Straight Answers
Talty roof repair questions we hear most.
What Talty homeowners ask us most about repairs, leaks, cost, and insurance.
How much does roof repair cost in Dallas-Fort Worth?
Minor repairs are free at Davis Roofing Solutions, a few shingles, a pipe boot, a small sealant or flashing fix costs you nothing. Larger work runs about $500-$1,500 for moderate repairs (leak or flashing work) and $1,500-$4,000+ for major storm damage or decking replacement. Your exact price depends on the damage, roof pitch, materials, and access, and our inspection and written estimate are always free.
Are minor roof repairs really free?
Yes. Small, straightforward repairs, a lifted or missing shingle, a failed pipe boot, a minor flashing or sealant fix, are done at no charge.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof repair in Texas?
Sudden, accidental damage from a storm (hail, wind, fallen limbs) is generally covered, minus your wind/hail deductible. Gradual wear, age, and neglect are not. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and help you tell the difference so you get what your policy owes you.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage is usually invisible from the ground. Signs include dented gutters, downspouts, and vents; bare spots where granules were knocked off; and soft “bruises” on the shingles. Damage often starts around 1.25-inch hail. After any significant storm, get a free professional inspection, insurers have deadlines to file.
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

Do you offer emergency or same-day roof repair in DFW?
Yes. If your roof is actively leaking, we dispatch fast and can tarp the roof the same day to stop the water and prevent interior damage, then return to complete the permanent repair. Call
817-857-ROOF and tell us it’s an emergency.
How long does a roof last in the DFW area?
In our climate, a 3-tab asphalt roof typically lasts about 12-15 years, architectural (dimensional) shingles about 20-25 years, and metal or tile considerably longer. Intense heat, UV, and hail shorten those numbers, which is exactly why regular inspections and small, timely repairs (which are free with us) pay off.
Can you repair just a section of my roof or match my shingles?
Absolutely. We repair isolated sections all the time and color- and profile-match your existing shingles so the repair blends in. If your shingles are discontinued, we’ll find the closest match and show you the options before we start.
How do I file a storm or hail insurance claim for my roof?
Start by documenting the damage and calling us for a free inspection, we photo-document everything before you file. Then contact your insurer to open a claim and they’ll assign an adjuster. We meet that adjuster on the roof to make sure nothing is missed, review the scope, and complete the repair to your policy. You’ll pay your wind/hail deductible (often 1-2% of your dwelling coverage), and most RCV policies give you around 180 days to finish the work and recover held-back depreciation.
Do you offer a warranty on roof repairs?
No, a one-off roof repair doesn’t come with a warranty. We do a final quality check before we call the job done, and any manufacturer coverage on new materials we install stays intact. Full roof replacements do come with our lifetime warranties.
