The North Texas Roofing Guide

For a conventional composition asphalt-shingle roof in North Texas, a useful starting range is approximately $4–$7 per square foot.

But that's the beginning of the conversation, not the quote.

See actual project examples and learn what moves the number.

The number matters—but probably not in the way you think.

Class 4 is the highest UL 2218 classification, but two Class 4 shingles don't necessarily perform identically against real hail.

Don't start with the insurance company.

Start by figuring out whether you have damage and what your options actually are.

A professional inspection and photo report can be valuable whether your roof is damaged or perfectly fine.

A missing shingle doesn't automatically mean you need a roof.

But eventually a roof reaches an age and condition where continuing to repair it stops making financial sense.

Texas makes this harder than homeowners might expect.

There is no Texas state roofing contractor license that automatically separates an experienced roofing company from someone who decided to become a roofer yesterday.

Price matters. But so do insurance, references, installation practices, material sourcing and whether the contractor is likely to answer the phone years from now.

If someone sold you a “30-year shingle,” don't automatically plan your next roof replacement for 30 years from now.

North Texas weather tends to have other ideas.
