Roof Replacement

What Is Included

Compare this list against any other bid you get. Most of what decides whether the roof lasts sits under the shingles.

• Property protected first. Tarps over landscaping, plywood over anything fragile.
• Complete tear off to the deck. No layovers, because you cannot inspect decking you cannot see.
• Soft or rotted sheathing replaced. This is the most common change order and we walk it with you before cutting anything.
• Drip edge at eaves and rakes, in the correct sequence relative to underlayment.
• Synthetic underlayment across the field, not felt.
• Self adhered membrane in valleys and around penetrations.
• All new flashing. Reused flashing is the biggest corner cut in this trade and it is where your next leak comes from.
• Correct nailing pattern and fastener count. Manufacturer warranties are void on bad nailing, so we photograph it.
• Ventilation corrected, not just replaced. Intake and exhaust have to balance.
• Daily cleanup and a magnet sweep of drives and lawn at completion.
• Warranty paperwork and manufacturer registration in your name.

What Drives Your Price

Anyone quoting a roof over the phone is guessing. Squares of roof surface rather than floor area, pitch, layers to remove, decking condition once exposed, the number of penetrations and details, and material class. You get all of it as line items.

What We Will Not Do

• Install over an existing roof
• Reuse flashing to hit a price
• Pay, waive or rebate your deductible, which is a crime in Texas
• Skip a permit the city requires
• Give you a discount that expires when we leave the driveway

Who Is Standing In Your Driveway After A Storm

Big hail lands somewhere in the Metroplex most springs, and within a week the neighborhood fills with out of state crews working door to door. Some of them do acceptable work. The problem shows up in year three, when a valley starts weeping and the phone number on the contract is disconnected because the company followed the next storm to Oklahoma or Colorado.

Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level, so a business card proves nothing. Ask for a physical DFW address you can drive to. Ask which city they last pulled a permit in. Ask who answers the phone in February, when there is no storm work. And know that paying, waiving or rebating your deductible is a crime under Texas Business and Commerce Code 27.02, so anyone offering to eat it is telling you how they handle the rest of the job.
