Shingle Roof Replacement Services

Look for established local companies with a physical address, liability insurance ($1M+ recommended), workers' compensation, and manufacturer certifications. Be wary of "storm chasers" who appear after hail—they often disappear before warranty claims. Get references from recent local jobs.

Asphalt shingle roofs typically cost $5,000-$12,000 for average homes. Metal roofing runs $10,000-$25,000 but lasts 40-70 years. Tile roofs cost $15,000-$30,000+. Get 3+ written estimates and compare materials, warranties, and installation methods.

File a claim for significant damage from storms, hail, or fallen trees. Document damage with photos before repairs. Be cautious of contractors who offer to "handle your insurance claim" or promise to pay your deductible—this is insurance fraud and can void your policy.

Asphalt shingles last 15-25 years, architectural shingles 25-30 years, metal roofing 40-70 years, and tile 50+ years. Texas heat and storms can shorten lifespan. Annual inspections ($100-$300) catch problems early and extend roof life.

Warning signs include: missing, cracked, or curling shingles; granules in gutters; daylight visible through roof boards; sagging areas; water stains on ceilings; mold or mildew in attic; and a roof over 20 years old. After major storms, always get a professional inspection.

Metal roofing is increasingly popular for Texas due to durability, energy efficiency, and storm resistance. Architectural shingles offer good value and 25-30 year warranties. Clay tile excels in hot climates but is heavy and expensive. Choose impact-resistant materials in hail-prone areas for insurance discounts.
