New-construction roofing in Commerce 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.
The job is coordination: dried-in on schedule, sequenced with the other trades, and inspected per Commerce’s new-construction requirements, with a roof system matched to the home’s design and budget.
We work across all of Commerce and the surrounding DFW communities. Estimates are free and written, inspections are documented with photos, and Texas’s insurance rules get followed to the letter: we never waive deductibles and we are not public adjusters.
Roofing in Commerce, specifically
Commerce sits in the metroplex’s Hunt County ring, where the roofing inventory reads differently than the inner suburbs: more acreage and semi-rural properties, more metal roofing on homes as well as shops and outbuildings, and building departments whose permit requirements are often lighter than the big-city versions but still worth knowing cold. Crews route here on scheduled windows rather than same-hour dispatch, storm response covers structures the inner-ring never thinks about (barns, shops, carports), and the free inspection covers all of it in one documented visit.
The same crews cover Greenville, Caddo Mills and Dallas, which keeps Commerce scheduling flexible when storm weeks compress everyone’s calendar.

Hail near Commerce
Reported hail is less frequent around Commerce: NOAA lists 8 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 5 miles. Fewer reports can also reflect fewer storm spotters in smaller communities, so a quiet record is not a guarantee. Hail that size was reported in 6 of the last 20 years. The largest stones on record nearby measured 3.5 inches (teacup size) on April 27, 2026.

Common questions about new construction roofing in Commerce
Do you work with individual owner-builders in Commerce?
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 Commerce?
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.
How fast can you get to Commerce for this work?
Scheduled windows run reliably. Crews route the ring on planned days rather than same-hour dispatch, with genuine emergencies jumping the queue regardless of geography. You'll get honest timing on the first call.
