- What types of roofs are best for the DFW climate?
That’s a great question. Let’s look at the two big factors: In the DFW area, summers are hot and we get our fair share of severe weather. There’s a certain roofing material that performs exceptionally well in these conditions: Asphalt shingles. Affordable, versatile, and capable of handling very high temperatures, these are some of the most resilient shingles you can buy.
Metal roofs are another excellent option. They aren’t just durable – they’re also reflective, which helps reduce heat absorption. Some homeowners also love tile and slate roofs, which provide a classic look with durable functionality. But it definitely comes at a cost! No matter what you’re looking for, our team can help you find the right material for your home, needs, and local conditions.
- Do I need a new roof or just repairs?
That’s the big question! We’ll have to take a look at the property to decide, but generally speaking, if your roof has isolated damage, such as missing shingles or minor leaks, repairs might be sufficient. But if your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan, shows widespread damage, or has experienced severe weather events, a full replacement may be necessary. Our team would be thrilled to guide you through that decision-making process.
- How much does a new roof cost in the DFW area?
