Roof Replacement in Arlington, TX

There are two approaches: a full tear-off, removing the old roofing down to the decking, or an overlay, adding new shingles over the existing layer. Which fits your roof depends on existing layers and decking condition, determined during your free inspection.

Lifespan varies by material: architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years, though DFW hail and heat can push that toward 20–25; Class 4 impact-rated shingles reach up to 40 years; standing-seam metal runs 40–70 years; tile, terracotta or metal, typically lasts 50-plus years, with clay tile sometimes reaching 100. Every installation carries our own 10-year workmanship warranty in writing, regardless of material.

For a typical 2,000–2,500 sq ft DFW home: asphalt shingle replacement runs $9,000–$18,000, a Class 4 upgrade adds $1,500–$4,000 on top, and metal roofing runs $26,000–$90,000. Your exact number depends on pitch, tear-off layers, and decking repairs, confirmed during the inspection.

It's a building-code rule, from the International Residential Code, adopted by most DFW jurisdictions, stating that if more than 25% of a roof needs repair within a 12-month period, the whole roof has to be brought up to current code rather than patched. It matters most for insurance claims: if storm damage covers more than a quarter of your roof, a full replacement is often required anyway, not just a repair.

Often, yes, if the damage is from a covered event like hail or wind, but older roofs are more likely to get paid out at actual cash value (ACV) instead of full replacement cost, meaning your payout accounts for the roof's age and wear. See our guide to ACV vs. RCV for what that actually means for your claim.
