Palmer Roof Replacement • Emerald Pro Certified

Palmer Roof Replacement

A brand-new roof for your Palmer home, made to shrug off the next Texas storm.

Once your roof is worn past repair, you replace it instead of patching it again, and your roof replacement in Palmer runs the honest way: stripped to the decking, rebuilt as a complete Malarkey system on top, and your insurance claim guided from the first inspection to the final check.

Lifetime WarrantyOn every new roof

Roof replacement in Palmer

A full, done-right replacement for a Palmer home

Palmer is a small, rural Ellis County town, and a roof replacement out here should be exactly as thorough as one anywhere in the Metroplex. We put on the same complete Malarkey system, with the same standards, whether the address is a country lane in Palmer or a subdivision in the heart of the city.

The complete Malarkey system

As a Malarkey Emerald Pro contractor, we install a complete Malarkey system, the starter, the shingles, the hip and ridge, and the ice-and-water barrier all from one manufacturer, and that completeness is what unlocks an extended lifetime material warranty on top of our own lifetime workmanship warranty. Our standard shingle is impact-resistant, rated Class 3 at a minimum, with Class 4 available as the maximum-hail upgrade that can also earn a discount from many insurers.

Down to the deck, done properly

A real replacement is a tear-off, not a layer-over. We strip the roof down to the decking, replace any wood that has rotted or gone soft, and then rebuild it the right way: synthetic underlayment, Malarkey ice-and-water barrier in the vulnerable areas, lead pipe jacks rather than the rubber boots that crack in a few years, and proper metal ventilation. On a Palmer home that has to stand up to open Ellis County weather, those details are what separate a roof that lasts from one that does not.

Most homes, one day

Most Palmer roofs we replace are done in a single day. The crew arrives early, sets up a catch-all system on the ground to protect your yard and landscaping, strips the old roof, and installs the new one, all in a day unless the roof is exceptionally large or turns up a lot of decking that needs replacing, in which case it runs to a second day. A job like this sheds somewhere between ten and thirty thousand nails on average, so we finish with a triple magnet sweep of the grounds, and finding a stray one or two afterward is normal while more than that means we come back and sweep again.

Permits and the honest close

Palmer requires a permit for roofing, so your replacement is done on the books and inspected, which protects you at resale. When the work is finished, we reinstall the gutters, coordinate any additional trades, and issue a certificate of completion along with the final invoice to your insurance carrier, the step that releases your recoverable depreciation. Once the final payment clears, we issue your lifetime warranties and your Class 3 or Class 4 impact certificates.

What drives the cost

An honest replacement quote in Palmer comes down to real factors, not guesswork: the size of the roof measured in squares, the slope and complexity, how many old layers have to come off, how much decking needs replacing, the material you choose, and the height and access of the home. We walk you through each one so you understand exactly what you are paying for, with no vague line items and nothing buried in the fine print.

The same standard, every address

A rural Palmer address should never mean a lesser roof. We bring the same complete system, the same careful install, and the same honest dealing here that we bring anywhere in the Metroplex, and we are local enough to still be here long after the last shingle is nailed down.

Roof replacement done right in Palmer

~31 yrsMedian home age
$52,500Median home value
82%Owner-occupied

The typical Palmer home dates to 1995, so many roofs are now 31-plus years old, right at the end of a standard shingle's service life. If yours is there, a full tear-off resets the clock with a complete, impact-resistant system.

Palmer is a strongly owner-occupied community (around 82% of homes), the kind of place where people plan to stay, so protecting the roof is protecting a long-term home, not a flip. With Palmer values averaging around $52,500, we keep the work honest and the pricing straight, no upsells, no games, just the roof you actually need.

A roof replacement in Palmer requires a city building permit, and DRS pulls and manages it as part of the job, inspection included. North Texas sits in the middle of hail alley, and a single spring storm can undo years of a roof's life in ten minutes. That is why every Palmer replacement we do goes on as a complete, impact-resistant system, not the cheapest shingle that fits the estimate.

Common Palmer roofing questions

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Palmer?Yes. Palmer requires a city building permit for a roof replacement. DRS pulls and manages it for you, and the city inspection is part of the job.
How old are most roofs in Palmer?The median Palmer home was built in 1995, so a typical roof here is on the order of 31 years old. Many are at or near the age where a professional look, and often a repair or replacement, makes sense.

The Davis Difference

What a Davis roof replacement in Palmer includes.

Your roof draws its years from the crew and the courses under the shingles, not the label, so we assemble your Palmer replacement as one full system, decking to ridge, with our own crews.

  • Full tear-off down to the decking. We never roof over old shingles.
  • Every sheet of rotten or soft decking replaced before we build.
  • Malarkey synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water barrier in the valleys.
  • All-new flashing, lead pipe jacks, and drip edge. Never reused.
  • New metal ventilation for a cooler attic and longer roof life.
  • Impact-resistant shingles, Class 3 rated at a minimum.
  • Full catch-all system and a triple magnet sweep of your yard.
  • Lifetime workmanship warranty, plus an extended lifetime material warranty from the full Malarkey system.

