New-construction roofing in Allen runs on a builder's schedule and the city's inspection sequence, not a replacement timeline. We work with builders, GCs, and owner-builders on production and custom homes.
New construction roofing is a coordination job. The roof has to be dried-in on schedule, sequenced with the other trades, and inspected per Allen’s new-construction requirements, with a roof system matched to the home’s design and budget. Builders and owners get a free written estimate, and each stage is documented with photos so the finished roof has a record from the start. Our standards on insurance matters stay the same on new builds: we are not a public adjuster, and we never waive deductibles under Texas law.
Building New in Allen With Hail in Mind
Allen keeps adding homes: 27 percent of its housing was built in 2010 or later, alongside a 2003 median year built for the city as a whole. A roof going on today will face the same weather its neighbors have. Since 2006, hail an inch or larger has been recorded within 6 miles of the city on 27 days, golf-ball hail on 12, and the largest stone measured 4.5 inches on March 24, 2019.
That record makes a strong case for talking about Class 4 impact-rated shingles at the design stage rather than after the first claim, since choosing them during construction avoids tearing off a new roof later. With hail of that size showing up in 13 of the last 20 years, the question tends to come up sooner than owners expect. We coordinate new builds in Collin County communities including Lucas and Parker.

Common questions about new construction roofing in Allen
Do you work with individual owner-builders in Allen?
Yes. Custom and owner-builder projects are welcome. Your framing schedule, the city's inspection sequence, and a roof system that fits the design.
What roofing systems do you install on new builds?
Asphalt architectural systems most commonly, with metal, tile, and synthetic systems for designs that call for them. Each material guide on this site covers the trade-offs honestly.
How does new-construction inspection work in Allen?
The city inspects at the stages its code requires; we schedule and meet those inspections as part of the job so the builder's timeline holds.
Will this work void our builder's warranty in Allen?
Properly documented work doesn't, and our written findings and scopes are built to keep your builder-warranty file intact. What actually endangers coverage is undocumented storm patching, which we don't do.
