FAQ

  • Before anything else, you should prioritize your own safety. Remember: wet roofs, tall ladders, and high-stress situations don’t mix well. If you lack the experience to climb, scale, and cover or plug up damage – don’t do it.

    After all, we’re just a call away. Our team has experience working on roofs of all types and in all conditions. You can trust us to get on the scene promptly, cover any exposed areas with tarps or other waterproof materials, and even guide you through the insurance claims process if needed.

  • Absolutely. The DFW Roofers team has a long and successful history working alongside insurance to help homeowners repair their properties after storms. Whether you need a consultation or are just looking for a well-versed contractor to get the job done, don’t hesitate to reach out.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Yes, 3-tab shingles are more affordable due to their composition of lower-cost roofing materials. But their affordability goes a bit further than that too. Beyond being cheap to make, they’re easier to install. So, those savings on time and labor costs get passed onto you.
