How much does a new roof cost in Dallas-Fort Worth?
For a typical single-family home, an architectural asphalt shingle replacement runs about $9,000-$16,000, impact-resistant Class 4 shingles about $12,000-$20,000, standing-seam metal about $20,000-$40,000+, and designer or tile systems $25,000-$50,000+. Your exact price depends on the roof’s size, pitch, and complexity, and our inspection and written estimate are always free.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most DFW homes are torn off and re-roofed in a single day. The main exceptions are roofs that need a lot of decking replaced, or that are exceptionally large, which can run into a second day (metal and tile take longer too). We give you a firm timeline up front, and every job ends with a full catch-all cleanup and a triple magnet sweep for stray nails.
Will insurance pay for my roof replacement in Texas?
If a storm caused enough sudden hail or wind damage, insurers will often approve a full replacement, and you pay only your wind/hail deductible (often 1-2% of your dwelling coverage). Gradual wear and age are not covered. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and make sure the whole roof is in the claim.
What’s the best roofing material for the DFW climate?
An impact-resistant architectural shingle is the sweet spot for most homes. We install impact-resistant shingles as our standard, Class 3 rated at a minimum, using a complete Malarkey system that carries an extended lifetime material warranty. Step up to Class 4 for the most hail protection and the best insurance discount, or to standing-seam metal (40 to 70 years) for the longest life. We’ll help you choose based on budget and how long you plan to stay.
Do you offer a warranty on roof replacement?
Yes. Every full replacement comes with our lifetime workmanship warranty plus an extended lifetime material warranty from the full Malarkey system, both in writing. As a Malarkey Emerald Pro contractor, we install the starter, shingles, hip and ridge, and ice-and-water barrier all as Malarkey products, and that complete system is what unlocks the extended material coverage. A one-off repair doesn’t carry a warranty like this.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Repair usually makes sense when the roof is under about 10-12 years old and the damage is isolated. Replacement is smarter when the roof is 15-20+ years old, the damage is widespread, leaks keep coming back, or a storm has totaled it. We’ll show you photos and give an honest recommendation, never an upsell. See our

What’s included in a full roof replacement?
A complete tear-off down to the decking, replacement of any rotten decking, Malarkey synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water barrier, all-new flashing, lead pipe jacks, and drip edge, new metal ventilation, and impact-resistant shingles that are Class 3 rated at a minimum. Every job finishes with a catch-all cleanup, a triple magnet sweep, and both your lifetime workmanship warranty and an extended lifetime material warranty. We never simply roof over your old shingles.
What if I find nails in my yard after the install?
We run a triple magnet sweep of your yard on every job, on top of the catch-all system that keeps most debris off your property to begin with. A job this size involves between 10,000 and 30,000 nails, so finding one or two afterward isn’t unusual, but you shouldn’t find more than that. If you do, just call us and we’ll come straight back out and sweep again.
What is recoverable depreciation?
On a Replacement Cost Value policy, your carrier first pays the roof’s depreciated value and holds back the rest, called recoverable depreciation. Once we complete the work and send the certificate of completion and final invoice, they release that held-back amount. In the end you pay only your wind and hail deductible.
Do you replace the decking too?
Yes. Once we tear off down to the deck, we replace any rotten or soft decking we find before we build. Sound decking stays, bad decking gets swapped, so your new roof sits on a solid base. We show you what we find, and decking is priced as needed.
Do you pull the permit for my roof replacement?
Yes. We pull the permit for your job and keep the work code-compliant, so your new roof is properly documented for resale and your warranty, and you never have to deal with the city yourself.
Can I stay home during the roof replacement?
Yes, most homeowners do. It is loud, so plan around naps and important calls, but our catch-all system protects your landscaping and keeps nails off the ground. Just let us know about pets, cars, or anything fragile and we’ll work around it.
What roof colors can I choose?
A lot. Malarkey architectural shingles come in a wide range of colors, and we help you match your brick, trim, and neighborhood. We can show you options on your actual home before you commit to one.
How is my roof measured, and what is a square?
Roofs are measured in squares, and one square equals 100 square feet. Your roof’s total squares, along with its pitch and complexity, is the biggest driver of material and labor. We measure it for you as part of the free estimate, so the number is based on your real roof, not a guess.
Do you replace flat or commercial roofs too?
Yes. We install and replace TPO and modified-bitumen systems for flat residential sections and commercial buildings across Dallas-Fort Worth, in addition to shingle, metal, and tile. Ask us for a free commercial roof evaluation.
