The typical Richardson home dates to 1984, so many roofs are now 42-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.

About 52% of Richardson homes are owner-occupied, and those owners tend to want the honest version: fix what needs fixing, and only replace when it is truly time.

In Richardson, a shingle-only re-roof usually does not need a city permit, but replacing decking or structural work does, and we handle whichever your job calls for. 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 Richardson replacement we do goes on as a complete, impact-resistant system, not the cheapest shingle that fits the estimate.

Common Richardson roofing questions

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Richardson?Usually not for a shingle-only re-roof in Richardson, but if we replace decking or do structural work, a permit is required. Either way, DRS handles it.
How old are most roofs in Richardson?The median Richardson home was built in 1984, so a typical roof here is on the order of 42 years old. Many are at or near the age where a professional look, and often a repair or replacement, makes sense.
Does Davis Roofing Solutions serve Richardson?Yes. We are a Dallas-Fort Worth roofing contractor headquartered in Fort Worth and we work throughout Richardson and the surrounding area, with free inspections and 24/7 emergency response.

The Davis Difference

What a Davis roof replacement in Richardson includes.

A roof lasts on two things, the crew and the details under the shingles; every Richardson replacement we build is a complete system, laid from the decking up by 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

Impact-resistant Malarkey dimensional shingles, Class 3 at a minimum; a wide color range; a look that suits most Richardson homes.

Most Popular

Class 4 Impact Upgrade

Class 4 impact shingles for the most hail protection we install; also your best shot at a lower insurance premium.

Max Hail Protection

Standing-Seam Metal

Concealed-fastener standing-seam metal; 40 to 70 years of life; heat reflected, wind and hail turned aside.

Premium & Long-Life

Designer & Luxury Shingle

Designer shingles cut to read as slate or cedar shake; real curb appeal for a Richardson home; none of the weight the true materials carry.

High-End Curb Appeal

Tile & Specialty

Concrete and clay tile, installed or re-decked; for the homes built to wear it for decades.

Specialty Systems

Flat & Low-Slope (TPO)

TPO and modified-bitumen systems; for flat residential sections and commercial buildings around Richardson.

Flat & Commercial

The Full Rundown

The Richardson homeowner's guide to roof replacement.

A roof replacement is one of the larger sums you will put into a Richardson home; understanding it before you sign is worth the time.

Repair or replace?

Young roof, damage in one area, few leaks; a repair is the smarter spend. Wear across the whole roof; a replacement is the only thing that truly protects the house.

What a quality replacement actually involves

A real replacement is a full system, not a fresh layer over the old shingles; the tear-off reaches the decking; on go new synthetic underlayment, a Malarkey ice-and-water barrier, lead pipe jacks over rubber boots, metal ventilation, and impact-resistant shingles.

How to vet a Richardson roofing contractor

Hail season draws storm chasers into Richardson; know a real roofer by a true local address, a workmanship warranty in writing, manufacturer credentials, and honest claim talk instead of a hard sell.


Repair or Replace?

Signs it is time for a new roof in Richardson.

A good repair buys years; then one day it cannot; several of these on a Richardson roof at once usually mean it is time to replace.

15-20+

Age

Fifteen to twenty years; that is where most Richardson asphalt roofs reach the end of their rated life, sooner after hard hail seasons.

Everywhere

Widespread Damage

Damage across several slopes, not one spot; patching it piece by piece outruns the cost of a single replacement over time.

Again

Recurring Leaks

Leaks that keep returning, or surface somewhere new; the roof system has failed, not one flashing detail.

Totaled

Major Storm or Hail

A major storm; an adjuster may total a Richardson roof, approving a full replacement over another patch.

Sagging

Deck & Structure

A sagging roofline, or daylight in the attic; deck or structural damage, the kind a replacement is built to fix.

Curling

Failing Shingles

Bald, cracked, or curling shingles; granules in the gutters; a shingle field worn out across the roof.


Choosing Your Roof

The right system for your Richardson home.

Architectural asphalt or standing-seam metal; most Richardson homeowners choose between the two, and both perform with 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? We walk your Richardson roof, weigh your budget and your plans, and recommend the system that fits, not the one that pads a bill.


Straight Talk on Price

What actually drives your Richardson price.

Two roofs, one Richardson street, very different prices; none of it is random. Here is what moves the number.

Size

Squares & Footprint

Roofs price by the square; a square is 100 square feet; more squares on your Richardson roof, more material and labor.

Pitch

Slope & Complexity

Steep roofs, and cut-up roofs full of valleys, hips, and dormers; longer, and more care; above the cost of a plain gable.

Layers

Tear-Off & Old Layers

Always a tear-off to the decking; one or more old layers to pull and haul, at labor and dump fees; a two-layer roof costs more to clear.