Architectural Shingles

You start with the impact-resistant Malarkey dimensional shingle, rated Class 3 at the floor, in a palette wide enough to flatter any Palmer home.

Most Popular

Class 4 Impact Upgrade

You get the toughest hail defense from the Class 4 impact shingle, which also improves your odds of a slimmer premium.

Max Hail Protection

Standing-Seam Metal

You buy the most years with concealed-fastener standing-seam metal, good for 40 to 70 of them, throwing off heat and paying wind and hail no mind.

Premium & Long-Life

Designer & Luxury Shingle

You lift the look with the designer shingle, which mimics slate or cedar shake and lends your Palmer home real curb appeal without the load.

High-End Curb Appeal

Tile & Specialty

You can crown a home framed to bear it with concrete or clay tile, set fresh or over a new re-deck, and it serves for decades.

Specialty Systems

Flat & Low-Slope (TPO)

You seal the level runs on your Palmer home or shop with our TPO and modified-bitumen systems.

Flat & Commercial

The Full Rundown

The Palmer homeowner's guide to roof replacement.

You will rarely write a bigger check on a Palmer home than for a roof replacement, so it pays to grasp it before you commit.

Repair or replace?

You keep a young roof going, its damage in one place and its leaks few, with a repair; once wear runs the whole surface, only a replacement will do, since that alone keeps the house dry.

What a quality replacement actually involves

You want the whole system rebuilt, not a coat over old shingles, opened at the decking and carried up through synthetic underlayment, a Malarkey ice-and-water barrier, lead pipe jacks over rubber boots, metal ventilation, and impact-resistant shingles.

How to vet a Palmer roofing contractor

You will see chasers float through Palmer after a hailstorm, so size a roofer up by a rooted local address, a written labor warranty, factory credentials, and plain claim advice over a pushy pitch.


Repair or Replace?

Signs it is time for a new roof in Palmer.

You get a run of years from a good repair, then it gives out, and when your Palmer roof starts wearing several of these, replacing it is the usual answer.

15-20+

Age

You can expect a Palmer asphalt roof to run down by 15 to 20 years, and a couple of harsh hail seasons hurry it there.

Everywhere

Widespread Damage

You keep paying when you chase damage one slope at a time, and across the years it outruns the cost of a single clean replacement.

Again

Recurring Leaks

You read a leak that keeps circling back, or one that opens above a newer room, as a failed system, not a single slipped joint of flashing.

Totaled

Major Storm or Hail

You may lose a Palmer roof to a stout storm outright, after which an adjuster can clear a full replacement rather than one more patch.

Sagging

Deck & Structure

You should treat a dipping roofline or attic daylight as deck or framing damage, exactly the trouble a replacement is made to cure.

Curling

Failing Shingles

You know the surface has worn out across the whole roof when shingles go bald, cracked, or curling and granules gather in the gutters.


Choosing Your Roof

The right system for your Palmer home.

You will settle, like most Palmer homeowners, between two systems, architectural asphalt and standing-seam metal, and either serves well given a careful install.

Best Value

Architectural Asphalt Shingle

  • Impact-resistant, Class 3 rated at a minimum
  • Full Malarkey system with an extended lifetime material warranty
  • The best balance of cost and performance
  • Dozens of colors to match any home
  • Insurance-friendly and easy to repair later
Upgrade

Standing-Seam Metal

  • 40-70 year lifespan, often the last roof you buy
  • Class 4 impact and excellent wind resistance
  • Reflects heat and can lower cooling bills
  • Clean, modern curb appeal that stands out
  • Non-combustible and low-maintenance

Undecided, you get a walk of your Palmer roof, a fair look at your budget and your plans, and a nudge toward the system that suits you over the one that pads a bill.


Straight Talk on Price

What actually drives your Palmer price.

You can see two Palmer roofs on one street settle far apart in price, and none of it is chance. Here is what moves the number.

Size

Squares & Footprint

You are priced by the square, at 100 square feet, so a Palmer roof carrying more squares soaks up more material and labor.

Pitch

Slope & Complexity

You pay more for a steep roof, or one broken by valleys, hips, and dormers, since it eats more time and a steadier hand than a plain gable.

Layers

Tear-Off & Old Layers

You cover a tear-off to the decking every job, and pulling a second buried layer runs up labor and dump fees, so a two-layer roof costs more to clear.

Decking

Decking Repairs

You get any soft or rotten decking swapped for fresh wood at tear-off, since a shingle only holds as well as the boards beneath it.

Material

Material Choice

You feel material set the price most, running from architectural asphalt at the value end through Class 4 impact shingles, designer lines, metal, and tile, each stepping up in protection and cost.

Access

Height & Access

You add time and care with upper stories, a boxed-in Palmer lot, a pool, and beds we work around.


Straightforward Pricing

What a new roof costs in Palmer.

You get a straight figure where most roofers hedge: your Palmer cost rides on the roof's size, pitch, materials, and access, and the honest range, with the free inspection, settles it.

Lifetime Warranty

You get every full replacement backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty and an extended lifetime material warranty from the complete Malarkey system.

