Roofing Contractor in Dallas, TX

Dallas is the largest city we cover, and the one where no two streets carry the same kind of roof. Our crews drive in from Irving, roughly 30 minutes (15 miles) from downtown. What sets Dallas apart is the spread of building eras. In one week we can climb a 1920s Craftsman on board sheathing, a 1960s ranch wearing its second layer of shingles and a new standing seam build, and each needs its own plan.

Bungalows, Ranches and Infill from the M Streets to Lake Highlands

Dallas housing reads like a timeline. The M Streets and Lakewood hold 1920s and 1930s Tudor cottages with steep front gables, while Winnetka Heights and Kessler Park in Oak Cliff hold Craftsman and Prairie bungalows from the same years. Lake Highlands and much of Northeast Dallas filled in during the 1950s and 1960s with long, low-pitched brick ranches. Far North Dallas, above LBJ Freeway, is mostly 1970s and 1980s two-stories with hip-and-valley roofs. Since the 2000s, teardowns have scattered contemporary infill through Preston Hollow and Lakewood, often with metal panels and low-slope sections.

Mature canopy is the other constant. Post oaks, pecans and live oaks shade the older streets, which keeps attics cooler but drops limbs in wind and packs valleys with leaves that hold moisture against the shingles.

What Did the 2019 Preston Hollow Tornado Show About Wind Damage?

On October 20, 2019, an EF3 tornado crossed North Dallas, running through Preston Hollow and the Walnut Hill Lane area. Homes near the center of the path lost whole roofs, but far more houses on the edges had damage that was easy to miss from the street: tabs lifted and creased, sealant strips broken, ridge caps loosened and flashing pulled away from chimneys. Those roofs often leaked months later, when wind-driven rain finally found the gaps.

Hail is the more frequent threat. The National Insurance Crime Bureau logged 25,262 Dallas hail claims from 2017 through 2019, enough to put the city in the national top five. For hail damage roof repair in Dallas we check soft metals first (vents, gutters, window wraps), then mark and photograph bruises on each slope the way an adjuster will. For wind events, see our tornado damage roof repair service and the tornado roof damage checklist.

Roof Repair and Roof Replacement Dallas Homeowners Call Us About

Hail and wind claims lead after spring storms. Next come full replacements on roofs from the 1990s and 2000s that have shed granules and started to curl, then leak repairs around chimneys, skylights and pipe boots on older homes. If you are weighing a fix against a new roof, our roof replacement page lists the signs we look for.

Can a Skip-Sheathed Oak Cliff Bungalow Take a New Shingle Roof?

Yes, with one extra step. Many pre-war Dallas houses were first roofed with wood shingles nailed over spaced boards, called skip sheathing, so air could dry the wood. Asphalt shingles need a continuous nailing surface, so before new underlayment goes down we cover the spaced boards with plywood or OSB, or swap out rotted boards first. We look for this from the attic during the free inspection, so it shows up in the estimate instead of on tear-off day. Our roof decking replacement page explains the options.

Commercial Roofs from Stemmons to Love Field

Dallas has miles of low-slope commercial roofing: warehouses in the Stemmons and Design District corridor, shops along Harry Hines Boulevard, strip centers on every arterial and office buildings around Love Field. These roofs pond water, split at seams and crack around rooftop units after hail. We inspect, repair and replace them inside city limits and document storm damage for the owner's claim. See commercial roofing for the systems we handle.

How Our Irving Crew Handles a Dallas Inspection

2. We drive in from Irving, usually by SH 183, I-30 or LBJ Freeway depending on your side of town.
3. We walk the roof, check the attic and soft metals and photograph every finding.
4. You get a written damage report and a free estimate. When a claim is filed, we can stand on the roof beside the adjuster, show what we documented, then build to whatever scope the insurer approves.
5. On install day the crew protects the yard, tears off, replaces any bad decking, installs and cleans up.

Reviewers have described one-day finishes and a clean yard afterward.

Hiring a Roofing Contractor in Dallas, TX: Coverage and Permits

We cover all of Dallas, Oak Cliff, East Dallas, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow and Far North Dallas included, plus the edges that meet our other service areas: Highland Park and University Park to the north, and Mesquite, Balch Springs and Hutchins to the east and south. Texas has no state license for roofers, so the city's own rules carry weight. The city's contractor registration form lists roofing contractors among the trades that must register, and its storm-damage guidance says replacing rafters or joists needs a permit; confirm current rules with Development Services first. Texas law also bars a contractor from paying or waiving your deductible, so be wary of storm-season door-knockers who offer to.
