilation or debris removal. Ask about payment timing at the estimate; we explain it in writing before you sign.

How do you tell if hail damaged your roof?
You can spot most hail damage signs from the ground or a ladder at the gutter line, without walking the roof:
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, vents and the metal roof jacks
- Shingle granules washing out of downspouts after the storm
- Dark, bruised spots on shingles where granules were knocked loose
- Lifted flashing or missing ridge caps after hail with wind
- A new brown ceiling stain or a musty attic smell after rain
If you see any one of them, book a free hail damage roof inspection before cleanup. Local hail frequency estimates vary, from a few hail days a year to several damaging storms, so plan for hail as a yearly risk rather than a rare event. Stay off a wet or steep roof; falls are the leading cause of roofing deaths.
Which roofing materials hold up best to Irving hail and heat?
Architectural asphalt shingles are the Irving baseline, standing seam metal and stone-coated steel are the common upgrades, and flat commercial roofs use reflective membranes such as TPO.
| Roof type | Where it fits in Irving | Hail and heat notes |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural shingles | Most homes and HOA neighborhoods | Must meet the ASTM D7158/D3161 wind class for the site; impact ratings vary by product |
| Class 4 impact-resistant shingles | Homes in repeat-hail areas | Tested to UL 2218 Class 4; ask your insurer whether it offers a discount |
| Standing seam metal | Modern homes, additions, outbuildings | Ask for Class 4 impact test data and the wind rating |
| Stone-coated steel | Homes wanting a tile or shake look | Lighter than tile; confirm impact data and HOA approval |
| TPO membrane | Low-slope commercial roofs | Reflective single-ply; Irving's cool-roof rules set SRI 78 for low-slope roofs |
Irving also sets a minimum solar reflectance index of SRI 29 for steep-slope roofs under its local building code amendments, so we check each product's data sheet before ordering. Whatever you choose, get the manufacturer's material warranty and our written workmanship guarantee spelled out separately. Read more about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles if your street sees hail every spring.
Should you repair or replace your roof after hail?
Replace when the roof is near the end of its life, hail damage spans several slopes, or patches keep stacking up on the same slope. Repair isolated damage on a younger roof. Three local rules shape the decision:
- Permits. Irving requires a permit for a re-roof; repairs of 100 square feet or less are exempt, according to the City of Irving's residential roofing handout. A final inspection confirms the work and debris removal.
- The "25% rule." Local contractors describe a rule, said to come from the residential code, that requires replacing a slope once 25% or more of it is repaired within 12 months. Treat it as a planning flag and confirm with the City of Irving Inspections Department at (972) 721-2371.
- Code edition and cool roofs. Irving adopted the 2024 International Residential Code effective May 1, 2026 (Ordinance 2026-11253, per the city's code library), with local amendments that include the SRI 78 and SRI 29 cool-roof minimums. Ask the city to confirm the edition that applies to your permit.
On a 1980s roof with granule loss and repeated leaks, replacement often costs less over time than another round of patches. Our roof repair and roof replacement pages walk through both paths.
What should a roofer show you before you sign?
Because Texas does not license roofers, the paperwork is your protection. Ask any roofing company in Irving for four things:
- A current City of Irving contractor registration and its expiry date
- A current insurance certificate sent to you directly by the insurer
- An itemized written estimate that lists underlayment, flashing, drip edge, ventilation and debris removal, and says who pulls the permit
- A local presence you can verify: a Google Business Profile with real reviews and a phone number that rings in DFW
We hand you the estimate and the permit plan in writing. Our Google reviews are public, and our workmanship guarantee comes in writing with every contract.
How does our roof insurance claim help work?
We do the roofer's part of a claim and leave the negotiating to you and your insurer, as Texas law requires. In practice that means we inspect the roof for free, mark and photograph each hail or wind hit, write a damage report you can send with your claim, and meet the adjuster on the roof to point out what we documented. Once your insurer approves a scope, we build to it.
Two rules protect you. Texas Insurance Code Chapter 707 bars any contractor from waiving or paying your deductible, and Chapter 4102 reserves claim negotiation for licensed public adjusters. As we put it in one of our replies to a Google review: "Our job is to make sure that the storm damage to the roof is correctly identified for your insurance claim."

Residential and commercial roofing contractor in Irving
Homes are most of our work, but Irving's commercial roofs need the same care. Offices and shops in Las Colinas, warehouses near DFW Airport and apartment communities across the city typically sit under low-slope roofs where ponding water, split seams and loose flashing at rooftop units cause most leaks. For those buildings we inspect, repair, coat or replace the membrane and keep tenants informed while we work.
See commercial roofing for flat-roof systems and phasing, or emergency roof repair if water is already coming in.
