New-construction roofing in Irving 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.
On a new build in Irving, the roofing job is coordination: dried-in on schedule, sequenced with the other trades, and inspected per Irving’s new-construction requirements. The roof system is matched to the home’s design and budget. Estimates are free and written and our inspections are documented with photos. Down the road, if the home ever needs an insurance claim, we never waive deductibles (Texas law prohibits it) and we are not public adjusters.
Building new in an established city like Irving
New construction is a small slice of Irving’s housing. Only 14 percent of units were built in 2010 or later, while the median home dates to 1986 and 36 percent predate 1980. That makes a new roof the exception here, and every new roof will face the same weather that has worked on the city’s older roofs for decades.
The weather in question is mostly hail. Within 8 miles of Irving, 1-inch or larger hail has fallen on 33 days since 2006, 9 of those days brought golf-ball-size stones or larger, and the largest measured 4.25 inches on May 24, 2011. Choosing a roof system with that record in mind is part of matching it to the design, and it is easier to get right before the house is dried in than after. Our new-construction crews also build in Euless and Farmers Branch, in addition to Dallas County projects.

Common questions about new construction roofing in Irving
Do you work with individual owner-builders in Irving?
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 Irving?
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.
Do mature trees around our Irving home affect the roof?
Constantly. Canopy debris loads gutters and valleys, branches abrade shingles in every wind event, and shade-side slopes hold moisture longer. Trimming to clearance and keeping drainage clear are the two cheapest roof-life extensions in established neighborhoods.
How often does hail hit Irving?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 33 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 8 miles of Irving, including 9 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 15 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 1.5-inch hail on March 25, 2025.