Roofing SystemBest ForTypical DFW Cost
Architectural asphalt shingleBest value; impact-resistant Class 3 standard; most homes$9,000-$16,000
Class 4 impact upgradeMaximum hail protection & insurance discounts$12,000-$20,000
Standing-seam metal40-70 yr lifespan; premium upgrade$20,000-$40,000+
Designer, tile & specialtyLuxury curb appeal & long life$25,000-$50,000+

You may see your homeowner's policy pick up a storm-totaled Palmer roof past your deductible, and we run that claim for you, opening look to closing check.


Insurance & Storm Claims

Storm totaled your Palmer roof? We handle the claim.

You owe only your deductible once hail or wind does enough damage for a full-replacement approval, so we document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and hold the scope honest.

“Sudden storm damage is covered. Gradual wear, age, and neglect are not.” It’s the line every homeowner should know.

You open your Palmer claim on solid ground because we sort real storm damage from ordinary wear before you file.

Covered vs. Excluded

Storm Damage vs. Wear

You get coverage for the sudden hit of hail and wind, never the slow wear of age, and we set that storm damage down clearly for your adjuster.

Your Deductible

What You Actually Pay

You pay the wind and hail deductible on an approved claim, commonly 1 to 2 percent of your dwelling coverage, and the carrier picks up the rest.

The 180-Day Window

Recover Your Depreciation

You have about 180 days under most replacement-cost policies to finish and reclaim the withheld depreciation, so we keep your Palmer claim moving and lose none of it.


Storm Claims, Step by Step

How a hail or wind claim actually works in Palmer.

You hand us the moving parts and a storm-damaged Palmer claim runs smoother than its name, and here is the whole path.

1. Free inspection and documentation

You start with us on your Palmer roof, hunting out the hail and wind damage and shooting every bit of it, with clear notes for your carrier.

2. File the claim

You file with your carrier, who assigns an adjuster, and we feed you the exact wording so nothing slips.

3. Meet the adjuster on the roof

You get your strongest guard here, where we cross your Palmer roof beside the adjuster and drive every trace of storm damage into the scope.

4. Approval, scope, and supplements

You watch us comb the cleared scope line by line and file a supplement for anything the code calls for that the carrier skipped.

5. Install, then recover your depreciation

You see us install, then send the certificate of completion and final invoice to your carrier, which frees the recoverable depreciation you are owed.


Two Warranties, in Writing

Your new Palmer roof is covered twice.

You lean on more than a handshake, two separate warranties standing behind every Davis replacement in Palmer, one on the materials and one on the labor.

The Materials

Extended Lifetime Material Warranty

You earn an extended lifetime material warranty straight from the maker because we lay a complete Malarkey system as a Malarkey Emerald Pro contractor.

The Labor

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

You keep our labor covered as long as you own the Palmer home, and anything we set that ever fails brings us back to fix it.

On Paper

Certificates Included

You collect both warranties in writing at closeout, after final payment, along with the Class 3 or Class 4 impact certificate your insurer needs.


How It Works

Our Palmer roof replacement process.

You get five plain steps, most installs inside a day, and a yard tidier than we found it.

1

Inspect

A free, thorough inspection of your roof and attic, with photos of everything we find.

2

Estimate

A clear written estimate, plus help choosing your material and color.

3

Prep

You leave the paperwork to us, opening and running your claim, locking the install date, then staging materials and taking your gutters down the day before.

4

Install

You get an early jump from the crew, taking your Palmer roof to the decking and setting your new Malarkey system on the right way.

5

Close Out

Gutters back on, a triple magnet sweep for nails, your claim closed out, and your warranties issued.


On Install Day

What replacement day actually looks like in Palmer.

You get most of the prep settled the day before, when we drop materials and take your gutters so the crew can open at daybreak.

Down to the decking, then built back the right way

You watch the catch-all go down to guard your yard, then we take the old roof to the decking, replace any rotted wood, and lay synthetic underlayment, a Malarkey ice-and-water barrier, lead pipe jacks, metal ventilation, and your impact-resistant shingles.

Most roofs, done in a single day

You get most Palmer replacements wrapped inside a day, spilling into a second only when a roof needs a heap of new decking or is simply oversized.

The cleanup, and our nail promise

You get cleanup built into the job, not tacked on: the catch-all keeps most debris off your Palmer yard, and a triple magnet sweep finishes it. A job sheds about 10,000 to 30,000 nails, so one or two later is normal, and any more brings us back to sweep again.

Closeout, depreciation, and your warranties

You see gutters go back and any other trades clear once the roof is on, then the certificate of completion and final invoice release your recoverable depreciation, and after final payment, your lifetime warranties and impact certificates.

Straight Answers

Palmer roof replacement questions, answered.

The questions Palmer homeowners ask us most about new roofs, cost, materials, and insurance.

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 Palmer roof repair page for more.
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.

Almost certainly, Davis Roofing Solutions replaces roofs across the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, so when you search for roof replacement near me, we’re likely already working in your neighborhood. We cover Dallas, Fort Worth, and every surrounding city, find your area in the list below.