Decking

Decking Repairs

Rotten or soft decking found at tear-off; replaced; because a shingle is only as sound as the wood beneath it.

Material

Material Choice

Material is the biggest lever; architectural asphalt at the value end; Class 4 impact shingles, designer lines, metal, and tile each higher in protection and cost.

Access

Height & Access

Second and third stories, tight Richardson lots, pools, landscaping to protect; each adds time and care to the job.


Straightforward Pricing

What a new roof costs in Richardson.

Most roofers dodge the price; we do not; your Richardson number rides on the roof's size, pitch, materials, and access, and here is an honest range with the free inspection that pins it down.

Lifetime Warranty

Every full replacement we install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty and an extended lifetime material warranty, both from the complete Malarkey system we build.

Roofing SystemBest ForTypical DFW Cost
Architectural asphalt shingleBest value; impact-resistant Class 3 standard; most homes$9,000-$16,000

A storm that totaled your Richardson roof; your homeowner's insurance may cover the replacement past your deductible; we run that claim for you, first inspection to final check.


Insurance & Storm Claims

Storm totaled your Richardson roof? We handle the claim.

Enough hail or wind damage; insurers approve a full replacement; you owe only your deductible. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and keep the scope honest.

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

Storm damage or ordinary wear; we draw the line with you before you file, so your Richardson claim starts on solid ground.

Covered vs. Excluded

Storm Damage vs. Wear

Sudden hail and wind, covered; slow wear and age, not; we document the storm damage clearly, so the difference is plain to your adjuster.

Your Deductible

What You Actually Pay

On an approved claim, your wind and hail deductible, often 1 to 2 percent of your dwelling coverage; your insurer covers the rest of the approved scope.

The 180-Day Window

Recover Your Depreciation

About 180 days; that is what most replacement-cost policies allow to finish the work and recover the held-back depreciation, so we keep your Richardson claim moving and lose none of it.


Storm Claims, Step by Step

How a hail or wind claim actually works in Richardson.

A storm-damaged Richardson roof; the claim is simpler than it sounds with us on the moving parts. Here is the whole path.

1. Free inspection and documentation

On your Richardson roof; we find the hail and wind damage and photograph all of it, with clear notes for your carrier.

2. File the claim

You file with your carrier; they assign an adjuster; we tell you exactly what to say, so nothing gets lost.

3. Meet the adjuster on the roof

The step that protects you; we walk your Richardson roof with the adjuster and make sure every bit of storm damage lands in the scope.

4. Approval, scope, and supplements

Claim approved; scope read line by line; anything the carrier left off that code requires, supplemented back in.

5. Install, then recover your depreciation

We install your new Richardson roof; the certificate of completion and final invoice go to your carrier; that releases the recoverable depreciation you are owed.


Two Warranties, in Writing

Your new Richardson roof is covered twice.

More than a handshake behind a new roof; every Davis replacement in Richardson carries two separate warranties, one on the materials and one on our work.

The Materials

Extended Lifetime Material Warranty

A complete Malarkey system, installed by a Malarkey Emerald Pro contractor; that earns your materials an extended lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

The Labor

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

Our workmanship, covered as long as you own the Richardson home; anything we installed that ever fails, we come back and fix.

On Paper

Certificates Included

At closeout, after final payment; both warranties in writing, plus your Class 3 or Class 4 impact certificate for the insurer.


How It Works

Our Richardson roof replacement process.

Five clear steps; most installs in a single day; a jobsite left cleaner than we found it.

1

Inspect

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

2

Estimate

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

3

Prep

Claim filed and managed; install date set; materials dropped and gutters pulled the day before.

4

Install

The crew early; your Richardson roof stripped to the decking; your new Malarkey system built back the right way.

5

Close Out

Gutters reinstalled; a triple magnet sweep for nails; your claim closed out; your warranties issued.


On Install Day

What replacement day actually looks like in Richardson.

Most of the prep before install day even opens; the day before, gutters pulled and materials dropped; the crew starts at first light.

Down to the decking, then built back the right way

Catch-all system down to protect your yard; the old roof stripped to the decking; rotten wood replaced; then 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

One day for the great majority of our Richardson replacements; a second only for roofs that need a lot of new decking or that are simply very large.

The cleanup, and our nail promise

Cleanup built into the job, not tacked on; the catch-all keeps most debris off your Richardson yard; a triple magnet sweep finishes it. A job sheds around 10,000 to 30,000 nails, so one or two later is normal; find more, and we come back to sweep again.

Closeout, depreciation, and your warranties

Roof on; gutters back; additional trades cleared; then the certificate of completion and final invoice release your recoverable depreciation; after final payment, your lifetime warranties and impact certificates issued.

Straight Answers

Richardson roof replacement questions, answered.

The questions Richardson 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 Richardson 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.
